TIE article in the Sun yesterday,
which was inspired by Mr.. Stark, who
for thirteen years has been Principal of
the High School, endeavors to place THE
LEADER in the position of debating to the
Boad of Education what they should do.
The intention of the inuendo is apparent
on its face. In making the publication
which we did, THE LEADER was merely
rejecting the sentiment of a vast majority
of the voters of this city. Some of the
leading men of Cheyenne are opposed to
Mr.. Stark and we have acquainted the
public with fact Only this and nothing

ropes. Fully equipped, he proceed

the ioness with her cub beneath a
projecting rock.

his son, who followed at his heels,
to stop, aud, instructing him to
make his appearance at a signal from
him, he left the path to mount the
rocks that sheltered the beast Reach
ing the summit, he uncoiled the rope
from his arm and prepared to make
the battle. The signal was given to
the brave Young fellow a short dis
lance from the lair. The beast was
about to leap forward, but the father
sent the loop over her head There
was brief Struggle in which the
moose was slipped, but in second
more it was secure upon the hind
legs. The end of the rope had be
previously thrown over limb of a

mer succeeded in suspending his
prize in tbs air, and fastening the
rope securely, be sprang from the
rocks, and procee1e to tie the re-
mainder of the limbs. Accomplish
ing this he thought it about time to
bag the cub, and reached down to
grasp it; but the little fellow turned
