Something for the Curious.

A gentleman who recently made
journey through Garrett county in
forms us that at the farm OF Mr..
Boucher, near Grantsville, he came
across a genuine curiosity. 1t was
large stepping stone in use at Mr..
Boucher's spring. Upon its surface
was the distinct impression of the
bark of forest tree and the imprint
of a foot. supposed, from its size and
fairness, to have belonged to an In
dian. The impressions are deep, de-
cided and plain. The theory is that
the Indian stepped on the stone and
the bark was pressed against it years
ago when it was in the shape of soft
sand. A collector of curiosities has
already tried to obtain the specimen,
but Mr.. Boucher declines to part
with it. Mr.. Boucher also has a
stone containing petrified snake

often liberal in this regard with peo-
pie who are liberal with us. People
often come around showing us things
that they expect to make money out
of, and that they want us to notice,

ARE BOYS aABt
ma Law as Laid Bows ~ High Az,
tksnfy-Ae~ RATES.

~
Things are seldom what they seem"
says Little Buttereup in that rare and
rollicking opera, "Pinafore." The
longer one lives the stronger does this
truth become. Now, here in Cheyenne,
for instance, it has been the impression
that there is a gang or two of very bad
boys. Certain thefts, malicious acts
and petty deyiltry have been committed
in the city from time to time land laid
TO the charge of these incoirigible boys.
Even several arrests were made; the
boys were tried and convicted and
several served out their sentences of
imprisonment.
But there seems to be a fearful mis-
take somewhere. The officers of the
law have been all wrong. They have
misjudged their mission in doing their
duty under the law. Those boys were
not guilty. The boys who are charged
with evil, are entirely innocent. And
there are no bad boys here that need
correction or punishment.
1t was only the other day that Mar
shall Carr, and Officers ingalls, and
Thomson rounded up several boys who
were suspicioned of breaking the win
dows Of dwellings and stoning elderly
men. The suspicion was so strong that
upon trial the boys were convicted and
fined under a city ordinance. Those
citizens who were acquainted with the
facts thought that proper justice was
done the boys. But 1t seems that they
were wrong. The officers were wrong;
the police justice was wrong; the people
were wrong; the boys were-innocent.
At least the highest authority in the
city government says SO, and he ought
to know. What he doesn't know would
ill several thousand volumes.
By his decision there are no incor-
rightly wicked boys in Cheyenne. They
are hereby legislated into good boys,
and II they are bad. they are men.
But ''all boys are good" Thus is the
law laid down. j.
Inc highest civil authority alluded to
has gotten up a set of rules for the guild
ance of the police force, which is re-
printed here for the benefit of the pub
lie. Hence, when you see a boy COM
nit a crime in sight Of an officer, and
he isn't arrested, you can attribute the
fact to the following rules. For the
convenience Of the force, his honor has
embellished his printed rules with an
| appropriate cut as follows:
