This valuable newspaper property which has for the joa year been owned and directed by Mr. Charles W. r- ton is again the property of the undersigned. Ever since disposing of the property a year ago the “urge” has remained more or less active. It declined to be stilled by travel. The more of the world we saw, the more uncontrollable the “urge.’’ Idleness made it even worse. Then the occasion presented in the acquirement by Mr. Barton of the daily newspapers at Sheridan and his desire to give his personal attention to the new field. A deal was promptly effected culminating in the trans- fer today. { A year’s vacation, we hope, has not made us a’strang- er to the friends and supporters of the Tribune. e trust it has not at all disturbed the cordial relations that were established in the founding and nurturing of the Daily Tribune through the years of struggle to make it a metropolitan newspaper worthy of the support and co- operation it received. i Indeed, the strongest inducement to again enter the publishing field, was because we were cut off from the associations and neighborly relations that are a part of the newspaper business and which we have lived for so many years, The Tribune of the past has been a very fair index of our hopes and ambitions, We have other and larger ambitions for Casper and Wyoming, but of these we would prefer to show accomplishment rather than to offer promises.
