For the past three or four days q ru-
NOR has been floating about the city
that Mr.. George NJ. Bradley, a well
known Cheyenne f~reighter has proba-
bly, met with foul play, and lost his life
while enroute for Deadwood, whittier
he started from Cheyenne a few days
before the great storm. He left here
with two mule teams accompanied by
another freighter, carrying with them
two wagon loads of apples, which MI.
Bradley intended to put on sale at
Deadwood. The story goes that upon
their arrival at Hat Creek five of the
mules wandered away at night or were
stolen. Mr.. Bradley went in search of
them and failed to return. What be-
came of his companion we do not learn.
The wagons were discovered heal the
road and the fruit they contained found
in a rapidly decaying condition. We
understand that Mr.. G.. W. Stone, of
this city, who is a particular friend of
Mr.. Bradley's, met a man yesterday
just in from the Hills who says be saw
Bradley alive and well less than q week
ago. The affair is rather mysterious,
and we %anxiously await further devel-
oDments.

Delegate Corlett, after much labor
with the House committee on the Ju-
dietary, has succeeded in securing a re-
consideration Of the vote by which the
committee agreed to report favorably
upon the Senate bill to repeal the law
re-assigning the Judges of Wyoming
Territory. AS this committee is made
up Of the best lawyers in the House of
Representatives., and as Democrats
and Republicans on said committee
voted unanimously to reconsider their
former action, it is not at all likely that
the law, now on our statute book, will
be interfered with, nor that Judge
Peck will trouble the people of Wyo-

of reform. We dare say that Mr.. Cor

makers that our population is not made

Very Reliable,

Whenever a Cheyenne paper makes
an allusion to anybody or anything in
the Black Hills in an unfavorable man
ner, it is almost invariably met by a
response from the Deadwood Times,
that the statement is a 'lie." To give
II readers an idea of the Times reli-
ability, we quote the following from a
recent issue of that sheet:
Cheyenne is such n nice place. The
young men are SO docile-such gentle
creatures. A dapper looking dancing
master happened along there one day
recently and receiving sufficient en-
enlargement concluded to tarry among
the young folks long enough to teach
them the Newport Glide. Before lie
got half through with his lessons the
young men became jealous of him, and
a week ago one of his pupils, who
thought the teacher was s%upplanting
him in the affections of his d~ulcinea
turned loose and bounced the said
terpsichorean who glided out of town
that night, and now the young men If
Cheyenne are happy"

A Woman Throws Herself in Front Of q
Switch Engine.

Among other passengers who came
in IN saturday afternoons train from
the east, was a shabbily dressed female
about thirty years old whose strange
conduct at once attracted the attention
Of several persons around the depot at
the time. She walked up and down the
platform several times and gazed eagerly
around as il expecting to meet some
one with whom she was acquainted.
Afterwards she took a seat on a trunk
in front of the baggage room, where
she remained an hour or more, asking
odd questions ofHparties who happened
to be passing. She then went to Eames'
Hotel aud asked the privilege of lying
down upon a sofa in the sitting room,
with which request Mr. Eames COM
piled. After lying there about an hour
she arose and offered ten cents to re-
munerate the proprietor, which he re-
fused to take. She then had supper,
secured a room and retired. On Sun
day morning she had breakfast and
paid her bill, saying as she did so, that
she had ''only fifteen cents left in the
world" About IL O'Clock she went to
the depot and acted so strangely that
officer Smith, a special policeman on
duty there, approached her saying,
you hadn't better hang around here;
we don't want folks sitting here on the
trunks" She then told him she was
from mississippi, and had come to
Cheyenne for the purpose Of meeting a
relative who had promised to come here
after her from California; said she had
no money, and didn't know what to do.
Before he had time to make a reply to
the last remark she rushed frantically
to the middle track and about midway
between the Railroad House, and the
Union Pacific ticket once, where she
threw herself in front of 4 switch en-
CINE which was approaching from the
east. The few who happened to be
witnesses of the act looked on with
amazement. Officer Smith was some
distance away, as were the rest of the
spectators. They were powerless to
reach and drag her from the track be-
fore the iron monster would crush her
to pieces. Yet her deliverer wa at
hand. Yard Master Brown, who was
riding on the engine, seeing the
woman's peril, leaped to the ground
and seizing her instantly dragged the
would-be-suicide from the track and
thus saved her life. BY so doing he
endangered his own safety, and those
who witnessed his heroism were loud
in their praises of his conduct. Officer
Smith took the woman in charge, and
some of the train men contributed
money to pay her way TO Ogden. She
left on Sunday afternoons passenger

/. BROUGHT IN AND BURIED.
And still Another Victim Of the Great Storm.

Some time since THE LEADER an
nounced the probable death, by freezing,
of John Henry Brewer, an old man
residing near Webber's Hay Meadow,
about twenty-five miles from Cheyenne.
On the 9Th day of March, the first day
of the great snow storm, he left his
house for the purpose of feeding a calf
in the stable not far from his residence,
since which time no trace of him could
be found, although his sons, who live
near him, had been diligently endeav-
oring to learn his fate. They were
aided in their search by the neighbors,
but as the snow has continued quite deep
in some places, it was not until Satur-
day last that their search resulted in
finding him. On that day his lifeless
body was found half buried in the snow
less than a half mile from his house.
He was found in a sitting posture, be-
tween two trees, where, to all appear
ances, he had endeavored to find a par
tial shelter from the storm. One hand
was lying on his breast, while the other
was clutched in his whiskers. Mr..
Brower's wife stood in the door watch
ing him as he started on the fatal jour-
ney to the barn, and called to him
repeatedly at intervals, for several
hours in order that he might be able to
hear her voice, which she hoped would
guide him in his return through the
drifting snow. At midnight she gave
him up for lost. The body was brought
to Cheyenne on Sunday by his son,
VIM. Brewer, accompanied by Freder-
lex La Pash, a brother-in-law of the
latter. The funeral took place yester-
day afternoon at 8 O'Clock. Rev. l.. J.
Hall, pastor of the Methodist church,
conducted the religious services. De-
ceased was about 40 years of age.

The Bannack Indians.
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our Regular Correspondent.l
SALT LAKE CITY, April 6, 1878.
To the Editor Of The Leader:
An outbreak among the Bannacks at
the Fort Hall and Semhi Agencies in
Idaho, seems to be imminent. The
latter agency is in General McDowell's
command, and the former III General
Crooks. General Crook has gone to
San Francisco, probably with a view to
cooperation with General Mcdowell in
any military movements that may be-
come necessary.
The ponies captured from the Ban
nacks by Gen. Smith, some time ago,
were ordered to be brought here and
sold, the proceeds to go to the purchase
of cattle for the Indians. Captain
Bainbridge started with the herd for
this city, but when he reached Malad,
received orders to take the ponies back
to Fort Hall. What is to be done with
them now remains to be seen.
The weather here is, and has been,
for some time, delightful, and the
marrying business among the saints is
