Ty until the clouds uf adversely
passed away and a brighter day
dawncd upon Wyoming, was there
also. To these select and extra
choice spirits Corey unbospIned him
self. He poured out his plants and
SORROWS in a resistless torrent, until
the little man and the big man stood
mute with astnnishment. He
reached the coal land case in question
in his narration, surmi~ed correctly
that GenerrI Cotton had unearthed
the dCXterOUs dealings of II certain
person with the witnesses of the
Rocky Mountain Coal Company du-
ring ine taking of he testimony be-
fore the Register and Receiver, and
IL was suggested that some ugly dnc-
umrnis were filed by that gentleman
in Washington which in some way
compromised the names Of our Land
Officers. Bishop AmeS, of New
England, and Senator Booth, of Gail
ifurnia, were credited with wardiug
of the blow that wRs about To des-
cend on the back of WinsOr's official
neck. Then Corey told the plain un-
vanished truth about how his Off
cial integrity and rectitudr, rs well
Us TINT OF Samuel II. Winsor, had
been sUrely tempted by the seductive

My trusty henchman WOolcOtt will
see to incorporating sufficient hood

ton. My ''dnSh" scribe, who | re-
greet to say ia bankrupt in wealth and
morals and whose usefulness is nearly
gone, has II world of hatred and ma
iignity lett against French since the
latter punched him in the snOOt, 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 ngiey." The little
man was trdnSpuscd from the scene
of his scheme tu another field where
he makes himself equally as useful
as he did here. His dear Wulcott
was called down To Washington TO
sulk into the Captains office and set
! IL, and French was tried by-well, q
jury of his peers.
For the benefit of those papers in
Omaha, Denver and Laramie, who

A Jury of the best men i'll Cheyenne

illustrate the act, aud after -four days
patient investigation it acquitted him
10y its verdict of mot guilty. in less
than half all hour after leaving the
jury box.
The few remaining members of the
/ old corrupt Wyoming ring remain
unvindicated at Washington, and may
be, there will be more rumblings of a
