Everything was done to save the girl's life, but injuries to the spine were 80 serious that little hope was held out for her recovery.

Daly had been connected with the Buffalo Creek ranch which is owned by P, J. Qualey and John Mahoney and which {s located about 26 miles north of Arminto.

Tuesday Kivet had seen a man killed when « loop of his lariat encir- cled his horse’s feet and the hurtl- ing steer at the other end of the rope jerked the animal crashing down upon as the land transfers to the North and South railroad have been com- pleted. “I wonder if the people of Casper realize what this new road is going to mean to their city,” said Mr. Calkins. “It ia the most important railroad under construction in this country today, and my sincerest miration goes out to Governor Has- kell for his courage in building a line under present market conditions, when costs are high and when rall- road construction is at a low ebb in the United States, Only a man of broad vision would undertake such a task; Dut like most wealthy men, assembling and distribution of prod- ucts is only possible on a large scale through competition and the opening up of a country hitherto inaccessible by the raflroads. The association of Governor Haskell's North and South railroad with the Milwaukee will mean that Casper will be a regular Milwaukee stop; and it will also mean, in a broader sense, connecting Casper with 11.000 miles of main line track in addition to the two great systems you already have running through your city. “The geographicat location of Cas- per is ideal.
