Description of n Sunday Ride Over
Wyoming Divides - Last View of
Crow Heart Butte.

crow Heart Butte.
CAMP STAGER, ON TERRIs LAKE, wy,
Aug. 18th, VIA Fort WAsHAKIg. Aug. 10.
1t was determined last night to move
our camp this morning few miles to
point where there would be more abund-
ant grazing for the horses and mules.
Accordingly at $50 a. m. every one was
in the saddle and started up the right
bank of Wind river. Owing to the rain
Of yesterday the trail was in splendid
condition for comfort and marching, the
sun being obsoured by clouds, giving a
temperature Of below 500 Fahrenheit all
day.
AT the end Of an hours travel over
hills and rolling land the Wind river was
reached at point where it passes
through gorgeous masses OF rocks known
as the Red Buttes. The first crossing
was made by fording in diagonal direc-
tion up stream where the water was 30
rapid in its flow that ones neighbor
seemed to be moving up the river with
the speed OF running horse. Soon after,
by short ford, the river was recrossed,
| and at the end of an hour the western
boundary Of the Shoshone reservation
| was reached.
From this point our travel was very in
| teresting, but not 30 ditlicult-a journey
| over a series Of lofty divides, to escape
the precipitous banks of small streams
| flowing from the mountains into the
river. In descending one OF these it was
necessary to dismount and lead the
horses.
On the highest divide we halted to
take in the beautiful view, covering
scores of miles up and down the river
with the snow covered peaks of the
Shoshone mountains In front Of us, and
those OF the Wind river mountains at our
back. Here we took our last look at the
great land mark, Crow Heart Butte, 80
miles away, which had been in view
since our leaving Fort Washable. Wal
lowing Buffalo, one of our Arrapahoe
guides, tells us that 1t got it's name after
a great battle between the Shoshones aud
Crows many years ago. The victory OF
the Shoshones was celebrated by buryiug
the hearts of the dead Crows in the sum,
NIT OF the butte.
After ride of IL miles we have
reached the banks of some beautiful
lakes which are called after Captain
Terry, formerly an officer of the army, but
now owning large cattle herds on the
range near by. The lakes are said to
abound in large trout, and We expect to
spend tomorrow fishing.
Game is not very abundant in this
neigh borhood but our hunters yesterday
brought in two antelopes and few
mountain grouse we're killed on the m arch
to day. Shoshone Dick, a white member
of the tribe, who was captured probably
from an emigrant train when so young
that he has lost all recollection of the
event, is one of our Indian party and has
gone to look for signs of game and we
nope for good report from him. Our
camps is named Scamp Stager" in onor
OF General Anson Stager, Of Chicago.

&c, such as the world has never yet
seen, the tariff must go, not suddenly we
hope, not disastrously II we properly pre-

this country is to grow in population and

The Treasury Department is consider
ing the question of the duty on sulphate
of cinchonidia under the new tariff law.
Cinohonidia WAS put on the free list
without specifying whether or not the
term should embrace the sulphate as well
as the alkaloid. Importers maintain that
both are free, while American manufao-
turers of quinine contend that the aka

A BLOODY IFFRAY.
between n Texan Ranger and Mex
can Policemen.

LAREDO, TEXAS, Aug. 14-Saturday
night jeff Miller of Laredo, who had been
on protracted spree in Monterey, Mexico,
mistook private residence for house Of
ill fame. A policeman rushed in with a
lamp in one hand and shooter in
the other, but before he had crossed the
room Miller fired. The policeman fell q
corpse and shooting as he fell, the ball
hitting Miller in the leg. The latter then
backed up toward the wall, holding
out against squad of police armed with
sabres, and was about shooting again
when another American pinioned his
arms from behind. The police then lit
orally scarifed Miller with their sabres
and, it is said, heaped the greatest indig
mites upon him while bleeding and a
helpless prisoner. His leg has since
been amputsted aud he will probably die.
He was formerly Texas Ranger.

why Some Mepsubmit to be Libeled

Why Some MenASubntt to be Ltbeled
Many politicians and few millionaire
business men Of unsavory reputation are
almost daily the subject of such news
paper attacks as II made upon most
private persons, infinitely humber and
poorer than the real subjects Of attack,
would result in frequent libel suits. We
have not the least doubt that many Of
these attacks are unjust, yet they
continue and are repeated in dozen diff
fsrsnt forms in many different news
papers. Much Of the time they are
unnotiosd, but it will not do to say
that this is because the subjects
of attack despise the newspapers
or know that the publishers are too poor
to pay damages even If successfully sued,
for mans poverty does not prevent him
being imprisoned for criminal libel, and
besides the most reputable papers in the
land devote considerable space to at least
improved charges against public men.
men are 30 vulnerable in some points
that they dare not defend themselves

points. Jay Gould's career as a fnan-

he can not afford to pick Out

the basis of an action for libel, lest hi
failure to prosecute for dozen mor'

was a scoundrel and a coward, upon
which Fitzgerald again rushed at him
and the two clinched and rolled on the

An interesting table in the Insurance
Chronicle ct this week shows the work of
g the fire fend as national creditor and
"tax collector From this statement
1t appears that for the five years from
1875 to 1882, both inclusive, the average
annual loss by fire in the various states
was equivalent to an average yearly tax
varying from GO to $2.4l upon every
800 worth of real and personal property.
Iu this State the tax thus levied by the
fiery element was "a per 300 on real
estate valuation of $59, 1851, SAB, not
uncomfortable fraction of our entire tax
alton for all purposes OF government.
Such showing suggests the value OF
the service that will be rendered by the
man who shall discover or invent cheap
tire-proof material. II is alarming tc
contemplate the fact that in several states
| more than two per cent. of the entire
wealth is annually consumed by fire.

United States laws take no cognizance Of
shy assault unless deadly weapons are
used. Consequently, instead of lodging
policemen aud sheritfs, and seeking some

'tancy," Slade and Mitchell have decided
to go boldly to Vinita and have

ground, in the view of the thousands OF
spectators which tbeI two railroads con-
Meeting at Vinita are expected to bring
from neighboring states, and afterwards
to divide their share OF the gate money.

prices and excursion trains will probably
be- run at reduced rates.

announces nothing less than the dis
eovery of the remains OF Noah's Ark,
which ia reported to have foundered on

If the chronicler of this sensation is to
be believed, the old boat was brought to
light by commission recently appointed
to investigate svalanohes on that histori-
cal mountain. The commissioners, while
pursuing their Investigations, came
upon what seemed to be the
bow of a gigantic canal boat
protruding from glacier and, N further

Governor Hamilton's story Of Demo-
cratic corruption in Maryland has con-
siderable historical value, and the same
is true Of the rather remarkable reforms
that have been brought about since 1879,
while his suggestions for further reforms
seem in the main sound and broad, but
throughout the whole five columns of his
rather loose ointed address, the glori-
fication of Hamilton is either so uncon-
cealed or 80 thinly yelled that one Is left
10 conclude that his zeal for reform is
less than his zeal for Hamilton's renomi-
nation. OF course when Governor
Hamilton's friends sweetly inquired of
him as to what reforms had taken place
under his administration they meant to
give him an opportunity the Governor
has gladly embraced. Philosophio
persons, however, will accept the historic
lesson of the Governors address, and
also whatever is good in his suggestions
of reform, though it does not necessarily
follow that his candidacy shall be accepted.
By the way why did not our excellent con-
temporary, the Baltimore Sun, save the
credit of the Governor and OF its own
editors by strengthening out the ill-con-
structed sentences of this addressa To
be sure it was long, and in all probs-
bility it was received at such an hour as
to greatly hurry the newspapers in get
ting it into type, but it is shame that
Governor Hamilton should have allowed
| 1t to pass from his hands in 30 crude 9
form ard that reputable newspaper
should have suffered its glazing faults o
| rhetoric and English to 90 nncorreeted.
