In a letter to the editor of the Laramie
Sentinel dated at Buffalo, johnson
County, James Sherrods thus declares
himself:
81 have just seen an article, in your issue
of August 10, in reference to myself,
which contains several serious mistakes.
| am not in danger, nor am | fleeing from
justice, and all the property | have with
me is honestly acquired. The Cheyenne
Sheriff is here and don't want me or my
property; and will return to Cheyenne
empty handed so far as ! am concerned.
| have been coming and going in Wyo-
ming for sixteen years, and never was
taken on any man writ, and will be in
Cheyenne to fight Mr.. V. Baker when
the time comes. | am working on the
Government hay contract, at Fort Me-
Kinney, and ! will be in Laramie City at
election this Fall, and don't you forget it.
Yours truly, j. NJ. SHERRoD.

DEAD BEAT LAWYERS.
They are FIOcking in and Out of
Cheyenne.
A Movement to Emphatically Sit
Upon Them.

There have been a great many dead
beat attorneys striking Cheyenne re
Gently, said a well known citizen yester-
day. Business in various Western cities
has been growing very poorly lately, so
that the attorneys who have been hanging
on the ragged edge flock to Cheyenne,
which has a good reputation,
Upon inquiry as to what led to this
remark, the citizen continued;
Some of the hotel men have been put
to their wits ends to keep their books
clear of debts contracted by some of these
attorneys. Understand, | don't say that
every tramp lawyer who has visited
Cheyenne recently, is a fraud,
but l say that many of them
are. For instance, one of them, with the
assistance of a brother limb of the law,
heeced a certain philanthropic old gentle
man OF Sixteenth street, out of SOS, on Il
worthless bank check. He skipped, of
course; the other denies all guilty knowl-
edge, and is hot for revenge. Only yes
terday, an attorney told me that he loaned
50 to a tramp attorney who wanted to tel
egraph to Leadville for some money: of
urse he was going to locate here, and
wanted the money to pay for furniture,
etc. he was much disappointed at its non
arrival. 1t is needless to say that neither
the alleged attorney nor the money has
been seen since.
Another case: A fellow who had been
practising law in Southern Colorado, came
to Cheyenne two weeks ago, and sought
for an officer at once. On the very same
day, the Sheriff from the county from
which he hailed, arrived with a requisi-
ton for him. 1t was a matter
of embezzling a few hundred dollars, and,
upon restitution of the ill-gotten funds,
the Sheriff returned home, while the at
torney vent to Ogden
Newspapers are coming to town con
tanning damaging statements about some
of the new so-called attorneys who are
here yet. Cheyenne seems TO be an
asylum for crooked professional dead
beats.
This subject is beginning to attract at
tention from the attorneys living here and
there seem to be a general disposition to
cause all foreign applicants for admission
to the bar to prove their good character.
The shysters nus GO as a promi-
nent lawyer expressed it yesterday.

Yesterday was a quiet day in the Police
Courts, and the officers were more orna-
mental than useful.
John Brown was taxed the usual
amount, by Justice Lee, for a plain old
style drunk. The fine was paid, and
John is now marching on.
Joseph johnson appeared at Justice
Lees Court and plead guilty to the charge
of an antique spree with Queen Anne
ornaments and gothic elevations. Owing
to the run on his bank which occurred
the previous night Joseph was insolyent.
He is now a guest at Schnitger's board
ing house.
Officer Deitrick arrested a young man
who is charged with perpetrating m out
rage more than ordinarily vicious and
abandoned. The young man is accused
of entering the residence Of respectable
people and making insulting demonstra-
tons to two very respectable young ladies.
He pleads intoxication as an excuse.
Charges of drunkenness, indecent exposure
and disturbance have been made against
him in order to hold him until it is decided
whether prosecution will be commenced
for the more serious offence. The young
ladies are naturally loath to enter il court
room in connection with the case and they
may conclude to give the matter no
further publicity. Pending their decision,
and respecting their feelings, names are
withheld from the public.

Unless Geographic tidings of the nee
essity of his presence in the East reach
Governor Hoyt to-day, he will leave for
Denver, where he will at once begin the
work of placing the Wyoming exhibit at
the Exposition in proper order. A new
carpet will be placed on the floor, the
specimens will be cleaned and re-arrnged
and everything made ready for any add
tional specimens which may be sent prior
to the opening Of the Exposition next
month. The work is more arduous than
one who has not seen the ruins of the dis
play would imagine and will engage Gov
ernor Hoyt's attention for some time.

4 GOSSIP WITH GOVERNOR HALE.
his Visit to the Yellowstone and His
sudden Illness.

From the Livingston Enterprise.
Among the passengers who arrived by
the delayed train last evening was William
Hale. Governor of Wyoming, accompa-
MED by Mrs. j. NJ Rich, of Cheyenne.
DR.. +. NJ. Powell, of Greenwood, Ia,
and j. d. Edmundson, a banker of
Council Bluffs. The whole party took
the train this afternoon for Mammoth
Hot Springs, whence they will make a
tour Of the Park. Governor Hale, in
conversation with a representative of the
Enterprise, said it had been his intention
to visit the National Park this Summer,
not only to see its wonderful attractions,
but also to investigate the management of
that region. He had, Just previous to
setting out on this trip, received a tele-
gram from Governor Crosby, of Montana.
calling his attention to the violation of
law and the presence of criminals in the
Park; and the need of some remedial
measures on the part of Wyoming. These
things he would carefully look into during
his stay in the Park. The
Legislature of Wyoming passed
a law last Winter providing for
the protection of game and natural curl
osities in the Park, and he thought this
law and the other laws of Wyoming could
be enforced in the Park. He should in
vestigate carefully to determine the best
means for protecting that region and con
suit with Governor Crosby, whom he ex-
pected to meet. He would then have
more to say regarding his purposes. Gov
ernor Hale's health is very poor and on
the train which was delayed by the wash
out he was taken with severe illness, SUI
perinduced by the fatigue and worry of
tedious travel, When he arrived at Liv-
ingston he was still very sick, but rallied
sufficiently to still be on the street this
morning, when he was again seized with
a very bad turn that compelled him to
seek his room. The party will probably
leave the Park by the Western or Beaver
route.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
In which Three Young Ladies Miracu-
lousy Escape a Dreadful Death.

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
BUFFALO, Wyo., via MCKINNEY, Au-
gust 27.-Yesterday evening while Miss
Jennie Kitchen and her two younger sis
tiers, of Fort Mckinney, We're quietly
driving along Main street their horse, a
spirited animal, took fright and at once
became u-nmanageable, tearing down the
hill past the new Court House at a ire
mendous speed. No injury was sustained
until the bridge crossing Clear Greek was
reached. There the buggy struck the
outer guards and in turning over broke
loose from the horse and violently hurled
the young ladies' on the rocks below, The
spectators of the scene were horror-strick-
en-, believing all of the young ladies
killed. Willing hands at once came to
the rescue. Miss Jennie, strange TO say.
was the only one ofthe party injured, her
two sisters making miraculous escapes.
Miss Jennie was badly cut and confused
about the head and it is feared has sus-
tanned internal injuries.
Continuing his flight the horse, when
neal the drug house of Holt & Co. struck
and severely injured a young child of Mr..
Clark. DIR. Watkins attended the suf-
ferers. G..

THE ANGLo-AMERIcAN CIRCUS.
Crowded Canvas In the Afternoon and
People Turned Away at Night.

From the Denver Tribune Republican.
Ortons Anglo-America Menagerie
and Circus pitched its tents on the vacant
square at Stout and Twenty-third streets
early yesterday morning. In the after
noon the canvass was crowded, and last
night people were turned away by the
hundreds, being unable to obtain admit
lance. In the afternoon the seats were
filed with Il rush, and all the available
space within the arena was covered with
temporary seats and soon occupied. Much
cannot be said in praise of the menagerie,
but the circus is very clever and pleas
ing. 1t is an old fashioned circus, having
but n ring, and people go away pleased
because they have witnessed all there is
to be seen. No matter how good the
performance, when given in two or three
rings, the spectator is impressed with the
feeling that he has not seen all, and is
therefore dissatisfied. The aerobatic part
of the performance is all that can be ex-
pected; the clowns are wearisome, and
the hurdle riding could only be classed as
fair. The show is conducted in good
taste, and there is no doubling that the
tents will also be crowded to-day and to-
night.

These and others he liberated, placing in the
stocks the overseer of the slaves. He
then proceeded to the plantation Olimpo, whence
a messenger was dispatched to Cardenas, who
returned with provisions. The march was con
tinued to the plantation Suris, where the party
seized large number of horses and impressed
the overseer as a guide. On the 9Th the whole
party was at Manquto, where it burned two
houses, the headquarters of the civil guard and
the station and warehouse of the railroad at that
point

A leading journal of this city says: ''The nu-
merous forces of the government have com
menced very unluckily their second campaign
against this celebrated bandit; for, so far from
meeting him face to face, he and his party
crossed in front of their very noses, and escaped
sound and safe from the neighborhood of Car
denas to that of the swamps of zapata, where he
now is. 1t is, therefore, not sufficient that
General Castillo should send powerful bodies of
troops to pursue the insurgents: it is necessary
that such troops should be commanded by Off
GERS who know what they are about"
