The San Francisco rxeur,Ioa.

Some n started a rumor about a
month ago that there was to be an ex-
cursion from Denver and Cheyenne to
San Francisco. AS is usually the case
with our western people the word sex
cursion" set them wild, and during the
time since the announcement was made
there has been a general buzz about the
matter. One of the officers of the
Union Pacific when written to OF the
subject, said that a special car would
be sent out from Cheyenne to San Fran
cisco if seventy-five passengers could be
obtained at $3.50 for the round trip.
This rate is likely to materially dimin-
ish the enthusiasm, and it is not prob
able that there will be an excursion.

Howard VS.. Ryder.

The cast of The City of Cheyenne vs..
John Ryder, for violation Of a city
ordinance, came up before Justice
Slaughter yesterday morning. The
defendant was arraigned, plead not
guilty, and asked for a continuance
until 10 o'clock this morning, which
application was granted. This case
has caused considerable discussion and
excitement in this community; one side
being represented by our correspondent,
whose communication we published
yesterday. The other side has yet to
be heard, and the trial will afford an
opportunity this morning Of getting
at the bottom facts. We therefore
refrain from extended remarks on
the case, until both sides have had an
opportunity to be heard.

The river is SO low that all the boats
have stopped running up it. Some five
or six boats are on sand-bars and will
have to winter high and dry.
Yellowstone Kelly is now taking the
mail down the river to the Cantonment

to Omaha.
Myself and party have just returned
from q prospecting tour through the
Big Horn region. As we were leaving
the mountains we ran upon q little
band of Indians, and after giving Us q
a few rounds they found our guns were
the best and decamped.
We found some very good placer
claims on Little Mans creek, butdared
not stop to work them for fear of
Indians, who came into the valley on
the 9th and caused us to leave immedi-
ately.
We located some splendid ranches
and cut considerable hay, but left
everything when we saw the Indians.
The finest farming lands 1 ever saw are
to be found all though this section. We

The Cattle Disease spreading westward

The Cattle Disease Spreading Westward.
Our stock growers should take speedy
and effective measures to prevent the
spread of the great cattle epidemic.
Cattle should not be shipped over the
Kansas Pacific, and all herds now en-
route to this section from the south
should be stopped. Already the stock
owners In the vicinity of Leavenworth
are greatly alarmed over the appear
ance of a disease among their cattle,
which is destroying great numbers Of
them. A herd of cattle from the
Indian Territory was turned out to
Craze on the range a few miles from
that city, where the herds belonging to
the farmers and dairymen were accus-
toned to grazing. All the native cat
tie In the neighborhood are reported as
being mol or less affected and many
have died. The strange cattle were
apparently well, and have been for
warded TO market. 1t is the same
disease that made its appearance In the
n~eighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, where
a band of southern cattle had been
pastured q short time before. As the
sick cattle all have the Texan ticks In
them, it is possible the blood of the
southern cattle is poisoned by the bite
of these insects.

There wefe nearly one hunArslsnves
bars on the floor Of the express car
which was robbed at Big Springs Last
Thursday night, each valued at from
$500 to $1,000, and weighing from sew
enty-fve to ninety pounds. Indeed so
thick were the bars that one could not
walk across the car without striking
silver at every step. The robbers paid
no attention to the bullion, as it was
too heavy for them. If they were only
running a small mint of their own they
could have carried the bricks away and
coined them into trade dollars.
The custom has been to ship specie
from San Francisco to New York in
large i%ron-bound boxes with capacity
to contain from 500, 600 to s25, 900 each.
These boxes are, of course, too large for
the Though safe, and are carried as any
other express matter, on the floor OF
the ar. The amount of specie carried
on the plundered car was very small as
compared with the usual '.run." Each
train carries from 5000, 600 to $500, 00O
while this N had but S65, 900. Had
there been more, however, the robbers
would have had trouble in carrying IL
away, and might have been retarded in
their progress so that pursuit and cap.
ture would have been rendered more
certain.
1t is generally believed that the rob.
bers are the same as those who have
been operating on the Sidney stage line.
Pinkerton's detective force have the
case in hand, as well as many private
detectives.

On the afternoon of Sept. 18th, says
a Southern Colorado exchange, Mr.. W.
A. Conant arrived in Pueblo, bringing
with him a large stone figure of a man,
which he had unearthed at the head Of
a long, dry arroyo, about 25 miles from
the city. The figure was found en-
bedded in very hard clay, requiring
vigorous use of a pick to loosen It. A
cedar tree grew near by, n Of the
roots Of which had grown between the
arm and the body Of the figure, making
it necessary to cut the root before re-
moving the statue from the bed in
which it had doubtless reposed for zen
turtles.
Mr.. Conant states that while sitting
on the ground eating his lunch in the
locality above mentioned, his attention
was attracted to a curious looking stone
protruding from the ground. He re-
moved the earth from around it and
found y resemblance to a human foot.
He then proceeded to dig away the
clay about a foot in depth and Don un-
covered the entire figure, and having
obtained assistance brought it to the
city. Unfortunately in removing the
figure from its bed a wooden
lever was placed under the neck
and the head broken of. 1t has,
however, been neatly replaced.
At first the discovery was supposed
to be the petri6ed body of u human be-
ing of gigantic stature, but closer exam
ination proves it to be u piece of sculp-
ture, but by whom executed, or to what
age it belongs no one seems to know.
1t is composed of Il kind Of slate rock,
colored a dirty yellow on the outside,
possibly from contact with the sur
rounding clay, and represents a man
his breast and the other laying along
his side with the hand resting on his
leg. The position Is easy and natural.
The entire length of the statue is seven
feet six inches, length of arm four feet
one inch, breadth across the shoulders
two feet, length of hand twelve and
one-half inches, length Of foot thirteen
inches. The weight of the figure is
about four hundred and fifty pounds.
The type of the human race repre-
sented is a strange one. The head,
which is turned slightly to one side, is
of the Asiatic type, a sort of cross be.
tween an Egyptian and al American
Indian, the cheek bones being remark.
ably prominent. The figure is spare
and thin, much like the men in ancient
Egyptian pictures, while the whole
body is covered with indentations. One
remarkable feature which strikes the
observer is the great length of the
arms, ana the ape-like appearance oil
the hands and feet. The hand which
rests on the leg, if the arm were
Strengthened, would reach to the knee,
while the feet are long, fiat and slim,
and the great toes about two inches
shorter than those in the middle of the
feet.
At the end of the backbone is O tail
about two or three inches long, strongly
suggestive Of the truth of the Darwin.
