The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1884-01-10

The Times will enter upon the new
year stronger and more prosperous than
ever before in its history-more widely
read and quoted, more heartily com
mended, and more iiercely criticized,
with n more complete organization, and
an ADLER staff of contributers-and with
the same independence and fearIessness
hat has made it successful and power
full in the past.
The Times has no party to follow, no
candidates to advance, but will meet
every issue, as it has ever done, with
consistent devotion to the right, to
honest government and the public well
fare.
The value Of a newspaper is not in
its size or display, but in the intelli-
gence and care, the conciseness and
freshness with which it is edited. The
Times spends layishly for news from all
parts of the world. The best writer's
at home and abroad are employed to
enrich its columns, and to make it Il
journal adapted both to the busy man
and to the leisure of the home circle, a
welcome visitor to intelligent and hon
est citizens of every political, religious
and social taste.
The Weekly Times gathers off the
types OF every passing week whatever
has lasting interest to people at large,
and sets it before them in such gener-
osity of paper and print as would have
%astonished us all twenty years ago.
Daily-Twelve cents a week, City
cents a month, six dollars a year, two
cents a copy.
Sunday-Four cents a copy, 80 year.
Weekly-One copy, 80 a year; five
copies, IS a year; ten copies, $15 a
year; twenty copies, S25 a year, with
one copy free to the getter up of every
club. The TIMES,

A Vicious Coon.

Washington, January "a depraved
and vicious looking colored boy. named
Elphonse Kell, 10 years of age, was in
dock at Judge SHELLS court this morn
ing for committing a series of atrocious
deeds. He lives with his uncle, a res
pectable colored man, who testified
that about the Goth of last month, the
boy bought a box of Trough on Rats"
and a quantity of arsenic. When he
went home he put the contents in three
quarts of milk, with the intention of
poisoning the family. but failed in the
attempt. The next day he renewed the
attempt by putting poison in a bucket
of water, and Benjamin's eight chill
dren drank from the bucket and were
taken with violent pains the stomach,
but all recovered. He also gave arse
mic to the cattle. He sprinkled arse
mic on Mrs. B~enjamin's bread. She,
however, discovered it and threw the
bread away. He also attempted to set
fire to the barn, but the corn shucks
ouihcu SO oion ohoV o enouBhb uo
would be detected and put out the fire.
Just before Christmas he attempted to
cut one of the childreD's throat while
she was asleep, but she woke up just as
he had his hand raised to cut her. He
built a fire, called his aunt out to see
it, then threw a handful of cartridges
into the fire and ran away, hoping she
would be killed by the explosion. The
boy stated that while Lying in Balti-
more, he poisoned his mother and aunt,
who died from the effects of it, and one
time attempted to set his mothers
house on fire. He also said that while
in Baltimore he used to poison people
and cattle for spite.

Colorado Cattle.

Of b stock range in that section the
Grand Junction News says: AT pres
emit, and the immediate future is not
likely to see their relative positions
changed, the breeding of cattle is q
business of greater extent and repre-
sents more capital than any other in
dustry in Mesa county-save farming.
The ranges are vast and rich in nutri-
tious grasses. The face of the country
is broke and ample shelter is provided
during inclement weather, which never
comes a v in the more elevated re-
gions. AS intimated elsewhere, the
future needs Of the business may see a
radical change in the policy of the
cattle breeders and amongst the rich
meadow lands OF the Grand Mesa thou
sands of cattle will wax fat and their
owners grow rich.
1.-The point aimed at in this article
is not so much to speak of the extent
of the ranges in Mesa county, as to call
attention to the quality and the condi-
lions that surrounds them. 1t should
be remembered, first, that these ranges
lie on the Pacific slope. The terrific
storms and winters of Wyoming, with
her millions OF cattle, never visit these
hillsides. The cattle are not growing
thin for four months and then fatten
ing for eight, Cattle grow fat from
fh.a HaN than cot foot on than hill o,ra-
though it be in midwinter. A hill coun-
try produces the richest grasses the
world over. Next it should be noticed
that grass on this slope produces a liner
quality of beef than that east of the
range. This is not theory but a con-
clusion arrived at by raisers and buy
ers after 4 thorough test of the matter.
A bunch of 300 head was recently ship
ped to Leadville and the buyers there
declared that the beef was the finest
ever brought to that city, and declared
that they could afford to pay from
three quarters to one cent more per
pound for that meat than for any other
brought to the Leadyille market. The
opinions of our local buyers substan-
tiate this. Messrs. Payne Il Shackle-
ton, the heaviest buyers and butchers
here, declare that beef fattened on
these ranges is sweeter and better the
year around than any beef they ever
handled. The advantages then of cat
tie raising here are obvious. First,
the percentage of losses during the
winter season are reduced the mini
mum; a fact that cattle men know how
to appreciate. Second, beeves fatten-
ed on these ranges will sell readily and
at a better figure than at the market
price. The capacities of the anges
have not yet been touched. Cattle
breeding, like everything else, will
change to meet the demands OF the
hour. The capacities of this valley for
raising grass, the miles of meadow
lands on the Grand Mesa, all will
gradually come under subsection and
contribute to Increase the annual
drive. The year past has seen the
business spring from insignificance to
Importance, from a few thousands to
hundreds OF thousand"

A Naval omcer's Sad Fate.

New York, January 9.-Lieutenant
John j. Aug1r, of the United States
navy, escaped from the Bloomingdale
lunatic asylum last night during a ter
rible storm. This morning his body
was found in the roadway, having died

the dead lieutenant is General Augur,
in charge Of the military post at Fort
I.eavenworth, Kansas. Lieutenant
Augur has been in the navy since 1870,
and was one of the officers sent out in
the exposition in search of the Arctic
exploring steamer Jeanette. The
h~ardships affected his mind, and he has
been off of duty ever since last sum
