Mayor Whipple, who worked hard
at the fire and directed the efforts of
the hrenIen from the roof OF Murrin's
building, met with a serious accident
after the fire was subdued. While the
iremeu were pulling the hose off the
building, the Mayor was caught in its
coils and pulled Off a ladder, falling
about ten feet TO the ground. He dis
located his left arm and suffered some
severe contusions; we are glad to
learn, however, that he is much better
this morning.

This mammoth combination, circus,
aud m~enagerie. which is to exhibit in
Cheyenne next Thursday July sth, is
without doubt. n of the most COM
plete in the world, and containing as
IL does animals from all portions of the
globe, purchased at a large expense
and transported thousands of miles,
should lie visited ly every one. The
Equestrian Troupe, composed of three
such leading stars rs Charles Fish,
Miss Mollie Brown and Romeo Sebas-
tian. cannot be ~equnlled by any estab-
lishment in this country or inEurope.
Fish has won laurels In almost every
country in Europe, and his fame as a
graceful. accomplished and daring
equestrian has become worldwide.
Miss Mollie Brown, a bright, intelli-
gent young lady, is the only n who
attempts somersaults while her horse
is circling around the ring. Sebastian
has improved so much in the last few
years that there is every indication
that he will some day rise to be the az
knowledged head of his profession.
Nat Austin, the great Shakesperian
clown, is the best ever seen within the
ring, and Mr.. Graham handles the
whip with dexterity and grace. The
acrobatic troupe is complete in every
particular, and the acts performed are
new and startling. A number of nov
elites are introduced, which are attrac-
tive and daring, and show the public
that there is a desire to please, instruct
and entertain.
The Menagerie contains among it's
many wonders q living Giraffe-the
only one which has aver been brought
to this Territory. In order to obtain
possession of this animal, Mr.. Queens
treasury was depleted to the extent OF
SIS 900. The baby lions are wonder
fully clever and cunning, and present
a very pretty picture gamboling
around in their cage; while themother
loo ks on; watching every movement.

The Fire Fiend Abroad.
A Fourth of July Long 10 be
Rem embcrcd.

About 8 O'Clock Sunday afternoon
our citizens were startled by the cries
of fire! On fastening to Eddy street,
whence the alarm was given, smoke
was discovered coming through the
second story windows of McDaniel's
Theatre. and soon the flames burst
forth and enveloped the whole struc-
ture, spreading rapidly to the adjoin-
ing buildings. Although no winds
prevailed and although the rains ofthe
past twenty-four hours had saturated
everything out doors, the labors of the
firemen seemed fruitless in opposing the
fire fiend and the stores of Mr.. S. H.
Wood, David MilIerandD Davenport were
consumed with lightning like rapidity.
Col. Murrin's wareroom, an the west
side of his new store, also caught fire
and was partially destroyed. The lat
ter and Mr.. Miller saved most of their
stock however.
Col. Murrin estimates his loss at two
thousand dollars. Our fire department
did heroic work and were nobly assis-
ted by Col. Reynolds ~fire-corps from
Fort Russell and the Babcock extin-
guisher from the Cheyenne Depot, sent
by Col. Moore ; both detachments ar
irving at the fire within a few minutes
after it started. Lieuts. Chase
and johnson from Fort Russell, in
command Of the Fort Russell COM
pany, did some very effective work
and to them and Col. Moore the
thanks Of our citizens are due, for pre-
venting a more extensive confagra-
ton.
The firemen and citizens, when they
realized the impossibility to save the
burning buildings. turned their atten-
ton to the opposite side Of Eddy street;
where Dyer's Hotel and Cassel
Taylor's block were in imminent dan
ger. The frame hotel building Of Mr..
t. Dyer seemed to be doomed, for at
one time the whole front was a mass
of flames; but the almost superhuman
efforts of the firemen, headed by
Sheriff O'Brien, subdued the fire
fiend and recovered Dyer's Hotel from
his fierce and deadly grasp; great
damage was done, however, to both
building and furniture by the fire and

Prot. McDaniels, whose friends are
legion, has the offer of any o Of
money, to aid him In erecting a sub
stantial brick theatre on Eddy Street.
We learn that he is making prepare
tions for building without delay. Thus,
Notwithstanding the serious losses, the
sufferers, full OF the same pluck that
has always characterized our people,
are bound to rebuild what the fire
has destroyed they are going to
work even before the ashes have
cooled and the smoke has disappeared.
For these people there is no such word
as fail :" they are bound to wrest
fortune from the tickle goddess.

The following letter from a known
and reliable gentleman, was received
at the LEADER office on Saturday last I:
FORT LARAMIE, July LIST, 1875.
Editor Cheyenne LEADER:
A party came from the Hills yester-
day bringing with them plenty Of
gold and also fine specimens Of quartz.
Mostly all the miners, to the number
of about two hundred, have left here
during the night and gone across the
Platte. There was wild excitement
among them when they saw the gold
and specimens brought in. General
Dodge is not trying to find put the
miners; therefore, / do not anticipate
any trouble from hat quarter. James
Sanders, from your town, is encamped
twelve miles from Gen. Dodge's head
quarters, in Custar's Park, and he has
not been molested. The party who
came in from the Hills also returned
last night. There are now over one
hundred miners camped. on Laramie
River, and some are leaving every
night. FRoNTIERsMAN.

The advertisement of Messrs Daw-
will be fouEd in another column.
These gentlemen are well known in
our community as experienced build
ers, besides they make it their especial
care to employ none but frst-class
workmen. Mr.. Halves, the junior
member Of the firm, is a thorough and
competent draughtsman, and is pre-
pared at all times to make estimates,
and draw plans and specifications FOR
any kind Of work in his line. Those
who expect to build should. give
them a trial and be convinced.

Tho celebrated Irish comedian
Joe Murphy, will appear tonight at
the Cheyenne Opera House, in the

pleasure of witnessing Mr.. Murphy in
a number of different characters, and
can say, without fear of contradiction,
that, as a comedian, no has no equal
upon the American stage. We feel
assured that he will be greeted with a
crowded house, and those who wish
to ecu desirable seats should go at
once to Hollis Book Store and secure
tickets in time.

-Ecoffey & Cuney's ranch, near
Fort Laramie, is getting to he the
rallying point and general headquar-
tiers Of the Black Hills miners. The
proprietors are making all possible
efforts to supply the miners with
everything they need, and the gold
dust is beginning to be plenty at their
place. They have the best camping
ground on the Laramie and provide
accommodations for all that may call
at their place. j6-w&d6t

The store OF Messrs. Marks & Myers

aged the heat breaking the glass in all
the front windows. Their losses arc
not serious.
Mr.. Mcdaniel had on hand a large stock
OF cigars and liquors; he lost almost
everything, as hid his employees. whose
theatrical ward-robes were all con-
sumed.
There are many conJectures In re-
gard to the origin of the fire it is
generally conceded. however, that fire
works caused the confiagration. as the
corner OF Seventeenth and Eddy street
had been a great resort for the boys,
who were taking their Fourth"
Messrs T. Dyer, Wood, Marks &

suffered by the fire, had insurance on
their stock and buildings, and will
probably be reimbursed for their losses.

vIyHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, n. G., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while tits confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers Is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentally broken at any 'time we can replace 1t at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, button account of its intrin-
sic merits as an article Of household economy, do
