A Poor-PAn,s Elm.
A Drunken Man Knocked Down and
Robbed During Daylight.

About . o'clock yesterday afternoon as
Judge Williams was passing through the
the alley in the rear ofSchweickert' S hard
ware store, he found a man lying upon a
pile Of stable refuse in the rear offs barn,
in an apparent state Of sublime ~intoxiea-
ton. As he approached the fellow, a
clerk at Schweickert' rushed through the
barn and exclaimed rs he hurt? He
has been knocked down and robbed 7
1t seems that the clerk had occasion TO
visit the barn and had just gained a spot
where he could obtain a view of the alley,
when he saw two men standing near where
the drunken man had fallen. A moment
later he heard noises which led him to be-
lieve something wreng was being done.
Rushing to the alley he found the man
lying on the refuse while the other fellow
was running at his best pace down the al
ley. The clerk gave chase, but the robber,
for such he was, scaled a high board
fence, ran through several buildings,
doubled and ran through the barn and
escaped over another fence.
The clerk was lust returning TO the in
jured man when he met the attorney.
The man who was robbed was really
drunk and had probably been enticed into
the alley with the intention of robbing
him. He had been struck a powerful
blow across the face with some heavy OBJ
ject and was not in condition to lucidly ex-
plain the event The foot-pad secured
only $3.50.
He is described as a tall and rather slen-
der fellow, with a shaven face and a small
but dark mustache. The name of the in
inred man was not ascertained.

THEY WE'RE NOT ALL THERE.
Some Additions to a So-CalIed Sails
factory Statement.

Under the caption of Some Salts
factory Statements" the Sun of yester-
day published what purported to be
several statements from prominent people
in the city, to the effect that they had
never lost any money through the peculiar
financial transactions of Mr.. Fred f.
Goodrich. The article published in this
paper on the previous day is referred to
as sensational in its character and an en-
deavor made to Gust reflections upon its
truthfulness.
The article, as published in THE
LEADER of Thursday morning, was true
in every detail nevertheless, The subject
had become town talk, and instead of
adopting any subterfuges to shield a man,
for no other reason than on account of
his social standing, this paper published
his name.
A check for 800 was given by Good
rich to Gray & Pearse on July 81, for
cash which he borrowed. The check was
dishonored at the First National bank.
This money has not since beef paid.
Gray < Pearse's signature was noticeable
by its absence in the list published in the
Sun.
a paper was signed by Cowhick Il
Whitcomb, stating that Goodrich had
paid $40 for money which he borrowed on
a check that was no good. The paper
which the firm signed was ambiguously

The late Union Pacific strikers here re-
sumed work yesterday morning and every
thing progressed as though no Interrupt
ton had occurred. The news from other
points have been meager, but it is pre-
sumed hat the men have returned to
work all along the line.
1t is learned from a gentleman, who ar
rived from Laramie City yesterday, that
while the strike was in progress there a
number of cowboys came into the town.
They were not long in erecting a wrong
conception of the situation and evidently
thought the strikers were also riotersl
After drinking more or less of DR.. Hay
ford's bed-bug poison they started for the
railroad yards with the intention of hay
ing more fun than they could carry.
But, upon arriving at the yards, they
found a strong guard patrolling the place.
The strikers had learned of the contem-
plated expedition of the cowboys and
voluntarily turned out for the protection
of the railroad. Unbeknown to them,
that very act also protected their reputa-
ton and won for them and their cause the
support of many people.

Mr.. L. @. Whipple has had the calm
serenity ofhis days, and sweet oblivion of
his nights, rudely disturbed lately by the
guerilla eccentricities of a wandering COW.
Her bovine ladyship has perpetrated deeds
which, were it permitted to speak thereof,
would harrow up the readers soul, even
as she has the carefully cared for lawn at
Mr.. Whipple's home. Mr.. Whipple
swore-or at least expressed a desire for
revenge. Last night he rode a fence the
way a man rides a horse, until his patience
and other portions of his being were ex-
ceeding weary. At last he caught the
COW in the act and a moment afterwards
by the horns. Last night, at the time
grave yards are said to yawn, a solitary
man might have been seen walking along
the street with a shot gun, a rope and
COW. The COW is now in the pound, and
Mr. Whipple feelsas though he could pass
the Day of Rest in a Christian spirit fitting
to the occasion.

%PosToFFIcE PoINrERs.
onicial Information Regarding the Pro
posed Removal OF the PostodHc e.

The announcement of the contemplated
removal of the Postofice to Sixteenth
street, and the industrious circulation of
petitions in opposition to any change, are
still fresh in the minds of the readers of
THE LEADER. Some inclined to the
opinion hat the volummous petitions
against the removal would accomplish their
purpose, while others thought that de-
cided action had already been taken by the
Postmaster General, and that the petit
tons would arrive in Washington too late
to be considered in connection with what
ever deliberations might be had in the
matter, and would therefore be unavailing.
Those who were opposed to a change in
the location Of the Office will doubtless be
pleased to learn that the petitions will re-
ceiye due consideration, as the following
extract from a communion, received in
this city Yesterday, will show:
Postofice Department.
Ofice Of the First Assistant Postmaster General.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
August IL, 1884.
SR,-I have to say hat the report of
the Postofhce Inspector, who recently
visited Cheyenne City, Wyoming Ter
ritory, for the purpose Of investigating
the subject of a proposed change in the
location of the Postofice at that place,
has not been received, and that no action
will be taken in the matter until after all
parties interested shall have been given
an opportunity to have a hearing. Very
respectfully,
tSigned) JAMES H. MARR,
Acting First Assistant Post
master General.

A case was commenced in Justice Lees
court Yesterday which reveals a rather in
teresting family affair. 1t seems that
while the three-year-old child ola certain
estimable lady was playing near her door
it was teased and then assaulted by a num-
Der Of colored children who were all sew
eral years its senior. The child's mother,
who by the way is a rather delicate lady,
naturally rushed to its rescue, when she
was in turn assaulted by the dusky and
powerful mother of the other children.
The case was postponed yesterday, but to-
morrow the evidence will be heard.

George washington swayback.

George Washington Swayback is in the
city. The average reader may discover
nothing startling in that fact, but when it
is further stated that George Washington
Swayback is n prominent member of the
Detroit Lime Kiln club, the aforesaid
reader may possibly squander a little in
terest upon the announcement. Now,
George Washington Swayback in not out
here for his health,
He is a Man with a Mission.
The Mission which brings George
Washington Swayback to these far away
regions is a philanthopic one, with which
is nicely blended a minor feature partially
financial in ita way. George Washington
Swayback is not a very aged Darkey nor
4 very dark Darkey, not yet a very con-
s%picuous Darkey in the political field.
But he works with a persistence which is
positively dreadful, and he has hopes. He
has not shown his papers, but he talks
about Brudder Gardner, Waydown Beebe
aad other lights of the Lime Kiln club,
and by his winning way Of lucidly stating
incoherent things so that no one can un-
derstand him, nobody has ever for a
moment doubted his statements. His
mission is TO reform and educate the peo-
| pie to the end that either Cleveland or
Butler may be the next tenant Of the
White House with a four year
lease in his pocket. This mission
be proposes to accomplish from
the lecture platform. He came to Tar
LEADER yesterday and asked this paper
to aid and abet his fell design. He came
early, and regularly, and often, and is
getting ready to come some more. While
the wisdom of drawing n check for any
sum he might wish was being discussed,
he gave a small and select audience Q
specimen of his oratory.
He said:
MY argy is Ben Butler or Cleveland.
l served in the war-I fired a steamboat
boiler, l did. MY lengthenal argy and
common sense Of my speech what would
by the wise derive of the yumans being,
of their talent who be of the yuman be

The other day while the Postofice was
crowded with people who were waiting for
the distribution of the mail, n dude, OF
the English variety of the species, walked
in'with that peculiar ambling gait which
reminds one ofa pair of bans. (Joke.)
After critically observing the crowd with
a strange-kind of-animals-these air, he APP
preached one of the delivery windows,
which was, of course, closed at that hour.
After a rather detailed inspection of "ther
deal slide, you know, " he became inspired.
He raped upon the window with the
head of his cane. Some smiled. He
raped again. The crowd laughed. He
raped long and vigorously. The merri-
ment was unrestrained. He had com
menced another assault when Postmaster
Jones opened the window. No sooner
was the portal opened than the bland in
quiry was made, DO you sell sthamps
ere, you know ?" The window closed
with an expressive bang and the much
perplcxed Englishman ambled away
amidst the laughter of the crowd. As he
passed out he was heard to remark, is
that the way they treat the nobility in this
ere blwasted country By Jove, you

Mr.. Lockhart, the agent of the Singer
Machine company, who came here Friday
night for the purpose of investigating the
business Affairs Of the man Turner, an
account of whose disappearance was pub
lished in The LEADER yesterday, had not
completed his labors last night. SO far
as ascertained Turner'S accounts are found
correct. A receipt for his rent to August
Is is in the possession of Mr.. Lockhart,
and, indeed, it now appears that Turner
has been honorable in his dealing with
the Singer company. The account of his
individual debts and intrigues, published
yesterday, is still further s~ubstantiated.
Letters of his to the widow, who is a pro-
minent figure in the scandal, failed to
reach their intended destination and have
been returned to this city. They are now
in the possession Of parties who do not
care to appear publicly in the matter.
The evidence thus furnished is said to be
both conclusive and racy.

Two men had a decidedly bitter alterca-
ton yesterday afternoon while standing on
the sidewalk in front of Jacques Braun
saloon on Fifteenth street. One of the
men became particularly excited and drew
a revolver. The other n was game and
rushed into a neighboring place where he
secured a weapon ofthe class which makes
all men equal. Outsiders promptly inter
fered and the flow of gore was prevented.
The eombatants separated and the affair
was dropped. No arrests.

to the Lime Kiln Club for money with
which to return to Detroit and trouble
may be expected in the club,



1t is stated that Mr.. John Chase was
barred by those who desired to participate
in the races yesterday afternoon. He APP
peared on the streets with an express
wagon in which a large arm chair did
duty as a seat, while a suspiciously rusty
looking horse was the motive power. HIS
highly polished plug hat shone resplend
ent in the sunlight, and a smile of the
child-like and bland order added to the
naturally innocent expression of his
countenance. But the adopts in horse
flesh who had entered their flyers in the
races could not be fooled by such a ring
err" They noticed that the horse had a
strong mouth, while their keen eyes and
matured judgments soon observed the
splendid action Of the animal which was
apparent through all DISCUSSES. 1t was a
w~ind-splitter in masquerade, surel They
were too smart to bite at such bait. They
were no dove-eyed Ounces from the effete
East. Not if their court knew itself, and
she reckoned she did. That horse can be
purchased for s57, spot cash or approved
security Fact
