of the man who suicided in the Stanff I'd
House, on Fourth Street, Thursday, acd

ging that no attempt be made to ascer-
tain his identity has been finally iden,i.
fed as no other than Professor Blake,
the mind reader. who became pretty gen.
orally known in this vicinity during his
short stay here. Blake evidently went
to the Stanford House for the purpose of
committing suicide. He had been in i'll
health lately and this had induced the
practice of taking opium to deaden sensi-
bility. It is probable he was led to COM
nit the fatal act by mental excitement
which the drug causes, and by anxiety
produced by etraitened circumstances in
which be had recently been. Professor
Blake was well-known in the East and
his skill in what is termed mind reading
attracted wide attention. He came to
this coast three months ago. He leaves
wife and several children in the east.

Schmehl to walk five hundred miles for

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-08-30

A correspondent writing from Gen.
Terry's camp, under date of August 9Th,
says:
The villainy of human nature contin-
ues to crop out. Yesterday a gentle
man told me that this spring he count
ed over 100 Red River carts outside of q
certain Missouri River Indian Agency,
which had brought over from Manitoba
repeating rifles and fixed ammunition to
trade to the Sioux. And to-day Gen.
John Gibbon sends an official letter to
one 7. c. Power, a trader at Fort Ben.
ton, on the same subject. A messen-
ger comes to Gen. Gibbon with positive
information that Power has lately re.
ceived 1S0, 700 rounds of fixed ammuni-
ton, and that it is being sent to the in.
terror of Montana, evidently for sale OF
barter to hostiles. Gen. Gibbon mott.
ties Power that If he disposes of one
round to an Indian he does so at the
peril of his life.
Gen. Terry informs me that on three
occasions since he has commanded the
department of Dakota he has recon-
mended to the War Office the disarming
of oil Indians of breech-loading guns
and fixed ammunition. It is an ad.
mirable suggestion, and if carried out
would effectually stop hostilities. In.
dams, says Gen. Terry, have lost the
cunning of the bow and arrow, and
need guns for hunting purposes, but a
muzzle-loader is as serviceable in killing
game as a breech-loader. Had Sitting
Bulls band been armed with muzzle-
leaders the disaster to Custer and the
Seventh Cavalry v could have have
happened. To this opinion Gen. Bris.
bin adds auother-that of taking Their
ponies away from them; dismount q
hostile Sioux and he IL worthless as a
warrior.

Shoot EN- on the Spot.


There IL a gang of a dozen or more
degraded fellows who have for a week
or two been committing petty thefts in
various portions of the city, and we
hear of numerous attempts to enter
houses nearly every day. These chaps
tramp about town during the day beg
ging food, etc., their main object being
to post themselves concerning weak
door and window ~fasteDings. They
seem to know by intuition just how
each citizen is employed and his hours
at home, SO that they almost invariably
strike a house when the'men are away.
Nearly all our married ladies know how
to use the pistol. and as they always
have these weapons at hand, we suggest
that they use them. A little judicious
shooting would end these depredations.
In this connection we also suggest
that the marshal instruct his force to
patrol the more thickiy settled portions
of the city as much and as often as
possible. They will find bad characters
prowling about private residences at
ali hours Of the night and might easily
prevent many burglaries. Bullets are
too good for the sneaking hyenas.

McDanisl's New Variety Theatre.

w Doubt If any Theatre In the eoun-
try presents a more pleasing entertain
ment than can be witnessed nightly at
McDaniel's New Variety Theatre. This
establishment is just what it claims to
be, a variety theatre in every sense of
the word. Dramatic, minstrel, aero
batie, and vocal selections constitute
the programme nightly. The company
now performing is a very strong one.
Mile. Cerito, the wonderful transfer
nation dancer, now in her 18th week,
continues to enchant the audiences
nightly.
The latest arrival is Miss Fannie
Garrettson, one of the finest vocalists
that we have ever listened to. She
appears every evening in selections of
the newest songs.
Among the companyare Mile. Aubrey,
an elegant danseuse and fine actress;
Miss Maggie Louise, a charming little
song and dance and jig artist; Miss
Clara Newell, vocalist; Miss Ella Mar
tell, in character songs; Miss Nellie
Blanchard, a vocalist of rare ability.
The list of the gentlemen include Mr..
Jas. NJ. Martin, comedian; Mr.. Walter
Parks and Mr.. George Summerfeld,
also comedians Of rare merit. The
orchestra is under the able direction OF
Nj. Jas. OIlerenshaw.
McDaniels is always bound to have
the best. Ladies of acknowledged tai
emit are always sure of engagements.
We have to thank Nj. McDaniels for
the splendid concert his excellent Silver
Cornet Band furnishes our citizens
nightly-free of charge.
McDaniels' New Dramatic Theatre
is now open for dramatic, operatic,
minstrel or other entertainments. This
is n of the neatest and most commo-
dious theatres in the west. First class
entertainments will be played either on
a certainty or on shares. Cheyenne il
without doubt the best show town OF
its size in the Union, and the immense
immigration to the Black Hills gold
mines will make it a gold mine to q
w~ide-awake manager like McDaniels.

The Chicago Times of Sunday last
contains a poem written by Mrs, Hattie
E. Sancomb, of Golden, Colorado,
and dedicated to VIM. N. Byers,
proprietor of the Denver News. 1t is a
terrible arraignment of that adulterous
wretch, and pours out in thrilling and
graphic language the deep woe and
heart-burnings of the soul led to infamy
through the artful wiles Of the bank
rupt Byers. The fair but fallen woman
writes like a Poe, and her poem will
be widely read and thoroughly appre-
ciated.

John G. Abbott, who lives on the
Poudre, in the edge of Liramer coun
ty, Colorado, has a very fine yield OF
wheat this season. 1t is estimated that
he will have between 1000 and 5000
bushels, some of which is winter wheat.
1t is probable that last Tuesday Mr..
Abbott accomplished the greatest feat
of the season. With a fire new ma
chine, ten horses, and eighteen men, he
threshed out 1000 bushels. The men
took up so bushels of shattered wheat
from the three wagon boxes in use one
day.

There is a little mystery attending
the abandonment Of o six-mule team
and wagons near Evans, Colorado. The
animals had been seen in the grove
for three weeks, and were at length ta-
ken possession of by Sheriff Wyatt.
A dog was still watching the property.
A -four sack and an envelope seemed to
indicate that the party had QUILTED at
Yankton. Perhaps the team was stolen
and abandoned at Evans.

The Indian campaign %. Ended.

Adjutant General Drum stated Mon
day that no further intelligence had
been received from the Indian expedi-
ton. The statement that the campaign
is practically at an end, is characterized
by him as unwarranted. The army
will keep on the track of fugitive In
dams as long as the weather permits,
and it is hoped that decisive blow will
be struck before winter sets in. The
troops will camp at an advanced posi-.
ton during the SEVERE weather.
