by the Territorial Democrats.
Proceedings of the Convention Held
al Carbon Yesterday.
Possible Republican Nominee and
Other Local Political Matters.

Special Dispatch To THF LEADER.
CARBON, Wyo., October l5.-The adj
vent Of the delegates to the Democratic
Territorial Convention caused quite a rip
pie of excitement in this little city to-day.
The interest manifested was very general
and there was a full attendance. The
meeting was called TO order by Mr.. r. II.
Homer, after which Mr.. j. G. Friend, ed
itor of the Rawlins Journal, read the call.
Mr.. Friend was chosen temporary chair
man and Mr.. Edwood Morris temporary
secretary Messrs Luke Voorhees,. of
Laramie County, NJ II Murphy, ofAlbany
County. VIM McCarty, Of Carbon County,
A l. Challis, of Sweetwater County and
Thos Alsop, of Albany County were
chosen n Committee on Credentials.
A committee on permanent organization
and platform was then selected. consisting
of Hon w H Holiday, j NJ Tompkins.
CE Blydenburg and w A johnson.
After the committee on credentials had
presented Il report showing who were en-
titled to seats as delegates, the committee
on permanent organization reported in
favor of making the temporary %organiza-
ton permanent. The reports were
adopted.
The platform as presented was endorsed
enthusiastically.
The delegates from Laramie county had
left Cheyenne with 4 positive statement
from Hon. NJ. f. Post that he did not
wish a denomination for Delegate to Con
gress; that his private business required
his personal supervision and he could no
longer spend so much of his time away
from home. This statement was made
known TO the other delegates.
Mr.. II. II. Homer was first placed in
nomination for Delegate to Congress. but
he declined the nomination in a very
pretty speech.
Hon. w. IL. Halliday was then nomin-
ated. He also declined, and in doing so
made a ringing speech favoring Hon. NJ.
f. Post, who has already served his con
slituency so faithfully in Washington.
The speech was received with enthusi-
astic applause, and Mr.. Post was nomin-
ated by acclamation.
The convention Immediately afterward
adjourned.

WYOMING'S DIRECTORY.
Something New in the History of
the Territory.
All Towns to be Given Justice and
None to be Sighted.

About January l there will be issued a
Residence and Business Directory of the
Territory of Wyoming for 1885, giving a
complete history and directory of every
town and city organized therein. The
work will be complied by gentlemen who
are well acquainted in every locality in the
Territory. Competent and experienced
canvassers have been employed and a
work is promised that will be ofinvaluahle
assistance as a book of reference to all
residents Of the Territory, besides adver-
Using its advantages abroad, giving in
ducements to immigration. No one sec
ton will be favored above another unless
deserving of special comment, and none
will be sighted.
Besides containing a directory and
history of all the towns within Wyoming,
an early history of the Territory will be
given, copied from the most reliable
sources; climate; a description of the
Worlds Wonderland, the Yellowstone
National Park; will give in detail the

oil regions and soda lakes; game and fish;
timber interests; grazing lands; stock
growing in all its branches; Manufacturing
industries; agriculture, etc.
The services of the ablest and best
known writers in the Territory have been
secured, and the work will doubtless be Of
the character designed-one for the en-
couragement and advancement of every
laudible enterprise within the boundaries
of Wyoming. The canvass was COM
menced in this city yesterday by Messrs.
VIM. 5. MESSENGER and A.. r. johnson
who met with encouragement which far
exceeded the expectations Of the Directory
company. The canvass of the Territory
will be under the supervision ofthese gen
tlemen, who will o leave for the north

County, after which they will proceed by
counties westward, until every section of

A SUIT FOR LIBEL.
Mrs. Crouch Wants Damages For
Defamation of Character.
She Believes the Sun Owes Her
Five Thousand Dollars
Because of Shocking Statements
Published About Her.

yesterday Messrs. }. }. Rowen and
Thos- NJ. Fisher, attorneys for Mrs.
Annie NJ. Crouch, filed a petition with
the Clerk of the District Court. which
begins nj action against i. A. Slack,
editor of the SIM, for 5000 damages
and the costs of the suit.
The action is the outgrowth of an
article which recently appeared in the
SIN and in which Mrs. Crouch was
accused of being a party to certain crimes
committed by her husband.
The petition filed by the attorneys of
Mrs Crouch fully explains the case and
is as follows:
Annie NJ. Crouch, plaintiff, complains
Of +. A. Slack, defendant, for that the
said plaintiff has always sustained a good
character and been reputed and accepted
in the community to be a person of good
name, fame and credit. Yet the said de-
PENDANT, m%aliciously intending to injure
the said plaintiff and to bring her into
public scandal and disgrace, did, on the
4th day of October, A. D. 1884, in the
Cheyenne Daily SIM, a daily newspaper
published by the said defendant in the
City of Cheyenne, in Wyoming Territory,
falsely, wickedly and maliciously publish
and u to be published of and concern
ing plaintiff and one Charles f. Crouch,
the husband of plaintiff, Il certain false,
%scandalous and malicious libel containing
the false. malicious, ~defamatory and
libelous matter following, that is to say
Here follows a copy OF the article in the
Stni in which the plaintiff is accused of
being a party to the vile crimes perpetra-
ted by her husband and of which her own
daughter was an alleged victim besides re.
citing, in all their disgusting details, other
alleged matters unfit for publication in a
respectable newspaper,
Continuing the petition says by
means whereof the said plaintiff hath
been greatly damaged and injured in her
good name and reputation, to the damage
of the said plaintiff 5000. Wherefore,
plaintiff prays judgment against the said
defendant for the said sum of s., 900, her
damages so, as aforesaid, sustained and
costs of this suit
The document is signed by Annie NJ.
Crouch and her attorneys j.. j. Rowen
and Thos. NJ. Fisher.
As the petition but begins the suit it is
uncertain what response will be made by
the defendant. The plaintiff lays particu-
lar stress upon that portion of the sun
attack which SAYS
Constable Smalley was called upon to
look into the case and did so. He went
to the neighborhood and investigated.
y When the officers requested
some of the ladies who talked with him to
appear in court and testify, however, they
unanimously uttered little shrieks and de-
clared that they would never do such a
thing. Then they made haste to, as far
as possible, retract their stories of actual
observation, and state that they had been
told of these things. Hence the officers
are unable to substantiate by testimony
those things which they are told"

Deputy Sheriff Hosford served the pre-
liminary papers upon Mr.. Slack.

Yesterday His Excellency Governor
William Hale appointed Professor Samuel
Aughey to be Territorial Geologist in place
of Professor G. Il. Bailey, whose resigna-
ton was recently accepted.
Professor Aughey is a man of more
than local notoriety. He is known across
the continent as a scientist of the the first
water and is well known in Europe as the
author of more than one book of great
scientific interest. 1t is through his
knowledge aud skill that the iron, soda,
coal and c%oal-oil deposits of Wyoming are
being developed.
His appointment will do much to bring
capital to the Territory to aid in opening
the immense mineral wealth, and when it
is considered that he is a man of great
industry and intense application, all will
own that the Governor is to be congratul-
ated on so happy a choice.

Nelh'AAtth AtIIiAuTlll AOnA tlllOlls
To-day the Republicans will hold their
Territorial convention, which meets in
this city, when they viii select their can
didate for Delegate to Congress.
There is hardly any doubt that the ac-
ton of the convention will be based upon.
or guided by that of the Democratic CON
vention Mt Carbon yesterday-in other
words a candidate will be chosen with the
special purpose and hope that he will
gain maiorities in Western counties which
may counterbalance Mr.. Posts assured
and large majority in Laramie county.
Mr.. Post will land all candid men must
admit the fact obtain a Vote in this
county which the Republican nominee, be
he any of those probable candidates before
the convention, cannot hope to equal.
The only hope of the Republican party.
therefore, is to obtain majorities in Al
bany, Carbon, Sweetwater and Uinta
counties. The election of 1882 demon
strated that this cannot be done against
Mr. Post.
1t is understood that the friends of
james France, of Rawlms, are urging his
nomination with yigor and persistence.
As the importance of recognizing the
claims of Western candidates adds to the
embarrassment of the convention at the
present time and as no Cheyenne man will
care 10 accept a nomination, which in the
present instance will be a synonym for
defeat, it is quite possible that Mr.. France
will C the nomination, if it be given
him only to silence the clamors of the
Western Republicans.
1t has been understood, in a sub rosa
way. that Colonel A. T. Babbitt was
not strenuously avoiding a nomination,
while some extremists have even ventured
to hint, in ~undisguised English, that a resi-
dence at Washington would be contem-
plated by him with lively satisfaction.
His name would probably have gone be-
fore the convention had not Mr.. Post
been nominated, but now the degree
Of his prominence cannot be determined.
Upon the basis of the Legislative vote
of 1852 Mr.. Babbitt has been considered
a stronger candidate in this county than
+. Il. Warren, who has also been promi-
nently mentioned as a nominee. Those
in a situation to speak advisedly affirm
that Mr.. Warren will not be a candidate
against Mr.. Post and it docs not seem
probable that he will permit his name to
go before the convention.
There has existed in this city a wide
spread impression that Hon. J. NJ. Carey
would be the strongest candidate before
the convention. Many good reasons were
given therefor, but the same ~unwillingness
10 enter the list against Mr.. Post will be
very liable to cause his withdrawal even at
this late hour.
Mr.. Thos. Sturgis has also been men
toned. but it is believed that he will not
hermit his name to go before the conven-
ton at this time.
NJ. c. Brown. Ex-Governor Hoyt and
various Dark Horses are mentioned
and, at the present writing, it seems ap-

TIE NEWS.
A Brutal Crime.

At an early hour the other morning
the particulars of the brutal murder OF
little girl were brought to Hillsdale
and created intense excitement. The
victim was Lulu Dyke, six years of
age and rather slight and fragile. She
was last seen before the event on the
way from her grandmother to the
home of her parents, about D p. m {,
the places being near together, about
a mile east OF town. AS she did not
return home when expected, her pa
rents became alarmed, and on finding
that she had left her grandmother S
some time before, The neighbors were
aroused and the night occupied in a dill
gent but futile search of the surrounding
country. Just as the dawn was break
ing, however, her father discovered her
dead body lying in field about 60 rods
back from their home on the main road.
Her head was found to have been pound
ed and crushed by large stones which
were living near, with bloody evidence
Of their brutal use staining their sur
face. The position of the girl and the
condition of her clothing creates sus-
picion that she was outraged by her
murderer. AS soon as possible the cor
oner summoned a jury, examined the
surroundings and heard testimony to
the above effect. Certain facts led to
the suspecting of David Stone, an un
Gle of the girl, who is partially dement,
ed. He has been arrested and is
now in jail, but he is held only on sus-
picion, and has made no admissions,

The Theory Of Dreams.
New York World.

New York World,
The New York Anthropologieal So
cieiy met Tuesday night and listened to
an address by the Rev. Dr. j. M. Buck
lev, entitled "A Tentative Theory of
Dreams"
In opening his lecture DIR. Buckley
said that whatever is found in the Bible
is excluded from scientific or philoso-
phical consideration, as 1t deals with
the supernatural and can not be rea-
soned upon in the line or realm of cause
and effect. The Bible AYERS that God
spoke TO men in dreams, taught them
by dreams. etc. II He did, it can not
be proved as scientific propositions are
proved. Science and the Bible run in
parallel lines, but never tonch the came
methods of thought. The primary
cause Of dreams Is the use of certain
drugs-opium, alcohol, nitrous oxide
gas and the ike. Hasheesh is a most
extraordinary drug for its effects in this
way. The speaker quoted the expe.
rience of an eminent French medical
writer on the subject of hasheesh ms
productive of the most fantastic and
dreadful dreams. As an example of its
extraordinary excitant qualities he
stated that the Saracens employed it to
