LittlotOn Coke VS.. Clara FituuoOdls,
BY THE BABD OF TOWER HALL.

CHAPTER v
MT Llltleton Coke, in the land of dreams
Where an ideal glory ever beams,
Had seated himself meath a shady tree
And his eyes were fixed on a buzzing bee
While his heart went back to the happy hours
Mhen he, like the bee among the flowers,
went sporting around with the girls so CAV
In days that forever had passed away
he thought, and wept, as he wiped tear
Some tairy-like music" sounded near;
ana, looking up with glad surprise,
A vision of beauty blest his eyes
A maiden fair was standing there
with brow of snow meath her raven hair
The matchleSs bloom of her rounded cheek
Inc DluShing rose would be vain To seek
More fragrant far was her tempting mouth
lhan pertumed airs of the sunny South
AS he gazed entranced on the lovely maid
Sne advanced TO him with a shining blade:
With smile of grace she babe him take
The trusty sword for maiden's sake,
FOR with the gift she made him her knight
A holy war of reform TO fight
Mr., Littleton Coke, like prudent man,
Asked the maiden fair to unfold her plan:
He wished to see if it met his taste
The ground on which the reform was based
As he asked her this on his raviShed ear
From an unseen minstrel lowering near
Came witching strain that rose and fell
Like the whispered tones of an ocean she'll
With curtSey low, and an earnest glance,
Inc maid moved round in may dance
Then did the wondering Littleton spy
sight that klndled his heart and eve:
lie said TO himself, This angelic maid
Has come in heavenly garb arrayed."
She wore hat, and beneath its shade
Her raven curls with the zephyrs pladed;
And no wanton sunbeam came to sip
The honey dew of her rosy lin
A " BloOmer" frock was buttoned tight
Around her neck of pearly white
Just TO the length prescribed by taste:
And then in unSullied folds to swing
As pure as is birds bright wing
Beneath her trock with ample flow,
her pettllOonS,"~ like driven snow,
Came down in gathers pure and neat
Above her tripping tiny feet
Our hero gazed, then on his knee
Bent TO the fair divinity.
And thus exclaimed 81 cali but bless
A maiden fair in such dress
Name then the cause in which to fight.
Henceforth am your trusty knight
Ana here swear by this good blade!
by hopes that in my heart treasure!
II must meet host arrayed
And every foeman's steel to measure.
Each thought of thee on battle field
A warrior mailed in proof will be:
my name engravened on my shield
A tOilsmen of victory"
Then on the lips OF that fair Miss
He sealed his oath with one sweet kiss
thus spoke the maid: Rise up, Sir Knight
In dreams no longer tarryl
Awake! COnstrue your dream ariehtI

wealthy citizen of Bismarck, for So, 900
damages for alleged breach of promise
Of marriage and seduction. They are
cousins, and she says he induced her to
leave Sweden and come to America to
marry him, and under various pre-
fences accomplished her seduction and
then refused to marry her.

lation towards him, has been a great
aid to him Ill many of his nefarious
plans, such as helping him to save bis
money aud secret jewelry he had
stolen.
This very smooth young mar is the
one who came very neal securing the
49, 500 worth of jewelry in the St
James the other night. He also bad
his plans arranged to steal a lot of val
liable jewelry from a travelling salesman
who will stop at the Windsor hotel this
week or next. His being caught will
nip that project in the bud. Should he
not be convicted in Denver he is want
ed in Cheyenne for several jobs, and is
also wanted at Ogden, Utah, for a dla-
mond robbery.
The party referred to is undoubtedly
the man who has committed the receut
burglaries here. Ex-Marshal Carr has
been on his track for several days, and
it is largely through his instrumentality
that the capture has been made. Requi-
sition papers will be issued as soon as
practicable, and he will be brought here
to answer for his crimes at the earliest
possible moment.

The story of restitution, want and
suffering recently published in the
LEADER, is meeting with immediate
response from our liberal hearted peo-
pie. Messrs. DR.. Rocker, Single, Sea
bury and jenkins, who were on the
rounds yesterday soliciting aid for the
destitute family across the Carlin track,
succeeded in getting $3.50; thus assur-
ing present aid and comfort in a quar-
ter badly needed. There is a loud call
in behalf of the Webb family, consist
ing of five children, who are said to be
destitute of the common comforts OF
life. Actual suffering, helplessness and
destitution among children calls for our
immediate efforts at alienation.

While in the city yesterday Mr.. q. F.
Annette made some decided changes in
the working of several instruments in
the local circuit, and also succeeded in
getting the Cheyenne-Laramie line to
work satisfactorily. He found that the
trouble lay more inI the adjustment of
the Instruments hereItban in the line
itself, which, however, has been recent
ly oyerhauled and repaired. In con-
versation with several persons last
evening in Cheyenne we were able to
hear as distinctly and as easily
as on the local circuit.
In order TO test the Cheyenne-Lar
annie wire Mr.. Annette yesterday after
noon had the Cheyenne central office
connect him with u line lately built
from there to Chugwater, wei fifty
miles north. Standing in the Laramie
National bank, he talked with an &C
quaintance there for several minutes,
over ni~nety-eight miles of wire.-

The Sioux City Journal says: R. G.
n. Graham and a few of bis English
friends QUILTED at Livingston about
six weeks ago., and have since been en-
joying wild life in what WAS supposed
to be the buffalo country. But the
buffalo have gone. What was the
heart Of their iange up to within a year
ago is now about as free of buffalo as
Iowa is. While on the hunt news came
of a bunch of some 5000 that had walk
ed down from somewhere north of the
Powder river. Mr.. Graham and his
party worked down that way, but long
before they got There they learned that
the herd, excepting a few bulls scatter
ed in the mountains, had been killed
off by half breeds and white hunters.
1t is not believed there is a herd of
buffalo of any considerable size, il, in
fact, there arelany except scattered in
dividuals. south of the British line.
| While the party vas in the Judith ba-
sin a cloud of smoke came hat settled
OFCi u SOahe Ahobinb ~
eight days, so that an object could not
be seen more than two hundred yards
away. They afterwards learned that
this smoke came from prairie fires
started by the Indians north of the
Missouri to keep the buffaloes from
going south, as is their habit at this
season Of the year. If this fire accom-
plishes its purpose it will keep the
small remnant of the once myriads of
the buffaloes north OF the boundary
line, where they are likely to die of
cold and starvation, if not killed off by
the hungry Assiniboine Indians.
In brief the noblest of American
game animals is all but extinct, and
next season only scattering individuals
are likely to be found anywhere on the
continent.
To this the Chicago Sportsman adds:
Too true, too true; but is the Journal
aware that the government, If it does
not openly encourage the destruction
of The buffalo, winL5 at it, as the most
effective means of controlling the In
dians. The more numerou. the buffa-
10 the more independent are tae In
dians, and consequently more difficult
to control.
Then the white settlers on the from
tier do not regard the buffalo as the
noblest of American game animals, but
as a nuisance they cannot be rid OF too
soon, as a herd of buffalos not brings a
swarm Of Indians, but when it STAN
pedes it often carries of QUE or more
herds of cattle.
With 80 many enemies to contest
against, the buffalo must necessarily
become extinct before the march Of
civilization.

The ~thirty-six mormon missionaries
who arrived in this city on Sunday last
were on their way to Europe, where
they are to serve for two or three years,
but it is not only in Europe that the
emissaries of the church of latter day
saints are making converts. They are
scattered through the southern states,
and have been very successful there.
The centre of the mormon movement
in the south is at Chattanooga, and the
new converts are to meet there in No
vember. One Of the elders who is sta
tionedin that city says that the mum
Der of those converted in the south this
year is about 1000. A party of 700
went from Chattanooga to Utah last
fall and about 1000 more will GO, he
says, in November. Many who are not
ready 10 leave their homes will post
pone their departure until next spring.
The missionaries have been very sue
cessful in northern Georgia, lower Vir-
ginia, and northern Mississippi. In
the last named state ''some Of the best
people," he says, shave been converted
and have given the missionaries all as
~sistance possible" Two of the elders
who have been at work in Georgia were
recently indicted for vagrancy, and will
be tried next month. Thry have been
authorized by the mormon church lo

The sensational story about the MUIR
derer Mosier being a brother Of the
kidnapper of Charlie Ross and of his
asking for time that he might tell the
story of his abduction, seems to be ex-
citing some interest in the east. The
New York Times comments editorially
upon the matter at considerable length,
and arrives at a very sensible conclus-
ion, as will be seen by the following ex-
tract:
William Mosher was a hardened and
habitual criminal. He was so well
known to others of his class (most of
whom regarded him with the
respect which ever criminal
accomplishments and immunity
from detection inspire) that it would
be very natural that any person bearing
a name resembling his would be willing
to claim relationship or completely
with the slain burglar. The romance
of crime draws into its fascination the
criminal and the weak together. Hav-
ing C pretended that he was nearly
allied to Mosher, the child-stealer and
house-breaker, the Cheyenne ruGlan
would be sure to attempt to save his
neck or divert the attention of his vol
unteer executioners. Moreover, the
st. Louis clue, whatever it was, was
examined by Mr.. Christian K. Ross a
few days since, and it is announced that
he is satisfied that there is nothing in
it. The tale from Wyoming, it would
appear, has only revived interest in the
crime without throwing any light on
what must remain a bafied mystery.
Speaking of the murderer's lynching,
the Times y He was taken from
the Jail, carried to the woods, and
hanged.
1t is probable that a thorough and
exhaustive search might reveal a tree
somewhere within fifty miles of Chey-
enne big enough to hang a man on, but
as long as telegraph poles are so handy.
and trees are 80 scarce, the former will
undoubtedly continue to be the favor
ties with the conductors of neck tie
parties. The Times seems to think we
live in the woods out here, which is so
far from being the Ease that there are
probably more and bigger trees within
half a mile of the New York postofice
than there are in all Cheyenne.
