OUR LARAMIE CITY LETTER.


-. -"
DEAR LEADER-It is some little
time since | have written you, and /
now have several interesting vents to
chronicle, one Of the most pleasant
being the ''calico ball, :" IN last Wednes-
day eve. This party was largely at
tended, and the young ladies never
looked so pretty as they did in their
neat calico dresses. Will Harte, who
came over the hill, graced the party
with his presence, as did also Mr.. t. A.
McShane, the popular Omaha cattle
man.
Thursday, Miss Ida Cramer left for
Denver. She was accompanied by Mrs.
Weber and brother, Mr.. Holiday, of
Virginia Dale. BY the large party of
friends who went rs far as Otto with
her, and the serious co~untenance of
our handsome young surveyors and the
profound melancholy that e~nvelops a
certain young disciple of Scion, you can
easily read the esteem in which Miss
Cramer is held in Laramie. The young
lady, who is a fine elocutionist, will
give public readings through Colorado
during the next five weeks, and prob
ably in Cheyenne before her return to
her home in Kansas.
The topic of all absorbing interest
Just now is the Conductors Brother
hood ball, and the feminine mind is all
engrossed with ball dresses, fiounces,
fans and all the various paraphernalia
Of the feminine toilet. Prof. Galloway's
band is to furnish the music, and a
very enjoyable time is anticipated.
L understand Mr. Henry Wagner in
tends to discontinued his Cheyenne store.
This will bring Handsome Ed and
Will Harte back to Laramie, an agree
able change to our young people; though
1 understand there is a great attraction
for them in the "Magic City," and it
will be very hard for them to leave.
The young ladies and gentlemen who
went over to Cheyenne to attend "Our
Party" express themselves as highly
pleased with the treatment they re-
ceived, and say the young ladies and
gentlemen of the 'Magic City, are the
most courteous they have ever met.
We should be pleased to have a repre-
sentation of ladies and gentlemen from
your city at some of our parties. Our
yonng people will do everything in
their power to make their visit a pleas
ant one.
An immense number of valentines
passed through the office this year not
withstanding the times are so hard.
A number of our stock men intend
going to the Big Horn country in about
six weeks. If they are pleased with
the country they will probably take up
ranches and remove there.
A large number of teams have left
here for Deadwood during the past
, week, and one or two more are prepar-
ing to go.
, Mr.. G. B. Grow, Il of our leading
ranchmen, who has been absent some
six weeks buying stock in Oregon and
California, passed through here last
Saturday on his way to Pennsylvania.
LAIN IluulOl says w ottty VIII IlOb NC
long, and that on his return he will
wed one of Laramie's fair daughters.
Mr.. Grow is quite II favorite, and we
are glad to know that he has decided to
remain here permanently.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Ivinson returned
home last Tuesday from an extended
visit through the eastern states.
Two or three marriages are on the
tapis just now, but we don't dare tell
who they are.
A party of young men left here
Tuesday for a hunting excursion in
the mountains west of Medicine Bow.
AS they have not yet returned WE can
not say how successful their trip has
been.
Mr.. Mat Hopkins arrived here from
New York last Sunday evening, and
took the position of bookkeeper in the
popular grocery house of Trabing Bros.
We gladly welcome Mr.. Hopkins to our
little city, where his agreeable, courteous
manners will make him deservedly
popular.
Court is still in session, and seems to
be doing al immense amount of bust
ness.
A Wyoming zephyr is gently lifting
the sign-boards and toying with the
hats of the gentlemen this morning,
though the air is very spring-like.
! More anon. LORA.
DIED.
