The See Ben Realty Co. of Casper, Wyo., Ben L. Sherck, prop., offered a bargain in western real estate last week—the Big Horn country’s fabled Lost Cabin Ranch.

May 7, 1915 — American multi-millionaire Alfred Vanderbilt died a hero on this day trying to save women and children aboard the liner Lusitania, which was sunk by a German U-boat.
The ship, owned by the Cunard Line, was built to dominate the highly lucrative transatlantic passenger trade. Launched in 1906, it was completed the following year as the largest ship in the world weighing 31,550 tons.
The maiden voyage of the 787 feet (240 metres)-long liner took place on September 7, 1907, when she sailed from Liverpool in England to New York City.
