ON THE RAMPAGE.
An Old Lady With a Sharp
Tongue
Who Made Herself Peculiarly
Dlsagreeable Yesterday.

The LEADER dislikes at all times 10
mention anything about the faults or mis-
doings of people, and especially of those
who have long been residents of the city,
and who ought to have a pride in the
good order and welfare of the community
at large. But when people get before the
public and keep there persistently, rush
into the courts, fall into the hands of the
police and in many ways make themselves
quite obnoxious to people generally, their
actions, to a certain extent, become pub
lie property, and they must expect that
the public viii take some little note of
what they do. For this reason an affair
which occurred yesterday, and which was
the subject of remark and much unfayor-
able comment by all who were cognizant
Of the fact must be mentioned. The per
formances around town of MH. Mckee
yer, who is well known to about everybody
in Cheyenne, are referred to. In the
forenoon she got into some sort of u rum
pus with people in the neighborhood
where she resides, south Of the track.
Whether she was in the right or wrong
is not known. The result of the trouble
which she took a hand in early in the fore
noon was, that some of the parties who
felt themselves aggrieved over her conduct
appeared before Judge Lee and procured
a warrant for her arrest. This document
was placed in the hands of Officer Nolan,
who proceeded to look after the lady. In
the meantime Mn. McKeever had taken
in u liberal supply of the extract of rye,
and proceeded to make her way up to the
business portion of the city for the pur
pose, as it would seem, of making
trouble with somebody. She went
first to Judge Fishers Office and stated
her grievances, but the story which she
told did not seem to interest the Judge to
n very alarming extent. She wanted a
warrant or two for some Of her refrac-
tory neighbors, and she proposed to show
that she lived in that part Of the city
especially when she was at home. Her
language was very offensive, and when
she was demonstrated with she only re-
sponded by making things more lively than
ever, Finally she turned on the Judge
and proceeded to abuse him, so far as it is
possible for a person other culture to abuse
u gentleman. AT last she became so
mean and abusive that she had to be
forcibly elected from the office. She then
directed her footstepst to Judge Lees office,
and wagged her tongue most o%utrageously
and abusively. Among other things
which she wanted to have distinctly under
stood, was that the Judge was anything
but II gentleman. In fact, he was a fool
and a tyrant, and she stated furthermore
that she was able to lick him. She knew
she could, and it wouldn t take six words
Of back talk from him to do so right then
and there. Another thing which greatly
agitated her mind was the newspaper re
porters. They were a villainous set any
how, and she was going to show them
what was what. Nolan, who had been
out hunting for her with the warrant
finally came III, and AZ soon as he did the
amiable old lady tackled him and proceed
ed to give him an awful raking down.
She found somebody this time who did
not hesitate to talk back" at her, where
upon she challenged him out to fight. She
said she could lick him if he would only
anf into sba u,tllla 80 A.. ..u..,
The outcome of the matter was that
Nolan marched her down stairs and
across the street to the calaboose.
Near the door of that institution she
broke away and ran toward Marks x My
ers corner. Nolan caught her, however,
and marched her back, after which she
began to weaken. She said she would
behave herself and 20 home like a good
little girl, and furthermore, she wouldn't
drink any more whisky nor throw any
more stones at her neighbor's houses if
Nolan would only let her go without lock
ing her up. Finally the officer marched
her up stairs and locked her up and left
her to screech and howl to her hearts
content. When she had sufficiently 80
bered up she was let out, and in company
with her son, who had been trying to keep
her quiet all day, went home, and is to
appear again this morning when she will
be called upon to answer for her actions.
She also in her perambulations around
the city, grossly abused and insulted many
others besides those mentioned, and it was
the subject of general remark that no such
exhibition of pure cussedness on general
principles has been seen in the city for
many years. ..
