County Attorney Blake came down from
Laramie City yesterday for the purpose of
making the acquaintance OF Judge Lacey
and as%certaining from him whether there
is to be a full bench at the converting of the
Supreme Court on the 9Th of the ensuing
month, which will be on Tuesday next.
He found Judge Lacey already engaged
in looking over the transcript and papers
in the only case which is to be heard by
the Court when it meets. Mr.. Blake as
certained that there would be a full bench
and that the Cook murder case will surely
be taken up for hearing, and diverted the
balance of his time yesterday to examin-
ing his brief in the case, Some very i'm,
portant and interesting questions have
been raised in this case, and as the life of
a human being depends upon the decision
it is expected that the arguments that are
to be made will be able and interesting.
Messrs. Downey and Mcintyre appear for
the plaintiff in error, while Mr.. Blake
represents the Territory.

Let gentlemen of bucolic tendencies re-
nov the hay seed from their hair and lie
low, for Doc Baggs, the king of the
bunko steerers, is at large among them.
This rather notorious gentleman arrived
in the city last evening, accompanied by
his wife. Whether..or not his stay will be
a prolonged n remains to be seen but it
is very certain the Doc will soon be
getting his work in hereabouts. The
Denver Board of Trade were beginning to
throw a little sultriness into the climate
for doc Bags, so it is probable he has
merely come here to rusticate. 1t would
be advisable, all the same, for confiding
people to remain in doors temporarily.

COME TO GRIEF.
The boy Burglars Have a Hearing
Yesterday.

Yesterday the three young bootblacks
who burglarized the Tivoli on Sunday, an
account of which was published in Tues
day issue ofTm LEADER, were brought
before Judge Fisher for a hearing. 1t
appeared that one of the kids" who has
a pretty good name, Thomas Moore Kelly,
was the ringleader of the small gang, or
rather, was the only one of the three who
participated in the actual robbery. The
three boys were pretty young, and for
that reason the complaint against them
was made in Such a form as TO bring the
matter within the jurisdiction ofthe Court.
When the parties were arraigned Kelly
pleaded guilty and proceeded to make a
statement, in which he asserted that his
two companions had nothing whatever to
do with breaking into the building and
robbing the money drawer. He confessed
to having done all this himself and was
only Joined by the other two after he had
taken the money, He tried very hard to
implicate the boy Curley, who acted as a
detective and succeeded in f%erriting out
the perpetrators of the crime. Judge
Fisher at once concluded that there was
no reason whatever for holding the two
companions of Kelly, and Mr.. Baird, who
appeared on behalf of the prosecution,
was of the same opinion, and they were
consequently discharged. The Court
sentenced the boy Kelly to two months in
the County Jail and to pay the costs of
the case. In consideration of the fact
that Kelly is still qnite young, it was de
cided to suspend the sentence for twelve
hours, which was done, Kelly and his
companions in the meantime agreeing to

There is a vast amount of dirt and filth
be found around many of the back alleys
and back yards of the city that ought to
be looked after by somebody. There is
IN ordinance of the city which prohibits
the dumping of all sorts of garbage and
filth in the yards and alleys, and it ought
to be enforced. There are special reasons
why premises should be kept as clean as
possible, and it would be one of the
wisest moves that the street and alley COM
mittee could make to have a thorough ex-
animation of all the out of the way places
at once, and if any u%nclean thing be
found to have it removed. Ii is
said that at one place south of the rail
road track there is a pile of ashes lying in
one of the alleys that has been accumulat-
ing for more than three years, Such
things certainly should not be.

HERALD AND REvEII.
closing L.abors of the Two EvangeIists
Last Evening.

Ihetwo e~vangelists, Messrs. Herald and
neVeil' after having held services at the
congregational Church yesterday after
noon, finished their labors in this city at
the Congregational Church last evening
AT o clock, and previous to the main
services, an outdoor meeting was held at
the fost Office corner, which, while there
were but few in attendance at first, finally
grew into a meeting of very large propor-
tons. Mr.. Herald, assisted by the
throng, sang several beautiful selections,
UGH as Sweet Bye and Bye" Rescue
the Perishing," etc, and Mr.. Reyell de-
liyersd a short, stirring and interesting
address. The street meeting then broke
up, for by 8 o'clock it was time for the
exercises of the great union meeting to
commence. The church was densely
crowded and the exercises were very earn
est and the interest taken was very great.
A service of song, led by Mr.. Herald, pre-
coded the main exercises, which continued
for fifteen minutes, after which the regu-
larexercises were engaged in. Mr.. Revell
preached a very eloquent and affecting
sermon, taking FOR his them1 and topic
The conversion of the Phillipian jailer.
In conclusion Mr.. Herald sang I'VE have
sighted the Golden Gate" After the
meeting had closed another one was held,
which was mainly devoted to testimonies,
prayer and song. This closed the labors
of the two evangelists in Cheyenne, and
although they have been here but two or
three days, they have accomplished much
good by their work.

Special Dispatch TO the Omaha Bee.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-J. II. Sanders,
secretary and treasury of the cattle com
mission, was asked what effect the grant
ing of the notifications by the Wyoming
cattlemen of England asked for would
have on the cattle trade of America. He
said:
1T would very greatly stimulate the
cattle trade of Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa,
Nebraska, Montana and all that region.
The restrictions imposed on the landing
of American. cattle at British ports
amounts to 50 great a hindrance that it
reduces the price of cattle about fifteen
dollars per head less than they would
bring If the restrictions were removed.
If those people succeed in getting cattle
shipped from America into the interior
without having to slaughter them at the
decentralization, it will enable the shippers
to make about fifteen dollars per head
more than they now get, and that increase
in price would greatly stimulate the shin
ment of live cattle from this country to
England.

B0UYANT LIVE STOCK.
Heavy Purchases Constantly Being
Made in the Business,
And New Companies Being lncor-
porated in the Territory.
No Fear of Texas Fever Being
Felt H%ereabouts.


Heavy purchases of stock by the lead
ing stock men of Cheyenne are being
made almost every day, Notwithstanding
the little Texas fever scare, showing that
the gloomy fears and dismal forebodings
which some are inclined to indulge in are
not shared by stockmen generally. Yes

Pumphry, Kuykendall & Pumphry, of
Texas, the following described cattle, as

A BRILLIANT SOCIAL AFEAIR.
The Elegant Reception at the Cheyenne
Club Last Evening.

The reception given last evening by the
Cheyenne Club, at their Club House, was
one of the finest successes in the social
line that has ever happened in this city.
Over one hundred couples were present,
representing in the main, the youth,
beauty and chivalry," of Cheyenne. The
Club House was handsomely decorated.
Large flags encircled the portico, which
was lighted by fifty incandescent electric
lights. The interior of the house, es-
pecially the dining room, was most ele-
gantly ornamented. As to the tables, it
may safely be said that they excelled in
beauty of design and wealth of viands. 1t
is almost unnecessary to add that the
greater portion of the guests remained
until a late hour, enjoying the feast of
good things and the dancing.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 3O.-Tho com
mission sent out to Maxwell on Monday
by Governor Dawes returned tonight.
They found one hundred cattle in the
vicinity of Maxwell and Brady stations
dead, and as many more sick. The infec-
ton is confined to cattle while grazed ON a
small strys of over which 1000 Texas
cattle were driven which had been brought
in by rail, The disease is not contagious.
This was ascertained by a series of ex-
periments. The railroads have promised
not to bring any more Texas cattle until
after the frost, and stockmen in the vicin-
ity, representing five million dollars worth
of cattle, combined to prevent their being
landed if brought in. It won't be safe to
try experiments. The county is too wild.

liver the Hill to Jail,

Frank DeWalt, the defaulting cashier of
the Lcadville bank, who was recently SEN
fenced to ten years Imprisonment, passed
through the city yesterday bound for the
Jail at Laramie. DeWalt was handcuffed
to a man who robbed the Post Office at
Golden. The only other prisoner in the
party was the former ~ianitor of the Den,
Yer Republican office, who, after his dis.
charge from the paper, kept his key to
the Post Office box and helped himself to
the letters containing money. The pris-
oner were in charge Of u. S. Marshal
Cantrell. DeWalt was very downcast, as
he had confidently expected his acquittal.

Mr.. I. F. Matthews, who works on u
ranch up the Little Laramie, while out
hunting, yesterday. was e~ndeavoring to
drive Il cartridge that was a little too large
into his gun, when the thing exploded,
severely burning his eyes and face with

fortunate man mounted his horse and

DIR. Hopkins, the Veterinarian of the
Stockgfowers' Association, arrived home
yesterday from his trip into Nebraska for
the purpose of examining into the char
acter of the disease prevailing among
cattle there. He has spent several DAYS
between Ogalalla and North Platte. and,
as announced in the special dispatch to
The LEADER, published yesterday, pro
nounces the disease to be Texas fever,
He held a large number Of a%utopsies to
demonstrate the exact nature of the dis
ease to those who doubted, that it was
Texas fever. A good many cattle are
affected about Ogalalla, and Searle- herd
seems 10 be suffering particularly,
There is no danger to be apprehended
from the disease except where cattle are
trailed over the same territory that the
diseased cattle have gone over, > said the
Doctor. I'm the work of taking meas
ures against the disease, the Union Pacific
officials are aiding us by thoroughly
cleansing all cattle cars and ali cattle pens
along the route. Everything that can be
done has been done. Since Informed
them of the exact nature of the disease,
the excitement among the cattle men has
been allayed. There is no reason for any
fear in this case

The situation, so far as the Texas cattle
fever is concerned, does not appear to be
a very serious n In the first place it is
confined entirely to Texas cattle and for
the most part to those that have recently
arrived in this part of the country and
has not thus far made its appearance
among native or American cattle with one
exception. At Ogalalla it made its ap-
pearance among a lot of graded bulls and
about thirty of them have died, but there
seems to be no danger of its spreading
