a fact that during the months of Sep

and It la something we do not hesi

You are at liberty to make such
use of this letter as you desire.
Yours very truly,

YEAGER TRIAL ENDED
Editor E. R. Purcell of the Broken
How Chief was made the victim of a
practical joke one night recently,
when he had an exciting experience
with a supposed coal thief, which he
will probably not forget soon. For
BOine time Mr. Purcell had missed
large quantities of coal from a bin
adjoining his garage, and try as he
would he was unable to stop the
leakage or locate the thief. Finally
he put an additional timber on the
coal receptacle and double locked
It with the best hardware he could
find. He then Inrormed his wife and
mother-In law If he so much as heard
a suspicious sound coming from the
vicinity of the garage during the
night there would be trouble for
son.e one. Then there came a night
when the editor was awakened by a
sound resembling that of shoveling
coal Hastily throwing on a bath
robe he went to the back porch to
listen. Some one was evidently get
ting away with the coal, and further
mole did not take the trouble to
stop operations when the editors
voice broke the stillness. He ilia
running only about thirty-five miles
an hour. The last four coaches, a
chair car, tourist, dining car and
Pullman sleeper, were derailed The
accident occured in u cut so the
coaches were not turned complete-j tinctly announced to the darkness

trucks and lay on her side. Though .. .u . ,

The trial of C. C Yeager for kill
lng policeman John Johnson of Lara-
mi j. Wyo., June 11, l!10, ended a
week ago last Saturdny. The jurv
brought In a verdict of guilty in the
second degree. The case will he ap
pealed. C. C. Yeager Is a son of S.
C. Yeager, formerlyof Alliance.
While no one is justified in tak
ing human life, sxcept In self defense
or in derense of those dependent up
on him. It seems that from what we
can learn that the circumstances lead
ing up to the killing of the police
man were most aggravating. Yeager
had gone into business at Laramie,
nnd was carrying a stock valued at
$1,500. He had been owing a debt r
IS80. A few days before the occur
aaea thai branded him as a murderer
lie paid 1300, leaving n balance of
$IS0. As a matter of spite work, so
It Is claimed, the $1,500 stock was at
tached for the balance of 1I0. Yeager
resisted the execution or the attach
Blent, and the policeman was called,
and in the fracas that followed, was
shot by Yeager. It is claimeil by his
friends that he would have been
cleared at the trial had it not boat
for the prejudice against him on ac
count or his being a new man and
almost a stranger in the town.
