Drowned in snake River.
Idaho Register.

On Monday, June 8, party of
nearly half dozen men who were
witnesses on the Stokes case, started
to 90 from American Falls to Challis.
Severel of them were in a wagon and
had crossed the river on ferry boat
and were waiting for one Brigham
Chase, who was going on horseback.
Mr. Campbell had taken the boat to
the east side of the river, and was
about going to his breakfast when
Chase came, whom he permitted to
take the boat over. Chase rode his
horse on the bow and hitched him to
the railing, and started the boat; he
did not let out the line, consequently
the current struck the boat squarely
broad side. When in the middle of
the river, the current struck each end
with about the same force and the
boat commenced to dip and was about
to 90 under. His friends called to
him to get on his horse, which be did
Just as the boat went down. In his
excitement, however, he had forgot
ten that the horse was still tied to the
boat, he was consequently carried
down stream with the raging current
probably never to be seen again
While the boat and his horse are under
water In the middle of the river.

If fathers would realize the fact that once
they themselves were boys and had
longings for the circus, they would be
more liberal and occasionally give the boy
a little spending money and let him go to
the circus. The chances are ten to one,
old boy, that you slid up some back street
and took it in and told the old lady you
were put collecting or had to meet a
friend in regard to some mining scheme.
You wouldn't scold the boy because he
borrowed your best pants and his mother S
gold hintbLe and pawned them at Mr.,
Pognoskwis-wis-wasku for seventy-ive
cents to get money enough to see the fat
woman, the white elephant, and the
clown with his ne,e jokes, Old fellow, you
have done worse thingsGyourself, if only
some one should give you away Be
charitable and get the boy a new pair of
pants, and while you are about it get him
a whole suit-a shirt waist, new hat and
shoes. He will promise not to do so
again.
Perhaps we might interest you with a
stylish four button cutaway coat or a
brown worsted Prince Albert, a new
style Stetson " Fedora hat, a scarf pin,
a pair of gloves and a pair of Burt &
Mears' boots, a suit of underwear, collars
and cuffs, some fancy hosiery. an umbrella,
&c. We merely suggest this. If the
mother came along too, to offer a tclc
suggestions-"just a few"-we should be
pleased to show you all through our mil
linery, dress goods, cloak, suit, hosiery,
shoe, and notion department. You will
see some beautiful goods, an immense
quantity and at prices which you will say
are exceedingly reasonable. You will
wonder how Cheyenne can support such
an immense establishment But we have

Sudden and Unexpected Death of ''Tcd'
Caesar Yesterday Afternoon.

Edward Caesar, fnmiliarly known as
Ted died suddenly yesterday afternoon
of pneumonia at the County hospital,
whittier he had gone about two hours be-
fore. Ted was an old timer in Chey
emo and has been an employee of Hon.
David Miller in his iewelry store for
the greater part of the time
for the past eleven years.
He was a native of England, but came to
this country in 1872 and was a little over
80 years of age. For some time previous
to his death he had been employed by
Mr.. \. Adamsky at his establishment on
Eddy street, but for a few days past has
been quite unwell. Yesterday morning,
however, he swept out the store and
opened up for business, but complaining
that he felt very badly, Mr.,
Adamsky advised him not to try
to work and in the afternoon
he went around town a little and called
among other places at Colonel Murrin's.
1t was apparent, however, that he was in
IA very critical condition and toward night
he was taken to the County hospital
where he died in u very short time. Hon.
David Miller. Mr.. Adamsky and other
friends of the deceased are making
arrangements for his funeral, which will
be held at 3 O'Clock this afternoon from
the Episcopal church. Ted was Il
quiet, honest, industrious young man who
always tried to do what was right and will
be missed by many an old resident of
CHEYENNE.

G. w. Checsman is in the city, having
just arrived from C9ur d'Alenc. He
stated to n LEADER reporter that he was
in the very heart of the so-called mining
region. 1t took him and his party five
days TO get to the mines, starting at Trout
Creek, on the railroad. They had snow
all the way, which in some places was
twelve feet deep, and dragged a sled,
which contained their outfit and pro
visions. He estimates there are three or
four thousand persons within a circle of
ten miles. To a query as to the supposed
quantity of gold in the mines, he said ::
1T is impossible to say whether the
mines are rich are not. All | know is, |
saw some gold and PANIED some out my
self" At the mines the snow is going
away pretty rapidly and in a short time it
will be demonstrated whether fabulous
finds will be made. He said he would
not advise anyone to take many chances
with reference to the mines. He con
firms all previous reports as to high prices
and destitution of many people there.

THE EauEsTR1ENNE RACE.
Quite I Lively Time at the Trotting
Park.

--
About a hundred people all told,
gathered at the Trotting park yesterday
afternoon to witness the equcstrienne race
between Miss Oliver, of California, and
Miss Williams, of Topeka, Ks. The race
track, though not in good trim for a
t~rotting match, was nevertheless in good
condition for Il running race. There was
considerable delay for some reason in
making the start, caused probably by
n misunderstanding as to the time when
the trial Of speed of the horses and skill
of the lady riders were to take place.
Miss Williams, who is a sprlghly little
blonde, appeared in a blue riding habit,
while her fair competitor, Miss Oliver,
who is the taller of the two, with jet black
hair and eyes, appeared arrayed in a wine
colorcd riding dress. Both ladies are ex-
cellent riders and the race did not disclose
any difference in skill IN that respect. q.
7. Seabury, w. II. Wightman and
Thomas Mulqueen officiated as judges and
referees. At fifteen minutes past 3 the
word go" was given, Miss Oliver hay
ing the inside of the track. They were
to make eight times around the track
(which is a half mile cOurse) and change
horses every mile. The first half mile
was made by both riders but Miss Oliver
won the first mile. The change wa made
to fresh horses by both ladies
very quickly, both dismounting for that
purpose instead of springing from one
horse to the other after the style of
Mimic Pinnco. Miss Williams was far
ahead when the second mile was accom-
plished, Miss divers second horse being
almost a failure. Miss Williams kept the
lead for the remainder of the time and
won the race, making the four miles in
9-l5.
At 2:3O this afternoon there will be a
free for-all one-halfmile dash at the Park,
in which ladies' and gentlemen may enter.
The second race will be one-and-a-quarter
miles. In this race Miss Williams will
ride Oscar g., who won the steeple chase
at Denver, and Miss Oliver will ride Tom
Booth. The closing race will be a mile
dash over hurdles three feet high. Several
city people will probably enter and the
two visiting equestriennes will appear in
all the races.
