wonderful qualities be known to their

Three doses will relieve any case, and we

dozen bottles were sold last year, and no

THE CHILLlCOTHE MURDER
Arrest of the Guilty Man.
tie Feigns Insanity.

Perry Bowsher was arrested in
Hooking county by four farmers
on Sunday last, on suspicion
of having committed the McYey
murder, A portion of the stolen
bonds were found in his posse ssion.
He was Immediately taken to Chilli
cothe, where he is now safely lodged
in Jail. Bowsher is a disreputable
character, who some years ago was
sent to the Penitentiary from Hook
ing county for term of five years
for horse stealing, but after serving
four years Of his sentence was re
leased and sent to Athens Lunatic
Asylum, under the plea of insanity,
from which institution he escaped
in March last. He has not been
seen in the vicinity of his old home
since his escape, until last Sunday,
when he made his appearance and
showed some of the stolen bonds to
his half brother, and in an hour af-
terwards was arrested.
The people of Chillicothe believe
him guilty, and think his insanity
dodge is put on to evade punish
ment.
He is unmarried, and about 81
years old.
He has given no clue as yet, which
will lead to the arrest of his accom-
plices, if be had any.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-09-22

A well known citizen of Kansas was
lately on q visit to this city. Soon
after his arrival here an acquaintance
introduced him to another citizen as
General So and So. Mr.. So and So.
who was not a general, protested to the
gentleman that he was not a general,
that he had no military title of any
kind. The gentleman to whom Mr..
So and So was introduced seemed aston
ished at his Reputation of the title.
"Have you not three chimneys to your
house?" Mr.. So and So admitted that
he had. His e acquaintance, with a
smile of triumph, said:-"I knew you
were a general; no use to deny it any
longer. Kansas Is "a martial state.
Three chimneys over there a
general, two a colonel and one a major.
No man there is lower rank than
a captain. General So and So, | am
delighted to know you"

Fort Laramie Raided by an Elk.

A few days ago the military and
civilians at Fort Laramie were aston
ished at the sight of a huge elk, which
ran out of the underbrush in the
Platte bottom and charged directly
through the parade ground. The ant.
Tered monster was pursued by a pacb
of dogs Of all sizes, and after clearing
the buildings, when n canine, boldeI
than his fellows, nipped at his heel, the
elk whirled, threw down his a%ntlers,
impaled three or four of his pursuers,
then, lifting his handsome head quick.
ly, he threw them many yards away.
Two dogs were killed by the goring and
fall, while two or three others were
trampled to death.
Not many minutes elapsed before a
dozen officers, soldiers and civilians
were mounted, and in lively pursuit.
Several hundred cartridges were ex-
ploded, with no p%erceptible effect save
to increase the speed of the forest mon
arch, and after wearing out their
horses in a two hours run, the pursu-
ers gave up the chase and returned to
the fort, leaving the elk to seek some
quiet grazing spot on the boundless
plains. I.f
