The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1875-07-06

He felt aggrievei al tI:s aud
lndignant-iu fact he was aroused.
He repaired to the ''deu" Of the am
liable, elastic and erudite Joe Carey,
a gentleman extensively engaged in
nursing his wrath and in stock rails
ing. The little crooked limbel ieI-
low hat ruled Us all with a rod OF
iron, from the infancy of our Terrific
ry until the clouds OF adversely
passed away and Il brighter day
dawnrd upon Wyoming, was there
also. To these select and extra
choice spirits Corey unbOsOmed him
self. He poured out his plants and
SORROWS in a resistless torrent, until
the little man and the big man stood
mute with astOnishInent. He
reached the coal land case in question
in his narration, surmi-cd correctly
thar GenerrI Cotton had uuearthed
the deXterous dealings of II certain
persGn with the witnesses of the
Rocky Mountain Coal Company du-
ring the taking of the testimony be-
fare the Register and Receiver, and
IL was suggested that some ugly doc
uments were filed 10y that gentleman
in Washington which in some way
compromised the names of our Land
Offers. Bishop AInes, of New
/ ~ AhNlhs dllu GNtudAbT DAJflll, III Ahl-
ifOruia, were credited with warding
off the blow that was about 10 deS-
cend on the back Of Winsor's official
neck. Then Corey told the plain un-
vanished truth about how his Off
eta integrity aud rectitude, as well
as That Of Samuel III. Winsur, had
been sorely tempted by the seductive
smiles, gentle pe~rsuasiOns, snd green
backs for ~''eXpenses,n of Isaac w.
French, for a right, proper and just
opinion.
THAT was an attempt at bribery ~
shouts Joe Carey, getting red as a
turkey cock in tie face.
Yes! that WAS "A damrable at
tempt ut bribery - sf.rePched the lit
tie man with his arms ukimbo and
his hands thrust into his tire tchc-
pockets. "A damuable attpmu
1t was! How much did he offer ?i
"a thousand dollnrsvi as that aiI?'
What "A dHmuabie attempt! Send

not failed me entirely. French must
be Indicted and tried for AN Il tempt

My trusty henchman WOulcott will
see to Incorporating sufficient hood
lums on the jury To ecu a convic-
ton. My flash" scribe, who | re-
gret to say is bankrupt in wealth and
morals and whose usefulness is nearly
gone, has IA world of hatred and ma.
liguity left against French since the
latter punched him in the snuOt, and
he will fill the newspapers with his
spiteful venom, green envy, and cor
sican revenge.
The order was given, and French
was indicted accordingly!
But the best laid plans of mice and
men ''aft gang agley." The little
man was "trausposed from the scene
of his scheme 10 another field where
he makes himself equally as. useful
rs he did here. His dear Wulcott
was called down to Washington to |
walk into the Captains office and set
tie, and French Was tried by-weIl, q
jury of his peers. !

pose to submit his cause TO a jury ''or-
gunized to convict" while Wolcott
remained Marshal of this Territory.
