We had intended to say nothing on
the subject of the unmentionable
wrongs that were inflicted upon the
captive women of the hostile Utes,
although we possessed some knowledge
of the facts for several weeks past.
We had thought that as long as the
poor women were endeavoring to out
live the horrors of their captivity and
settle down to the comforts and peace
of life, it were better not to mention
their sad experience. But the truth is
out. The evidence now in possession
of the commission, and which has all
along been kept secret, is leaking out.
The result is that the people Of the
west are become determined that
punishment must be visited upon the
guilty Utes. If the government fails
in its duty the people must undertake
to remedy the deficiency.
Having once started, the word will
fly from mouth to mouth until the
whole western people will learn Of the
horrors Of Indian captivity. 1t is to
be regretted for the sake of the women,
that the new has spread. But it will
only serve to awaken public opinion to
the enormities of the Ute outbreak,
and cause it to demand ample and
Justice.

How 70 Meet Responsibnliies.

Never anticipate difficulties by bring
ing them forward yourself, but be ready
at every point fairly to meet them when
presented, by insuring your life in the
mutual of New York;
If you die uninsured, with your debts
unpaid, where will your family be? but
If you assure and die your creditors
may be paid ut once.
Many q one says that he is well off
without insurance, but how often do
the rich become poor?
Some persons have religious ~scruples
against life insurance. Scripture does
not forbid, but teaches insurance and
prudence.
Some people object to life insurance
because it is expensive; Is cents a day
in n year amounts to S54. 10; this sum
will secure a life policy for n man aged
"a, in the sun Of 80, 500, and If he
should live to a good age the amount to
be paid yearly would be very small and
the value of the policy would be largely
increased.
Some persons refuse to insure for fear
that they will be unable to continue
their payments, or may lose all that
they put in. Have you not had the
value of your money in the risk as in a
fire policy? And better. N~on-forfeit-
ure, which is n of the features of the
Mutual Life prevents the possibility
Of losing what is put in.
Please remember that the Mutual
Insurance company of New York, is the
largest and best life insurance company
in the world, and defies successful con-
tradiction. 1t is also the cheapest, be-
cause it pays the largest dividends. For
further information, circulars. blotters,
etc, ETC., apply at 30S Ferguson street,
Cheyenne.
j. w. BRuNER, Agent.
Also bear in mind that the best bust
ness men and financiers Of Cheyenne
have taken $751; 800 insurance in said
company in the past 65 days, and there
is now over $780, 900 insured in said
company in Cheyenne.
At Burners you will also find the
Travellers of Hartford,n the largest
accidental company in the world, and
the choicest fire insurance companies
represented anywhere. d27-8t

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-12-28

A fire broke out this morning about
l O'Clock in the rear of a building on
Sixteenth street, formerly occupied as a
saloon called the ''Corn Exchange"
but more recently inhabited by some
Cinnamon as a ''washee" house. The
fire was evidently the work of an in
c%endiary, as the structure was unin-
habited. The blaze was extinguished
with a few buckets Of water, without
the aid OF the fire companies, though
they were promptly IN hand.
The property is owned by Mr.. NJ. A.
Arnold, and was damaged more by the
bursting in of the doors to reach the
destroying element than by the fire.
The firemen had scarcely done hous-
ing their apparatus when another alarm
was sounded. This time flames were
issuing from the rear of the old Hick-
land house, a frame structure on Seven
teenth street, four doors east of the
p~ostofice. They were soon extinguished
by N and water. The fire depart
ment was again promptly on hand, but
did not go into service. An incendia-
ry undoubtedly caused the fire.
