Ridgley Convicts Twenty-five.
H. S. Ridgley, formerly of this city,
now United States prosecuting attorney
for Wyoming, is certainly proving "a
terror to evil doers." Tho term of
federal court closed at Choyenne Satur
day and during the term Ridgley pros
ecuted twenty-five persons charged
with violating tho federal laws, and
secured the conviction of cveryono of
them and each were sentenced to the
federal prison nt Ft. Leavenworth.
Among tho defendants was a woman
who is worth $500,000, but she liko the
others was forcedjto "take her medi
cine." In addition to tho United States
practice, Mr. Ridgley and his partner
have a large private practice, and re
cently won a case where their client
sued for $81,000 and secured a verdict
for that amount. In this case Mr.
