OUR CATTLE RANGES.

49,
The fact that Dillon & Barton, of
North Platte, are locating 5000 head
of cattle on Tongue river, Wyoming,
again proves what the LEADER claimed
last spring would take place, viz: the
removal of western Nebraska cattle
men to Wyoming. The losses in Ne
braska last winter were SO severe that
cattle men couldn't stand a repetition.
So, to avoid disaster, they are coming
to the very best ranges in the west-in
Wyoming. Here the losses were slight,
for the natural protection afforded cat
tie and the remarkably even climate
have rendered the business here more
safe and pI oductive than elsewhere.
Even Colorado was forced to draw on
Wyoming for beef cattle early in spring
before her own stock recovered from
the effects of the hard winter.
Thousands of Nebraska cattle have
preceded those now on the way 10 Tongue
river, and thousands more will soon fol-
low. Come along, stockmen; there is
plenty of room. The very best ranges
are not taken up yet.
The Laramie Times concludes that
the next legislature couldn't do better
than change the names Of the counties
of Laramie and Albany counties. 1t
says:
"One of the things the coming legis-
lature should do, should be to rename
the counties in which Cheyenne and
Laramie City are situated. 1t is now
a subject of constant confusion. There
is no appropriateness in calling our
county Albany. 1t is not in any sense
a local name, nor is there any reason
why Laramie should be given to the
county in which Cheyenne is situated.
1t was a mistake when the old county
was divided, that the eastern part
should have remained the same. The
new should have been called Laramie,
as both Laramie City and Laramie riv-
er are in this county, and the present
Laramie county could be called Chey-
Inc We suppose as our neighbors
have such a foolish antipathy to the
very name of Laramie they will have
no objection to the change. They can
be Cheyenne all over, and will not
abuse their own county when they call
Laramie names"
The stories going the rounds of the
press concerning the existence of a
Sioux child, supposed to be the daugh-
ter of Gen. Sully, reminds a contem-
porary of a circumstance that came
under his observation several years ago
at Fort Laramie, when a large number
of Sioux Indians were always around
the post. A squaw bearing a very fine
looking white faced child in her arms,
happened to be in the suffers store.
The California coach came along and
all the passengers alighted. Among
the number was a pious looking old
lady who seemed deeply interested in
the Indians welfare, commenced pat
ting the pale-faced baby and enquiring-
ly said to the mother, "soldiers?''
"Nol" replied the red face, in rather
an %ungracious Tone missionary"
The good old lady sought no further
information.
The Sun of yesterday details n re-
case, that will greatly inter-
est the medical and scientific world.
1t speaks of Mr.. T. Martin, who was
shot in Deadwood the
other day, and says he is recovering.
The wound is beneath the forehead, and
the Sun says: "As yet no information
has set in" That's the diagnosis of
the SIM local exactly. He has been
in the snoot, and has had a head
put on him, but ''as yet no information
has set in" and it is to be hoped that
he will DOL entirely without
being troubled with information"
The Greatest Show Comes Crowned
with Compliments.
OF the wonderfully immense and
attractive Great European Seven
Elephant railroad menagerie and circus
of the princely Sells Brothers will reach
Cheyenne by its own superb special
trains on Thursday, Sept. A, the Gin
cinnati Daily Enquirer emphatically
declares that it exceeds in both size,
novelty and expense, anything of the
kind heretofore attempted, and includes
among other noticeable features, seven
elephants, the largest number aver ex-
hibited by any one menagerie." No
other tent entertainment ever received
such an uureserved Endorsement from
the Inquirer, and the keynote of COM
pliment it thus emphatically struck is
echoed by the press throughout the
length and breadth of the land, with
the discord of a single harsh or con-
criticism. From this un-
but unquestionably fully de-
served, grand chorus of praises, we
select the following notes.
The show is the best now on the road.
