They We're "OnIy Tramps.'

Another tramp was run over on the
Western Division by train Nc. 8, last
Friday, and died at Evanston that
night from his injuries. Name UNI
known.
A tramp named Hugh Mckay, while
stealing a ride on the brake-beam of a
freight train, last Friday, when near
Point of Rocks Station, fell off, the
train running over and crushing his
right leg. He died while en- route to
Fort Steele for medical attendance. A
Coroner's inquest was held at Rawlins,
and the railroad company exonerated
from all blame. His parents reside at
No. 1G Catherine street, Glasgow, Scot
land. He had no relatives or %acquaint-
ances in this country. Eek.

Awful AllIuators.

The Denver Pacific express Of Sunday
brought up a pair of alligators captured
in the sunny South and consigned to
Salt Lake parties. They were confined
in a box which was about ten feet long
and five or six feet wide, the birds"
lying side by side in the box, which was
covered with Stats nailed on about four
inches apart. After the box had been
placed in the U. p. express car several
train men gathered around and a slat
was raised in the center so as to have a
little fun with the birds" When
punched with sticks they would open
their ugly jaws wide enough to take in
a mans head, and close them with a
crack that made the spectators blood
run cold, at the same time whacking
the box with their tails till the car fair
ly rang with the noise. When they
first opened their mouths six able-bodied
~railroaders started up town, while the
messenger closed his door and clambered
to the roof of the car, but after peeping
through a crack and finding that the
box was still intact he called the boys
back, and they resumed their inspection
until the train left.

He Didn't Desert.

A week or two ago a general SER
vice" man named Butler, who, for sew
eral months has been filling the posi-
tion of orderly for Gen. Crook, but who
was left behind when Crook went north
with Sheridan, was ordered to come
from Fort Laramie to Cheyenne with
Gen. Crooks ambulance, and was to
ride n of the Generals horses down.
The ambulance started out, and was
four days on the road, but the driver
saw nothing of Butler. Not arriving
here within a day or two after
the ambulance, Capt. Payne, then in
command at Russell, telegraphed to
Laramie to learn where the missing
man was, but could hear nothing of
Butler. A day or two after this Capt.
Payne was %astonished by the receipt
of a telegram from Hillsdale, 20 miles
east of here, signed by Butler, saying
that he had arrived there and would
come up to Russell Immediately.
1t seems that after Butler left Fort
Laramie he stopped at some ranch and
got drunk. Then he procured a bottle
of whisky and kept on drinking; so that
he wandered off the road and was lost
until he reached the railroad. Some
think that he intended to desert, but
changed his mind, and this opinion is
strengthened by the fact that he had a
fine horse and outfit, and also an ele-
giant rifle which belongs to General
Sheridan.

TEMPERANCE TALK.
The Murphy Tidal Wave EnguiRng chey.
enne-Last Nights Meeting.

A darkey b%ell-ringer and a literally
distributed handful gave notice to our
people yesterday evening of the arrival
of G. s. Allen, a disciple of Murphy,
the great temperance reformer, and the
fact that he would address the people
on the subject Of Temperance at the
NJ. E. churchin the evening. Some
smiled, others joked about the matter,
but for all that the church was crowded
with a select audience, and the remarks
of Mr.. Allen were received with the
closest attention.
Although not a finished OF ever a
pleasing speaker, Allen shows earnest
ness in every movement and utterance,
and is thoroughly devoted to his work.
One point in his address vas particu-
larry well made. lie said: "When 1
heard the church bell ringing tonight
for this meeting L felt sorrowful, be-
cause it was ringing so slowly. 1
thought that il a tumble-down stable
in which was confined a bucking bron-
cho should take fire, all the bells in the
city would be rapidly changing in a
minute, and all the people in town
would be running, some to put out the
fire and the rest to see it. But here,
where hundreds of men are daily and
hourly burning themselves up with
something far worse than ordinary fire,
and when their own lives and the hap
piness of their families is at stake,
when a meeting is called to take mea-
sures to avert the awful danger, the
bells toll slowly and people nov tow
ard the place of rescue in the most
deliberate manner.n
The speakers remarks were lengthy,
highly interesting and convincing. He
was followed by others, whose remarks
WI are compelled to omit for lack of
space, and the Arion Quartette aided
the good work by singing appropriate
songs in their usual excellent manner.
After the meeting sixty-two persons
went forward, signed the pledge and
donned the blue ribbon of Murphyism.
