The Casper Press: 1908 Miscellany and State Contention
A Casper Wyoming weekly column covers a 1908 Dry Farmers Congress success, a Sunday work fine for Pennsylvanian official J G Ward, and a treasury shift replacing the cent with Lincoln’s head. It notes Valentine Nebraska editor’s brother’s Casper trip, mentions a controversial state cost fund misappropriation probe involving Noah Young, and ends with remarks on California Japan tensions and South Omaha riots as US policy.
Wyoming lawmakers return and local visits noted
Casper residents await Senator Patrick Sullivan and Representative Hugh Patton back from Denver as Patton pushes for a state hospital branch. Patton returned by freight last night while Sullivan is due Sunday. State sheep inspector Hines and deputy Place visited after inspections. Place heads to Glenrock to oversee quarantine releases. Percy Shellenburger, host of the week, has bought the Joe Moore place on Bridger creek for spring improvements.
