The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-10-21

"Mr Corlett is certain of being elect
ed even if he sits quietly in his Office
from now until election day, u was the
remark of a leading Democrat of this
city yesterday. This is the prevailing
opinion all over the Territory. Several
well-posted Democrats who arrived
here yesterday from Evanston state
that the few friends of Steele are des-
pondent and have no hope of electing
Pretty Billy. He has lost his grip, and
will be 50 badly defeated that his foot
will never again press the soil of Wyo-
ming.
Our silver-tongued Bill holds a high
place in the hearts of all the people of
Wyoming, and will triumphantly
the Hellespont of Democracy, to an
Choir safely on the Republican shore in
the halls of Congress. We have already
written a very pathetic dirge, which
will be published when the political fu-
neral cortege of the carpet bag candidate
for delegate boards the whisky-logged
Democratic craft which will soon set
sail for the headwaters of Salt river.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-10-21
Colorado Cream.

In Greeley people drive up to the coal
cars, unload the cars, and no one knows
who does it.
The Secretary Of State has received
returns from all the counties except La
Plata and Jefferson. The official can
vass will be made on the 2Sth inst.
The Rio Grande road finds itself in
the very agreeable position of having
more freight than it can conveniently
handle. The stock alone now awaiting
shipment will more than fill all the
stock cars on the road.
Aman named c. F. jackson was killed
in the Rio Grande shops, in Denver,
Wednesday afternoon. He was in the
rear of a large planer, directly in a line
with a board which was being run
through the machine, to which his back
was turned, and before he knew his
danger the end of the board caught him
in the small of the back, and crushed
him against the. wall. He fingered in
intense agony all night, and died the
next morning.

How Custer was Killed.

Mr.. Angus Macdonald, of Colville,
British Columbia, has arrived at Vic
toria from a tour in Northern Montana
and the Rocky Mountains. He says
that much smouldering excitement pre-
walls in the minds of interior Indians
concerning the Sioux war. The Sioux
had reported to their camps that. they
had killed since the war began up to the
middle of July 400 DE- 500 men. Big
Rain was the Chief who killed Gen.
Custer, but his body was not mangled
because he vas clad in a hunters leath-
ern suit, whence they took him to be
some brave accidental stranger out with
the troops. While Gen. Custer was
running his second man through the
body with his sword he was shot by Big
Rain, the Sioux chief, in the head.

Return of Buffalo.

Immense herds of buffalo have been
seen within eighty miles of the Red
River, after ten years of total absence.
From all accounts the herds are migrat-
ing eastward. The Sioux Indians re-
siding at DEVILS Lake, in Dakota, have
already been on a great hunt, and have
returned to their homes with an abun-
dance of buffalo meat and numbers OF
robes. Travellers from the Northwest,
who have lately come into Winnipeg,
report very large numbers of buffalo
very much further east than heretofore.
We urge the Importance of Legislation
to prevent their wanton determination.

Desertcrs Arrested.

Officer Sherman, of the Denver police
force, arrested two deserters Wednes-
day evening, named j. s. Moore and
Joseph Simpson. They were recently
enlisted and were Ell route to the Fifth
Cavalry when they deserted at Fort
Russell, about the LIST instant. Sheriff
Wyatt, Of Weld, thinks these are the
parties who went through several
houses in Greeley the Saturday night
preceding election, when so many OF
the people were in Denver at the sol
diers' reunion.

Montana Apples.

The Helena Herald says: r. N.
Sutherlin, editor of the Husbandman,
who has been ~canvassing for his paper
in Missouia county, returned last night.
Mr.. Sutherlin, while absent, went
through Bitter Root valley, and reports
the crops looking fine and the prospects
for a good harvest f~lattering. He
brought us a fine ripe apple from the
orchard of Benjamin Harris, who has
raised twelve bushels this season. He
said he saw a number of other orchards
that look equally well, and is of the
opinion that Bitter Root valley will
prove to be a good fruit-growing coun-
try.

Getting Desperate.

The Chronicle, the organ of Colonel
Steele, has managed, with the aid of
its Cheyenne editor, to work itself into
a white heat ove the impending de-
feat of its candidate for Congress. We
would advise our friend Bramel, sinde
he is to leave the Territory for Texas
soon after election, to keep cool; the
campaign is to last another fortnight,
and lie ought to save his ammunition.
At any rate, not being a candidate him
self, not having a hankering for the
Laramie p~ostofice in a certain con
t%ingency, he is not particularly inter-
ested in the result in this Territory.
This is simply using Bramel's argument.
The people evidently prefer Mr., Cor
lett to Mr.. Steele as a representative in
the next Congress, and the Chronicles
undetermined attacks will not prevent
Mr.. Corlett's election. The more Bram-
ell and his confreres writhe and curse,
the more votes they will make for s'our
candidate" Corlett's record cannot
be effectively assailed by men of Bram-
els stamp and character. His relations
with all the people of Wyoming with
whom he has come in contact during
the last nine years, have been most
honorable, and therefore he is to-day
beloved and respected by all without
regard to political affiliations.
The most 'life-like pen-picture" our
Laramie contemporary can draw of Mr..
Corlett, is a picture representing true
manhood, firmness of character, extra
ordinary ability and integrity, and
devotion to principles of right and JUS
tice to his fellow men,

Alone Bill Steele,

on in the Silly night Moore.
on In the Silly night. ere siGmber's ,haIn
hath bound hIpa,
BrsmeI the scribe. doth bale a. ise, and wrap
his robes around him;
For yet his Tears viii not be stayed. he still
sueeumbs 10 sorrow,
And sleepless, eomforless. he sits and serib-
bles for the morrow. ,
Thus In the Silly night. ere sIumber's chain
hath bound him,
He writes those wondrous diatsibes the
Chronic doth abound In;
And thus awake. while others sleep, away
from noise and racket,
He scrlbbles still, and doubtless giu, till
clothed In a straight jacket. 3
He says thatin the Silly night. with darkness
all about him,
Sweet Williams greatest light doth shine, and
with its glow surround him.
And this is why he ceaseless writes the things
ne does not feel,
For. s~ycophantic. Bramel sings alone about
Bill steele.

Bramel need not bother his head
about Corlett's being impoverished by
this candidacy for Congress. Corlett
does not spend money to elect himself
to Office. He might remain in his Office,
perfectly inactive, and still he would
be elected by an overwhelming MAORI
ty; but he proposes to talk to the people
of Wyoming during the next two weeks,
and he has an unlimited capital in that
line to back him.

Every business house in the city can
well afford to contribute from one hum
dred to three hundred dollars to a Black
Hills road fund. Such an opportunity
for investing small sums with certainty
of immense returns has never before
been offered to our business men.

Judge w. L. K~uykendall has taken
hold of the road question and is now
~agitating the formation of company of
our business men for the purpose of i'm
proving and shortening our route to the
Black Hills. The high confidence re-
posed in this gentleman, and his reputa-
tion for pushing everything he takes
hold of, lead us to hope that the impor-
tant enterprise will assume tangible
form and be carried through without
delay
