We are informed that the school house
in District No. II is rather a delapidated
affair. 1t is built of sod, and the cattle
have torn nearly the whole of one side
out. There is no stove in this "temple Of
kno Wedge" and the teacher is compelled
10 build a ERE in one corner and the smoke
is allowed to Hoatpromiscuously about the
room. 1t is none Of our business, perhaps,
but that District ought to be wealthy
enough TO build a good school house.

Bro. Lindsay, Of the Anthony Rapubli-
can, says the editor of this paper possesses
considerable personal inspiration. Let
US see what Webster says: inspiration
is the supernatural influence OF the spirit
Of God, on the human mind, by which
pro phets, apostles and sacred writers were
qualified to set forth divine truth without
any mixture Of error; or the communion
ton OF the divine will to the understand
ing by suggestions or impressions on the
mind which leave no room to doubt the
reality of their supernatural origin. 1"
Many thanks, Bro.

INCIDENTS OF THE HUNT.-The first in
cident worthy Of note that ccurred dur
ing the recent trip into the Territory Of
some Of our townsmen, was Geo. Orner
riding bucking pony. The sight would
have drawn tears from an Egyptian mum
my. When Geo. descended from the AMI
mails back, he weighed just 56 pounds less
than when he mounted. Byerley and
Sample started out for bear hunt. The
former shot at one and wounded it. He
proposed that Ed. follow up the canyon
after the wounded animal, and he would
head it of. Sample thought he would
rather try the heading off busin ess. so
Byerley started on the bears trail. When
he arrived at the head Of the canyon, be
could just see E Us coat tails disappearing
over a hill about q mile away. That is
kind Of bear hunter Sample is.

T. L. Lindley has resigne the Office of
County Superintendent of Public Inst-uc-

pointed to Fill the vacancy. We think Mr..
Lindley did wise thing in resigning this
Office, as he has certainly been performing
his duties in anything but a credItable
manner, and the people of the county were
becoming tired of 1t. This is very i'm
portant office, and no man should be
elected to 6il 1t, who does not intend to
make it his business, and is not in every
way qualified. to FL it creditably. Mr..
Lindley did not desire the office, but the
Republicans nominated him, and he
would make the race just to show the
Democratic candidate how easily he could
get away with him; and the rank and file
of the party voted for him because he was
the Republican nominee. For our part,
we are very glad that Mr., Lindely re-
signed.

About two months since q man
named Nalsmith strayed from Lara
mic City, and his friends feared that be
had lost his mind and wandered away
and died of starvation. Vigorous
search was instituted but to no purpose.
He was last seen walking out Of Lara
mic City on the track, eastward bound.
Yesterday morning a ranchman liv-
ing at a point about nine miles east Of
Laramie City, and north of the track,
discovered the remains of a man neat
his corral. They were in an advanced
state of decomposition and the flesh and
clothing had been torn Off by coyotes.
A watch was found in the vest pocket,
Bearing the name of Naismith, and the
ranchman, knowing that such a man
had been lost, notified the orone of
Albany county.
The remains were conveyed to Lar
annie City and a corners jury was
being empannelled just as the LEADER's
informant left ON the train.
1t is probable that the deceased wan
dered of and died Of starvation within
sight Of a ranch which he was evidently
approaching for food, but he fell faint
and died before reaching snccor.f

Powers, one of the soldiers arrested
Thursday for breaking into Dan. Fal.
lens house and making themselves gen.
orally riotous, does not bear a very good
record at Fort Russell, and 1t is the
opinion among the officers there that
his punishment is not commensurate
with what he really deserves. Last year
when the troops were ordered out to the
Ute country, company &C." Of which
he was q member. was among those
called to duty, but for some reason, OBJ
vious to those acquainted with his char
acteristics, he saw no Utes, but re-
manned behind. 1t is when dealing
with just such offenders as he. that our
civil authorities have the full support
and hearty sympathy Of the military
officers.
