(Hat Creek is in Niobrara county)

Abe Swan, a well-known cattleman, was found frozen to death on Wednesday near his home at Hat creek.  Mr. Swan left Lusk for home, driving a team of spirited horses.  On Thursday a neighbor discovered the horses on the prairie entangled in the lines and with the wagon overturned.  Search was made for the driver, whose body, frozen still, was found in a pasture within a mile of his home.  It is supposed the team became unmanageable and ran away, throwing Mr. Swan out.  In his efforts to reach home he wandered from the road and was overcome by the cold.  The deceased was 38 years of age, and has been engaged in the stock business since 1882.  He was a brother of Thomas J. Swan, proprietor of the C. R. ranch, and W. H. Swan, both prominent cattle owners.  – The Daily Boomerang, Laramie, Wyoming Territory, 28 January 1890

Freak Calf Dies Soon after Birth Severe Snowstorm Causes Death Double-Headed Curiosity on Wyoming FarmFREAK CALF DIES  SOON AFTER BIRTH
Severe   Snowstorm  Causes Death Double-Headed  Curiosity on Wyoming Farm.
LANDER, Wyo., April 15.
The recent snowstorm cost the life of a double-headed calf, the queerest freak ever born In this section of Wyoming.
This creature was born on the farm of William Steers on New York. It was still alive when found, but dying from
the effects of exposure.
The calf had two perfect mouths, each equipped with an abnormal set of teeth, and both opening into one throat.
Two sets of nostrils connected with a single windpipe. There were four perfect eyes and three ears, the extra ear
growing from the center of the forehead
When Steers found the creature it was evident that it had made a gallant struggle against the weather. He is of the
opinion that it  would have survived had it been born at the ranch house, where it could have been cared
for properly.
The head of the freak has been brought to Lander for mounting(News Article)
Finds Important Fossils in Wyoming Date: 1907-09-10; Paper: Olympia Record

FINDS IMPORTANT FOSSILS IN WYOMING
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept 10.
W. H. Heed, paleontologist of the University of Wyoming, has made several Important discoveries In "Hell's Half
Acre 35 miles southwest of Casper.
Among others is the complete skeleton of a horse, which was no larger than an ordinary fox of this age. The
skeleton demonstrates almost conclusively that Wyoming was the birth-place of the equine race.
Another fossil is perfect and is a replica of that of the beaver of the present day.  The complete skeleton
of a dog of the aligocene tertiary age was dug up, the size of the animal not having differed from that of the
average dog of the present, but the long sharp teeth showing that the ancestor of the modern canines was
a great flesh eater and hunter.
Professor Reed dug from "Hell's Half Acre" the complete skull of a calf titanotherium, a monster that was extinct probably a million years before
some of the oldest fossils hither to found were created. The newly discovered fossils are to be added to the
university museum.

transcribed by Debbie GibsonHome From Wyoming – Peter Thorton and T. J.. McDonnell have returned from Kimmerer, Wyo., where they disposed of the land holdings of their brother, Mr. Thorton, who died there about two years ago and was the owner of considerable real estate and personal property. With the land which was sold on this trip, they disposed of all his holdings in Wyoming and only 235 acres left in Idaho. The land sold the other day brought $30,260 and was bought by McGinniss & Warner. The land sold previously amounted to $5,200. The personal property consisted of several thousand head of horses and cattle and the five persons interested received quite a sum of money from the estate. Mr. Thorton went west 30 or 40 years ago and was of an industrious turn and managed to accumulate quite a fortune. As he had never married, the property reverted to his brothers and sisters.

 
A fatal accident occurred in the mine at Sweetwater last Saturday evening when Louis Misura lost his life. In some
manner he fell between the cars and the trip passed over him. Misura was 26 years of ago and a native of Italy.
His wife is now on her way from the old country to join him in Wyoming.
