Our usually quiet town had consid-
cradle excitement yesterday. About 4
O'Clock p. m. the cry of fire was sounded,
and upon investigation it was found
that Mr.. S~cribner's barn was on fire.
The barn contained about eighty tons
of hay, and was insured fer the full
amount. AS the crowd we're vending
their way home considerable excite
ment was caused by the running away
of Mr.. Geo. Bro WINS team. The wagon
was smashed to pieces, but otherwise
no further damage was done. In the
evening a shooting ARRAY took place,
which wound up the eventful day.

Should your hair commence falling
out or prematurely turn gray or should
there be itching and little pimples or
scabs formed on the head, all can be
eradicated by using Addoms & Glover's

hair tonic as a dressing; and for remov-
ing dandruff, it is without an equal.

~ TELLER, Colo, April z.
To Tie Editor Cheyenne LeGder.
sIR.-The article Of ssigma,D pub.
lished in your issue of the 18th ult.
has just reached this camp, and has
been read with much indignation by al
here, saving perhaps ''Sigma, {" its au.
thor, on account of its intense disre-
gard of the truth. Whoever ..Sigma''
is, he must be sore, for some reason;
perhaps he was engaged in some oecu-
patton, or wanted some kind of work
for the company, which they failed OF
refused to give him, and consequently
he feels grieved thereat. There are
many sore heads in this camp, who have
been marked by this company and need
never expect to get work or anything
else from the company.
As regards .'Sigma'sn assertion that
the N. +. q V. mining and smelling
company have misstated their financial
condition, I will simply say that he is
greatly mistaken, and knows he is. /
know the company does not owe cent
in the camp, or elsewhere, and they
have done all the work in the mines
that 1t was possible to contract for up
to this date, with the few good miners
in the camp. Now, they could posi-
bly, have let contracts to ''Jim Crow
miners, such as 1 suppose "sigma" to
be, but it was thought best to send out
and get miners who could do the work
as it should be done.
am in a condition to know of my
own knowledge that this company has
paid every man who ever did a cents
worth of work for them, in full, and
without having to wait a minute for il
after being due, and I also know tina.
they have money in the treasury to pay
for all the work they contract for, and
are now willing and anxious to let
more contracts on their mining proper
ty, as soon as a reliable man a be
found to do the work to the satisfaction
of the company. Work is now and has
been pushed on a number of the COM
pany's mines; the only work closed
down has been where contracts have
been completed. Any number of good
miners can get work here at good
wages, and sure of their pay from the
North Park & Vandalia mining and
smelling company, any day they arrive
here.
The following will show if this COM
pany pays its men or not:
We the undersigned have had and
are now engaged in contracts for the
North Park Sc Vandalia mining and
smelling company, whose Office is at
Teller, Colorado, and hereby certify
that we have received our pay on the
completion of the work, with prompt.
tude, and are willing to go to work for
said company at any time, and feel
sure of u pay, and have read ''Sig-
mas" artitle in the Cheyenne LEADER
of March Doth, and pronounce it false
in every particular, so far as it relates
ITO the North Park & Vandalia mining

Detroit free frehs.l
1t used to be all the fashion with
lecturers to have the mayor Of the
town or some other prominent citizen
introduce them to the audience as a
send off, and upon one occasion in the
years gone by, when the temperance
lecturer struck a certain town in
Michigan, not over fifty miles from
Detroit, the Mayor stood up before the
audience and began:
Ladies and-and-ladies and"
Gentlemen" whispered the lectu-
rer.
Eyes, Of course ladies and gentle
men: | have the honor to-te-I have

lecturer.
That's the checker. | have the
honor to introduce to you the nOto-

Here occurred another painful
pause, during which the Mayor walked
over and asked the lecturer his name.
"~Simpkins, was the reply.

repeated, as he walked back, 'the

How Massachusetts Soldiers Be
haVed at Richmond,

The commission sent to Richmond
and other points by the Governor OF
Massachusetts,, to ascertain whether
or not the statements concerning the
department Of the 9th regiment ofthat
State while upon a visit to Yorktown
we're true, has made its report. 1t
shows, as was to be expected, that
some of the stories of the misconduct
of the men were greatly exaggerated,
but it does fad that a number of the
priyates behaved in an offensive and
outrageous manner at Richmond.
They insulted girls upon the street,
stopped a lady in her carriage, kissed
wenches upon the highway, ordered
drinks for which they did not pay,
snatched up potatoes, cabbage, etc
from stands and pelted one another
Herewith, and generally behavs d
themselves in a way suggestive Of any
thing but propriety or discipline.
The citizensO OF Richmond sought rath,
er TO extenuate than to blame
them, but the evidence of the gross
misconduct OF many of the men was
too clear to admit Of doubt. Having
