Yesterday morning the case of George

ris' stock ranch near Fort Laramie,
charged with stealing cattle from his
employers, and others, was brought be-
fore Justice Slaughter. Judge W. II.
Miller, county attorney, appeared for
the prosecution and c. w. Bramel, on
the part of the defense. This is the
same transaction in which Henry Good
fellow, and one or two other parties
are involved. The court room was
crowded with spectators, principally
stock men, who, rs a matter of course,
are deeply interested in all such cases.
Several witnesses were called and tes-
titled, among the number being Messrs.
Pratt, of the stock farm of Pratt &
Ferris; Thomas Lawrence, L. Bunson,
E. johnson and Henry Goodfellow.
AT 8 O'Clock court adjourned. The
case will be taken up again this fore.

borne an excellent reputation and en-
joyed the confidence of his employers.
We forbear comment, ~preferring to
abide the verdict of the court rather
than jump at conclusions which may
do the accused Injustice.

RAILROAD RACKET.
Arrival of Snow Bound Trains Prom
the East.

JOY was depicted upon every counte-
name yesterday when it became known
that ere the going down of the sun
light would break in from the east by
the arrival of some, at least, of the
nov bound trains.
The train arriving first was at 4:30
p. M, under the co~nductorship of Mr..
WI .Seeley who, it seems, had run into
the snow banks at Antelope on Friday.
At this point they were detained until
Monday. The passengers consumed
all the provisions they had with them
by Saturday night, and Conductor
Seeley was forced to organize himself
into a sanitary commission and supply
their wants. This he did by opening
an express car. Up to this time the
storm was raging to such an extent as
not to allow the passengers to besiege
the town.
On Sunday the sanitary funds be-
came exhausted. n fat OK was called
into requisition, and in about twenty
minutes from the time it was killed it
was roasted, devoured, and we were
about to say, digested. Just at this
time, as Mr.. Seeley was contriving to
devise ways and means of providing
further for the passengers, a train an
der the conductorship Of Mr.. Dicken-
son, arrived. Mr.. Dickinson having
also exhausted all his sanitary funds
and sympathies, a consultation was
held, and they decided to retreat to
Sidney.
Conductor Rush, who was a passen-
ger, rendered valuable assistance to his
brother conductors in their dilemma.
All three deserve great credit for the
manner in which they acquitted them
selves. No complaint has been heard
from any of the passengers. All were
satisfied, and speak in terms of praise
of their %gentlemanly conduct.
The railroad company did all in their
power to prevent suffering. AS soon
as it was possible to secure food, Assis-
tant Superintendent J. T. Clark had
the passengers on all the trains supplied
at the expense of the Company. Upon
the arrival of the first batch of emil
grants in Cheyenne, 165 were divided
between the Key City, Metropolitan
and Western hotels, and 6S of those
who belonged to the second INSTALL
ment were likewise provided for mon
reaching this place.

lindsey,s inquest aud Burial.

The body of John Lindsey, the unfor-
tunate man who was frozen to death
on Pole Creek, during the storm last
Friday was brought to this city yester-
day. Hon. \. III. Reel, in whose en-
ploy Lindsey was, sent Mr.. j. G. Craft
with n team on Monday afternoon for
the body, which upon arriving here,
was taken to Mr.. Reels office on Six
teenth street. Coroner Goldacker, up
on being notified, summoned the fol-
lowing named gentlemen us a jury to
investigate officially the cause of his
death: T.. II. Merrill, foreman, with
Messrs. Adamsky, Dare, Logan, Hord,
and Schooler. The only witness ex-
amined was Mr.. J. G.. Craft, who was
N Of the patty caught in the storm at
the time of Lindsey's death. Mr..
Craft detailed to the jury how the par
ty was overtaken in camp by the storm
and the successful efforts of all, except
Lindsey, to escape with their lives.
There being no other witnesses the
jury considered the testimony and rem
dered u verdict in accordance with the
facts. The remains of the unfortunate
man were buried at 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Reel says the deceased
was a faithful employe and he feels his
loss deeply. The funeral arrangements
were contaminated by Mr.. Reel at his
own expense.

The morning Glimmer takes delight
i'll circulating falsehoods about people
who don't happen TO regard that sensa-
tional sheet as second only to Holy
Writ. Yesterday morning it assailed
Harry Oppenheimer, of Fort Mckinney,
who is snow bound here. Messrs.
Go%ttstein, Idelman s Co., of this city,
have handed in the following rejoinder
which states the Ease in language too
plain to be misunderstood:
March 18th, 1873.
EDITOR CHEYENNE LEADER:
Sir-In reply to the item in this
mornings SUN in regard to Harry
Oppenheimer knocking a Mexican down
in u place Of business, we desire to
state that the affair is grossly misrep-
resented by that paper. The charge
that Mr.. Oppenheimer has stolen from
the government is false. The Mexican
vas KNOCKED down purely in self de-
fence, and not because he knew Of any
dishonest transactions on the part of
Mr.. O%ppenheimer, whom we have
known for five years as an honest man.
Would it not be best for the Sun to in
vestigate such matters before jumping
at conclusions in that manner?
Respectfully,

GOVERNOR THAYER.


About three years ago Ex-senator
John 81. Thayer, of Nebraska, was APP
pointed Governor of this Territory.
He accepted the position, came to Wyo-
ming, and has since that time occupied
the position of Chief Executive of this
Territory. He had previously Alled
many honorable offices in the state Of
his adoption; he had served his state
and country ably and faithfully as a
soldier and n citizen, being chosen to
the highest office in the gift of his peo-
pie. We know his services as a United
States Senator; we have been acquaint-
ed with bis career in that distinguished
body, IN which he ever was the cham
pion of the rights of the people, and
the ardent advocate of the develop
ment of the great west. To the dis
tinguished honors that had crowned
his brow rs a General and a Sem
ator, the unimportant office of Gov
ernor of Wyoming Territory could add
nothing; in fact it was generallythought
by his friends that Senator Thayer step
ped down from a high position, when
he entered upon his new duties in this
Territory. He thought differently,
however, and took the new departure.
lie became Governor of Wyoming, and
he honored the position and II people
in SO doing. How well he has filed the
gubernatorial chair here, we leave to
our readers to say. Has he disappoint-
ed the people of Wyoming in their high
e~xpectationsp Has he not admins
tered his Office in the interests of the
people? Has he not co~nscientiously
and fearlessly performed what he con
sidered, under his oath of office, to he
his solemn duties? Has he ever ignor-
ed the wants Of our citizens? Has he
ever misrepresented the citizens of Wy
oming at home or abroad? These are
questions which no citizen of the Ter
ritory, who has watched Governor
Thayer's course during the past three
years, can hesitate to answer.
To-day we learn through the agency
VI lllt ASSltlilth L ltoS llliI At ohNINSopl
to Gov. Thayer has been nominated by
President Hayes. 1t will he a surprise
to everybody far and near; and it will
be no ~discourtesy to the gentleman who
has been named for the office, for THE
LEADER to suggest to all the people of
Wyoming to join in an appeal to the
President to recall his action in this
case, and to continue as our Governor
the present incumbent. Let our peo-
pie act at once, and respectfully lay
their petitions before the President,
through their Delegate in Congress.
We know the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation will not disregard the wishes eff
the people of Wyoming, expressed
unitedly and spontaneously in behalf of
their Executive. Let the good work be
inaugurated without delay.

unable to wait upon their patients, and
most of them recovered in consequence.
Two of the men caught in the storm
when. John Lindsey lost his life, on Pole
creek, are quite badly frozen, but will

will lose some of his fingers and toes.
Their escape was indeed miraculous.

considerably frozen.
The detachment of the Second cav
airy en- route from Camp Carlin to Fl.

a Mexican named Rays Gonzales, on
Friday, at his sheep ranch about seven

was found and cared for yesterday
morning and will be brought to Chey.
