Having hastily thrown out a line from Illco to the Salt Creek field, the Wyoming North and South rail- road’ is. now peddling excuses for not carrying on its construction work. ‘The company was organized to bulla a road from here to Miles City, Mont. It is eas$ to see why there ts little hurry to make a complete job of the N. & 8. With Casper and Salt Creek connected, the company has “put in its thumb and pulled out a plum.” The operation of this short stretch of road is not a paying proposition for Casper, but it is for the N. & 8. s ‘We have lost the greater part of our trucking Mnduitry and its large ineomes On-the other hand, because of through rates the North and South is doing an immense amount of hauling. The new railroad knows that this end of its “proposed” line will for some time to come be its best revenue getter. ‘What Casper wants, as far as the N, & 8S. is concerned, is everything or nothing. We want to have the country north of here opened up and developed. We want direct connection with Sheridan and other northern Wyoming towns.

PUNCHES WITH VISITORS AND OFFICIALS Men and Women Tram- pled on During Fracas Which Necessitated Calling Riot Squad. PROVIDENCE, R. I., June 17.—A riot followed an at- tempt today by Republicans to prevent Lieutenant Gov- ernor Toupin from presiding over today’s session of the state senate. Men and women were trampled upon by the political com- battants. Republican and Democratic sena- tors clashed with spectators taking: sides in a free for all fist fight. Prepared to take control of the senate, the Republican senators backed by deputy sheriffs assigned to duty by high Sheriff Jonathan Andrews, arrived early for today's session. The chamber and galleries were crowded. While Lieutenant Governor Toupin, a Democrat, was in the doorway of the senate lobby, Senator Arthur A. Sherman, Repub; can, mounted the rostrum and called the senate to order. Immed- fately the senate was in an uproar, Amid the screams of women and the cheering of partisans, word was sent to Gqvernor Flyny that a riot was in progress. Meanwhile Sher- iff Andrews took a place on the floor and succeeded In separating the combatants, Governor Flynn pushed ‘his way through the ‘crowd, mount- ed the rostrum and cautioned the disturbers, Shortly. after the riot ended police reserves from every precinct in the city arrived at the state house. The Republicans have bitterly op- Posed Democratic appropriatiors measures since February. State Senator Quinn and Reading Clerk Dooley grappled when Mr, Dooley startéd to call the roll. Sec- rectary of State Sprague went to the assistarice of Mr. Dooley while spec- tators came to the aid of Senator Quinn, Senator Sanderson climbed on a chair at the press table and made a motion’ which some of the spectators interpreted as an attempt to strike Senator Quinn over the head when he was thwarted by a re- Porter, At this point, the disorder became general and the middle of the senate chamber was a mass of scrambling men and women. Senator Sherman, as president of the senate, under the law may pre- side in the absence of the Heuten- ant governor, If the coup had suc+ ceeded, the Republican magorty would have acted on the annual aps Propriation bill and other importang ills. After a Iong conference between Governor Flynn and various of. ficlals, the leutenant governor regus larly called the senate to order.
