A string of train robberies with three hold ups in three months prompts U P guards on westbound trains. The Cheyenne to Walcott incident left a guard shot, but the bandit surrendered after a posse tracked him down. Carlisle recovered his loot and praised guard Fred Dudley as a capable scout and good loser.

Senate Reported On House Stockman Entry Bill
The Senate will likely debate a House stockman entry bill unchanged. Stockmen urged restricting entries to designated lands, but Senate action remains uncertain. If enacted as is, entries could occur like the enlarged homestead law without land designation. The committee backs letting Agriculture Secretary set stock trail widths as needed. The timing for Senate consideration is not fixed.
