TOWNSEND JOHN T. SCOTT A FRONTIER DAYS CELEBRATION Most Successful Wild West Carnival Ever Held. The Frontier Days celebration at Cheyenne, which closed on Saturday was the most successful ever held, both in attendance and quality of tertainment. These exhibitions of the customs of the pioneer days have come to be an interstate event, many people from distant states witnessing and participating in the sports. The title of world's champion broncho buster and also that of champion steer roper, both held by residents of Wyoming, were lost to outsiders.

The new broncho busting champion is Dick Stanley of Oregon, and Ikua Purdy of Honolulu, Hawaii, won the world's championship for roping and tying a steer, the best record being made in 56 seconds. Mrs. Clayton Danks, formerly of Casper, won the ladies relay race. Dick Stanley, the new champion broncho buster, although 28 years of age, for fifteen years past has been a professional rider. He is the owner of a wild west show, and, when he heard that a championship riding contest was to be conducted at Cheyenne, he left the show on the Pacific coast and burried to Wyoming.

Realizing that he would arrive too late to enter, he telegraphed from Ogden, Utah, that he was coming to ride, the message reaching the Frontier committee just as the entries in the championship contest began to draw for horses. At the last instant Stanley's name was dropped into the hat and as a result the showman became champion of the world. Stanley's sensational riding was the more remarkable because he 1S badly crippled, both his legs having been broken and dislocated at the knees, and at this time he is recovering from a fracture of the clavicle. Nevertheless, just to show what he could do, Stanley, as one Casper man put it, "throwed away his stirrups, spurred his hoss at every jump, and set 'im right." In the decision of the judges Stanley was given first money and the championship saddle, Danks second, Stevenson third. Frontier Day Visitors.

Quite a number of Casper people went to Cheyenne on Wednesday afternoon last week to witness the Frontier exercises, and those who have returned home say that the town was overcrowded, but the show was good. As high as six peope slept in one room and there were not less than two in a bed. The decorations were not near as elaborate or tasty as the Casper decorations on a gala day.

PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETING Much Pleasure and But Little Work Indulged In. The Wyoming Press. association is in session at Sheridan today and besides an interesting session for the pencil pushers an elaborate program is being carried out for their entertainment. Congressman Mondell is present and last evening he delivered an address on "'The Optomistic Press," and papers interesting to the craft will be read by different editors in the state. Yesterday morning the members of the association visited the great Monarch coal mines, leaving Sheridan by special train at 10 o'clock.

A "Dutch lunch" was served in the mine by Manager Holbrook, and in the afternoon the members were the guests of the Sheridan county fair, and in the evening a reception was given by Sheridan citizens in the Elk's hall. This morning a business session will be held, after which an automobile tour will be made over the city and a visit will be made to Fort Mackenzie, and in the afternoon they will again be the guests at the fair. Dinner parties, theater parties and dancing parties have been arranged to take up every spare moment of the visitors for three days and most of the three nights. The manager of the Parker shows has asked the press gang to visit them as often as possible, and everything possible is being done by Sheridan business men to make their stay in the city a pleasant one. CLASS OF ELKS A Dozen New Members of the B.

P. O. E. From Casper. Among those who went to Cheyenne last week from this city were about a dozen of Casper's best men who were shown through the mysteries of the Elk's lodge.

Many of them have been on the back of the lodge goat before, but among those who for the first time looked in a lodge room while a session was being held was E. Percy Palmer, and of course he was given everything that anybody else had ever gotten, and a few extras thrown in. He won't say much about it, but the following fits his case: Not a sound was heard save the forest breeze As they hurried him over the trail, And the ceaseless clank of his trembling knees, While his cheeks turned deathly pale. Red-eyed spooks from' the shady glens Pressed hard upon his track, And goblins howled from their dismal dens, But he never once looked back. His feet were torn, by the ruthless tacks As he hobbled toward the goal, And the measured swish of the guardman's ax Struck terror to his soul.

To the ruddy glow of the campfire light At last he was safely led, And he yelled aloud in his wild delight To think that he wasn't dead. Will Attend Grand Masonic Lodge. The following Masons expect to leave Casper next Sunday for Sheridan to attend the grand lodge meetings of the Eastern Star and F. and A. C.

H. Townsend, past grand master; M. P. Wheeler, grand senior deacon; Harold Banner, grand junior steward; G. T.

Morgan, senior warden of Casper lodge; and A. J. Mokler, worshipful master of Casper lodge, is already in that city. Mrs. C.

H. Townsend, grand worthy matron of the Eastern Star, who has been visiting her parents at Oakland, will arrive in Cheyenne on Friday or Saturday and will go to Sheridan from there, to attend the meeting of the grand chapter. McAdams-McShane. Mr. Roy MAdams of Hudson and Miss Anna McShane of Hay Springs, Neb, were united in marriage at 11:30 a.

on Monday, August 24th, by Father Bryant in this city. Miss Katharine McShane, a sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Charles Cody was best man. Mr. Me.

The Richards Cunningham Co. BASE BALL TOURNAMENT Number of Good Games Scheduled for Douglas State Fair Week. J. P. Cantilion, superintendent of the Wyoming division of the Northwestern railroad and one of the redhottest baseball fans in the country, has undertaken at the suggestion of the state fair board to pull off a series of games during the fair for the championship of the state, says the Tribune.

Mr. Cantillon has already secured the entry of the Lander, Hudson and Casper teams, as well as the home team of Douglas, and is making efforts to have the Wheatland, Sunrise and Guernsey heavies get into the game, as well as the Cheyennes and the best of the teams along the Union Pacific on the south and the Burlington on the north. In this city there is not much doubt that the Cheyennes would have an easy victory at the fair, and as they have never been pitted against the other good teams of the state and as there will also be a large delegation from Cheyenne to the fair, there will be a strong sentiment in favor of the local team taking a hand in the tourament. Mr. Cantillon, whose home address is at Casper, invites the managers of teams in all parts of the state to at least write him in regard to the details of the tourament which will be held on the mornings of the four days of the fair, when no other fair events will be interfered with.

The railroads are all offering low rates and the opportunity for a series of good fast games is too good to be overlooked. STATUE OF JUSTICE Bronze Figure "Justice" Will Adorn Our New Court House. The beautiful bronzed copper figure representing "Justice" which will adorn Natrona county's new court house arrived in Casper last week, and for the present is standing in W. S. Kimball's display window.

"Justice" is a woman holding in her left hand above her head the balanced scales, and in her right is a sword, the point of which is at her feet. Her eyes are wide open, which is different from the figures in olden days, when "Justice" was blindfolded, so that she might not see friend or foe when they were brought before the court for trial, and she would not be biased or prejudiced. But so long as our "Justice" has her eyes wide open, it is hoped that in the future no guilty man 1 will escape, and no innocent man will be prosecuted or persecuted. The figure stands seven feet high, is of hammered copper, and she will rest on the front, or south, globe of the court house, looking down Center street. Long may she stand.

Stock Shipments. The North Western Railroad company report the following shipments of stock from points west of Casper, since our last issue: August 21-McCarthy Sullivan, 21 cars sheep, loaded at Wolton. H. Cheshire, 3 cars sheep, loaded at Powder River. C.

E. Blonde, 10 cars cattle, loaded at Shoshoni. Wm. Beal, 3 cars sheep, loaded at Powder! River. Pine Mountain Sheep company, 8 cars sheep, loaded at Mokoma.

August 22-The 94 Sheep company, 8 cars sheep, loaded at Wolton. August 23-G. A. Sullivan, 18 cars cattle, loaded at Moneta. Dr.

Hoff, 5 cars sheep, loaded at Natrona. The Denver office of the Great Western Commission company states that the receipts of sheep for the week at all market points were fairly liberal but the quality is rather common in general and the killing stuff is below normal condition for this time of the year. Sheep values are about steady with last week while the lamb market shows an advance of 15 to 25 cents per owt. Up to the present time there has been little done by the feeders in the way of making his purchase for the winter's feeding for the reason that the range man does not answer the inquiry at the prevailing prices, however we expect that both the buyer and the seller will have to come half way and we hope to eventually see reasonably good prices realized for good feeding stuff. Prices are quoted as follows: Good to choice wethers, $4.00 to fair to good wethers.

$3.50 to good to choice ewes, $3 50 to fair to good ewes, $2.00 to good to choice lambs, $5.85 to fair to good, $5.50 to $5.75. Topped the Market. On Monday, August 17, Clark Natrona county sheepmen, had on the South Omaha market a consignment of sheep and lambs which brought very good prices, the sale of their wethers being reported by Clay, Robinson Co. at $4.00, top of the market, while three doubles of lambs (sold for feeders at $5.40, the highest price paid on the South Omaha market for that class of stock thus far this season.

The children of St. Mark's Sunday school were given a picnic on Garden creek Monday, when about fifty youngsters enjoyed themselves to the fullest measure possible.

At nine o'clock the stage coach and numerous other conveyances were packed with children and all the good things imaginable to eat. After arriving at the ford on Garden creek, swings were put up and games were played, while the ladies were preparing coffee, lemonade and lunch, after which some of the older children made a trip to the falls, others played games and some fished. Races of all kinds, including water melon and peanut races were indulged in, the successful one being awarded a prize, which aforded much fun and merrymaking. At five o'clock the picnicers started for home after having spent a most delightful day. The teachers and chaperones were Mrs.

It is said that a "dead man will tell no but go out into any cemetery and closely observe the tombstones and you will find this axiom disputed to your entire satisfaction.

You will notice that the most of those who departed from this earth during the dark democratic days of 1893-4-5-6, have a small, cheap granite slab headstone to mark their grave; many of the graves are marked with a common board, and some who have gone before are burried in the potter's field, all because those who were left behind did not have sufficient of this world's goods to provide better tomb stones or more desirable burial lots. And you will further notice that since the year 1907, those who were called to that land "from whence no traveler have large, expensive granite shafts at the head of their grave. Any one who will observe must admit this to be true, and this speaks louder and stronger than any campaign argument that can possibly be made against democratic free trade which always has and always will bring disaster and ruin to the people of the United States. The cemetery is a gruesome place to go for campaign argument, but it is likewise the most impressive place in the world. Riverton Celebrated Anniversary.

The citizens of Riverton celebrated the second anniversary of the founding of the town, last Saturday. The program consisted of sports and races of various kinds and was attended by a large number of people. An irlportant feature of the occasion wag a tine display of local agricultural, products of the land watered by the Riverton canal. Knabenshue's Airship.
