rialize Congress in faver of attaching
the Black Hills to this Territory, and
in opposition to the proposed annexa-
ton of a portion of Wyoming to a new
Territory yet to be organized; but these

THE LEADER, and want of time and
space prevents extensive comments on
these topics, in this issue. We COM
mend the message itself to the careful
perusal of people, as well as to the
earnest and thoughtful study of our
legislators. 1t is q valuable and COM
p~rehensive document, n that reflects
great credit upon our Chief Executive.
1t will be read outside Of Wyoming,
and particularly in the Eastern States,
with great attention; and will awaken
a still deeper interest in our growth and
prosperity. If its judicious recommend
atoms are embodied in wholesome laws,
it will give a fresh incentive and addi-
tional security to outside capital and
labor, to seek permanent investments
and homes in our young and growing
community.

The message is quite full and inter-
esting in reference to our great stock
interests, and contains many very valua-
BILE statistics. There is no subject,
that can demand the attention of the
Legislature, more important than this.
Every statutory protection that this
great business requires, or that expert
ence can suggest, should be promptly
given. One Of the great evils that
our stockmen have to contend with is
the facility with which thieves can
prey upon their property; and this is a
difficult matter to deal with. 1t is n
fact that very few convictions have
been obtained in our Courts, although
there is very much complaint in this
respect, and our cattle men are great
losers from the de%predations of horse
and cattle thieves. We suggest that
one reason is that the penalties I'M
der our present laws are so terribly
severe, that juries fail to convict. 1t is
altogether out of proportion to punish
a man with ten gears in the peniten-
tiary and fire thousand dollars fine, for
stealing q goat, a pig or a calf, worth
ten dollars, while, if he steals S25 worth
of other property, he can he punished
only with six months in the county jail
and a fine of 800. The certainty of
conviction and punishment in ererycase
is more to be desired and sought after
than the severity of punishment but
rarely inflicted.

Death of Brigham Young.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 29.-Brigham Young died
at o'clock this afternoon.
[The Mormon High Priest, whose death
makes twelve actual widows and an in
Vulnerable number of spiritual ones, was
New England production, having been born in
Nottingham, VT, June 1, 1901 He Joined
the Mormons when 81 years of age and soon
became leading spirit among them. In 1885
he was one of the twelve apostles sent out to
make converts, and on the death of the prophet
Joe Smith in 1854 he succeeded to his Office.
With most of his sect he abandoned Nauvoo in
1876 and went in search of the Promised Land,
which proved to be the Salt Lake Valley where
he ard his followers established themselves and
founded Salt Lake City in 1S47. Two years
later, their number having been largely iu-
creased by emigration, they organized state
and called it Desaret, but Congress refused to
admit it into the Union and orga nized it as the
territory of Utah and Young was appointed its
governor in 1850. Ia 1857 be came into coils.
ion with the United States government, and
President Buchanan sent force of $500 men
to enforce its authority but a compromise was
effscteo. Latterly Young has been on the
wane. The revelations of the Mormon Bishop
Lee, who was shot last winter for his connec.
ton with the Mountain Meadow Massacre, had
put the officers of the law on the prophets
track and his death quite likely has relieved
him from being Indicted for murder. For sew.
eral years the Mormon hierarchy has shown
signs of weakness and Young's death will, it is
devoutly to be hoped, hasten its destruction.]

The Turco-Russian War.
THE BULGARIAN CAMPAIGN.
The Situation AT ShIuLa Pass

LONDON. Aug. pa Studen despatch of
yesterday says that after severe fighting Sun
day, the Turks RETAINED from renewing the
attack on the Russian positions in Shipka Pass
and up to yesterday morning only an OCCASION
al exchange of rifle shots between the outposts,
had occurred.
The result of Sundays fighting is that the
Turkish advanced batteries somewhat menace
the Russian TANKS. The Turks are construct
ing fresh batteries in Tuna Valley. The Rus
slams have been adequately reinforced and there
is nothing in their present situation to alter the
impression that Gen. Radetzky holds his posi-
ton safe.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. ga despatch
from Suleiman Pasha of the Goth details the
operations to that day. He says, "rhe Turks
occupied Alekridiebel heights to the left of the
enemys works, threatening their line of retreat
on the 21st, but the Russians succeeded on FRI
day in dislodging them, but on Saturday Vessel
Pasha with two brigades succeeded in gaining
footing and the fighting continued all night.
By 3 o'clock Sunday morning the Russians
were completely driven from the heights The
Russians receiving reinforcements made a final
assault, but were unsuccessful and returned to
their fortified works. The cannonade contin-
ued all Sunday without effect" Suleiman
concludes, 1.-The matter is not yet decided as
we have not yet taken the enemy's fortified
works. Our losses are yet unknown. One
Thousand Russian dead were found when the
enemy were driven from Alekridjebel hei ghts.
Suleiman Pasha telegraphs on the 28th: Our
entrenched line of investment is only $50 PAGES
from the enemy's Notifications. We still hold
the commanding Alekrijebel heights. The
Russians are blockaded on three sides. Every
effort is being made to complete the blockade
by cutting them off from the road to Gabrova.
The Russian forces have been cruelty decimated
and have retired to their fortified positions.
CannOnading and outpost engagements are car
ried on uninterruptedly.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Chicago & Rock Island Train
Thrown into a Stream.
The Killed Estimated all the Way
from 10 to so.

DIES MONIES, Aug. 29-Details of a railroad
accident on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad, miles from this city, are beginning
to arrive. The number of killed is estina sted
all the way from ten to fifty. Ali the train but
sleeping car went down into the stream. The
engine is completely out of sight. Barnum's
show car went down among the rest, and it is
said all the eleven occupants but one were kill
ed. Full particulars are impossible, as the ac-
cident occurred several miles from the tele-
graph office.
A special to the State Register from the
wreck says sixteen were killed as far as known
Twelve bodies are laid out on the bs uks, six Of
whom are Barnum's men. -Four dead bodies
are still to be seen in the wreck, but cannot he
got at present. The accident was occasioned
by the washing out of the bridge, which occult
ed about o'clock this a. m. The injured, so
far as heard from, foot up 81 persons, many of
whom are only slightly hurt.
1.55 P. M.-ODe more body has been recover
ed. Several more bodies can be seen. The top
of the car is now being lifted off with ropes
and pulleys. The bodies So far recovered are
now being loaded on to cars to be sent TO Des
Moines. 1t is thought that several have float
ed down stream. The water in it's channel was
over twenty feet deep. The wounded survivors
are all at Altoona and no names can be had at
the wreck.
Nearly all of the persons killed and injured
are from the West and few hailing from New
York and Philadelphia. Eighteen persons are
known to have been killed. Three cars were so
firmly telescoped together that it is impossible
so far to pry them apart even with block and
tackle.
