Messrs. Gilmer, Salisbury and
voorhees,, of the Cheyenne & Black
Hills Stage Co. arrived ut Deadwood
June Goth. In an interview with Il re-
porter for the Champion, Mr.. Gilmer
said that he had for some time past
anticipated the stage robberies that
have so recently and frequently occur
red on this route. lie las objected to
carrying any treasure, but his company
continued to take treasure as well us
passengers. Mr.. G.. says that these
robberies must be calculated on and an
ticipated in running IL stage line over 4
country SO sparsely settled and Offering
such temptations to desperate men. lie
says that these little incidents are mat
tiers that must in the very nature of
things occur where there is so much
treasure shipped. and that fact SO gen.
orally known. A company of troops to
patrol the road in the neighborho0d of
Hat creek has been sent out, and the
government is showing Il disposition to
protect this route from repetitions of
such raids as have recently occurred on
the route. The stage company carry
and are responsible for the treasure
stolen, the total of which, including
~passengers' losses, will not exceed
$4,000. They propose to carry passen-
gers and treasure az usual, and more
v er expect to land both hereafter safe
ly In Cheyenne.

The Fourth in Our Rural Towns.

Laramie had a genuine celebration,
which is pronounced II grand success
The getting up, and conduct of 1t to q
happy and pleasant conclusion, is due
to Henry Wagner, and u few hearty
supporters, who determined TO celebrate
at all events. and by their untiring
efforts, succeeded in furnishing Il days
pleasure that will not soon be forgotten
by the people. Not until Tuesday
morning was the idea of having 4 cele-
bration at home fully shaped. Sir.
Wagner at once had trees sent for to
the hills, lumber hauled to the ground,
an arbor, dancing platform, seats, nu-
sic and speakers stand erected. Con
Petitioners, soda manufacturers, and
vendors of other cooling refreshments,
built booths. and made everything COM
Portable for customers.
Over one Thousand persons were pres
ent, and listened att%entivrly to the
reading Of the Declaration and the
Grafton. Thanks to the energy of one
of Laramie's foremost city rs. the day
50 dear to every American l'ea!t was
duly observed in Laramie.
The Fourth in Green River was a
grand success. The booming of cannon
began at an early hour Tuesday even
ing, and has been kept up with but lit
tie intermission until the present mo-
ment. Not less than 10000 rounds
have been fired-mostly fire CRACKERS.

For the Simple Reason that He Was
Dead-Broke and Couldn't Raise
1 Dollar.

On Monday, June 25th, $. W. Jewell
and wife arrived In this city and stop
ped at Dyer's hotel. There was some
difficulty about obtaining board without
ready cash, and the next day the couple
repaired to the 1ntcr-Ocean, Jewell
telling Mr.. Ford that he lad lost some
$50 on the street, and would soon have
money from his friends to pay all his
bills. A brief, item In the papers Of
next morning announced that Mrs.
Jewell would deliver a lecture on spir-
itualism. The lecture was not given,
and since that time the pair have been
stopping at the hotel, waiting for re-
mittances.
Last night, however, Jewell grew
weary of waiting. He told his wife
that he would not eat another meal in
the Inter-O Ocean until he could pay for
it, and induced her to go to supper
alone, saying he would join her on the
balcony soon. Mrs. Jewell took her
tea and repaired to the balcony, where,
after waiting some time, she became
uneasy, and repaired to her room. The
door was locked, and s~upposing her
husband had gone out, she sent for the
clerk. He had not seen Jewell go out.
They peered through the keyhole and
saw something white on the floor; the
bell hoy was called, lifted to the
transom ove the door, and saw
Jewell lying on the floor, covered with
blood.
Tie door was burst open, and physi-
clans summoned, but although the man
was not dead his. wounds were fatal.
1t seems that after his wife left the
room he had written a long letter, after
which he placed a revolver against his
abdomen and discharged it three times,
the three bullets entering within an
inch or so Of each other. Jewell lived
about an hour and a half after he was
discovered.
At first sight 1t seems strange that
no n in the hotel heard the reports,
but the roo is some distance
from the head of the stairway
on the third floor and the small
callbre Of the weapon, together
with tho fact Of the door and transom
being closed, effectually confined the
noise. The window was open, how
ever, and 1t Glanced that Mr.. Ford's
daughter was riding past at the very
moment. She heard the shots, and
looked up, but seeing no excitement
about the hotel, supposed they had been
fred in some other locality, and rode on.
Jewell was about 81 years old; was
originally from Chicago, but came here
from California, where he married his
present wife some eighteen months
ago. He is said toshavs been we'll edu-
Gated and a very talented lawyer.
The coroner summoned q jury and
held IN inquest at once, the verdict of
the jury being that death was caused
by gunshot wounds from a pistol in the
hands of deceased. The body will be
held at the disposition Of JEWELS rela-
tives, who are understood to be wealthy.
Jewell's letter gave a full statement of
his reasons fer the act, etc.

Dangerous Fairgrounds.

The public streets r dangerous
Fairgrounds for small children. Last
Thursday a group were gamboling on
Hill street, near 18th, when a single
team came along, and 1t required the
most careful driving to avoid running
over some of the urchins. As it was,
after the main crowd was passed, g
very small boy ran into the middle of
the street, fell down, and the team
passed directly over the spot where he
lay, although luckily inficting nothing
more serious than a terrible fright.
The two gentlemen in the carriage
could not be blamed, as they used every
precaution to avoid an accident.
