LITTLE GIRL IS KILLED AS AUTO IS TURNED OVER
Other Passengers in Accident Near Carpenter Escape Unhurt in Late Afternoon Crash.
Virginia Schweitzberger, 11 months old, died at the Cheyenne Private hospital this morning, seven hours after receiving injuries in an automobile accident near the Nash ranch, which is close to Carpenter, yesterday evening at 5 o'clock.
There were five persons in the machine when it turned upside down. The automobile was being driven by Ralph Schwitzberger, father of the dead baby, when the accident occurred. The front seat was occupied by his wife and their baby, besides himself, when the car suddenly left the road and landed upside down.
Two Thrown Clear
Alice M. Riner, 12 years old, and another daughter of the Schweitzberger's who is only three years old, were in the back seat, and were thrown clear when the accident occurred, but Mr.and Mrs. Schweitzberger and the baby were all pinned under the car.
Worming himself into a position where it was possible for him to get a purchase against the weight of the car, Mr. Schweitzberger succeded in raising it enough to extricate his wife, and then the baby. Although he and his wife were severely bruised, they escaped serious injury.
Baby Brought Here
The baby was rushed to Cheyenne by Dr. Martin of Carpenter, and was taken immediately to the Private hospital where Dr. Martin and Dr. G. P. Johnston of this city operated. For a time it was hoped that the baby would live, but this hope waned, and at 3 o'clock this morning she died.
The parents were so badly shaken and bruised that they were not able to come to the Cheyenne hospital with the little girl, and were unable to come in today. Dr. Martin stayed here with the baby, and returned with the body to Carpenter this afternoon. The funeral will be held at the Methodist church in Carpenter tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 

John E. Ryan, for the past twenty years a resident of Cheyenne, died Monday of pneumonia at the age of 48. He served during the war, and was imprisoned in both Libby and Andersonville.
FIRST WOMAN VOTER LIVES IN CHEYENNE
Mary Lee Stark, the first woman to cast a vote in the United States, is a resident of Cheyenne. Mrs. Stark cast her first ballot shortly after Wyoming was admitted to statehood with a woman sufferage a part of its constitution.
Mrs. Stark lived in Cheyenne many years ago, later moving to Laramie, and thence to Fort Morgan, Colo. From Fort Morgan she went to Lost Cabin, Wyoming, and has recently come back to Cheyenne. She is an old, silver-haired lady, almost ninety years of age. She is a sister-in-law of S. A. Bristol, of Cheyenne, and her husband, Nathaniel A. Stark, who died a short time ago was the first superintendent of Cheyenne schools.
It has been so long ago that she cast the first vote ever cast by a woman that Mrs. Stark has forgotten just what building the ballot was cast in, she reports, but believes that it was an old recreation hall that was formerly used in this city.

ROBERT MORRIS DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
Pioneer Court Reporter and Man Who Obtained Carnegie Donation Expires at Noon Today.
Robert Morris is dead.
He died shortly before noon today in the Cheyenne Private Hospital from the results of a stroke of paralysis suffered six years ago.
Mr. Morris was the son of Mrs. Esther Morris, "mother" of woman's suffrage in Wyoming. He had been in the hospital for some time, and yesterday his condition became critical. He had been unconscious for several hours prior to his death.
For many years Mr. Morris was official reporter for the Wyoming state supreme court and it has been said he was the most expert reporter the state ever had, certainly excelled by none. From court reporting he went to Green River to participate actively in the general mercantile business conducted by his brother, Edward Morris. Mr. Morris took over the business after his brother's death.
Obtained Library
To Mr. Morris Cheyenne was chiefly indebted for its Carnegie library. It was largely through his efforts that a donation of $50,000 was secured from Andrew Carnegie.
Mrs. Morris was living at the time at South Pass, Wyoming, and served there as justice of the peace, the first and only woman justice in the country. Another son, half-brother of Mr. Morris, also became a distinguished citizen of the state--Col. E. A. Slack, for 30 years owner and publisher of the Cheyenne Leader, and one of Wyoming's foremost editors. Colonel Slack died about 10 years ago.

All parts of the country are experiencing a recurrance of the disease. From coast to coast many cases and deaths are reported. Perhaps it is no more than what previous to last year was called grippe and which occasionaly developed into pneumonia and claimed its victim.
Cheyenne is afflicted with an unusual amount of sniffles, and people are in a way different to caring for them.
