From Lander tn Douglas on the Northwestern a heavy snowfall is re- ported; the conditions ir this entire |area. being approximately the same as jat Casper. East of Douglas a lighter snowfall was reported all the way to Harrison, Neb. West of Lender the snowfall seems to be general in all the mountain regicas in the western part of the state. The temperature at Casper was mod- erate and from reports the same con- ditions prevail throughout the entire area under the snow blanket. snow at various points along the line indicate that it is too heavily saturated with moisture to drift. Under present conditions the lines can be kept open easily. | ‘With the ranges of central and northern Wyoming very dry, prior to the storm, the snowfall with its heavy water content should prove a boon to all rural interests. The only dangers that attend the storm would be an unexpected precipit: ous drop in temperature. Such a con- dition would work untold damage among the livestock interests especizi- ty in the sheep areas in the snow cov- ered district.

At the outset of a brief speech Mr. Garner said that tn this world there “are all ktpds of liars, ‘the artistic Mar, the inartistic liar, and the com- mon liar.” Representattve Blanton, sitting a few feet away jumped to his feet and exclaimed: “And I old you person- ally responsible if you call me a liar.” Mr. Garner did not notice the inter- ruption, but Kepresentative Sumners, also of Texas, sitting nearby, jumped to bis feet and shouted liar at Mr. Blanton at the same time starting in his direction. It was at this point that he sergeant- at-arms rushed in and Blanton retired. Then there came from the Democratic side of the chamber a cry of “throw him out,” which was picked up by other Democrats, and for a moment there was great confusion.

Attacking Bmanton as a “creature,” Mr. Garner declared: “It is a hard thing to say what is in one’s mind about an individual. I say I have he firm enviction that I believe, this individual creature would debauch the virtue of his own family to accumulate wealth or to put him- self forward from a political stand- point.”” Pointing to Representative Butler; of Pennsylvania, a veteran member of the house and to Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, the Democratic leader, Mr. Garner said nobody on earth would ever say that either would utter an untruth. “But I have in mind an indtvidual— not a man—a creature who is the com- monest, the biggest liar that ever spoke a word of English in this country. I have in mind a man who would put into the congressional record, if he had the opportunity anything that would be calculated to make the people of Texas believe you get your food free in Washington. “I have in mind a creature, who would go te that same stationery room and make inquiry about a whisky flask and then ask the superintendent to get him one from Philadelphia that he might parade it in Texas as an evi- dence of what congressmen get.” x2 (eeee een Steet ITALIAN BANK FRAUD CHARGED.
