The Wyoming convention faces a heated fight over the one senator per county provision. Debates focus on representation equity versus population based seats as factions clash and votes swing between equal representation and proportional schemes.
The three minute trotting class of $250 pursed first on the program with Stella Magnet winning in straight heats over Leo's Venture and Billy Lightfoot. A novelty mile dash of $220 saw Red Elm win ahead of Olympia and Sympathetics Last. The day also featured a mule and foal, Percheron displays, and strong exhibits from Zehner Buechner Co. and Singer Sewing Machine Co. with extensive art and animal shows drawing crowds.
A man’s body was found in a washout near Doulgas Wyoming about nine miles east of town. He appeared mid aged and large, with wolf damage and blood soaked clothing. An inquest ruled death by hands unknown and no clues had been found.
The coast foaled by Tim Dyer's mare mule was exhibited at the fair to a 2000-person crowd. The colt is one month old, born twenty miles from Cheyenne on Dyer's ranch where the male mother was raised. The spotted brown and white freak shows shed hair on the haunches and resembles its mother. This marks the third authenticated case, two others having been shown in Paris ecological gardens. The freak is healthy and expected to earn a large sum.
Mr Stewart spoke over an hour on irrigation and an hour on silver, outlining western water potential and state prospects. Major Powell urged local laws tuned to water distribution for arid regions, stressing community adaptation and the shift from land to water concerns.
Stokes and Whitehouse of Laramie saw their mare Imp Creole lead in the hurdle cup at the county fair amid close chases by Banter and Mack. Jack and Banter battled hard with Creole refusing once and Creole and Bedouin subsequently racing after the final jump.
