The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1883-12-19
Death OF Uncle John.

Uncle John" Shanks, an old timer
here in Cheyenne, where he has labored
and toiied these many years at his
trade, that of a stone mason, died yes
terday morning at Simmons ranch,
near Granite cafon, of paralysis, which
only attacked him the day before. He
had gone out there with his usual good
health, with the intention of taking a
little recreation for about a week, but
b fatal hour was last approaching.
That dread disease paralysis, which
kills Its victim while yet he lives,
took hold of him and the old man could
not shake 1t off.
"Uncle john" as he was Familiarity
known, was 70 years of age and was
alone in the world, with the exception
Of one son, who is somewhere in north
ern Colorado. He was a genial, kind
hearted, jolly, good natured old man,
always lively and to all appearances
cheerful, yet the close observer could
detect that there was another side to
his hfe-something unrevealed and
which denoted that somewhere on the
long pilgrimage he had made reyerses
or disappointments had overtaken him
and his life as he fingered here among
US for the past few years suggested
those sad, pathetic words of the poet:
Through the gray willows the bleak winds
are raving,
Here on the shore with Its driftwood and
sand"
But the old man has gone. "Uncle
John" has lain down to sleep-to sleep
where this weary battle of life's con-
test will never again disturb, and to
awake finally where the tranquil waters
of the crystal river as they glide along
whisper ''rest-rest forever"
His remains will be brought home to
Cheyenne to day by Mr.. Simmons, with
whom he has made his home for years.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1883-12-19

The litigation about to be inaugural
ed over the great Dorsey cattle ranch
promises to be of no small magnitude.
Mr.. Dorsey claims that there has been
gross Encouragement, the company,
according to his statement, having re-
ceived In two years oYer $500, 900, Of
which he, although owning S105, 900 In
stock, has not received a cent. MI.
Dorsey took forcible possession of the
property, deposing the superintendent,
Charles D. Woolworth, formerly a well
known citizen of st. Joseph. He says
he took possession In order to force a
settlement. John W. Bosler, a promi-
nent politician Of Pennsylvania, is a
large stakeholder and is represented by
Mr.. Woolworth. Mr.. Dorsey makes
the additional statement In his charge
OF mismanagement that the expenses
for the last fifteen months we're s61, 0GO
while the twelve months previous they
were only s12, 900.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1883-12-19

The shipments OF live stock and
dressed meats for the foreign markets
the past week from Boston were 1,79e
cattle, 306 sheep, 3,4s2 quarters OF
beef.
Sunday night another cold rain set
IN, and continued without intermisslon
sll last Monday. The rain Is not need
ed for either grass or water, as both are
plentiful, and will do more harm than
good.
The 6rst consignment of fat stock
for Europe which has been shipped
from that port for some years, left
Philadelphia December 2, there being
800 head on board the steamship
Denmark, of the National
line.
The demand of the hour is to secure
rapid growth and great size at the ear
lest age possible for the coming beef;
these added to adaptablllty to lay on
fat from calfhood is the verdict handed
in by the judges at our fat stock
shows.
The stockmen have again started a
petition for a convention, to be held at
Austin on the second Tuesday of Janu-
airy. and will this time carry their de-
sires into effect. John Lyttle, E. R.
Lane, Lon Millett and other well
known cattle men are at the head Of
the movement.
Mr.. NJ. R. Hoxie, of the In~terna-
t%ionai, say the hne stock shipments be-
Ing made to Texas this year exceed by
far the shipments of any previous year.
The importations of thoroughbred bulls
Indicate that there is going to be a
revolution In the common cattle bust
ness and that better grades will be the
change.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1883-12-19

General John M. Thayer, Wyoming's
second governor, was In Cheyenne yes
terday and last evening on his way
from Rock Creek to his home In Col
umbus, Neb. General Thayer has en-
joyed a distinction which few men at
tain. He went into the war when the
rebellion broke out, rose to the rank of
major-general of volunteers, and at its
close was elected to the United States
senate from Nebraska, and in 1875 was
appointed governor Of this territory.
In 1876 he was rendered the position of
secretary Of the interior by President
Grant, but declined.
The general is getting somewhat
gray, but Is still hale and hearty and
would be a good man to place on the
ticket for vice president with Edmunds
next year.
