Boston Cor. Chicago Tribune.
A gentleman who was one of the COMMITTEES
of Dartmouth students who had in charge
the details of the meeting in Boston some
twenty-seven or twenty-eight years since, at
which Rufus Choate delivered a lecture in
aid of the fund for a memorial to Daniel
Webster, relates an interesting incident con-
nected with the occasion. The subject of the
address was "Poets OF the First Quarter of
the Nineteenth Century" or something of
the sort, and the reputation Of Mr.. Choate's
eloquence had filed to its utmost capacity the
hall where the meeting was held. A few
moments before the time fixed for the be-
ginning of the address the speaker sent for
Mr.. r, the gentleman who tells the story, to
come to him in the ants-room. Mr.. r. found
the great man exceedingly nervous and UNI
easy, pacing up aud Town the room with his
Ms. in his hand.

pie of that village thought they had
come down there as a special COM
mittee Of the legislature to see about

Others thought they had come down to
see whether there was a chance to rent

there for some extraordinary purpose,

Leroy Donovan, convicted for the
murder of William Leighton at Hock

yesterday. Donovan was % years old.

by some he was supposed to be the son
of John d. Lee, the Mormon, of Noun
tain Meadows massacre notoriety. He
killed Leighton for his money. Dono-
van was the first white man executed
In Wyoming by process of law.
The above is not strictly true, and
the heading to this item. which is a
special dispatch to the Omaha Bee, is
altogether wrong, as there has been
three legal executions in Wyoming
since its organization. Two of them
were, to be sure, half breeds, but some
people classify such as white men, and
whether this is the case or not it will
do no harm to state that John Boyer
was the first man ever hanged in Wyo.

old grout building still standing back
of the Revolution store and fronting on
Sixteenth street, in the latter part of
November, 1882. This was for the
murder of a man by the name of Davis,
If we mistake not, some distance north
Of Cheyenne. Boyer broke Jail before
his execution, but was caught with
both feet frozen. jeff Carr did the
hanging.

escaped, but was captured by the mill
tary near old Red Cloud agency and
brought back to Cheyenne. At the
time Of the terrible fire that occurred
on the night of July Sd, 1874, when the
city was or fire in fourteen different
places at the same time, it was sup
posed that the fire had been set by half
breed friends of his to aid in the scheme
for his rescue, especially. While the
fires were raging a telegram was re-
ceived stating that 700 Indians had
made their appearance In the Chug val
ley that afternoon headed this way.
Five companies of cavalry came down
from Fort Russell and were posted on
the streets leading out of Cheyenne to
the north and east and remained until
morning. Toussaint died game but
wanted permission to take off his

Imagine some one who hates you with the
utmost intensity grabbing a handful of your
hair while you are lying PROSTATE and helps
less, and giving it a sudden jerk upward with
force enough almost to loosen the scalp; then,
while this painful sensation is not relaxed,
imagine the non-particularly sharp blade of
a knife being run quickly in a circle around
your scalp with a saw-like motion. Then let
your imagination grasp IL it can the effect
that n strong, quick jerk on the tuft of hair
to release the scalp from any clinging par
ticles that may still hold 1t in place would
have on your nervous and physical systems,
and you will have some idea how 1t feels to
be scalped. When that Indian sawed his
knife around the top of my head first a sense
OF cold numbness pervadod my whole body.
This was quickly followed by a flash of pain
that started at my feet and ran like an cleo
trio shock to my brain. That was not mo-
mentary, but it was terrible.
When the Indian tore my scalp from my
head it seemed as II it must AVE been con-
nected with cords to every part of the body.
The pain that followed the cutting around
the scalp had been frightful, but it was
ecstay compared with the torture that fol
lowed the tearing of it from my head.
Streaks of pain shot to every nerve. NY
knees were drawn up almost to my chin, and
my fingers closed convulsively together. in
the snow, and that was all / remembered
When | came to l was in a tent. The cavalry
had come up in the meantime, and the In
dians were routed. Only a few escaped, but
Black-Kettle was among them. A comrade
told me that he had shot and killed the In
dian who scalped me, but the scalp was not
recovered at any rate. 1 with tine rest of
the wounded, was sent to the nearest agency,
and lay helpless and suffering untold misery
for weeks, and when | recovered I concluded
that had seen enough of Indian fighting
and asked for my discharge. The nature Of
my wound were such that | received my dis

broke the ice: "Shudge, l vas a scqare man,

"Well, Moses" replied the judge, II know

The judge reflected a moment, and then
without further parley, drew 4 check for the
amount and handed it over to the Jew. Nc
sooner had he done SO than a new idea
flashed upon him, and he said to Moses
"Hold on, Moses; suppose it turns out that my
son didn't take the money! "Vell, shudge,

the check in his pocket, "und l tell you vot
