fear of the police or the size of Father

mems of the feathered tribe, the prop
erty of Rev. Father Hayes. The mon
ster that murdered Nell Flagherty's

A fight occurred in the saloon under
the Simmons house, yesterday morning,
about some trivial occurrence, which
resulted In IL of the combatants being
numerically battered up. His face
was so swollen and disfgured last even
ing that it was almost impossible to
distinguish the features. After the
~fracas, it seems he wandered off and
lay down in u livery stable yard, and it
is reported that he vomited q large
quantity of blood. Both parties are
now in the c~alaboose.
One of the many journalistic friends(?)
of the local reporter of the Sun, is the
Omaha Herald. 1t says: ''Alphabet
Poulton, of the Cheyenne Sun, is not
wasting any money on photographs OF
himself, to be scattered over the coun-
try gr~atuitously on the pretense that
they were pictures of a humorist, as he
| did when he first came west. He has
more sense now. His ''self-respect''
finds sufficient outlet by merely placing
his name at the head of the local page
of his paper as local editor, the San
being the only sheet in the United
States that INDUCES in that sort OF
thing"

cry were at supper, last evening, a
drunken loafer named Harry Wilson,
who had been hanging around that
neighborhood a good portion of the day,
being thirsty and impecunious, con-
cluded TO walk off with n keg of beer.
He started with it, and had got to the
other side of the railroad track, when
it was missed and he was suspected OF
the theft. Inquiries revealed the fact
that he had gone in that direction, and
a search instituted, when he was found
hiding behind a snow fence, in COM
pany with the key. He ran, but the
pursuers soon caught up with him. He
now pines in the calaboose.
