Curious to know just what previous acQuaint-

that he had no love for Henry. and would be

OBITUARY..

ROBERT c. RANKIN.
News was received yesterday Of the death, ut
Wyoming, Hamilton County, OHIO, at 6 O'Clock,
at the home of his sister, OF Robert G. Rankin,
one OF the Oldest attaches Of the Chicago Office
Of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and
one Of the best known tclegraphers in the
Northwest. MIR. Rankin, who was born in Ohio,
came to this city along about 1S49, and was en-
DloYed as IN operator either In the Office OF the
Speed line, the first one which came into the city,
or OF the oReillf lines, which soon succeeded
for the Illinois l. Mississippi lines, which >swal-
lowed ub' a good many OF the preliminary at
tempts at telegraphing 10 this State, and about
1867 or 1858 became the manager OF the local
office OF the illinois t. Mississipptlines, and con-
tinued In that position after the last-named cor
poratton was absorbed by the Western Union.
During the War, in addition to holding this
position, he Was AssociAted-Press agent for the
Eastern, Western, und California Associations,
and also ran the commercial news business, as
from its old quarters at the southeast corner
OF Clark and Lake Streets to those which the
Western unionoccupied at the time OF the fire,
on the northwestern corner OF LaSalle aud
the fire, when, on account Of his habits, which
had become very bad, 1t WAS necessary to drop
him. He remained victim to ipte1n perance for
some time, but finally made a desperate, per-
sstent, and successful effort TO redeem him
self, and went back into the employ Of the
Western Union, though In subordinate
position. He kept straight ahead until last
summer, when he had a paralytic stroke,
since which time he had been steadily falling.
On the 7th Of last month the boys in the oflcp
made uu d pursc OF $3.50 and sent him home t.
his sister in Wyoming, hoping that freedont
from work and change OF air would improve
him. 1t did not, however, as he died yesterday
us stated. Mr.. Rankin, while In his prime, was
q man of great executive ability. He vas the
"A man to whom they all looked up,
whom they all consulted, and whom
they all conside2ed an authority. He was
1 kindly, courteous gentleman, who had atoued
for the errors and faults that bad ruined bis lift,
and will be remembered only with sorrow and
tenderness. He was about 50 years OF age, aud
leaves no family.

The Capture of Douglass.

'Plug'' very kindly sends us a COM
m%unication from Green River, giving
an account of the sentence of "Taunty''
Bowen, and the capture of Al. Doug
lass. AS the facts in the premises have
already appeared in these columns, our
accommodating correspondent will par
don US for emitting his letter. We are
much obliged all the same, and trust
'.Plug'' will not weary in well doing.
There is one point, however, in
''Plug's" communication which proves
that the LEADER was in error when it
stated that Boswell, of Laramie City,
captured Douglass, the desperate.
Such was not the case. The credit,
therefor, is due to Sheriff Johnson.
Our correspondent says:
Sheriff johnson heard of Douglass
and party being neal Fort Washable.
Court being in session, he could not
go, but he sent n body of men, under
Charles Campbell, to capture them if
possible. A severe hail storm prevent
ed them from accomplishing all they
wished, but they were successful in
getting the leader, Douglass. When
the outlaw was brought in he did not
deny his name. lie is now safely
lodged in Jail.

Good Words Fifty Spoken.

"Minnehaha" has ar exceedingly in
teresting letter in a recent issue of the
Cuero (Texas) Bulletin, and from
which W. are permitted to CLEAN the
following extracts:
The snow storms here answer n
double purpose in furnishing moisture
for the grass and water for the cattle.
They are always accompanied with
more or less wind, which causes tile
snow to drift, leaving the grass ex-
posed, which accounts for the mainte-
nance Of cattle during the winter
months.
The streams, which have their course
in the mountains, never fail to yield an
abundant supply of water for stock and
other purposes.
Cheyenne is the center of commerce
for a large scope of country--is sustained
by the cattle interest and boasts of
much wealth. 1t contains two flour
ishing banks, which represent quite Il
mine of wealth, and is frightened by
the illuminating rays which eminate
from prosperous papers.
There are three or four elegant jew
elry establishments, splendid dry goods,
grocery, hardware, furniture, clothing
and drug stores. The place contains a
public reading room, kept up by the
more philanthropic ladies of the city.
1t is attractive, and keeps many from
communicating influences. There are
six churches in Cheyenne, under the
ministration of popular and intelligent
| ministers.

Greater Honors Awaiting Him

Assistant Postmaster General Tyner,
who passed through Cheyenne on Fri
day en- route for the Pacific coast, is a
native of Indiana, where he was born
in 1926. He is therefore on the shady
side of life. Gen. Tyner was in public
life several years prior to his connec-
ton with the present administration.
In 1860 he was a presidential e~lector,
and rendered efficient services by
speaking in behalf of the election OF
Lincoln and Hamlin. From 1S61to 1866
he was a special agent for the p~ostofice.
He served three terms in the lower
branch of the national Legislature from
the Peru, Indiana, district, and is one
of the ablest lawyers in the country.
Gen. Tyner is a rising man. His mer.
its entitle him to a still greater recog.
milton at the hands of the people Of
Indiana.
