The ..Assis.ant Conductor"

Oh, she was q ''way-up" Cheyenne
belle, of the very. first water" or
more; and she married a regular fine
haired ''swell," who clerked in q dry
goods store. And he clerked and he
clerked, till at last he fell into trouble
with some of the money; and they went
out west in Il way, folks tell, not par
ticularly funny. And after a time the
belle came home, the old folks for to see;
andthe neighborsasked ,whenthey found
she'd come, what her husbands biz
might be. "Oh, he's a railroad man
now," she said-"assistant conductor"
said she. But some n asked as he
shook his head, what the dickens that
might be. And then, with that high
old ''style'' of hers, she answered the
interrogation: HE assists in Stacking
the speed of the cars when the train
approaches a station"

Stabbed in the Shoulder.

For some time past q man named
Thomas has been employed by one
Clayton, a tie contractor on the Long
mont extension. a few days ago
Thomas quit work, and meeting Clay
ton yesterday asked him for his pay.
The men began settling, and Thomas
claimed fifty cents more than Clayton
thought was due. Clayton thereupon
drew a knife and rushed upon Thomas,
stabbing him in the left shoulder and
making an ugly wound.
Thomas came into the city last even-
ing for the double purpose of having
his wound dressed and swearing out 4
warrant against Clayton, who is a hare
customer. Only q few days ago hs
tried to ride his mule upon a man who
had given him some slight offense.

Nsyiqatina The South Platte.

The South Platte River has been sue
cessfully navigated from Denver to the
Missouri. Says the Evans Journal:
The Clifford brothers. the ''two rollick-
ing rovers," who started from Denver
last May for st. Joseph and a harbor,
and who brought up against, and went
down a wreck under the Evans bridge,
but with undaunted pluck hoisted sail
again and r~e-shipped for the mouth of
the Platte, have been heard from.
They, after many adventures and hair
breadth escapes, reached their destina-
ton, st. Joseph, Missouri. From that
point n of the two outfitted his boat
anew, and started alone down the Mis-
souri, for st. Louis about n month
ago. since which time his friends have
had no tidings from him. The other
brother left st. Joseph about the same
time overland for his former home,
Whitesboro N. Y, where he has ar
rived in safety. Certainly their name
is Pluck.

NOT A PERSONAL NATTER.

AS usual, when IL contemporaries
lack in argument, they try to create a
personal issue with the proprietor OF
THE LEADER, who, however, declines
to be turned aside from the pursuit of
a certain course he has mapped out for
himself. The Sun would fain make the
retrenchment campaign on the part of
THE LEADER a personal warfare upon
our present efficient county officers; but
it will fail in that also; we renewed our
efforts for retrenchment and reform,
with malice toward none, and charity
for ALL" and for the common welfare
of our people, and shall stick to our
work without regard to the many mis-
representations of the organs.

sLAcns MISREPRESENTATION.

Slack's ever prevailing desire to poul-
tice our county and city officials when-
ever he believes them hurt by illusions
Of THE LEADER, led him into an
egregious blunder, yesterday.
In order to enlighten him in regard
to u plan of retrenchment and to
convince him that it was not a ''new
hobby which we had straddled recent
ly," we furnished him with some ex-
tracts from the files of THE LEADER
of 1873, before Slack had moved here
from Laramie. In one of the articles
quoted, reference was made to county
officials-to the men in office and try
ing to get office in 1873.
Slack, v on the alert for a point
against THE LEADEB, goes out of his
way and makes it appear that the Ian
guage used in an editorial in 1873, ap-
plies to our present county officers. OF
course, he made an ass of himself, as
usual.
When occasion shall arise to criticise
our county officials, or any other Off
cials, for that matter, THE LEADER,
being an independent paper and no
body's ''organ," will do so without fear
or favor; no matter whether it may
please the organs, or no. Up to date
THE LEADER has had no cause for
finding fault with u present county
officers; they are efficient, worthy men,
who faithfully attend to their duties;
and it is needless for us to say, that in
our endeavors to bring about retrench-
ment in u county affairs, we are not
actuated by any personal feeling against
any one of them.

MILITARY. MATTERS.

A rumor has reached Fort Russell to
the effect that the five companies of the
Fifth Cavalry recently sent to the Big
Horn country or scouting duty have
been ordered back to this point. This
seems probable in view of the fact that
the three-company post being built at
Cantonment Reno is to be occupied by
three companies of the Third Cavalry.
Our valued correspondent 81. F. Co."
writing from Fort Steele, says: 1t is
rumored in official circles that the two
companies of the End Cavalry, land X,
are o to leave here for the new post
on the Big Horn river. Sometime
early in September they are supposed to
startfor their new position. X Co. is
still in Omaha but will return soon.
Immense quantities of hay are being
received and stacked at Camp Carlin.
This indicates that a large cavalry
force will be stationed at Fort Russell
this winter. Aboutten tons of old hay,
stacked at the Camp last fall, yet re-
mains.
The Second Cavalry has been ordered
to take the field in Idaho and Montana,
with the exception of two companies,
ore of which will remain at Camp
Stambaugh and the other at Camp.
Brown.
Three companies, G, G and NJ, Of the
Fifth Cavalry, passed through Omaha
Thursday. They were from Chicago
and destined for Fort Mcpherson.
Gen. E.-A. Carr was in command.
When the companies of the Fifth
Cavalry now in the field return here
they will be distributed among the
Wyoming posts-Hridger, Steele, San
ders and Russell.

The fact that the proprietor of THE
LEADER is not better off in this worlds
goods is not his fault. lie has been
compelled to keep up a daily newspaper
in Cheyenne in times when it tried
mems pockets as well as their souls to
attempt it. Everyone of THE LEADERS,
competitors from ''67 to II gave way
to hard times, and THE LEADER was
left single handed and alone to battle
for Cheyenne and Laramie county and
the development Of their u
To keep up a daily newspaper in these
years has cost money, much more than
our citizens realize, and much more
than was paid in patronage to the pro-
prietor of THE LEADER, who had to
contribute from 81, 500 to 1000 a year
HUN Hho pilNdlo lullu5 " Keep up u
daily newspaper for Cheyenne. During
all these weary years the ea-Secretary
and present Postmaster paid out his
money in building up Cheyenne and
Laramie county, while our present COM
petitors, who came here from Laramie
when THE LEADERS, efforts had
brought about better times, were hard
at work trying to pull down this city
and county.
Do u people wonder that the pro-
prietor of THE LEADER pays taxes
only on 81, 1000 worth of property? He
would gladly pay more, if he had the
property to back it. But we submit,
that the fact, that W pay only a small
amount of money into the city and
county treasury, should not be used as
an argument by the organs in favor Of
keeping up the present extravaganza
form of administering our local affairs.

THE L0NGM0NT EXTENSION.

Grading has not yet commenced at
the Longmont end of the line, harvest
not yet being over, and at the rate at
which grading is going on at this end,
it is doubtful whether it will be neces-
sary to commence at Longmont.
The Colorado Central people complain
that interested parties have been cir
culating in Chicago and elsewhere east
the report that nc work is being done
on the Colorado Central extension.
This canard was recently exploded,
however, byseveral eastern railroad men,
who visited Hazard, and walked several
miles over the new road.
There has been NJ delay whatever to
tracklaying by a of non-arrival Of
bridge timbers, or slowness of bridge
builders. THE LEADER has published
such statements once or twice hereto
fore, upon what it deemed the best au-
thority-that of President Loveland,
but we now have it from Gen. Jas. A.
Evans, who has been out on the road
constantly, both before and since its
inception, that all delays so far have
been caused by the ineficiency of the
grading force. J1 t
Down at Denver they have become so
alarmed about the Extension that the
papers circulate preposterous stories
concerning it. Fridays Times says:
From sixteen to eighteen miles of
track will be ironedib Saturday.
Thirty-six miles of the grade was
completed last night. This is nearly
half the distance from Cheyenne to
Longmont. .
Last Wednesday two and one-third
miles of track vas laid-one of the
largest days work of track laying ever
done in Colorado.
Mai. Evans states that the grade is
complete to a point only eighteen miles
south of Cheyenne, and that a little
less than ten miles of track had been
laid up to Saturday night.

him, on the 18th Sheriff Bradley Of
Lincoln county, Neb., acting under the
instructions of the mans employer.
wrote to Sheriff Nottage, of Laramie
City, giving a description of Hendre-
witch, and stating that he was known
to leave Fort Sanders for that city on
the 9th. Sheriff Nottage, finding that
the man had left Laramie before the
reception of Sheriff Bradley's letter,
telegraphed to Sheriff Dykins, of Green
River, to look out for the absconder.
On the 14th Sheriff Nottage received a
telegram from Sheriff Bradley to ar
rest the fellow, but of course could not
do so, as he had flown. Upon the re-
ceipt of Sheriff Nottage's telegram,
Sheriff Dykins, aware that such a
character had passed through Green
River, telegraphed to Sheriff Pepper, of
Evanston, to stop him; at the same
time arresting an assistant of Hendre-
wich's, who was still in Green River.
Thursday Sheriff Nottage received a

that he had the man, and would send
him down in charge of Marshal Sweesy,

Our Crack Shots.

There was another meeting Of some
of our wing shots at Major Talbot's
HALFWAY House yesterday afternoon,
and the only drawback to an exhibition
of fine shooting was the scarcity of
birds. Owing to the limited number
of pigeons on hand it was necessary to
limit the match to four birds each, and
in shooting off ties the sports were con-
fined to three shots each. The follow
ing score shows that the contest was
both close and creditable.

James Gregory, one of the wealthiest
cattle men on the North Platte, re-
Gently sold out to B. T. Ryan, of this
place, and goes to Missouri for a year
or two. Mr.. Gregory will not be at
home on a farm in a thickly settled
country, and it will not be long until
he will be hunting another home among
the rocky bluffs of Wyoming. "Old
Gregory" as he was Familiarity called,
is one Of that class of men who are sure
of friends, and who make their pres
enc a benefit as well as a pleasure to
any community. He can brand a steer
and tell a dry yarn at one and the same
time, and his latch string was always
out. His many friends in Wyoming
wish him success and a host of friends
in his new home.
Cadwells warm springs, some 27or
% miles up the river from here, are be-
coming quite popular, not only on ac-
count of their healing properties, but
a a resort for those seeking rest and
recreation. The accommodations are
limited as yet, still some fifty or sixty
people are there new and more are
going. A portion of them live in tents
and enjoy all the pleasures of camping
out.
Several very remarkable cures of

there within the last five or six months.

limb, whereas before he could not move
his hand, to say nothing of the pain he
