Cattle Carriers.

Judge Blodgett, of the United States
supreme court, has rendered a very i'm
portant decision against the Michigan
Central railroads with regard to the con-
tracts and liabilities which railroads as
sumo in carrying cattle. He takes the
ground that railroads are bound to see
that proper transfers are made at term
inalpoints. The suit was brought to
recover the value of two shipments of
400 head of cattle from Chicago to
Philadelphia on a receipt which was
treated as a bill of lading, filed out
"Consigned to Paris Myrick." The
defendants held that its contracts only
compelled it to come to Detroit, the end
of its line, and that its obligation was
duly performed, when it delivered the
cattle to the connecting carrier there,
or that if 1t vas responsible for the
whole transportation, its undertaking
was fully performed when it delivered
the cattle to the north Philadelphia
drove yards company. The judge in
structed the jury that the first road re-
ceiving the cattle was liable for the safe
delivery of the same to the point of
destination, and under these instruc-
tions the jury found a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff and assessed the damages

"TAuNTY" BOWEN.
A Former Citizen OF Cheyenne Sent up
for Ten Years.

"Taunty" Bowen, the tramp printer
who shot Judge Bradbury at Green
River last fall, has been sentenced to
serve ten years in the pe~nitentiary at
Lincoln, Nebraska. Bowen was a
Texas desperate, and killed a mar
there several years ago. From the
Lone Star State he fled to Mississi ppi,
where he soon became involved in trou.
BILE, and murdered two men against
whom he entertained a dislike. He
next appeared on the surface in Denver.
There he made threats of killing a
brother printer, but for soma reason
failed to attempt the deed.
While in Denver he stabbed a man
who recovered sufficiently to at
tend to his business, but finally died
from his wounds. Leaving Denver he
came to Cheyenne and ''subbed'' on the
LEADER and Sun, but his general con-
duct was Of such a character as to rem
der his room preferable to his company.
He went from Cheyenne to Green
River, and without cause sought the
life of Judge Bradbury, one of the best
citizens of that town. Fortunately the
judges wound wa not fatal. 1t was
fortunate for Bowen as well, for lynch
law would have been resorted to by the
indignant Green Riverites, If Bradbury
had died.
Dill H. James, who came to Chey-
enne from the west a couple of days
since, informs us that when Bowen re-
ceived his sentence he weakened" con-
siderably, and after being conducted
back to jail admitted to having COM
mitted six murders prior to making his
debut in the Rocky mountain region.
Bowen is eensumptive, and pretty well
used up on general principles-the re-

gregated 90, a loss of three points. The
wyoming team scored before, 81; to-
day, "a, a loss of seven points. But on
the last two rounds, the members of
the Wyoming team put in good marks,
as the detailed score above shows, and
thus they won the match.
Cheering and congratulations follow
ed the announcement of the result.
Then Mr.. Jackson, on behalf of the
Wyoming team, handed to Maj. Ferris
the handsome medal to be awarded 70
the member of his team making the
best average. 1t was ascertained that
the winner of the prize was Corporal
L. p. Lowe, who scored 80 out of a pos
sible 100 in the two matches. Maj.
Ferris, in a few appropriate words,
presented the medal to the corporal.
The umpire was DIR. M. c. Barkwell;
and the scorers were Justice T. NJ
Fisher, for the Wyoming team, and J.
G. Mills for the Fourth infantry
team.
At the conclusion of the rifle match
the members of the Fourth infantry
team, announced that they were ready
to challenge any team, provided they
be allowed to use the Freund's improv-
ed Sharps rifle. They believe them
serves the best marksmen, but their
guns are faulty. 1t was conceded by
everybody who witnessed the match
that the Sharps rifle, with Freund's
improvement, is the best arm in exist
ence. As this is a Cheyenne produc-
tion, it is a matter of pride to note the
fact.

FOURTH INFANTRY TEAM.
TEAM.

1t will be observed that this is a very
good record. At the previous match
the Fourth infantry team scored 10
points more than the Wyoming team at
the 200 yards range. The total score
at this range then "a to so. But only
five shots each were fired, while to-day
seven shots were allowed. Taking, for
the purpose of comparison, the first
five shots of each team to-day, we find
the record to be 50 to 81 in favor of the
Wyoming team, a gain for this team of
10, and a loss of three points for the
Fourth infantry team.
After the teams and visitors partook
of lunch, firing commenced at the long
range. The general confidence in the
Sharps' rifle Invested the spectators of
undue excitement. 1t wa fully believ-
ed that with the score even at 200 yards
the Wyoming team would win by from
ten to fifteen points. The result justi-
fed this conclusion, as the score showed
up as follows:

SOLID SHOTS.
PERFoRATING THE TARGET
Return Rifle Match Between the
Fourth Infantry and Wyoming
Rife Teams-The
Wyoming Wins. '

and the many ladies and gentlemen of
of the military post and Of the city,
who were intent on witnessing the rifle
match, at once set about making az
engagements to go. Eleven o'clock wa
the hour fixed for the teams to begin
perforating the bulls eyes, on the
range at Major Talbot's place, but long
before that hour the range was dotted
with visitors. The Wyoming team had
caused to be erected tents with seating
capacity for the visitors, while it was
generally understood that when the
time of hunger arrived, the same team
would set forth a spread, not quite
equal to a banquet of the gods, perhaps,
but a good substantial lunch that would
satisfy and please both the visitors
and members of the teams. 1t is almost
needless to say that afterwards every
body did his best to get away with the
feast.
A glance at the character of the
sight-seers justified the belief that the
IOyal oPOib Va ~ oiOObibk ZIG q kOOu
place in the estimation Of the best
classes. And why not? At the annual
| rifle contests at Creedmoor the best peo-
pie of both sexes assemble, and the en-
couragement they give by their pres
ence and words and acts of commenda-
ton have always served to influence
the teams to deeds of greater conquest.
In England, Scotland and Ireland, the
representative rifle teams are under the
patronage of the nobility who are al
ways present in force at contests. In
deed, a young nobleman considers it an
achievement equal to the winning of a
parchment from Elton, or Oxford, or
Cambridge, to gain a place on a rifle
team.
1t is natural then, that II best peo-
pie on the frontier should regard this
great sport in the light which its i'm
p~ortance deserves. 1t is removed from
all faint of gambling, the contestants
being gentlemen contrasting in a gentle
manly way for superiority Of nerve, eye
sight and judgment. The exercise brings
into play the finer and more sensitive
physical qualities of the men, as well as
close, discriminating judgment. The
interest in the contest so heightens that
each man infuses himself, as it were,
into his rifle, and the target marks his
worth. While the spectators, eve alb
sorbed with interest, and gazing
intently at the men and the targets al
~ternately, find themselves gratified
beyond expectation with the noble
sport.
OF the membership of the two con
testing clubs, we may say in passing,
that they embrace some of the best
gentlemen of the military post and of
Cheyenne.
To-day's match was justly regarded
with greater interest on account of
the close score at the first contest last
week, which resulted in a score of $50
to 149 in favor of the Wyoming team.
Owing to unavoidable delays it was
twelve o'clock before the shooting be-
gan. A LEADER reporter IA on
hand, and as soon as the firing ceased
at the 200 yards range, he dispatched
the score to headquarters, which is as
follows:
