The Northern States of Mexico
have recently united in demand up
on the Federal Government of Mexico
that iona Libra, or free belt. shall be
extended to the Pacific, covering the
entire border Of the United States. II
now extends from the Gulf of Mexico
along the Rio Grande about half way
to the Pacific coast When this pro.
posal came to the knowledge of the
United States Government, Minister
Morgan was instructed to protes,
against il on tho ground that iona
Libra made smuggling easy. 1t is
understood that Romero is, or soor
will be, on his way to Washington
with authorities to enter upon neeoti
atoms for a reciprocal treaty will
Mexico. If such treaty is consum
mated, it is believed that one Of it
important features will be the abolish
mcnt Of the iona Libra.

Congressman Belford, of Colorado,
has introduced a bill to provide for
leasing the public lands in tracts of
5000 acres to any one person for a
period not exceeding twenty years.
The bill is said to be intended to pre-.
vent further donations of the public
lands to corporations, and to encour-
4ge cattle and sheep raising and pro-
tect those engaged in the business
1t is not stated in the brief dispatch
relating to the bill what the rent is to
be, but it must be q mere nominal
amount or persons would buy the
land outright at $l.25 per acre, in
stead of renting it. An exchange
says if the act applies to Nevada i
will give few persons monopoly o
the grazing land, as by leasing trac
where there are springs or small
streams they can prevent others from
using the water and thereby exclude
them from the range.

Murder Mt washaitie.

The following special was received
by the Laramie Boomerang:
Fort Washable, Wyo., April ia
shooting ARRAY occurred at this place
at 1880 this afternoon, in which A. V,
Miller shot James Drais, better known
rs Colorow Bill.
The particulars of the affair, as We
learn them, are as follows:
Miller was throwing a rope which
accidentally struck Drais on the head
A quarrel ensued, when Drais picked
up a stick of wood and struck Miller.
The latter then struck Drais over the
head with his six shooter. Drais
walked into the engine house, saying
he would fix Miller, repeating the re
mark several times. He got his six
shooter, and as he went to shoot, Mil,
Ter, who was standing in the doorway
of the engine house, fred, hitting hin
in the neck. The wounded man fell
with his pistol at half cock. Miller
took No. IA for Rawlins, where he ex-
poets to give himself up, claiming that
the shooting was done in self-defence.
Later-.Drais died ut 2:30.

RAILROAD RACKET.
Concerning tho Laramie and Norlh
Park Railroad.

A Boomerang representative had a
conversation yesterday with Contractor
Griffin, who assisted in running the
branch line of road out to the soda
lakes, and CLEANED some facts regard
ing it which will be of interest. Mr..
j.. T. Clark has issued orders to at once
even up the grade on this branch ana
place the track in number one condi-
very soon. Mr.. Griffin says that the
company wants to complete the road to
Teller, North Park, this spring, but
that owing to the fact SC large a force
of men are required to work their other
extensions, it may not be done until
fall. Contractors object to coming here
when they can get work OF the other
branches, for the reason that this jok
would be completed in two or three
months and then they would lose two
or three weeks time transferring their
outfits to some other point, whereas, if
they commenced work now on either of
the other branches, they are sure of
steady employ ment all summer. The
road. however, is sure to be completed
to Teller before next winter. Ties have
been ordered, and most of them are
now ready. Work is still going on in
Boulder canon, this side of Fort Col
Inns, it being the intention to tap the
Laramie and North Park line with this
branch somewhere in this edge of the
park. Eventually, this will be the main
line. All heavy freight and passenger
traffic will leave what is now the main
line of the Union Pacific at Julesburg,
run down the Denver Short Line to
Greeley, cross from there to Fort Col
Inns on a line Of road almost completed,
thence up Boulder canon to the Laramie
AID N nth Park road, and on west, via
Laramie. A great saving of time can
he made by this route, and the expen-
slve ''hill run" is avuided-the grade
being very light all the way. West
bound passengers via Denver will also
come this way, it being the intention
of the company to teal up the Colorado
Central track between Fort Collins and
Cheyenne; also the line between Chey-
enne and Laramie. The track between
Julesburg and Cheyenne will then con-
stitute Il part of the Black Hills branch,
as it is pretty certain that a line will be
built from that city to Deadwood within
a short me.-BOomerang.
We simply add that the management
will find much that is new and novel
in the above.

EsTnErIC NECESSITIES.
What the indian Maidens Use fol


The following is from the Laramie
Times:
The deputy United States marshal,
Will R. Shnitzger, will arrive here to-
morrow, with two prisoners from Fort
Washakie. We have not been able to
learn the names of the gentlemen who
are honoring the deputy United States
marshal by accompanying him on his
journey, but learn that they do so at
the earnest request OF the Indian COM
missioner at the agency.
1t appears that the individuals in
question, while ldboring under temper
AIRY mental alteration, superinduced by
agency 6rewater, appropriated to their
own use a couple of wagons and the
horses thereto belonging, together with
quite a large quantity of barbed wire.
1t appears from what we have learned
that the Indians did not object, at
least not to any great extent, to the
c~onfiscating Of the wagons, but the fe-
male portion of the agency raised a
howl when they found that the barbed
wire had disappeared.
There has been for a considerable
time a dearth of those necessary Access
sories to the completion of a lady's
toilet-pins-and the copper-colored
bellies who hang around the fort and
make love to the gallant defenders Of
the flag" who garrison that outlying
fortress, have been in the habit of keep
ing up their back hair and tightening
W their pantaloons and army blankets
with the wire, 50 that the c%onfscating
of the wire by those constituencies
hangers-on of the camp and agency,
created a vacuum in the boudoirs of
the maids of the plains which could
not be filled, and hence the pursuit and
capture of the culprits.
This should be a warning to all
those who intend to purloin the sup
plies furnished to Uncle Sans adopted
children. They can have what they
like and welcome, but don't take any
thing that is used by the females of the
agency, such as whisky, barbed wire
and the other luxuries with which they
have lately become acquainted, or they
will surely get into trouble.

A FIRE.
A Warehouse Set on Fire by rramps
Damage slight.


About IL O'Clock yesterday morning
an alarm of fire was sounded and in
stantly all of the fire companies were
rushing to the scene of the supposed
confagration. 1t was found that the
large warehouse on the government
track. and formerly owned by Bean &
Hotel, was on FIRE. Those of the hre-
men who were first on the scene
promptly extinguished the flames with
water carried in the buckets belonging
to the hooks.
1t was found that a small quantity
Of hay that lay on the floor of the ware
house was on fire, and also that a large
pile of hay under the building, beneath
the office, had been ignited and this set
fire to the floor, burning two large holes
through it.

orally agreed to be incendiary. Several

they made good their escape, for q

yesterday that there was a very good
attendance of fremen. Many members
who are seldom found at the regular
meetings were on hand to do duty, and
of course there was a disposition to for
give them for hardness.

John f. Slater, of Norwich, Conn,
has signihed an intention to create a
fund of a million dollars, to be known
as the John F. Slater fund.-" for the
education of freedmen. The fund will
be vested in a board of trustees, which
includes ex-President Hayes, Chief JUS
tice Waite, Vim. E. Dodge, of New
York, Gov. Colquitt of Georgia, James
P. Boyce of Kentucky, and VIM. A.
Slater. Mr.. Slater explains:
The general object intended is the up
lifting Of negroes and their pcsterity by
couferring the blessings of Christian
education. The disabilities formerly
suffered by this people and their singu-
lar patience and fidelity in the great
crisis of the nation, establish a just
claim on the sympathy and good will of
humane patriotic men. L cannot but
feel that compassion is due in view of
their prevailing ignorance, which exists
because OF no fault of their own"
If, after 80 years, three-quarters of
the trustees shall, for any reason agree
that there is no further use for the fund
In the form instituted, Slater author.

lands or buildings for any other purpose
than that of safe and productive in
