Wyoming Briefs Reflect Harsh Winter and Local Happenings
Notes from Laramie to Thermopolis cover a wide range: funds raised for Salvation Army to buy an organ, a Laramie man badly frozen and hospitalized after wandering from Sheridan toward Kaycee, and cattle losses totaling about 5 000 dollars when 75 head drowned on the Big Horn river. Thermopolis plans a building campaign for 1920, derricks rise on Trinidad and Crescent domes, and a Hot Springs County high school proposition passes after prior defeat. Funeral services for Ora Haley recall a frontier pioneer who moved from Denver to Wyoming.
