The Citizens. Nominees.


The two gentlemen nominated for
City Trustees by the Citizens meeting,
last evening, are well known to all the
voters of the city.
Mr.. Leighton has been connected
with several hotel enterprises in Chey-
enne, has managed all with zeal and
ability, and is at present the owner of
one of u best hotels, the "Metropoli-
tan" He knows how to keep a hotel,
hence his qualifications for city trustee
cannot be questioned.
Mr.. Gueck came to Cheyenne several
years ago from Colorado, where he had
been engaged in publishing a news
paper. He soon established himself in
business here and, meeting with fair
success, acquired considerable property.
He is, like all other property holders of
Cheyenne, interested in the growth and
development of the Magic City, and,
being intelligent, and a good manager
of his own affairs, will make an excel
lent trustee. By genial manner and
an upright intercourse with his fellow
men, Mr.. Gueck has won the respect
of the citizens of Cheyenne, a large
majority of whom will vote for him
next Monday.

Among the large number of Ameri-
can and Swiss watches on exhibition at
Joslin & Parks, there are many rich
and costly time pieces, which can only
be purchased by the wealthy; but we
want to call the attention. of our read
ers to a sterling silver watch sold by
that firm for the low price of fifteen
dollars. The watch is appropriately
named the LEADER, which title is en-
graved on the works, and is manufac-
tured by the celebrated Elgin Watch
company. Those who cannot afford an
expensive gold watch, will find in this
fifteen dollar, solid silver Elgin watch a
valuable and desirable time-keeper,
which will make auseful holiday pres
ent.

AS U. p. freight No. 6 was leaving
Laramie, Thursday night, Thomas Ry-
an, a private of Co. B, I'd cavalry, got
in between two freight cars, to steal a
ride to Fort Sanders. Just before
reaching the Fort, Ryan, who was ine-
briated, lost his footing, or his grip, or
both. He fell upon the track and the
cruel wheels crushed life out of him i'm
mediately.
Ryan enlisted at Buffalo, N. Y, Nov.

Fort Sanders Friday.

A KANSAS PACIFIC PASSENGER
TRAIN BURNED.
The Express Messenger Kilied-Loss Of
Much Mali and Express Matter.

Last Thursday morning a serious ac-
cident occurred TO the eastern bound
passenger train on the Kansas Pacific
road, which left Denver Wednesday
morning. The location Of the accident
was about four miles east Of Hayes.
The following is the substance of a dis
patch sent to Col Fisher by John D.
Perry, who was on the train:
Between Hayes and Victoria, bridge
No. 113 gave way, letting the mail, ex-
press and one passenger car through.
The engine had passed over, and the
sleeper had not reached the bridge, and
was detached and run back.
The express car caught ire at once,
and the fire at once communicated it.
self to the train and bridge, and with
in twenty minutes the two passenger
cars, the baggage, mail and express
cars, with the bridge, We're a mass of
flames. The passengers all escaped with
out injury. Mr.. Webster, the express
messenger, is supposed to have been
killed when the car fell. No other SER
ious personal injuries were inflicted.
The accident was caused by the break
ing Of the axle of the rear truck of the
tender, which caused the truckito fall,
tearing the timbers of the bridge so
that the bents separated.
Hayes is $50 miles from Denver, and
as the accident occurred four miles be-
yond that place, it took place 354 miles
east Of that city and 276 miles this side
of Kansas City. Victoria is the place
at which the trains going east and west
pass each other, and the western bound
train, due in Denver Thursday. was de-
layed, as well as the burned one.
1t is difficult to conceive how all the
passengers escaped unhurt. The acct
dent occurring at night, and SO late
must have found them all asleep, and
surely created surprise and consterna-
ton. The whole train, with the excep-
ton of the sleeper, was burned, and all
were destroyed in twenty minutes. The
expressman, Webster, who was killed,
was a resident of Kansas City, and was
unmarried. He had been an employe
of the road for many years, and was Fe-
garded as a faithful man. La i
1t is difficult to estimate the loss oc-
casioned. The four Ears burned were
worth about sl2, 900. The mails, bag
gage and express were also completely
destroyed, and there is no estimating
the loss thus occasioned. 1t is impossi-
BILE to obtain a statemement of the val
ue of the express matter aboard, as the
express company does not make such
matters public. 1t is quite certain, how
ever, that it was not as great a it
would have been if the train had been
coming westward, unless, indeed, there
was a quantity of bullion aboard, as
there often is. The time being just be-
fore the beginning Of the holidays, the
mail was heavier than usual. The
postofice department estimates that
there were three thousand letters aboard,
and what of Christmas presents these
contained is not to be told.

Holiday Presents.

Messrs. Joslin & Park have at their
palace of jewels an immense array of
beautiful holiday gifts, among which
we may mention silver and plated ware
of new designs, diamonds superbly
mounted, necklaces with pendants,
chaste and elegant, splendid cameo sets,
French and travelling clocks, the latter
with bells attached, which sound like
distant church bells. Any of the above
will make desirable and acceptable
Christmas presents.

The Storm and the Trains.

The terrible storm which began early
yesterday morning was general, extend
ing from Green River, Wyo., to North
Platte, Neb., 555 miles, and from Fort
Fetterman, 1S5 miles northwest of here,
southwark into Colorado an as yet un-
known distance. The wind has drifted
the snow badly.
Trains from the west will probably be
late to-day but trains from the east will
be but little, if any, behind time.

The Reported Massacre of Major Randall


We sincerely hope that the news pub
lished this morning of the massacre Of
Captain George NJ. Randall, 23d infan-
try and his band Of Crow scouts, may
turn out TO be untrue. But there are
SOM facts connected with his move
ments that lead US to fear that disaster
may have befallen him. Captain Ran
dali was sent by General Crook to Fort
Ellis, Montana, sometime in October,
TO go thence to the Crow Agency and
endeavor to enlist several hundred of
these Indians as allies against the
Sioux. If successful, he wa to march
across the country from Montana, and
join General Crooks expedition at or
near old Fort Reno. He wa success
full in enlisting between two and three
hundred Crows, at last accounts, and
expected to start with them across the
country to join the expedition. This
was several weeks ago.
Meantime a large number of hostile
Indians had gone in west of the Big
Horn mountains, and were right in the
path to be traversed by Major Randall
and his party. If he has encountered
these Indians, the report published to-
day is very likely to be verified.
Major Randall is an officer of splen-
did reputation. He was with General
Crook in Arizona, and vas recommend
&c for brigadier general by brevet, for
gallant service in the campaign against
the Apaches. He commanded the Snake
Indians under General Crook during
the summer campaign north in this ter
ritory, and especially distinguished
himself at the battle of the Rosebud.
He was appointed I'd lieutenant
Fourth infantry, from Philadelphia
October oath, 1861; promoted to Isl
; lieutenant on the 9th of November
1862, and to captain June 23d, 1865
and transferred to the 23d infantr,
January LIST, 1871. He was appointed
major 14th New York artillery Angus
10th, 1864, and lieutenant colonel sam
regiment on the LIST of January, 1865
and had won several brevets for gallan
conduct at Cold Harbor, WILDERNESS
and other battles of the Peninsular cam
paign of 1864.
: We hope to hear the rumor of thi
gallant officers death soon contradicte,
by his arrival at old Fort Reno safe an,
sound.
