DEATHofJUDGF FLETCHER.


 We were shocked and pained to read in the Little Rock daily papers of the 27th ut. the death of Judge Thomas Fletcher of Lincoln County. He was a noble mana cultured gentleman--a generous souled, so- ciable companion.
 Every pulsation of his heart was true to his State and to his friends. No one knew him but to respect and love him, and his sudden demise will bring a sigh of grief or Q tear drop of sadnesss from wide circle of friends throughout the State.
 The Gazette, the morning after his death, had this announcement of the sad event.
 It is with unspeaKable sadness and sorrow that we announce the sud den and unexpected demise of Judge Thomas Fletcher, who after an ex- ceedingly short illaess breathed his last in this city about ten o'clock yesterday morning.
 About week ago Judge Fletcher made 8 trip to Pine Bluff on G visit to his old friends and relatives of that city. On his return he con tracted severe cold which fell up- on his lungs, causing congestion that soon terminated his life. He was not sick more than three days, and none of his friends regarded him as being seriously llb until the night before his death. He was ministersd to in his last moments by kind and attentive friend, who watched by his bedside until the fast ebbing sands of life had com pleted tue measure of his earthly career.
 We have not the time nor date at hand to write an extended memoir of the life and character of the de ceased-at some future time that friendly duty will be be performed. I w C Sah Ouiy SeJ ho" oh@' oN"o> Fletcher was in every sense true ge atleman, faithful friend and agreeable companion. He was uni. versally respected and beloved, and died, we believe, without leaving behind him an enemy on earth. Judge Fletcher had filled many high and responsible positions of public trust, freq uently representing his county and district in the state legislature, and at one time was act ing governor of the state. He had a cultivated mind, was fond of literary pursuits and great friend of tho newspaper press, of which he was an honorary and useful member He had many warm and devoted friends attached to him in thls city, who are deeply grieved at his sud den taking off and who will long mourn their irreparable loss.

President Hayes has issued the following proclamatlons
 By the President of the United States of America-A Proclamation
 Whereas, it has become known to me that certain etil-disposed persons have, within the territory and juris- diction of the United States, begun aud set on foot preparations for an organized and forcible possession and settlement of lands, of what is known as Indian Territory, west oi the State of Arkansas, which Terri. tory IS designated, recognized and described by treaties and laws of the United States, and by the authori ties of the Indian country, and as such IS orly subject to occupation by Indian tribes and officers of the In dian department, of military posts and such persons as may be privilig- ed to reside or trade therein, under the course of the laws of the United States; and, whereas the laws pro vide for the removal of all persons residing and trading therein withou, the express permission of the Indi- an departments and agents, and also of all persons whom such agents may deem to be improper persons to reside in the Indian country; and whereas, in aid and support of such organized movement il has been represented that no further action will be taken by the government to prevent per sons from gong into said Territory and settling therein, but such rep resentations are wholly without au thority.

Cheyenne has one manufacturing es-
tablishment Of which her people may
well be proud-we refer 10 the Chey-
enne carriage works, Mr.. n. Robert
son, proprietor. Our reporter visited
these works yesterday, and found a
large number OF wagons and carriages
ready to he delivered to parties who
had ordered them. Among the many
fine vehicles, one. in particular, ar
tracted u attention ; 1t Is a six
seated, extension-top phaeton, beauti-
fully finished, and handsomely trimmed
In broadcloth, with spring back and
spring cushions. This phaeton has the
patent Henry self-lubricatipg axles, and
all the other latest improvements known
to the carriage makers art. Mr.. T.. w.
Whitcomb Is the fortunate owner Of
this beautiful carriage /; he will enjoy
the proud consciousness that he has the
finest, most costly and best finished
family carriage in Wyoming territory.

certainly re-lie-able. Our friend felt
confident even when he reached the
Little Laramie river, and wrote Us from
that point, saying that the large party
OF ~prosPectOrs would be AT the mines In
a few days. The letter referred to
came from Pinkham's ranch, and con
tains the following language: 1.-THE
crowd are cutting through the snow,
and win get to the mines Ia dLOta a
month, u they pork hard"
We learned from a passenger from
Laramie City yesterday that several
outfits returned To Laramie City. after
experiencing n terrible time with the
snow.
However, the fact remains that the
route Is not open, and progress to the
mines by team will be delayed for sew
eral weeks yet, until the sun melts away
the snow. Prospectors who think OF
going Ia the Park will be wise enough
10 guide themselves accordingly.
There is no open road 10 the Park.
Both have snow on them. The Lara
mic route has seventy miles Of snow to
wallow through. while there ARE only
twenty miles OF snow on the Cheyenne
route. Besides, the Cheyenne route Is
much the shorter. The mail-carrier is
paid for carrying the mail from Lara
mic City to Tyner, a distance Of l25
miles. The very outside length OF the
Cheyenne route To the same point is
only 95 miles, n difference in our favor
OF 20 miles, or n days travel. At the
meeting TO lie held tonight, the subject
OF opening up route Is TO be taken
up, and we hope the conclusion will be
TO send in enough paid men and volun-
teers 10 do the work.
Then WI can have n direct route of
our own, and have n freight line estab-
lished thereon, before the prospectors
now struggling at Pinkham's can get
within sight of Lead mountain.
