WADENA, Oct. 27.--The body of Orson
Gould, who was shot seven miles south of
here, lay In the highway where he fell from
the time of the shooting, probably Thurs
day night, until this morning, when JUS
tice Hildred, with six men, carried the BODY
in wagon about a mile to GouId's cabin.
The county physician and coroner made
an examination of the body Late this after
noon. The face presented horrible as
poet. 1t is the opinion Of the most skill
full surgeons present that Gould was first
shot IN the back with charge OF buckshot,
since thirteen perforations were plainly
visible on the small on his back. A large
wound the size Of a copper cent was found
below the nose. The ball, after entering
took downward course, which led to the
belief that Gould was on his back or be-
low the range of his assassin's pistol when
shot. It Is thought that he was killed late
Thursday afternoon, since box Of paper
collars which he purchased in this village
that morning were found near him in the
road. he was first discovered lying
on his face, and no one ventured
to turn him over until Justice
Hildred took the body in charge to-day,
and it was great surprise to find the huge
face wound, as if made by ball. No clue
to the perpetratOr, who evidently intended
to do the work well. Gould's personal
property has been taken by his heaviest
creditors until an administrator is ap-
pointed. Most everything is mortgaged.
The sentiment is quite general here that
Gould's old neighbors showed an as.onish-
ing lack of human feeling in permitting
the body to lie undisturbed in the highway
so long without attention, notwithstanding
he was generally disliked.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 27.-Five weeks
have passed since the lynching of Henry
Mosier, who had a week before brutally
murdered h. &. Vented while sleeping IN
his tent. Wyoming will not tolerate
murders or thefts any moro than the law
abiding citizens in the states will, and
when crime of this kind has been COM
mitted speedy justice is necessary. Last
Sunday large gathering were at a road
rancho kept by Fred Schwartz, on the Fort
Laramie road, about nineteensmiles north
ofCheyenne, intending to take dinner there
Among the party were about q dozen cow
boys, who had been drinking heavily, and
were consequently ripe for any kiud OF
riot. The boys were employed by diff
ferent firms. Some are reported
as belonging to the outfits OF
Lew Smith, Benjamin Weaver & Co., and
Hanna Anderson & Co. Two cowboys
from Texas were with them, and seemed
anxious to show the crowd that they were
cad men," and took the lead. Afte: con
siderable horse racing, swearing and shoot
ing, one of the men rode up to the rancho,
and placing the muzzie of his ravolver
against the house, discharged it. This was
the signal for general outbreak, and the
real fun commenced at once, all hands
opening fire, with no intent to take life,
bat TO do as much damage to the property
as possible. Entering the bar room they
made targets of the bottles on the shelves.
Then they turned upon barrel filed with
whisky, and like some of tina eastern tom
perance brigades, they shot it full of holes
and let its contents run out upon the
floor. If they mad been sat
isfed with this it might
have been looked ct as nothing but fun
which could be settled with dollars and
cents, bnt one of the ruffians, 1nfamed by
whiskey and the smell of powder, forced
his way to the room where Mrs. Schwartz
was, placed a cooked revolver at her
breast, and demanded of her to ''bring on
her women" Mrs. Schwartz, who is in a
delicate state of health, was naturally very
r1ob tor cd hut
sailant and reached her room in safety.
Mrs. Bard, who had stopped there on her
way to town, ran out at the back door at
the first alarm, but stumbling over some
obstacle fell and was afraid to rise for fear
of being shot. She crawled about twenty
yards On her hand and knees to a cIump
o. brush on the banks Ct the
creek where she remained concealed until
the melee was over, There were half
dozen men present besides the cowboys,
but none of them were armed, and as no
arms could be found about the rancho
nothing could be done. Mr.. Schwartz was
himself absent from home. When
the stage from Fort Laramie came in
cowboy drew his gun and threatened to
shoot the driver, but was prevented by a
woman who was with the gang, who threw
her arms around him holding his arms
down at his side. At one time the cow
boys withdrew to their camp for fresh
supply of ammunition, and while absent
all the peaceful travellers left the rancho
and the doors of the building
were locked. These the cowboys broke
open upon their return, so that they are Ii
able to be prosecuted for breaking and en-
tering the building, for which there is a
severe penalty. AS soon as possible those
who were bound for the city came in and
notified the authorities of what had &C.
Cured. A posse of officers was at once
started in pursuit. The sheriff has been
heard from in the Chugwater, where he
said he was in close pursuit, and was GER
tain of success. This is the only cowboy
trouble Wyomingites have had in the last
seven or eight years.
Cheyenne Is at present suffering from
an attack of sneak thieves and burglars.
Offices are robbed of valuable papers,
rooms are sacked and jewelry taken, while
dwellings have been relieved of their plate
ware. AS yet no one but negro has been
arrested.
