Stock Losses in Wyoming Normal It us sell Thorp ot Link, Wyo., ons of Hie most extensive cattle and sheep feed er In the state, la la Omaha. Discussing . the lira stock situation In Wyoming, Mr. Thorpe says It la no where as serious as It promised to be when the spell of frigid weather wsa hovering over the country. He figures that the losses ot the cattlemen and flockmastori will be Just about normal. Both cattle and sheep are thinner than usual, owing to the long continued cold hu; aside from this, they are in very good condition and art going to come through the winter fairly well unless there should ke unusually cold weather and bad storms during; February and March. - According to- Mr. Thorpe, outside ot the cattle and aheap country, people do not understand tke situation. With many tbe opinion prevails that the owners ot stock go into the winter with little hay. expect. lug that their animals will subsist picking the dry grass on the range. The situation is iHe the reverse of this; " OMAHA PARKS COMPARED WITH THOSE OF OTHER CITIES In a communication from the park commissioner the mayor and council are "given an idea of what other cities ar expending" for parks and boulevards and tit value of the Omaha park and boule vard, system Is set forth In comparison with other cities.

New York Lad Lured Into West by Tales About Wild Indians Where are all the Indians'" queried Edward Downs, a 13-year-old New York bay, who had come to Omaha to see some of the real wild and woolly west. Instead he saw the police, who looked very much like the New York cops, and very much like thry do in other metropol itan places. They led him to the station. I read there were a lot ot wild Indians around here, and that sometimes they Jult shot up everything and killed people and scalped them slid held war dances and everything," the boy explained to Juvenile officers. 'A man told me If I would just wait around here they would come In and ride whooping and shouting ui and down the streets. I've waited three dsys, but I haven't seen any." After being taken to the detention home the boy became convinced that there were no very ferocious Indians around here. "This place looks something Ilk New York." he said and at this the detention offloors swelled out their chests, "nay, 1 think I'll go home. I've got 11.3 here. Just go snd tend a telegram to my fslher and he will forward me a ticket." Juve nile officers did as directed and back hy telegraph came tbe order for a tloket.
