The Memphis Appeal remarks that
the impression still obtains that the
Southern people cherish such a deadly
hatred to Yankees THAT they will nei5

and they show this affection in Il

mattresses and lay their heads on

only things not made by Yankee hands
and imported from the land of the
Yankees. On rising in the morning
we tread Yankee carpets, stumble over
Yankee chairs and sofas, build fire

Cotton seed oil is certainly destined
to a much wider use fer cooking pur-
poses if it does not in time become
quite a competitor with lard. The
Commercial Bulletin stated not long
ago the extent to which itewas sold
for domestic purposes in Boston and
the attention Of the grocery trade is
being called to it in various quarters.
The Baltimore Grocerls Exchange
have lately received a report from its
special committee on this subject
which says that the oil is SO much
richer than lard that tRo-tbirds of the
former is egualtoa unit of the latter
rim other words, that, If one pound
Of the lard would prepare a certain
dish, two-thin6s of a pound of oil
would do the same work. This being
the ease, argues the committee, the
saving to the consumer approaches
close on to so per cent. when using
the oil in preference to lard for oil
can be furnished the consumer at so
cents per gallon aud standard weight
gives z IL pounds TO the gallon so
that pound of oil onlyceosts the con

The oil is unhesitatiBgiy recon-

The Pirates of pe.xanee

Was given a good representation by the
Church Choir company last night.
Miss Beebe was unfortunately unable to
take the part of Mabel, owing to a Sc
we're attack of quinsy, but the role was
rendered very a~cceptably by Miss
Schroeder, although 1t was her 6rst ap-
pearance in that part. 1t is rather a
pity that Miss Rommeiss could not
have made up SO as to have shown a
less charming face, for, although her
singing was all that conld be idesired,
she was altogether too pretty for the
character. Miss Jessie Day, as Kate,
attracted general attention by the Wv
acity of her acting, and were her voice
of a little better quality. would soou
make herself a general favorite. Mr..
Norcross made an unusually good Pr
ate King, having both a fine voice,
well handled, and a good presence. Mr..
Hart and Mr.. Burton both made good
impressions, and In fact this might be
said Of all the company. The chorus
was hardly adequate to the occasion, In
point of numbers, but made up for
this by good singing and unison OF
movement.

Mrs. Helen Jenkins came around
yesterday at an early hour decidedly on
the warpath, which means that she was
not in a very amiable mood. She called
at the Leader Office and inquired of the
sage brush reporter if be was the fellow
who had been writing her up" When
she was frankly informed that 1t was,
she turned loose on that hideous mon
ster and he got a irst-class raking
down. just what she didn't say that
was rantankerous is more than the
victim can o remember, but that she
talked a good deal is certain, enough in
fact to lay herself liable to a prosecution
under the ordinance of the city, and
also under the laws of the territory.
But she has enough on hand at present.
Three cases are now pending against
her in the courts of Cheyenne, besides
the little matter of a perpetual injunc-
tion against her from renting that
house on the corner for illicit purposes,
which some n may remind her of
some day and take. some steps In the
matter. 1t might and it might not
contribute 10 her peace of mind TO be
brought before the district court for a
violation of that Injunction. This
paper has no desire to trouble anybody,
but a duty to the public which 1t
will perform whenI occasion demands.
One thing Mrs. Jenkins can rest assur-
ed of, If she wants to come around, as
she threatened yesterday, and under
take to aog the reporter she can't come
any too quick. 1t might not be the
best thing in the world for her to do,
and what is here said has a Significance
and a meaning.

DISTRICT COURT.
Mrs. Bouuhton Moves for a New Trial
A Cow case,-0ther Matters.

Court convened yesterday morning
at 10 O'Clock, Chief Justice j. b. Sener
presiding.
The Journal record of the day before
was read by the clerk and approved by
the court.
The petit jury were all in attendance
as the court had set for yesterday,
among other matters, the case of Yost
& Beach Va. T. NJ. Matthews. This
wa an action in ~replevin, which came
up on appeal from one of the Justices
courts of Cheyenne, where the defend
ant got Judgment for a COW which he
claimed. but the plaintiff for the calf
which belonged to the cow, which
threw the costs upon the defendant,
Matthews. The costs being quite
heavy it became more of a question as
to who should pay them than it was as
to who should have the COW. The case
was thereupon appealed. H. Donzel-
man appeared for the plaintiff and J..
A. Riner for the defendant, Matthews.
The case was tried before a jury. On
the trial several witnesses were exam
ined, but their evidence went very de-
cidedly to show that the COW belonged
to the defendant, while it was m
what uncertain who owned the calf
One or two witnesses were sworn and
testified to the effect that it was the
custom among stock men to claim as
their property a young unbranded calf
found following one of their COWS.
There was no objection to this evil
dence, but Judge Sener remarked to
the effect that a mere custom among
stockmen was not law, and could not
be regarded as such to co~nclusively de-
termine the right Of ownership. There
was some evidence tending to show
that the calf belonged to another COW.
The arguments of the attorneys were
very brief, as the evidence was not
very complicated or uncertain.
The charge of the court to the jury
was very brief, and after celebrating
sometime on the question of damages
only they returned a verdict for the de-
fendant for the COW and calf, and fixed
the damages at So. 70 and costs. The
costs, which nov foot up to more than
two or three such COWS are worth, fall
entirely on the defendants.
Elizabeth Barkwell vs.. Small &
Ames, continued until the next term Of
court.
The petit jury was discharged.
E. G. Blair and Jacob Trous vs.. J.
NJ. Treavett, in this case the Following
order as taken from the journal record
was made:
"This day come the parties herein,
and %thereupon the defendant by
counsel presents his exceptions to the
reading on the trial of this ease Of the
dispositions of James LeNichols, and
it is ordered that said paper be fled"
Mary E. Boughton VS.. Charles Hecht,
in this case Mr.. Corlett, on the part of
the plaintiff, presented a motion for a
new trial, which was ordered filed.
Court adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning,

Correction.

CHEYENNE, December %, 1888.
MEssss. MISUNDERSTANDING to the
notice in this mornings LEADER,
headed "The Episcopal Church Choir"
L beg to call your attention to the fact
that the statement as to the personnel
of the new choir was a surprise TO those
best qualified to know as to its mem
bershtp. As yet. the matter of a new
choir is only in embryo with, however,
a strong probability of accomplishing
the end aimed at. 1 particularly wish
to call your attention to the omission
OF the names of two important mem
beers Of the organization. First, Mrs.
Glover, our c%ontralto, who has not re-
signed, but who will continue with us
in the morning service, and who has
always been faithful and earnest in
her devotion to the choir. Second.
Miss Swick, who has kindly consented
to take Miss Trainings place, thereby
filling a vacancy, that at one time, it
seemed impossible to fill. In Justice to
these two ladies, 1 trust you will make
this correction. 81.
1.-THE information given In regard to
the new Episcopal choir was obtained
by our reporter from a source supposed
to be reliable. If a mistake was made
1t was unintentional, and, under the
circumstances, excusable we think

The coroner yesterday receive d
the effects, etc.. of the late Isaac Der
bert who committed suicide some three
weeks ago at Rawhide Buttes, by taking
strychnine.
His personal effects consisted of only
a few trinkets Of no value and 5000 in
money. He made a sort of a nuncupa-
tive will in the nature of a release in
favor of Mrs. Steppler of his imaginary
interests In some cattle, mines, ETC., and
also to all the rest of his personal
effects. 1t looks very much as though
he was insane.
There was no formal inquest, but Mr..

parties and sent them to Mr.. Chafin.
