Evidence Was Not Good. The supreme court dld the unusual in not only reversing a criminal case but ad- vising the prosecution that if there is no other evidence to be disclosed the defend- ant should be released and the case di missed, This was the case of Dr. F. W. Sells of Clarke county, convicted of as- sault upon & young womap at his sani- tarium at Clearfield. The cdse turns solely upen the evidence and the court declares that the whole story as told by the prose- cuting witness was so improbable and so at variance with all human’ experience that it would have to be very strongly corrobor- ated. This was not done, heuce the court deoldes squarely that Sells was wrongly convicted upon the evidence. The ‘Careon College of Psychic-Sarcol- ogy" of Missourl recsived a hard bump in supremfe court when conviction of one of its “graduates” for fllegal practice of the healing art was affirmed. The court found that L. M. Adkins, prior to attaining his majority, “h&d led a bucolic life,” and after three years at this college had secured a diploma entitling him to cure everybody. He turned his attention naturally to the appendix and became its staunch defender against the surgeons, and advertised his great healing powers by ‘natural laws.” The court found that he ought to have demonstrated his famillarity with the hu- man body and secured a state certificate, but he did not try to do so. | Clifford Thorne, candidate for raliroad | commissioner, won a case in supreme court today, that of Maxwell against McColl involving & right of way for road purpos across some land.

R e e e HILL RUSHES WYOMINGWORK Burlington Throws Greatest Energy Into Kirby-Shoshoni Line. NORTH AND SOUTH CONNECTION Now Laying Track from Kirby to Within Five Miles of Therm- opolis, Which it Will En- ter Soom. SHOSHONI, Wyo., Feb. 10.—(Special)— The Burlington Is preparing to rush its new work in Wyoming, especially on the eut-oft trom Kirby to Shoshonl, which will be the connécting link between north and south Wyoming, and 'which will make a complete second Hill line through Wyom- ing. The Burlington is now laying traék from Kirby to within five miles of Thermopolis, and by the middle of March, or not later than April 1, it will be running its trains into Thermopolls. Frows Thermopolis south the construction work Is not as far advanced, but is being rushed as much as conditions will allow at this time of the year. Through the Big, Horn canvon the work {s diffioult, and from the north end of the canyon to a few miles south of the Boysen property there Is apparently 40 per cent of the work done. From the south end of the canyon to Bad Water the work is well advanced and will be completed by the time the eanyon work is finished From a point ‘on Bad Water, where the Shoshoni-Thermopolis stage line ocrosses, construction work has just commenced and camps are being established all along the line to Powder ~River station on the Northwestern.

Grading is being done for side tracks and a station at the Boysen dam, at ‘the entrance to Big Horn gorge, also pur- chases have been made for a station on the Dave- Shoning ranch, about ten mlles northeast of Shohon!, and six miles north of Moneta, on the Northwestern. The bridge plers have been completed where the road will eross the Big Horn river, one-half mile south of the Boysen dam. The weather has been unusually cold this winter in this part of Wyoming. Notwith- standing reports to the contrary, the live stock interests have suffered big losses on account of the severe, oold weather, the heavy snowfall, and inabflity to get feed from eastern points for stock. The losses have been most severe between Casper and Shoshonl. With the completion of the new line of the Burlington there will be great activity fn mll central Wyoming. Shoshoni will prosper, as will also Thermopolis and other towns along thé line. Thermopolls may soon be one of the best towns in Wyom- ing, Frontier Day in Augnst.
