The lottery bill which passed a Sec

was either lost or stolen, and a big sem
sation is the result. This fact calls to
mind the loss or theft of the famous fee

Mr.. Cameron, who, for long time
drove tho U. p. express wagon, went to
Montana last summer, and invested his
carefully saved money in n band of
sheep. In one storm he lost 600 head.
Thus persisted the savings of years. In
Wyoming no similar losses to sheep
have occurred.
Mr.. c. II. Countryman, Of Sherman,
is putting mp a lapidary shop in the old
English house. He will cut all sorts of
native and foreign stones. Mr.. James
Thompson has brought in a large load
Of agates from the Chugwater, on which
the lapidary will at orce 60 to work.
We wish Mr.. Countryman success.
Snow abounded on all the roads yes
terday. Besides the blockade on the
U. p, noted elsewhere. there were
several bad drifts on the g. q. and d.
p. On the former road a plow pre-
ceeded the passenger train, and the
pillow got stuck in the snow several
times, the passenger engine going for
ward and helping it out. On the d.
p. the drifts were not quite 80 heavy,
but they were more numerous.
The soldier bold and maiden hilarious
f-George Bennett and Mollie Martel-
who made Rome howl-no; Cheyenne
-on Saturday evening last, were
brought up before Justice Bean yester-
day morning and fined Sl3 and costs
each. They failed to pay and are Ian
gushing in Jail in consequence. The
soldier got off comparatively easy for
his share of the devilmcnt, but he will
doubtless get sufficient punishment by
court martial when Sheriff Sharpless
let's him go.
We would call the attention of our
readers to Mr.. S. ii. Bosworth's adj
veItisement in this issue. Mr.. b. is
the proprietor of the only hotel at
Sherman, 90 miles west of Cheyenne.
Ill health compels him TO give up the
| very profitable business in which he Is
at present engaged, and to dispose of
his property at that point. There are
at present a large number Of men en-
ployed at Sherman in preparing for the
| Ames monument, which number will
be largely increased soon. All the ar
tisans engaged n.this work board at
Bosworth's hotel, and q large portion
of the $40 900 to be expended in the
construction Of the monument, will be
| paid out for the board of the employees.
The passenger trains Of the Union Pa
cific stop at Sherman ten minutes to
enable the passengers to see the .'high-
est point and they generally call at
Bosworth's for something to eat, and
the mixed trains, which stop there 80
minutes, bring u large trade TO the
house. All things considered, Bos-
worth's hotel is the best paying prop.
erty in this section, and his offer to
sell will probably receive the attention
OF mary would-be purchasers, who ap-
preciate a good bargain and desire to
make a profitable investment.
