the death of most of the house plants
about town. Those in Conservatives,
however, are weathering the polar wave
nicely.
The telegraph wires in the northern
tier of territories and states were snap

has therefore been broken with many
important points.
The express trains on the U. p. road,
from the east and west, were late yes
terday; No. 8 being over six hours late.

treme cold weather and large trains
are the two causes.

insinuate that these saints are not alone

Wilhelmj sends a biographical sketch
of himself addressed to 1.-THE musical
editor of the LEADER" There isn't
much in the sketch, but a great deal
in the address. 1t is a question in this
Office who is the musical editor. Since
the senior editor allowed his voice to
go to seed, and the managing editor
fell down on his and broke it, and the
city. editor rasped his with a file in an
effort to improve it, but failed, and the
religious editor strained his at the Fort
Collins camp meeting, it is difficult to
determine who is the musical editor.
But for volume of sound and asinine
breadth of expression, the managing
editor takes the cake every time.
A man named John Geary, who is at
present in Jail in Denver on a charge

fell off the cars and had both legs
taken off. Geary finding him in that
condition, thrust his hand into the I'M
fortunate sufferers pocket and robbed
him of his watch and something yer
| $50 in money, then abandoned him to
die on the railroad track. The crime
was proved against him in the courts
of Allemeda county, and Geary de-
camped without the knowledge of his
bondsmen. Doubtless, as soon as his
Geary's term expires in the Denver jail
