Suspected of Burglary.

Sheriff S~harpless arrested a man and a
woman Yesterday morning as they were
about to depart for Denver. The Sheriff
had received information which warranted
him in suspecting the pair of Identified
ton with the recent burglaries and after
arresting them he caused their baggage TO
be searched. Nothing was found, how
ever, which ~substantiated the suspicious,
and the people were accordingly released.
Later in the day Helen jenkins attached
their baggage for a small bill and the
papers were given to Officer Smalley to
serve. The mans name is Lyons. He
is well known in Colorado and other por-
tons of the West. He claims that the
woman is his wife, but the assertion does
not in any way tend to remove the doubts
Of his honesty. He has sent certain ex-
press packages to Denver. These may be
traced and may result in disclosures, but
1t is feared they have been placed where
they cannot be found.

A LONG JOURNEY.
Two Russians on a Mission to Siberia via
Japan.

Two Russians arrived on the evening
train last night en- route to Japan. They
were clad in queerly cut ~ulsters, gored at
the waist and full at the bottom. They
wore heavy SLOUGH hats. long hair, and
full boards and presented a rather gro
tesque appearance. One. of the men
could talk a little English. and stated to a
reporter that their present destination
was Japan, but their ultimate one is Ger
tain portions Of Siberia. The men paid
for their dinner at the Railroad Hotel
with silver dimes, a denomination Of coins
upon which they seemed to have a corner,
They alleged that they were missionaries,
but questions asked with the purpose Of
a~scertaining if they were Messengers of
the Car or Government officials on State
business, were answered evasively and
indeed, were neatly parted several times.
The railroad men attempted to perpetrate
jokes on the travellers by telling them that
it was an everyday occurrence for Indians
to stop the trains and scalp the passen-
gers, but the Russians were evidently
smarter than they looked and didn't scare
worth a cent. One passenger on the
train stated that he had had some onver-
sation with the foreigners and was salts
fed that they were either State messen-
gers or implicated in some way with
Nihilistic movements, but the latter
theory seems rather absurd.

A LITERARY
He spits-Fire Through the Medium of a
Communication.

The United States mail brought to this
Office last evening a letter which bore the
Cheyenne post mark. 1t is written by a
gentleman who evidently has a grudge
against TIE LEADER and as it is somewhat
of a curiosity in contemporary literature
the liberty is taken Of giving it to the
public. 1t reads as follows:
ITO THE CHEYENNE LEADER Publishing
Comp;
you have advertised in THE CHEY-
ENNE LEADER from the l4th instant
some disrespectiull Words about the
Lady Laura Copeland that she has gained
notoriety and that she is of Mullatto Col
or. l have seen the Lady myself and l
think she is a white lady and looks like it
in my Eyes and l have never heard any
thing bad about her Character. but this
advertizing in THE CHEYENNE LEADER
that is very much contemptious, and
wrong words and l say defamation about
her Character. THE CHEYENNE LEADER
Publishing Compagnie couldt not ruin my
Reputation and Character a u Worth
because l am of good orderly Character
and well disciplined man. but this defa-
nation Of the Ladys Character has in
suited me very much wIch / think only
one u~ndisiplined twistet Character could
to 50. | have not argued THE CHEYENNE
LEADER for publishing such bad Words
and You have no wright to ruin other
Peoples Reputation and Character by ad-
verifying such bad words in THE CHEY-
ENNE LEADER / think that this advertiz-
ing in CHEYENNE LEADER chewing o n
temptious meanings and words to the
Lady and to the Man both wich is against
the laws and witch l may say that it is IN
disciplined Conduct. But still we have
not done anything wrong about marrieng
wich l think is allowed in the U. S. Laws
after man and Woman are of full & 1
have a right to get married to a Lady
witch l think is not doing any wrong or
d~isorderly but | did not want any bad
Publication about thai. THE CHEYENNE
LEADER Publishing Compagnie mind
You own Business and pattle Your own
Genu and none of Your defamation of
Character or twisdet advertising Words.
If you ever trie that again l will sue You
for damages in the City of Cheyenne"
This letter is unsigned, but surface in
dications point to the fact that it was
penned by the husband of Miss Cope
land, SO to speak. Its receipt caused a
thrill of terror to run through the who'll
Office. Every statement in the article re-
ferred to is true and capable of being
proven. Should the well disciplined
veteran feel like proceeding furtherin the
matter he may sail in to his hearts con-
tent.

The Presbyterian congregation held a
meeting Sunday morning. after the close
Of the moraing services. and discussed the
matter Of obtaining a pastor. After the
evening services of song another meeting
was held and upon a unanimous vote it
was decided to call Rev. w. F. Wood, Of
Oil City, Pa. The gentleman is highly
recommended and the church hopes to
secure him. The call will pass through
the regular channels and an answer will
doubtless be received from Mr.. Wood in
a short time. The congregation voted a
salary of 81, 900 per annum, with the use
of the parsonage to Mr. Wood, and strong
efforts will be made to secure him as the
pastor.

Justice Fisher had no criminal cases
brought before him yesterday, but was
engaged in a number of civil ones. During
the day he authorized the killing of q
glandered horse. the property Of Mr.. F.
Shweickert.
Dan Kelley was before Justice Lee.
Dan stood charged with the reckless use
Of Intoxicating beverages and admitted
the soft impeachment. He will dance
double shufles and otherwise employ his
time in keeping warm until released from
the city Jail.
The man who stabbed Harry Blake
Saturday night was not given a prelimi
nary hearing yesterday as an important
witness was absent. The matter will b,
investigated to. day.
