TaE counr.

The district court convened yesterday
morning at Q o'clock. Judge ]. B. 6ener
on the bench.
The following business was done:
The court delivered is opinion in the
case Of Roche, Piunkett q Co. VS.. Sea-
right Bros, sustaining the motion Of
the defendants attorney to strike out
certain matter from the plaintiffs pc
tition as being redundant and irrele-

An order was entered for the publica-
ton of summons against C. A. Hoyt.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-11-29

In an extended article upon the
future railroad into the Hills the Dead
wood Times quite properly connects
Cheyenne with the plan, and says:
The stock interests of Wyoming ter
ritor3 center in that city, and ii Is no
exaggeration to say but few places on
the continent can show more wealth or
have greater prospects of a solid anan-
cial future.
Trade is sensitive, and the first les
son TO be learned in the hornbook Of
commerce is that trade don't have to go
to any particular locality, especially
when a hundred miles of railroad offer
equal advantages Oh any portion of its
line. For various reasons, the causes
of which lay mainly in the inertness of
Cheyenne merchants, the Black Hills
trade left that city, and to-day there is
neither stage or freight line reaching
that place from the Hills. II Cheyenne
intends to be other than an outpost,
where men accumulate means and then
remove 1t and themselves to Denver, it
would be q good idea to en-
larging its influence by again making
an effort to the Black Hills
trade.
The great need Of the Hills Is railroad
communication; for merchandise trans
ported by teams is slow, uncertain and
expensive. We believe a railroad from
Cheyenne to Deadwood, or even a few
miles further to the coal banks. would
be an investment worthy the attention
of any company. Cheyenne voted
bonds for a line to Colorado, which was
already tapped and Slapped by other
lines, the commercial reward of which,
even though every dollar Of business
bad come to Cheyenne would have been
but q drop in the bucket compared to
the great trade of the Hills. A north
and south line must be built sooner or
later. We command these suggestions
to the serious consideration of the live
men of the Magic City.

Something Of q sensation was created
Sunday morning by the Sudden appear
snce upon the open street Of q a en-
tirely in the garb OF nature. and
who paraded along the thoroughfare
with all the nonchalence imaginable.
As he sauntered down the street.
Constable Nolan and Ohicer Smith
started in pursuit and captured HIM,
not however until Smith received q
blow which nearly downed him. At
the suggestion that the first thing that
should be done should be to get a
blanket or something to relieve the
sameness of his apparel, the fellow ex-
~postulated with mo, no, dou't do that;
Christ RAJ crueiGed in a blanket, and
I don't want to be crueifed."
Covering was had, however, and
through the exertions Of six or seven
men, the fellow was taken TO less con-
spicuous quarters In the county jail.
When taken into his cell he could not
be persuaded TO clothe himself, but re-
manned 10 a nude state until yesterday
morning. when be arrayed himself in a
civilized garb.
Inquiry discovers that his name is
George w. Hotchkiss. He Is a dis
charged soldier, but later has been
working in the country at his trade,
that Of q carpenter. He has been
thought Eighty for some time, his mind
seeming moved by a conglomeration Of
strange ideas concerning religion and
Free Masonry. On a previous occasion

state into the snow, knelt and COM
menced praying. but when his friends
came out after him he broke away and
ran q long distance to a neighboring
ranch, giving the occupants a serious
fright at the strange apparation.
He came into town, and Saturday
night was In Goldacker's barber shop
for a shave. and said he would get
some clean underclothing and come in
again for a bath. He visited the cloth
ing store Of Marks 8 Myers and made
a purchase of an o~vercoat and some
other articles Of clothing. and Sunday
morning went to the bath rooms, from
which be rushed in the condition
found.
1t is undoubtedly another example Of
"crank-ism, - as lamentable as 1t is I'M
explainable. The fellow vas but very
little more rational yesterday. and still
remains at the county jail under medi-
cal care.
