A SIashinq Runaway.

Ed Kinney Is the hero. He hitched
up his handsome black horse, yesterday
afternoon, and after calling at the resi-
dence Of MI. A. II. Reel and securing
q lady companion, drove out to the
post, coming back via Lake Mah-pi-ya-
luta. 1t seems that q bridge on the
old road has been removed since Kin
ney was there last, and he not noticing
this in the gathering gloom, drove right
into the ditch. The startled and almost
mired animal plunged out of the
deep mud and Kinney was thrown
from the buggy, losing IL line. He
hung on, however, and was dragged
some two hundred yards, when, seeing
that he could not stop the horse, he
told his companion to jump out. She
did so and Kinney let the horse go.
The young lady was quite severely
bruised, while Kinney lost considerable
cuticle and had his clothes ruined.
The horse ran through the streets at
top speed, bringing up oil Ferguson
street near 10th, where it was caught.
The buggy was upset there and consid-
erably damaged.

He Was Bounced.

Good-looking and even handsome
young men are not SC rarely seen at the
Railroad house tables as to make n
the centre of attraction, or so conspic-
uous as to attract general attention,
nevertheless a young fellow of that
description did attract the attention of
'the genial clerk" e. F. Reed, n
evening in the supper room not long
ago. Reed could not remember having
seen his name on the register, and
therefore concluded to investigate the
case. But fortune favored the young
man, and he slipped out of the room
unobserved. An evening or two later
he called for another meal and got it.
Nobody invited him to take it, how
ever, and while the management of the
house is generous enough, it doesn't
propose to nourish stylish dead-beats,
and for that reason Reed waited and
interviewed the young man when he
came out. lie owned up to two meals,
and was blandly informed that the
price of meals obtained in that way
would be 81. so each, or So in all. The
fellow brought out his wallet rather
reluctantly, and after a prolonged
search through its somewhat compli-
Gated folds produced $3.50. Then
Reed told him to get out, and the d. b.,
having paid his bill, concluded that he
wasn't in a hurry, and so expressed
himself. Those who know Reed can
imagine the result. Those who saw
the elegantly-attired dead-beat light
on the common opposite the Railroad
house know what it was already.

Territorial Teachers. institute.

The Territorial Teachers Institute
convened yesterday at the school build
ing. Some ten or fifteen teachers we've
in attendance, all from Laramie and
Albany counties. John Slaughter, Ter
ritorial Superintendent, presided, and
Prof. r. Z. Fitch, of Laramie City was
elected Secretary. Little was done be-
yond effecting an organization, and the
Institute adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning.
Evening sessions are to be held, prob
ably at the Presbyterian church, at
which addresses are to lie delivered on
various subjects. Music will be fur
nished by our splendid quartette, and
the public will find it a pleasure to
attend. All are cordially invited and
we hope to see a large attendance.

sst the Ball Raiiina.

Our leading men should not delay in
getting ready to build the proposed
narrow gauge railroad from this city to
the Black Hills and Montana. We
have the standing offer of Jay Gould
and Sidney Dillon to invest as much
in this road as Cheyenne will, and their
word for the return of the aid promised
the Longmont extension or $4,000 in
cash. We are to have control of the
road, and it will pay and pay well from
the day the first twenty-five miles shall
be working.
A Nebraska and Iowa company is
now struggling to build one hundred
miles from the Missouri river toward
the Hills, and if this effort succeeds
this year, as is now expected, this line
will attract the attention of capitalists
and the road will then be pushed to
completion. Cheyenne cannot afford
to sit still and see the vast trade of the
northland diverted from her gates.

There are noble oak groves at vari-
GUS places between Crook City and
Rapid. Some of these trees near the
d~ebouchment of the latter from the
Hills being three feet through at the
base. One grove, a few miles above
Rapid City, is of vast extent, and it
encleses a clear, ice cold spring of i'm
mense size.
The experience of this growing sea-
son has already demonstrated that it is
not safe to attempt to farm in the
Black Hills without having made prep
aration to irrigate the soil. We be-
lieve fall-sown wheat would come on all
right without irrigation, but are now
satisfied that all other crops, in the ma
jority of seasons, would have to be
irrigated. The Black Hills valleys are
naturally fertile and productive and
susceptible of a varied cultivation, but
no farmer should invest in improve
ments where water cannot be obtained
for irrigating purposes. B. II. Pioneer.

QUA uealsLAroRs.

The attempt now being made by one
or two political bummers to create
political strife over the election of
members of the legislature, when so
many local matters of vital Importance
to this county are at stake, will meet
with the defeat it deserves. We need
our most trustworthy and experienced
men to represent our interests in the
next assembly. The leading Democrats
in this county, while they are not at all
inclined to give up their party organi-
cation, which will be kept intact for
future campaigns, r anxious to unite
with the people, at this time, in nomi-
mating fourteen of our best citizens
who can be induced to accept a nomi-
nation. 1t will require hard work to
get the consent Of fourteen good, relia-
BILE men, such as could and would, as
legislators, do honor to their constitu-
ents, to become candidates.; they can
be secured, however, and when they
shall go before the people for their suf-
frages, they will be triumphantly elect.
ed. The people of Laramie county
certainly do not want the r~iff-raff, that
is now bowling for Il straight partisan
ticket, to manage the campaign and
elect this %county's representatives in
the Fifth Legislative Assembly.

Justice to Captain Mills.

Meanwhile the Commander had ap-
prehensions that they would develop
greater strength and attack him. He
seemed overpowered by this fear at the
inception of the fight, and when the
Indians first sent their bullets into u
ranks he exclaimed, "Retreat, men!
Retreatl' They were in no mood to
retreat, however, and Lieutenant Craw-
ford seconded their impulse by drawing
his pistol and shouting, 81 will shoot
the first nan who tries to retreat!''
This noble insubordination prevented
disaster. I'm. Y. Herald, October,
1876.
1t affords us sincere pleasure to be
able to contradict this story on author
ity, and after close investigation, that
cannot be questioned. Lieut.. Crawford
Lieutenant John w. Bubb and Lieu
tenant Fred. Schwatka have united in
a card pronouncing the charges against
Captain Mills as utterly without found
alton, and we take pleasure in adding
our own testimony in his behalf. n. Y.

Our Opium Smokers.

There are two filthy dens in this city
inhabited by Chinese, at which degraded
Celestials are constantly to be seen
smoking opium. Generally, when ''Mel-
lean man. enters the inmates ask him
to smoke with them. The Chinaman
asks his friends to smoke opium as
much as the Englishman proffers his
friend a cigar. AS all know who have
investigated the subject, opium is not
burned in smoking as tobacco. A gen.
tie heat is applied, the enthralling vapor
is inhaled, and the residue gum, when
the moisture is expelled, drops in a
semi-crystalized state, in the hollow
of a pipe. This is garnered, and the
total product, after the pipe is passed
it may be through fifty Asiatic mouths,
is mixed in a pasty mass, and is dealt
out for the Caucasian customers and
the lowest class of coolies.

Is Your Life Worth 10 centss

Sickness prevails everywhere, and
every body complains Of some disease
during their life. When sick, the OBJ
ject is to get well; now to say plainly
that no person in this world that is suf-
fering with dyspepsia, liver complaint
and its effects, such as Indigestion, CO.'S
%tiveness, sick headache, sour stomach,
heartburn, palpitation of the heart, de
pressed spirits, billiousness, etc., can
take Green's August Flower with
out getting relief and cure.
If you doubt this, go to your druggists,
Addoms s. Glover, and get a sample

Eyans.on's Narrow Escape.

Evanston narrowly escaped being en-
tirely destroyed by fire on Wednesday
of last week. A fire broke out in the
sage brush southwest of town, the Age
says, and there being no wind, was not
noticed for an hour or two, when a
strong breeze began blowing toward
town. People who went to look re-
turned in q hurry and began taking
protective measures.
For a few moments the most intense
excitement prevailed. Women COM
menced packing what they could carry
of the most valuable of their household
goods, while children were running
about nearly frightened to death, and
screaming that they did not know
where to go. Fortunately just at an
opportune moment, the wind changed
to the north, changing the course of
the fire, and everyone drew a long
breath. But it would not do to stand
still, rs the wind might change again.
In a short time two or three hundred
men had cut a road fifty or sixty feet
wide through the sage brush along the
foot of the hill. This accomplished, the
danger seemed to he over, and by 6
O'Clock the fire had spent its fury and
was all out, a section between two and
three miles square having been burned
over. In most places not a stick could
be seen, the flames having swept it
clean. .

The Camp stambauqh Horse. Thieves.

A supposed horse-thief was arrested
at Camp Stambaugh on the 9Th. He
was drinking considerable and declared
his attention to waylay the U. S. Pay
master on his return and also steal any
horse that he might come across Four
others were known to be out in the hills,
and they have probably been arrested
ere this. The arrested man boosted
that there were not men enough in that
county to arrest his chums. There is
no doubt about their being a portion of
the horse-thieves in that vicinity. They
made particular inquiries about the
Paymaster.
