The attention Of the people of this

the number of deaths reported in the

Hale's Honey Of Horehound and Tar,
an article which WAS discovered by the
late DIR Hale, a celebrated physician Of
Europe, and used in his private prac-
rice for many years with great success.
The present proprietor. believing this
market required such an article, has
purchased the same at n large outlay,
and is now preparing it according to the
original recipt. And those who have
used the article (which are thousands)
consider it a certain cure for all coughs,

A RICH HAUL.
The Cheyenne Robber Makes a Confession
to Deputy Linton.

Some important and very interesting
features were developed in the Ed.
Kennedy case yesterday. Readers of
the News will remember his being ar
rested last week at the Instigation Of
jeff Carr, of Cheyenne, together with
a supposed partner named Homer, and
the shadowing of Kennedy's mother,
who had taken rooms at 2S7t Sixteenth
street. AS an incident of the arrest it
may be news to state that Kennedy is
the party who, last spring, robbed his
mother of $4,000 at the st. James, the
occurrence creating quite a furore at
the time, and bafled the officials for
some time in making an arrest.
Soon after the arrest of Kennedy on
began a search of the numerous pawn
brokerage establishments in the city,
and succeeded in getting possession of
the bulk of Charles Sampson's property,
together with a portion of s. A. Woods
jewelry, taken from the opera house
block. But the jrwelry belonging to
the Cheyenne parties vas still missing,
and no clue to its whereabouts could be
obtained. Yesterday Deputy Linton
Visited the county jail, and finally Oh
tanned from him the confession that the
Cheyenne property was secreted in
Denver, and that as he intended to
plead guilty to the Denver robberies,
and run his chances for avoiding the
p~enitentiary, would take him to the
place, as he could not describe it.. He
placed himself willingly under the pro-
lection of the deputy, and they went to
the Unity church building, on the cor
ner of California and Seventeenth.
Kennedy then crawled a short distance
under the wooden steps of the building.
and IN coming out had in his hand a
package tied up in Il white handler
chief. In it were two gold watches and
chains, two pairs Of gold bracelets,
numerous gold and stoned rings. scarf
pins, etc. They were the property Of
Cheyenne parties, and are valued at
about 800. Kennedy was then taken
back to jill. On his way back he told
the deputy of the Sampson and Wood,
and Mrs. Beck and Moore robberies,
and acknowledged TO having committed
them all, and alone, and further, that
he was going to plead guilty. as he
didn't want IN no hupLy fn ThaNnnnn No
they contemplated lynching him, he
having read An item to that effect in a
newspaper published there.
Tn the afternoon Kennedy was taken
before Justice Crotty, and pleading
guilty, was held in the SUN of $500 to
appear at the next term of the criminal
court. Failing to secure bonds he was
remanded to jail, where he will remain
until his trial.
The arrest of Kennedy and the dis
covery of the large amount of ~property
he had stolen, is one of the mo t inter.
esting and important that has occurred
in Denver for some time. He is a nat

From the above official statement it
will be seen that THE LEADER in no
way misrepresented facts in its account
OF the strike in the Sun office. We &C.
knowledge our inability to compete with
the Sun in its chosen field of black
guardism, and shall make no attempt
in that direction. The public has long
since registered its verdict as between
the two papers, and with that verdict
we are content. 1t is our purpose to
serve the public, not to indulge in pri-
vate quarrels, and hat our constituent
appreciate our course is fully evinced
by a constant and steady increase in
Dur subscriptions and advertising. II
the Sun could say the same perhaps It's
snleen would not be so apparent.

last campaign that journal constant

labored zealously to array the lnde-
pendents against him on that
ground. and truth to say, its labors
were not in vain, for we have yet to
learn of the first Independent in this
who gave him his support.
Senator Longenecker never pretend
ed to be an Independent, and there
fore they took no stock in him, and
labored hotly for his defeat. On the
contrary, he was on the stump dur
ing the entire canvass for Beaver
and the whole Republican ticket,
and the Independents are, of all his
constituents, the least entitled to
prescribe his political course. As a
consistent Republican, our Senator
has voted squarely with his breth-
rem in that body on all political
questions, and it is the fact that the
Republicans of the Senate are unit,
that gals our neighbor, and doubt
less instigated the assault upon him
for which he will receive as few
thanks from the late Independents
as from regular Republicans.

The Presidential Party.

CAMP ROBERT LINCOLN, Wy, Aug.
15.-The Presidents party left the
Fork of Wind River at $50 o'clock
this morning, and followed the tor
tuous winds of Wind River nearly to
its source, and then began the ascent
of Robert Lincoln Pass, used by
Lieutenant-General Sheridan last
year, and named in honor of the
Secretary of War. This is the short
est and easiest of routes between the
Valley of Wind River and that of
Snake River. The party reached this
camp at II o'clock. having travelled
the distance of abou. seventeen
miles. Within 100 yards of the
camp are streams which flow into
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The President spent part of yester-
day trout fishing, and returned to
camp with the heaviest catch of the
party, the average weight of1he trout
being two pounds. Surgeon For
wood shot an elk of enormous size
and weight. The other hunters of
the party brough in two anntelopes
and a good supply of mountain
grouse and wild ducks. Tomorrow
morning the party begins the descent
Robert Lincoln Pass, and will camp
in the valley of the Gras Ventre
River.

READING, August 16.-The case OF
Martin n. Wenrich, who in May
last stole a horse and upon being ar
rested by Police Sergeant Becker as
saulted the officer with intent to
kill while being conveyed to Read
ing, was concluded this afternoon.
The case consumed the entire day.
1t will be remembered that Wenrich
shot Becker in the head with re-
volver. The ball entered just below
his left ear and still remains in his
head. The prisoner after the shoot
ing threw the officer out of the car
riage in which he was being brought
to Reading and then drove off, leay-
ing the wounded man in the road.
The officer, however after the shoot
ing re-arrested Wenrich and landed
him safely in Jail. The wound at
the time was thought to be serious
one, but after few weeks Becker
was able to be about again. A YER
dict of guilty was returned. Wenrich
will probably get from five to eight
years.

BAISBRIDGE, Ga, Aug. 17.-News
just received from Spring Creek,
Miller County, announced the lynch
ing of Reuben Robertson, the last of
the accomplices in the Fulford wife
murder, for which the white husband
of the victim and a negro were lynch
ed and bullet-riddled on Saturday
night last. The news received to-day
reports that on Thursday night sew
enty- five fantastically disguised men
surprised the guard on duty at the
Jail, and after seizing his gun forced
their way to the Robertson's cell,
where he was twice shot, while
crouched in a corner begging for
mercy. One bullet, which pierced
his brain, was fired from the guard.
No steps have been taken to ascer-
tain the identity of the avengers i'm
plicated in either of the lynchings.
Sukie Robertson, the woman arrested
on suspition of being an accessory to
the crime, has been discharged for
lack of evidence.

browns Herself in Two Feet of Water.

DUBUQUE, August 13.-Mrs. A. b.
Allison. the wife of Senator Allison,
drowned herself in the Mississippi
river some time last night. She
left home yesterday some time last
night. She left home yesterday af-
ternoon after one o'clock, telling her
servant that she was going to one of
her near neighbors. Instead of this,
however, taking her gossamer under
her arm, she went in the opposite
direction, toward the country, where
she had been accustomed to take
daily walks. 1t is ascertained that
she wandered around in the out
skirts of the city during the after
noon, where she was seen by several
persons walking rapidly and appar-
entity somewhat excited. Not re-
turning by nine o'clock from the
place where she was supposed to be,
the giarm was given and search
maintained during the entire night.
This morning her body was discovr
cred, shortly after seven o'clock, in
the river, about mile below the
city. She had cut up her gossamer,
placed some stones in it and tied
them securel about her neck, then
walked deliberately about thirty
five feet from the bank, laid down
and drowned herself, where the wa
ter was only two feet and "a half
