The NORTHERN PAoIrlc RAILROAD
MIR Jay Cooke is reported to be just
as cQufident as ever of the future sue
cess of the railroad which swallowed
up his great torture and brought him
to bankruptcy. He says it now occs-
pies the proudest position of any road
in the country, being entirely free from
debt. its bonds having all been CONVEX
ted into preferred stock. Both ends of
the road earn monthly surplus over
running expenses Of about $50 900.
The value of the Company's land
grant, Mr.. Cooke sayA is far greater
than even the Directors themselves
imagine. The completion Of the last
800 miles Of track in Dakota gave the
Company 100000 acres more thar sfs
contained in the whole State Of Massa-
chusetts. The reservation Of the al
ternate sections belonging to the Gov
ernment for actual settlers in tracts of
80 acres; or 100 to soldiers, enables
the Company to virtually offer the set
tiers who buys a farm of it another
farm adjoining as a tree gift. The set
tiers who buys 50 acres from the COM
pany has only to build his house on the
adjoining 80 acres to own the whole
100 If he was soldier he gets $50
acres by the same process. Mr.. Cooke
argues that the strict provisions of the
law to prevent spectators getting pos-
session Of anJ land within the limit al
the grant will eventually resnlt il
thickly populating the region through
which the Northern Pacific runs, and.
as result, will produce ! large losal
business for the road.

MOultOn vs.. Beecher.

Mr.. Frauk Moulton yesterday n
stltuted, through his counsel. Gen
Roger A. Pryor, civil suit in the Su.
preme Court, Brooklyn. for $50, 900
damages against Henry Ward Beech
er. The paper was served on Mr..
Beecher personally at bis residence
last evening by clerk of Gen. Pry-
or's The complaint sets forth the
cause of action as malicious prosecu
ton Of Mr.. Moulton by Mr.. Beecher,
the specification being that on Octo-
ber Sd, 1874. he procured Mr.. Moul-
tons Indictment on a charge of orimi-
nal libel, aud pressed the suit 80 Tar as
to have him arrested and held to
bail. Mr.. Winslow was then the dis
trict Attorney, and was succeeded by
Mr.. Brlton Further the specification
shows thas on October the 22d, 1875,
Mr. Brton being then district attorney
entered a nol2e prosequi, against the
expressed wish of Mr.. Moulton.
Only single question will be at
issue in the coming suit. This will
be the truti or falsi,y of Mr.. Moulton's 8
alegat on that Mr.. Beecber had COM
mitted adultery with Mrs. Tilton.
For the determination of this thing
Mrs. Tllton will be vital witness, and
will certainly be called, as well as
number OF others whose testimony Was
excluded on the great trial On the
other hand the question of Mrs. 1S.-
tons character not being in any way
at issue, the testimony of a large mum
ber of the witnesses produced at the
9Tilton-Beecher trial will not be com.
petent. The trial will therefore be a
brief one, and it is anticipated thati
will not occupy over two weeks time.
The case coming on in the Supreme
Court 10 Brook lyn, it will be tried by
either Judge Barnard. Judge Gilbert,
Jud g Pratt, they being the judges Of
that Court. Il would have been
brought in court in New. York city
bur for the fact that the courts here
are so full Of business that il would be
probably two years before the caste
would be reached on the calendar,
where's it will DOW probably come to
trial within two months, or at all events
by the early part of March, which, ss
Mr.. Moulfon's object in the suit il a
speedy vindication of bis character, is
considered desirable. Il IL stated to
be entirely: within the option Of the
plaintiff to retort ID kind on Mr..
Beecher, by having him arrested and
held to bail, but Mr.. Moulton has de
termined to waive this right
The papers in the case we're sworn
to yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Moui-
ton and served on Mr.. Beecher, BY
shortly before Z o'clock last evening
so that when he went to the meeting
at Plymouth Church, he carried with
him knowledge of the case, which was
not. however. impaired to the Church.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-10-04


Edwin Booth is proverbially opposed
to having his private trumpet blown,
but a little incident of bis recent over
land trip is too good to be lost. 1t seems
that in the same parlor car with the
tragedian and his family was a lady
more remarkable for the loudness of
her style than for her refinement. She
repeatedly stated that she would give q
hundred dollars to kiss Booth. At
Omaha a poor emigrant attracted the
attention Of thetravelers as they return
ed to the car after dinner He had
started for California, but had been
robbed while asleep. Booths eyes fell
upon his gorgeous admirer, who was
standing near. He went up abruptly
to her and asked : ibid you say you
would give hundred dollars to kiss
me9" She replied, 81 did, . and open
ed a purse defiantly. He passed his
arm around her neck and, giving her a
sounding smack, held his hand out for
the fee. This was given. Booth wheeled
around and forced it into the emigrant's
hand.

The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
is quite pleased over the result Of the
labors performed by the commission in
treating with the bands OF Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail for the removal of
their tribes TO the Indian Territory
finally and to the Missouri river now,
preparatory TO SO doing. Red Cloud is
said to have been for some time willing
to complete the treaty stipulations and
the Indian Department gives him credit
for more shrewdness than is possessed
by Spotted Tail. The officials feel san
guine that the treaty thus secured will
be complete in accomplishing all that
the government desires eventually, and
thatit will be faithfully carried out by
the Indians to that end. Others, who
know the Indians OF old, think that
1t VIII not amount to anything except
to enable the Indians to gain time and
hoodwink the government as heretofore.
There are no binding obligations to the
Indian in a treaty now, and his ordi-
nary custom Of fulfilling an agreement
which, to some extent, he is punctilious
about, is apt to be departed from now
a-days when dealing with the United
States.
AT the Bureau Of Indian Affairs 1t is
believed that the hostiles under Sitting
Bull have all gone up into the British

UGLY UTES.
A Serious Outbreak Threatened in South
western Colorado.

~ y
For the past four years the Ute Indi-
ans of Southwestern Colorado. of whom
Ure is chief, have been restless and
anxious TO take the warpatf, ostensibly
on account of the occupation of the
SAN Juan mining region by whites. In
1873 a delegation Of leading chiefs of
the tribe went to Washington and con-
summared a treaty ceding that rich
mining region to the United States.
The Indians have since been removed
TO their new reservation and the loca-
ton OF their agency changed.
In the fall of 1874 a wagon road was
laid out from Saguache, a town on the
edge of the San Luis valley, over the
main range and into the mines For a
distance of eight or ten miles this road
runs through and over a corner Of the
new reservation, and the disaffected
Utes, under the special instigation of
Chavano, their w~ar-chief,, and Guero, a
chief of lesser note, have been grum-
bling and threatening, and an outbreak
has been constantly apprehended. Ure,
however, has exercised good judgment,
and his control over the headstrong
braves has been maintained up to the
present year, but recent advices show
that his influence has been lessened by
the ~unceasing efforts of the unruly
chiefs, and an outbreak has probably
occurred ere this. r
On Monday last, Gov. Routt, Of Col
orado, received a dispatch from Sheriff
Giles, of Ia Plata county, located in
the extreme southwestern portion of
the state, informing him that trouble
was expected Immediately and asking
aid. This was followed by a dispatch
from Col. Hatch, commanding the Dis
trict of New Mexico, stating that
trouble was apprehended and that the
settlers had applied to him for arms.
Gov. Routt Immediately telegraphed
to Gen. Pope at Leavenworth, asking
that arms be issued to the miners, but
Pope answered that there were troops
enough in close proximity to the scene
Of the expected trouble to quell an out
break and that the President alone
could give authority to issue arms. Gov.
Routt has ordered the militia organixa-
tons Of the state to be in readiness to
march at an hours notice, and if the
outbreak occurs it will be speedily
quelled, without doubt.
We do not apprehend a general up
rising Of the Utes, as the disconnected
ones number probably less than one
thousand, and IRE is still able to con-
troll the greater portion of the tribe, but
if it happen that the Ute nation should
act unitedly in an aggressive movement
upon the whites, a war Of no less mag
nitude and Importance than the pres
ent Sioux war would be upon us. The
Utes are inferior to the Sioux only in
stature, and a general war with them
would be marked by the most awful
and ferocious atrocities ever yet record
ed in our history.

On Saturday last the Red Stockings
received a letter from D. C. Winters,

asking an early opportunity to meet
~ boys. An answer was returned the
sams night and the time and place set
for Friday next on the grounds in this
city. At this writing the Union club
has not responded, but an answer is ex-
pected to-day.
The Trinidad boys say that they have
plenty Of money and will put upmore than
the amount named if the Reds are will
ing. They can get all the bets they
want, and we advise them to purchase
round-trip tickets, a. otherwise they
will be compelled to walk home at the
conclusion Of the game. Colorado can
not raise nine men who can defeat the
Red Stockings as at present organized.
