Conductor Deitrick, at the time of the
collision at Colorado Junction during the
late storm, performed a gallant deed.
The train, of which he had charge, was
at the time on the side track, but the
engine had gone on a trip to help No. 3
over the hill" Deitriek, who was on
the top of the train and seeing the engine
returning and that through some mistake
it was inevitably destined to run into his
train rushed back to the rear end of the
train and at the peril of his own life
dashed into the imperiled caboose, with
the approaching engine close at hand,
and threw out his wife and two or three of
the small children into the snow bank and
then jumped himself just as the engine
struck the caboose dashing it to pieces.
As it was they all had a very narrow
escape but fortunately no one of the in
mates of the caboose were injured.

Fencing in the Ranges.

In sending information to the United
States senate recently, Secretary of the
Interior Teller stated that the practice of
illegally fencing public lands exists
throughout the west to a very great ex-
tent. He claimed that his special agents
have reported many fraudulent entries of
lands by stock men, made simply for the
purpose of controlling water rights, and he
stated that these lands are fenced in un-
authorizedly to the benefit of the large
stock men and the great detriment of the
smaller cattle men and the settlers. Com
menting on this, the Denver Republican
claims that this revival of the subject by
the secretary has stirred up the stock men
again to a discussion of the policy of
fencing in their ranges. Many of them
already have their pastures enclosed by
wire fences, but a large majority have not,
and not even all of those who have favor
the fences. 1t is the general opinion of
stock men all oyer the west that the
fences must go. In the old
days, when the ranges werean not crowd
ed and the herds had plenty of
room, the fences were thought to be the
correct thing, and were built. They
could be used to enclose bulls and beef
cattle sometimes, and when the feed in
side was eaten close, or became insufficient
from other causes, the cattle would be
turned out upon the range. But a
change has come in the last few years.
The ranges have filed up with stock
and the fences have multiplied until they
have become a drawback to cattle grazing,
and a general clamor for their removal has
arisen. The open ranges have become
too small to afford the cattle susteuance,
and general selishness has advanced to
the point where general liberality must
succeed it. Barring the comprehensive
accusation against the cattlemen of fraud
ulent entries, which is entirely too general,
Secretary Teller's report upon the fence
question will be endorsed by them.
Cattle raising has become toe much of a
legitimate business in Colorado, and the
ranges are already too fully occupied by
stock men to allow of fraudulent land
entries here, although in New Mexico,
Montana and Washington Territory the
charge of the special agents of the interior
department may hold good. The fences
on the ranges, however, must go, and
most of the Colorado cattle men have

For several years past the race track of
the Cheyenne Driving Park association
has been lying idle, but there are encour-
aging promises now that the coming
season will witness a series of brilliant
turf events A number of e~nterprising
gentlemen who are interested in fine
horses are about to organize for the pur-
pose of putting the race track in an
excellent condition for the season s
work. These are the Honorables Phil
Dater, H. Oelrichs, j. II. Ford, r, S.
Van Tassell, Farnk Kemp and w. r.
Whiteman. The last namen gentleman
has ordered from the east a "Griffen'
drag, or road machine, which is now on
its way thither. This machine is intended
to put the worst of tracks in the best
possible condition for racing purposes.
Other improvements are contemplated
which, when completed, will make our
driving park one of the best in the west.
Clifton Bell, the well known manager of
the Denver driving parks, is in the city
arranging wi q Phaoe ia thc NeStciH cli-
cult for Cheyenne. This circuit embraces
Denver, Boulder, Cheyenne, Salt Lake
and Leadville. 1t is thought that at the
close of the Denver meeting, Cheyenne
will next be visited, which date is set for
the DIST day of May next As about one
hundred horses are promised for the Dem
yer meeting, a very good turnout may be
expected in Cheyenne. Mr.. Bell is meet
ing with fiattering success in his mission,
and our lovers of the turf are in fine
prospect of a season of great enjoyment.

Home From Kansas.

Hon. j. w. Snyder, representing one
of the largest cattle interests in this sec.
ton of the country, returned last evening
from an inspection of the infected cattle
districts in Kansas. Mr.. Snyder, in
company with others, visited a number
of herds where he found cattle diseased
about the feet only, and in the herd of
Mr.. Hendeman he found one animal
which, on account of all four feet being
affected, he purchased for twenty-five
dollars, killed the animal, cut off the feet
and sent them to different agricultural
colleges In all the herds examined by
Mr. Snyder he found the stock had been
fed on wild rye with any amoun of
ergot through it. Mr.. Snyder brought
home a bunch Of this hay that the people
of Wyoming might see for themselves
what kind of feed they live on. He also
visited the Beard herd and found that
Beard had fed his herd, Of seventy-fye
head, part Of the time on corn fodder, and
hat only four head showed any sign Of
the disease, and only one of them was
badly affected, He visited Mr.. Pribin-
naws herd of 1873 head and found sixteen
more or less affected, and these cattle
were only diseased on account of the feed,
as on the same place other cattle which
were fed on upland hay were not IN
any way affected, MI. Snyder had a long
talk with DR., Salmon, of Washington,
and Professor NJ. Stalker, of Ames
college, Iowa, and also G. C. Favilles, of
Fort Collins, and each one of these parties
gave as their opinion that the disease was
not contagious. Mr.. Snyder also saw
and eonyersed with Mr.. Simon Beattie, of
Andan, Scotland. Mr.. Beattie is an
experienced stock man, in this country as
well as Scotland In all his experience,
which has covered Il period of thirty years,
he has never seen any such a disease
before, And being well acquainted with
the foot and mouth disease is perfectly
competent to say that there has been no
foot and mouth disease in Kansas. Mr..
Snyder also visited the McCreary herd, in
Osborne county, Kansas, and found that
his cattle had been fed on the same feed
as above described. He found them
affected proportionately as other herds
had been on the same feed, but his
neighbor's cattle, which had been fed on
prairie hay only, were not in the least
affected. Mr.. Snyder doesn't hesitate to
say, judging from a most thorough obser.
walton, and his association, during all the
time he has been in Kansas, with promi-
nent veterinary surgeons, hat the foot
and mouth disease in that state only exists
in imagination. There are very many
other points which Mr.. Snyder touched
upon an interview with a LEADER re.
porter last evening, but as they have in
the main been alluded to in our tele,
graphic dispatches We omit them.

Coy. Hale returned on Sunday morn
ing from his trip to Omaha. As it was
raining during the entire week that the
governor was there he did not get the
benefit from the "trip that he expected,
but was kept indoors all the while, How
ever, he is stronger than before and gives
promise of mending rapidly. He is at
tending to business as usual and feels
cheerful. In a few weeks he may take a
trip to California, which, he anticipates,
will benefit him vastly. His many friends
will join fervently in the hope.

YELLOWSTONE Park.

w. r. Stebbins, our former townsman,
who is principal owner in the Merchants
National bank at D~eadwood, Dakota;
First National bank, of Billings, Montana;
and also of banks at Livingston and Miles
City and Buffalo, Wyoming, has just been
appointed receiver for the Yellowstone
National Park Improvement company.
Among the assets of this concern are the
Mammoth Hot Springs hotel, with num-
erous other valuable public improvements.
Mr.. Rufus Hatch, the prominent New
York banker, put two hundred thousand
dollars cash into this valuable property.
Now that Mr.. Stebbins has assumed the
management of this vast enterprise, we
may look forward to free entertainments
for all Cheyenners who are so fortunate rs
to meander within its handsome
precincts; that is, in our minds eyel Mr..
Stebbins will look closely after this fine
summer resort of the invigorating north
west, and it is safe to predict that he won't
run any grand, free-gratis monster excur-
sions like did Uncle Rufus Hatch for the
benefit Of few British snobs, who felt
that they had struck a big bonanza in the
shape of a free ride, a free lunch and a
free-for-aI of their peculiar ilk. Mr..
Stebbins knows the west, its wants, its
needs and its people. If there be any
thing financially in the great Yellowstone
Park, he'll bring it out in good shape and
upon short notice. The park is destined to
be the grand summer center ofthe Ameri-
can continent, and it couldn't have fallen
into more competent nor better hands
than those of Mr.. Stebbins, who is IA
host in himself ..r
