That Budweiser
Sanctum Sanctorum
Jack Baird is certainly doing things
to the Budweiser saloon these days,
and any guests who may have been
away in the meantime will certainly
pass it up by mistake when they come
in. The main saloon has been papered
and painted and a real mirror has been
placed behind the bar. The old sour
dough fixtures don’t go any more, and
it’s no iun to whittle holes in the
whiskey cases.
The chief change brought about at
tiie Budweiser is what might be called
the Persian room, or inper court, wiiere
gentlemen are supposed to congregate
to hoist their liquor in a gentlemanly
manner. The big room formerly occu
pied by the Hose cigar store has been
converted into a den with carpets and
big leather chairs where the initiated
can bend a few without causing com
ment. The paper on the wall is a deli
cious dream in red, and it will be a
rare moment when you can lean back
in one of those big divans and negli
gently order a small hot.

Pulled Taffy Last Thursday
They were handing taffy to each
other at the party given by Mrs. Dun
ham Thursday afternoon at her resi
dence on Black street. It was candy
pulling time, and the combined efforts
of the ladies produced a very superior
grade of sweetstuffs.
For Marquette, Gibson and Monogram
go to the Pioneer (in old stand shortly).
Mule Takes Unexpected Leave
While pulling a rather heavy load on
First street yesterday afternoon, a mule
owned by Mickey Gilman was stricken
with heart failure apparently and
dropped dead in the harness. The
event was pulled off with sudden and
dramatic effect, and the demise of the
faithful animal was witnessed by a
large and sympathetic crowd. The
name of this mule was Lucky Jim.

Week of Openings
Works Quite Merrily
During the week two evenings were
: made memorable by large crowds of
' determined people who pried the
| hinges off of the Horseshoe and the
j Board of Trade saloons and presented
j them to the people.
Both affairs were attended by eclat
and e pluribus unum and were official
recognition of the fact that there is
plenty doing in the town even though
it is the quiet season of the year.
The Horseshoe saloon opened in its
new location on the corner of First and
Willow last Tuesday afternoon, and
the Board of Trade re-opened Thurs
day after an extensive overhauling.
Both places are first-clas3 joy empo
riums and will be popular resorts with
the thirsty this summer.

The purchase price for the interest of the.se two grantors is
given at $>26,000, put the payments are not made public.

It is understood that negotiations are pending between Casper

properties to Price & Ives, and that a deal may soon be com
pleted. __
