Weekly Leader Military Matters and Local Happenings
Five children were born in Evanston last week and Laramie promotes Pinafore with local talent. News covers water main work in north city, scarce carpenters, and resignations at Rawlins and Union Pacific shops. Ranch updates mention Upper Horse Creek crops, Masten’s block, and Murphies. Military movements include Fort Laramie to Fort Omaha transfers and court martial duties at Fort Sidney Neb. The 9th Infantry Band earns praise while local roads, weather, and a new school district headline daily life notices.
