A FALSE CHARGE.
Two Men WrongfIIIy Arrested OH the
Charge of Larceny.

On Tuesday evening a warrant was
issued by Judge Fisher for James Har-
mon and Peter Murray on the complaint
of John Lyttle, who swore that they had
committed the crime of larceny in having
stolen a quantity of clothing and blankets
from him. A search warrant was also
issued in order that the lost property
might be searched for and found. Con-
stable Smalley, to whom the warrant was
delivered, arrested the two men at Sch
wartze's rarch, on Pole creek, and also
found the property, which he brought,
with the defendants, back to the city.
The parties were arraigned before Judge
Fisher yesterday, but John Lyttle was a
little behind time. In fact, he was a good
deal behind time, and did not put in an
appearance at all. To make a long story
short, he himself had skipped out, and it
appeared, OF investigation, that there was
nothing whatever in the charge made
against the two men. The complaint was
dismissed and the defendants discharged.

Last evening there were five passenger
cars in the train that came up from Den
yer over the Denver Pacific, and among
the passengers were 90 that were bound
West. The travel on this branch of the
Union Pacific, as it now of course really is,
have Of late been increasing very rapidly,
and the reason for this will be found in
the fact that the Denver K Rio Grande
railway has suspended its trains, so that
the travel which formerly found its way
over this now dcfunct line of road has now
to seek some other outlet, which accounts
in part at least for the large increase of
travel over the line from Denver to
CHEYENNE.

WANTED TO CELEBRATE.
A Revolver Stolen and Pawned to Raise
Money For the Fourth.

On the Sd of July a revolver was stolen
from the establishment of the Idleman
Bros, or Seventeenth street, and no one
at the cine had the slightest idea who
had taken it or where it could have disap-
peAred to. The firm have kept a sharp
lookout, however. Night before last the
ldleman Bros, mentioned their loss to
JEFF Carr who undertook the task o fhunt-
ing up the thief and the revolver. After
looking around the pawn shops and other
places, Carr discovered it in a saloon in
the city and at once demanded how the
parties in charge came to have possession
Of it. He was informed that a party
named Pat Mutually (not the old time Pat
Mullally) had brought it 10 them on the
morning of the Fourth of July, and had
got 81 of them on the revolver, saying
that he wanted the money to celebrate
with and that he would redeem the revolt
yer pretty soon after the Fourth. He
did not do so, however, and they were be-
ginning to think that they were ahead a
revolver when Carr came for it. In the
meantime Mutually got wind in some way
that Carr was on his trail and skipped out
and has lot been seen in the city since

The Property of the ''Adams Copper
King Company" Attached.

For a considerable time complaints have
been made. SO it is said, by the workmen
engaged on the Copper King lode, in the
Silver Crown mining district, that they
could not get their pay. What reason
was assigned for this condition of affairs
or why it has been that the Adams COM
pany have not paid their men has not
been given out. The fact is, however,
that such has been the case. The COM
plants which have been so long made
yesterday took form in the way ofinstitut.
ing suits against the company by the en-
ployes, who it seems have banded them
selves together for the purpose of asserting
their rights. The aggrieved parties re-
tanned Messrs. Fisher and Rowen, and
yesterday not only commenced a suit for
the recovery of the sum due them, but
also took out a writ of attachment against
the property of the company. The amount
which they claim is due them, and for
which suit is brought, is $1,000. Const-
able Smalley was deputized, and yesterday
proceeded to the foothills and, it is sup
posed, took the property of the company
into his custody.

Mrs. R. n. Heath, who teaches a class

little folks to Camp Carlin, in order that
they might have ample room and oppor-
tunity to enjoy themselves without inter
fering with anybody else. Refreshments,
singing, ETC., were the main features of
the affair, and in the evening the party
returned to the city, having enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent.

A Long Free Ride.

Two tramps were found in a box car at
the depot yesterday by Officer Thomson
and taken before Judge Lee, but as it
transpired that they had not stolen or dis
turbed anything they were discharged.
They had ridden all the way from the
western terminus of the Oregon Short
line, and had been locked up in the car on
its passage to CHEYENNE, a distance of pro-
badly 400 miles. They were pretty re-
spectacle looking fellows, and were not
what ought to be termed professional
tramns.

the mail, and are a part of the mail mat
ter, may not be appropriated before it

i Woman Residing Near Fort Laramie
Found swinging From n Moose.

Last evening at about : o'clock Coroner
Chafin received the following telegram
from b. a. Hart, Justice of the Peace at
Fort Laramie, which in part explains
itself.
"FoRT LARAMIE, July Q, 1884.
TO Coroner Ch!6hr:
Mrs. Rittcstings found hanging by the
neck dead. Shall | hold inquest or will
you come. Answer at once?
"B. \. HART"
No further Intelligence except that
which is contained in the foregoing dis
patch was received, and had not been up
to the time Of going to press this morn
ing. Coroner Chafin at once telcgraphed
back to Hart to proceed at once and hold
an inquest, but to be sure and have the
matter just as thoroughly investigated as
it is possible to do in order that all the
facts may be elected. 1t was assumed by
the coroner that the body could net
very well be kept this hot weather
until he would have time to
arrive there, and then again it will cost
the county less 20 have the inquest held
by Justice Hart who is on the ground,
than it would for Coroner Chafin to pro-
coed there personally. Mrs. Henry Rit-
tenhurg lived with her husband at what
is called the Three Mile Ranch, which
Is, as its name would imply, three miles
from Fort Laramie, and it is at this ranch
where the suicide took place. This place
is also sometimes called the Hog
Ranch" and by many it is known by
that name and none other. A reporter
on last evening, after the news was re-
ceived here, made extensive inquiries
among those who would be likely
to know something about the ranch,
and the people living at the place where
the suicide was committed, but could learn
nothing beyond the fact that the woman,
who is now no more, was somewhat ad-
dicted to drinking, or had been, and that
she was not, so far as could be learned, in
her right mind. Without being able to
ascertain for a certainty in regard to the
matter we have little doubt but that he
woman, who is now no more, was none
other than oft heard of Crazy Jane"
