TOOK TO DRINK.-The Hollister En-.

O'Neal, who died in Alameda county
from excessive drinking, says he took TO
that indulgence through disappointment.
ut being defeated for the Shrievaity. We
think the taste for the stuff must have
been there before. O'Neal came within
three votes Of beating Harry Morse for
Sheriff of Alameda, and every body knows
that Morse Is one of the best Sheriff, in
the State. a man that would drink him

Mon LAW IN SANTA CRUz.-It is sell
dom indeed that mob law can bo held
justifiable, but if ever II was Santa Cruz
shows the occasion. Two Spaniards,
Francisco Arias and Jose Chamalis mur-
dered DIR. De Forest to get money to take
them 20 the circus. From their victim
they obtained $40, and we have no doubt
they went to the circus and enjoyed them
selves. The people Of Santa Cruz, soon
after had little circus of another kind in
which the two murderers did little tight
rope dancing without the Intervention of
judge or jury.

ANOTHER EsCAPE.-Kate Claxton, tho

from being burned to death, the last time
Mt the st. LOUIS fire. She had engaged
rooms Mt the Greenman House, at St.

hotel was burned to the grouud on Mon
day. Landlords had better hire her to

the State in 1871. His orato7ical efforts
we're followed by SO many fires that the

A QUEER ExPERIMEST.-Popular suf-
frage has been put to a singular test in
village of Ava, Japan. Tho neighbor-
hood was harasscd by n midnight robbcr
whom nobody could detect. The head of
the hamlet summoned the entire male
population under his charge and directed
every man TO write the name Of the per-
son whom he suspected and to deposit
the ticket in box. Fifteen tickets bore
the name of Abe Tanhei, the rest being
blanks. The man whom everybody dis
trusted was so overcome with astonsh-
ment that he made a full confession and
went to prison. Never before in the his
tory of popular government was chief

A Red-Hot Runaway.

A ranchman named Secor, who halls
from Livermore, Colo. stopped at the
depot, yesterday, to leave some baggage
and hitched his lines TO the wagon
wheel while he went to the real to lift
out n trunk. About the time he got
hold of the trunk the dummy snorted,
the horses started, and q moment later
they were flying up Hill street, with
Secor after them. In making the turn
at the corner of 18th the runaways left
the box and rear wheels, upside down.
Here one of Lees transfer teams turned
themselves loose and flew up the street
ahead Of Secor's horses. Pedestrians
and teamsters lit out for tall timber,
and the runaways had full right of
way until they reached the corner of
Bent street, when some men ran
out, Lees horses wnirled, ran against
a large post, and turned Il complete
somersault. They were caught, hitched
up, and pranced off in good shape.
Meanwhile Secor's team had passed
on down to Grow creek bottom, run
ming as far as Kapp's brewery, where
the gray fell down, and they too were
secured. The gray received n bad cut
in the knee, but otherwise very slight
damage was done.

A WELL MERITEp TR1BUTE.-A
tribute of praise where praise is due is
simple justice. Among the most de-
serving Of the proprietary articles
which have won a place among the
medicinal staples Of America is
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, a remedy for
diseases and injuries Of the skin, a
beuutifer of the complexion and a
means of relieving rheumatism and
govt. Sulphur baths have long been
recognized as the most efficient means
of curing eruptive and rheumatic dis
eases. They are somewhat too expen-
sive, however, for u modest purse.
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP is a cheapand
perfectly reliable substitute for them,
since it accomplishes the same results
with equal certainty and celebrity. Be-
sides removing unhealthy examinations,
1t improves the texture Of the skin and
clarifies it.

Three road agents who have been

here this evening. They came into

drawing a revolver and shooting officer
May through the arm. The fire was
returned, but the desperate succeeded
in getting to a horse and started over
the hill. The horse vas killed by a
rifle shot, and before the robber could
recover himself from the fall Sheriff
Bullock closed with and easily over
came him, rs lie had been shot through
the body and was weak from loss of
blood. His wound is probably fatal.

THE sse,nx,me OF TINE END.

The people of Laramie county have
now before them two tickets for mem
beers of the legislature, the working
mems ticket having been nominated
yesterday, which will undoubtedly
be endorsed by the Republican conven-
ton. Both tickets are made up of first
class men, and no matter which may
prevail, we are sure of securing able
and reliable representatives in the next
legislature. There is no reason, there
fore, why our citizens should get unduly
excited " this campaign; all will be
over in a few days; we all shall have to
live and work together, after next
Tuesday, as heretofore, and the result
of next Tuesdays election will soon be
forgotten and more important matters
will absorb the attention of our people.

GETTING SLIGHTLY MIXED.


Party affairs are getting slightly
mixed In this Territory. The Working
mems organization seems to be getting
away with the baggage just at pres
ent. In this county the horny-handed
sons of toll bid fair to swallow the Re-
publican outfit, and in Albany county
they have absorbed a portion Of the
Democratic ticket, which had already
swallowed a goodly Republican dose, by
adopting two staunch Republicans like
Col. S. W. Downey and Col. L. D.
Pease, who, however, are reported to
have Joined the Democrats for good.
Party lines will be nearly wiped out by
next Tuesday night, and a general re-
organization will have to be effected be.
fore another campaign can be inaugu-
rated.

Why is It, said an old friend of THE
LEADER to its publisher Yesterday

Why is It, said an old friend of THE
LEADER to its publisher yesterday,
that you newspaper men stoop so often
to ordinations and determinations, one
against the other, thus filling your
papers with matter wholly irrelevant to
the issues Of the day, and infringing
upon the space that ought to be occu-
pied by the current news or other mat
tiers of interest to your readers?
We had to acknowledge the corn,
and promise to do better-next week.
While we thus make a due apology to
our readers for replying to Slack's lies
and blackguardism, we must remind
them, that the publisher of a paper like
The LEADER, independent in all
things" is being made the scape-goat
at which all the filth Slack has at his
command is thrown. He would not
dare to attack the men at whom he
tries to aim through THE LEADER; for
they would brain him in twenty-four
hours; hence he goes for Claiche, and
swears in secret against the whole
Cheyenne outfit for refusing to nomi-
nate him for the legislature. OF course,
we have to talk back occasionally and
expose some Of Slack's many weak
points; but after next Tuesday we shall
let him go to perdition without any
attempt, on IL part, to teach him
better things.
