An Electric Light Man Severely Beaten
I'm a Private Residence.

Yesterday morning, VIM. Keucker and
William Hand, two men employed by
the Electric Light company, had a dis
pute in regard to the length of a pair of
plyers. In the course of it, both men be-
came rather warm and Keucker finally,
called Hand a liar. This was all that
came of the matter at the time, but the
insult seems to have ranked in the mind
of Hand. Later in the morning the
men met at the Club House. Hand,
who is the larger man, made a blow at
Keucker, who defended himself first
with a flower pot, and finally, being
hard pressed, iabbed a file through his
cheek. Hand then said he had enough
of that sort of thing. Keucker apollo
gised for the insult of the morning and
the men shook hands over it. About
half past 5 O'Clock, Keucker was in the
basement of w. c. Irvine's residence
turning on the electric current. Some
time afterward the servant happened to
go below stairs for something she needed
dilh oilN bilCh Abuilu INtuNhtl lNlllb luStu
sible and covered with blood. The
injured man was Immediately taken
above stairs and DR.. Barkwell called in.
Upon examination the physician discover
ed that Keucker's nose was broken, and
his right eye, cheek and lip badly confused.
After the wounds were properly dressed,
keucker was taken in a hack to the resi-
dence of George Jennings, Mt the corner
of Twentieth and Eddy streets, where he
boards. There he finally recovered COM
plete consciousness. Keucker has no
recollection of anything that TRANSFERRED
after he reached the basement of Mr.. Ir-
vines residence. Mr.. Sparhawk, Mr..
1rvine's father-in-law, however, happened
to go below stairs some time before the
beating probably took place and noticed
there an electric light man with a fresh
patch of court plaster on his cheek. This
points strongly to the.fact that the person
who committed the assault was Hand.
Information of the matter was given to
Sheriff Sharpless, but Hand was nowhere
to be found. 1t was thought he would
arrange to get out on the Denver train and
Deputy Sheriff Hosford took passage on
it. A short distance from town he noticed
a man jump on to the train and he imme,
diately pulled the bell-rope, As soon as
the train was stopped the man jumped of
and was about to disappear when Hosford

THE ~CADETsHIP,
The "S entinel's' silly sIur.--The Ami.
mus of the Thing.

1t is not likely that NJ. 4. Post expects
TO run for n third term in Congress, but
Tor all that it was not wise in him to mani
fest so much of the Cheyenne porcine as
he did in the appointment of a committee
of three Cheyenne men to examine appli-
cants for the position of West Point cadet.
Some of the boys up here would ike a
chance at it, but they all declare it is en-
tirely useless, that Professor Stark has
as he had before-some one coached for
it, who will know just what is coming, and
that 1t is OF no use for anyone outside of
Cheyenne to compete. We presume this
is correct. AT any rate such an impression
prevails and is generally expressed, and it
is a significant fact. Laramie Sentinel
DR.. Hayford is probably actuated to this
piece of petty malice by the fact that the
advertisement of the examination was not
ordered in the Sentinel. He always mani
tests petty meanness upon the slightest
provocation. These points become peril
nent from the fact that the bucolic doctor
has, in the above wad of malice, rolled up
too much of falsity. The fact is that for
the three last examinations for cadetships,
all of the committeeman have belonged to
Cheyenne. There is no fee attached to
the position, and it would be asking too
much of a gentleman from the western
portion of the territory to come down here
to Cheyenne, pay car fare, hotel bills, etc.
besides giving his time gratis. 1t is not
true that Prof. Stark has ever Coached
anybody for the cadetship. Every young

A TERRIBLE TALE
OF Hardships Endured, Related by
Mrs. Egbert Clarke.
Officer Nolan Busily Employed in
Making Arrests.
The Muscular Blacksmith Held on
Two Separate Charges.

On Thursday last, Egbert Clarke, the
blacksmith and taxidermist, who resides
and has his place of business on
Sixteenth street, vent on the war
path, as it is sometimes termed, and
severely beat and otherwise maltreated
his wife, who is a quiet, hard-working
and inoffensive woman, and one who. ac-
cording to the account given of her by
her neighbors, attends strictly to her own
business and molests no one. For this
overt act on the part of Clarke, complaint
was made against him and yesterday he was
brought before Judge Lee for a hearing
He pleaded guilty and was fined $40 and
costs which amounted to S. more.
He had a long talk with Judge Lee
and Officer Nolan, who made the arrest,
and promised them both that if he was
released, he would in the future abstain
from similar recreation. Nolan accom-
panied him to his residence, where he
went for the purpose of getting the
money with which his fine wa to be

The Laramie Sentinel has the following
in regard to Judge Groesbeck:
If the old rule holds good that the
good die young" Judge Groesbeck is
going to die or be translated very soon.
At he1ast meeting of the county com
missioners he declined to receive his pay
for his salary as justice of the peace dur
ing the time he was in the legislature.
amounting to SIG. AS the salary of
both offices would scarcely pay a mans
board, if he is ever so economical, we
think the judge is rather too punctiliously
honest, but is SO rare a complaint we must
compliment him, q. n
There is a colored individual in the
fence in regard to the foregoing, which
Doctor Hayford conveniently ignores. 1t
wouldn't take an immoderate amount of
weeping, wailing and crashing of teeth to
induce Judge Groesbeck to run for County
Attorney in Albany county next fall, and
it don't do him any harm, of course, to
acquire the reputation of being unusually
philanthropic and patriotic to the extent
of a few dollars, at least. The Judge
knows on which, side the oleomargarine is
spread.

A Mass of Lies contradteted.

A special telegram from Cheyenne APP
peared in the Denver Republican yes
terday that contained a mass of lies.
1t went on to say that j. G. Baird had
resigned his connection with the LEADER
and that it was rendered necessary from
the charge that the paper is losing
money and that there are dissensions in
the company. The Cheyenne CORE
spondent of the Republican is a fellow
named Bosworth, who is utterly irrespon-
sible and worthless and who was dis
charged from the LEADER for this rea-
son, hence his venom. But the fact hat
he telegraphed gross lies shows that he
has no character. Inasmuch as the
standing of the correspondent is not
known in Denver, the trustees of the
LEADER Printing Company caused the
following telegram to be sent to the Re
publican last night: q
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April ~.
The report in your paper to-day from
Cheyenne, as far as j. G. Baird is con-
cerned, is incorrect, inasmueh as he has
not severed his connection with the
DEMOCRATIC LEADER, but, on the other
hand, he has been perfectly satisfactory to
the company and the trustees, and the
paper has not lost money, nor are there
any discussions in the company. al

Theories Concerning the Brilliant Sum
sets.
New Haven Special: Prof. Loomis.
while confessing his inability to satifsc-
torily explain the brilliant sunsets, sug.
gests interesting theories concerning
them. He does not ascribe them to
vapor in the air, and says that the late.
ness of the hour shows the cause 10 be at
a great elevation from the earth's surface.
He objects to the theory of volcanic dust
from the eruption in Javsin the autumn,
as that took place too long ago, aud the
phenomenon was only noticed recently.
As to the volcanic eruption in California
and Washington territory, while smoke
was emitted which contains dust, the
dust may not be red; but when the sun
shines through the cloud of dust, its rays
have more penetrating power than the
other rays in the spectrum. Prof.
Loomis instancee the red sunsets upon
hot nights in summer when the atmos.
phsre IS filled with dust. Another sug.
gestion by him 10 that the phenomenon
is due to some foreign substance falling
into tho air, and the possibility thai
metecrs constantly falling into the at.
mosphore may cause the brillisncy, but
he adds that the latter is vague con
