Fraudulent Amber Letters From Prisoners Target US Relatives
A State Department notice warns Americans of a long running swindle. Spanish con artists pose as prison guards or priests to force distant relatives to send money for a supposed custody claim and hidden funds. The scheme relies on fake letters from a Cuban prisoner and a loyal priest to secure funds through a secret valise and certificate of deposit.

Wyoming Brand Chaos Prompts New Law and Delays
The stock brand system remains tangled as many brands sit unrecorded and conflict with others. Secretary Durbin faces a flood of 10 000 brands with about 4 600 still unrecorded, delaying new brand approvals and leaving stockmen unsure of ownership. A brand book deadline looms but seems unlikely this year. A second note reports Tom Burke acquiring the Casper saloon from Bob Stevens, with Burke planning to move his Shoshoni family to Casper.

Anniversary Eagles Dance Featured Fine Flowers and Food
A Monday night anniversary dance hosted by the Eagles lodge drew a large crowd to the hall. Dancers received long stem roses for ladies and carnations for gentlemen as the floor committee organized ample dancing time and a big free supper met expectations. The Douglas band was praised as Wyoming National Guard’s official band, with Capt. KF De Castro leading and Esmay guiding rapid progress. An accident at Douglas left contractor J. H. Famary severely injuring his left hand, hindering clarinet play for the band. The County Pioneers' association will meet at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. J.M. Trevett.
