The ase OF D. ]. Mccain, charged
with selling ffty-two barrels of sugar
belonging to the government and ap-
p%ropriating the proceeds to his own
use, occupied the entire time of the
court yesterday. Hon. Z. p. johnson
appeared for the prosecution; Col. W.
r. Steele for the defence. The fore
noon was devoted to hearing witnesses;
the afternoon to hearing arguments
presented by the attorneys. The case
was then handed over to the jury.
The jury retired, and after consulta-
ton returned TO the court room with a
verdict Of guilty as charged in the in
dictment. MeCann heard the verdict
with maikable composure. The pen
atty imposed cannot be less than Eve
years imprisonment, the restoration Of
the property taken, or Its value, and
the payment of costs Of the suit.
McCann's bondsmen hold themselves
responsible for his appearance in court
tomorrow.

The contest for the sheriffalty does
not seem to have been settled by the
canvassing board to the satisfaction of
all parties concerned. The board. as
will be seen by the table published this
morning, awarded the victory to Hon.
G. A. Draper by six majority over his
opponent.
Yesterday Hon. IL. H. Helphenstine
and Others filed a petition In the district
court praying that tribunal to issue an
order restraining the county clerk from
issuing q certificate Of election to Mr..
Draper. Mr.. Helphenstine's counsel,
Messrs. Heller, Shannon, Carroll and
Mann, will appear in his behalf and
claim that Laramie river and Hat creek
precincts should be thrown out on ac-
count Of frauds perpetrated.
And the end is not yet.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-11-17

Last evening closed the series of en-
tertainments given in this city by Mrs.
ID. p. Bowers, supported throughout in
u most acceptable manner by Mr.. j. c.
McConom and the Forester troupe,
the latter Of which Is too well known
in this community to need praise at
our hands.
The play Of Camille" as presented
last evening was well suited to Mrs.
Bowers as an emotional actress. Her
conception of the part was exceedingly
fine. The play has an interesting plot,
but it is a play devoid of a moral lesson;
on the contrary its tendency is towards
that Of the immoral. Many years ago
in the east we witnessed Mrs. Bowers,
rs also the late Lucille Western, In the
role Of 'Camille"-a play almost uni
yersally condemned east of the Allie
ghanies. And yet those most loud in
their d~enunciations of the lesson which
it teaches, were generally found in re-
served seats, away up in 'front.'"
Despite the opinions of adverse critics,
when we'll rendered, 1t never fails to
attract appreciative audiences.
Mrs. Bowers probably presents this
play better than does any other star on
the American stage. From the begin
ming she secures the almost undivided
sympathy Of her audience. Mr.. ]. G.
McCollom as "Armaud Duval'' ap-
peared to good advantage, showing him.
self a careful and painstaking actor,
and n Of great merit.
The audience was large last night, as
also on previous evenings, and the re-
membrance of the excellent entertain
ments furnished by the strong combi-
nation will linger in the minds of all
who were fortunate enough to be pres
emit. The Forester troupe will soon re-
visit Cheyenne with somo of the best
talent in the country. Let them come;
they hold a secure corner in the affec-
tions of the people.
