Wyoming Oil Boom and Notable Local Incidents
Wyoming oil developments dominate the page with Strata reports from Glenrock and Salt Creek fields, including 750 barrels daily from Kinneywell 17 and a new Thermopolis to Warm Springs pipeline. Other items note a fatal lightning strike near South Pass, a man killed by a mine car at Glencoe, and a man jailed for transporting girls under the Mann Act. The state hosts major trapshooting events at Douglas and a union reunion at Kemmerer, plus fair news and a new female letter carrier in Pine Bluffs.
