fearful blow from the officer of the law
told him that he was not equal to the
occasion, and he was finally walked to
the calaboose.
He was taken before Judge Bean
yesterday and three separate charges
made against him, TO wit, resisting an
a officer, carrying concealed weapons
and creating a disturbance. To the
first charge he pleaded innocent, but
was found guilty and fined ST.. so; to
the second he pleaded guilty and was

l.. b. Federmeyer, a wheelbarrow
man who is walking against II. Lyman
Potter, will be in Cheyenne to-day from
the west. He left San Francisco on
the 9Th of December last, and is now
about 300 miles ahead of Potter, who
started east with him but has been
daily distanced. Federmeyer is a Ger
man, about 40 years of age, wears a
full rough beard, and possesses a re-
markable nature. The Laramie Times
says he talks English with difficulty
and has made very slow progress dur.
ing the past two weeks on account of
high winds. His wheelbarrow is sub
stantially constructed and is much
heavier than the one used by Potter,
who passed through Cheyenne west
bound last July. 1t is decorated with
two small flags and numerous adver-
tisements pasted on the sides. On the
top appears the words: "From San
francisco to New York; started De-
cember Sth." The pedestrian will
leave the Union Pacific railway at this
place and go to Denver, thence along
the Kansas Pacific road to st. Louis
and Cincinnati. From the latter named
place he will ''cut across lots" to
Gotham. And that is the way FEEDER
meyer is making u living.

PLEURo-PNEUMoNIA.
II Makes It's Appearance in the Chicago
Stock Yards.

The LEADER created considerable
excitement a few days ago, among
stock men and livestock dealers, by an
assertion that the Chicago stock yards
were infected with disease, and that
cattle passing through that city were
in danger Of being contaminated. We
received several letters in reply to our
statement, all making positive denials
of our assertion, and roundly abusing
the LEADER for its temerity in making
so unjust q charge.
We did not wish to enter into IA dis
cussion Of this important question, UNI
til we had obtained from reliable
sources a statement of the facts in the
case, and we therefore applied to a gen.
tleman residing in Chicago, whose posi-
tion enables him to get atthe inside of
things, as they are found to exist at the
Union stock yards Of Chicago. The
investigation Of this gentleman devel.
ops the facts that the United States
government, during last week, appoint
ed a medical inspector in the person O
DR.. II. ]. Detmars, whose duty it wa!
to thoroughly inspect every herd of cat
tie arriving or departing from TIN
stock yards in Chicago. He was re
requiredt to make a daily report TO tn,
collector OF customs, as 70 the genera
state Of health of the animals at thu
yards. Last Thursday DR.. Detmars
reported that he had discovered decided
evidences Of the existence of pleuro
pneumonia in the systems of two
slaughtered steers. hailing from Deca
tur, Ills. In his official report to Col
lector Smith, on the following day, DR.
Detmars officially announced the pres
ence Of the disease among the cattle al
the Union stock yards. Upon the re.
ception Of this report, a number Of ex
perts were dispatched to make a thor
ough investigation of the live stock
near Decatur, and for the present t.
prevent any further shipment of cattle
to the Chicago yards.
1t is not surprising that this repor,
has caused considerable excitement
among the cattle men Of the west, a.
it affects a trade so vital to their bust
ness. A thorough overhauling of tn,
Chicago yards should at once be made
and meanwhile our shippers SHOULD
look up other channels for the shipmen'
and marketing of their beef cattle. Il
wonld be well to p~atronize the stool
yards nearer home, and to consider tn,
propriety and expediency of establish
ing a beef packing house at some cen
trail point in this vicinity.
