Poor Goldacker is Deceived and Adam
doned to UnfeeIlng Charity.

One George P. Goldacker is represent
cd as the writer of a letter published in
the Sun yesterday morning, and dated at
Berthoud. Colorado. The sentiments
expressed in the letter were doubtless
warranted by the said Goldacker, but
those who have survived a perusal of n
of Goldacker's literary efforts, need not to
be informed thatthe Dug hcorners, and the
fantastic grammar, and the unnatural or
biography and the masked ideas which
characterized the original letter, were
taken as the basis for a coherent one and
SO moulded by the Sun.
Mr.. Goldacker is modestly but persist
emily achieving a reputation as a monu-
mental liar; he is not yet quite perfect,
but be appears to be hopeful and conf
dent and will no doubt soon acquire the
fame for which he pines. He claims that
he has sent his family 800 during the
past fourteen months, and seems to won
der that his wife and children are
not rolling in Oriental luxury He
asserts that his wife has an income of $l2
per month from the rental of two rooms,
and with an air of injured innocence dra-
m~atically exclaims ''see what | have
done" This all means that if Mrs. Col
dacker manages to support her neglected
family he is modestly willing to take the
glory as his share Of the undertaking. In
his letter he literally adds insult to injury
by accusing his wife of deceiving him !
Poor, injured, wronged, abused, upright,
virtuous Goldacker, in the ~profundity of
his simplicity and innocence he is deceived
He intimates that he may come prowl-
ing around THE LEADER office for bloody
satisfaction. The latch string hangs on
the outside Of the door and the editor is
always to be found. To quote a prominent
business man who yesterday expressed his
sentiments of Goldacker, IF he comes
back to Cheyenne he should be welcomed
with demonstrative cordially and be pre-
sented with an overcoat Of feathers lined
with tar"
Commenting on Goldacker's alleged
letter the Sun candidly expresses its sen
timents as follows:
'The observations of Mr.. Goldacker are
all well enough, yet at the same time it
has not seemed to be just the right thing
for a mar to do to apply for a marriage
license in order to marry a second time
while he is not yet known to be divorced
from his first wife. In Utah. among the
Mormons, this method of procedure
might be considered the thing" but
among civilized people there is a slight
question of propriety as well as legality.
As to being deceived, it is Just possible
that Mrs. Goldacker may have reason to
consider that such has been her expert
ence."

The Republicans Of Littlefeld's mills, in Alfred
flung out beautiful Blaine and Logan flag on

asm. The Sanford band, VIM. Bennett, leader, gave
stirring music. After speeches by local speakers,
cheers for the flag, and Blaine and Logan, whose
portraits were in the center, and Robe ana Reed,
whose names were on the bottom, the crowd pro-
ceeded to the Town Hall and organized a Blaine
and Logan club, with Sylvester Littefeld for presi-
dent DR.. j. f. Day, Thomas Hall and John c.

his ambition or thwarted his schemes.-Provdence

Where the Man Who Recently DazzIed
Winthrop Got His Money.

Tom Coffin who dszz.ed Winthrop some
time ago by his lavish use of money turns out
to be a swiDdler. The story comes from Red
Lake Falls, Minnesota, that he with his
brother, f. f. Coffin of Usage, Iowa, and W.
A. Kirkham OF Fargo, Dakota, have been en-
gagged in deep scheme to swindle Carl
Kre:zchman, a Minnesota capitalist who owns
extensive estate in and about Red Lake Falls.
They had formed with Kretzchman milling
and lumber Company with capital Of $4,000,
and Tom Coffin had disposed of bonds of half
this amount in the East for the company.
KretZchman continued extensive improve
ments of the property, though his partners had
not paid the purchase money. Thomas Colin
proposed the building OF a railroad to connect
the place with the Minnesota system. The
citizens had assumed a large share of the cost
and work was proceeding when Cofhn's attor-
ney came, ischarged the men without pay
ment and was leaving, when he was arrested.
1t was then learned that Coffin was in Canada
with the plumber which he has secured from
the sale of the corporations stock aud bonds.
1t ia reported that few years ago the COT
fns sold bonds of the Red Lake Falls company
to parties in Winthrop, Skowhegan, Water
vile and Pennington, ana all over the State.
One gentleman now living in Wilton pur-
chased to the amount of 10000. 1t WAS
clean swindle, for the bonds were not worth
one cent. Several wealthy and Influential
citizen of Winthrop were badly heeced. For
the last five or six months Thomas has been
stopping in Boston, though pretending he was
ont West. About one month ago he suddenly
returned TO Winthrop, sold his stand for $685.
600 TO l.. T.. Carlton, his attorney, packed up
his goods and shipped them TO Montreal. Tom
then went West in order to consummate, IL is
supposed, the sWindle.

gress Hall.

Yesterday a portion of the executive COM
mittee OF the Democratic State Committee

ters with Judge Redman, their candidate for

ponent for Congress.
In the evening the Democratic City Com
mittee and members of the party assembled at

man, the Democratic nominee for governor.
The hall was we'll filed. Just after o'clock,

Alderman Winslow, chairman Of the City
Committee, amidst applause. Mr.. Winslow,
tue chairman of the meeting, in introducing
Judge Rsdman, said that this was merely an
informal reception, aud no set speeches would
be made. Mr.. Rsdman spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Friends:
1 assure you that am very grateful for this re-
ception Whatever the result of this campaign
may be, assure you that this heartfelt handshak-
ing that have been greeted with and the goodwill

that this would be an informal meeting. But if
| This is the size of your city committee have no
| doubt of the result in Portland when the Eth Of
| September comes. (Applause). regard this re-
ception not SO much as a tribute to me, but as an
| expression of your appreciation Of the national
ticket which the great Democratic convention put
| in nomination at Chicago 1t was a great eOnven-
| ton; great in number, ability and result ZAP
plause when in concluding its labOrs it placed In
nomination for President the champion of the
young Democracy and associated with his name
| that of a great and pure statesman, Thomas A.
| Hendricks. (Applause). | might speak Of the
beautiful buildings of that city Of the West and the
hospitality with which your delegates we're received
by MIR. Kimbal once a citizen of our own State I
| am not here for formal speech-making, but am
he to tell you that the watchword OF the cam
| paign Will be Cleveland and Hendricks; reform
and an honest ADMINISTRATION" (Much applause),
That call will be heard from the shores u the Z
lantic to the golden gate of the Pacific. Using the
words of another 1 will say that when the ldes OF
November come. there will be such a storm of pa
per bul cts that the cOrrnptiOnists will find them
| selves repulsed
Gentlemen, | am glad to meet and make the &C.
quantance of this large city committee. (Applause).
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Redman's remarks,
| he stepped down from the platform and a
| number of prominent Democrats paid their re-
| spects TO him,

Saturday ABOUT o'clock p. m. heavy clouds
began to gather about the upper end of Pennes-
seewassee and threatened sudden end OF ev-
erything at that point. Lightning flashed,
thunder rolled and the wind howled. But
little rain fell at first, then in few moments
the black clouds seemed TO drop like smoke
over the eastern shore, leaving all of tho lake
surface clear to observers upon the west side,
while out of it, all of a sudden arose balloon
shaped mass, the color OF stsam, steady in its
movement, but not motionless. The house
known as the VIM. Crockett stand was first in
line. With o roar the air was soon filed with
barn doors, boards, shingles and other material
and the clouds passed on, leaving a roofless
barn, uprooted trees, etc. The next in line
was fine sugar orchard on the Parsons stand
owned by Isaac Titcomb, where large old
NAPLES were snapped off like reeds Directly
in line about quarter of a mile away was the
farm buildings occupied by Mr.. Tltcomb and
his fsther-in-law, Mr.. Parsons. Here the gale
seemed at its height. The great barn was
stripped in twinkling. Roof boards % feet
in length were torn up as if but straws and
hurled through the air. Large barn doors few
were torn apart while in the air and carried 3
full mile from the house.
