Mr.. L. V. Marye was before
the Police Jury one day this week,
endeavoring by strong argument
and otherwise, to have them APP
point a committee to take some ac-
ton as regard the proposed railroad
from this place to Marienna, Ark,
via Bastrop and Monroe. Wheth-
er the above body took action in re-
gard to the gentleman's suggestion
or not we are unable to say. We
do think, however, that our people,
as whole, should move in this
matter, and that too at once, before
it is too late. This road is of more
Importance to our Town and it's
people than any that could tap it,
ana Tor more reasons tDan one. IL
places us on an airline with St.
Louis and the great West, and in
sures to us the many advantages
that we have long waited to possess.
The above road also insures us an
all rail route to Kansas City, Mo-,
and Colorado, Let our people
calmly think this project over, and
come to the conclusion to take ac-
ton. By long odds is this the
railroad Of railroads for our Town.

-FRoM what we can learn con
corning the crops throughout the
Parish, we are led to believe that
they are in an advanced condition.
Some Of our planters expect to make
almost twice as much cotton as they
did last year, but will fall some
what short on corn. Cane is well
advanced, but needs rain badly,
as does also the cotton. To put it
milder, this years crop is a great
improvement on that of 1883.
From the Colfax People Of the

The next City Council, the
one to be elected in 1885 we mean.
will work wonders, no doubt. Each
and every member thereof is to be
a genuine reformer, who is to look
only to the interests of his constit
uents, and not to measures that per-
sonally benefit themselves. Re-
trenchment is to be their guiding
star, and reform their sole aud only
creed. The Mayor will be power
less to act, provided he goes against
their wishes. No crooked business
of any sort is to be countenanced
or upheld. With such body of men
our Town would soon become, fins l.
cially, the Alexandria of old. lie
us look forward to this important
day, for surely will it be a memo
rable one in the Towns history.

expects the City Council to offer

assistance to this important enter
prise. A Railroad Mass Meeting
is to be held at Monroe on the 10th
of September to take similar
steps in regard to the matter, and
we think the authorities of Alexan-

Yesterday while a well known disciple
of Blackstone and a LEADER represent
alive were standing on the platform in
front OF the Railroad House watching the
travelstained passengers alight, a
youth came out ofthe emigrant car and
looked hesitatingly around. He was n
mild eyed, iaxen headed youngster who
had not been out of sight of the smoke Of
his home chimney before. After looking
about a few minutes he timidly asked:
"What town is this?"
Cheyenne, answered the legal prac-
toner.
"Cheyenne!' he repeated doubtfully.
Yes. was the response. this is the
Magic City"
The youth glanced suspieiously at his
informant and then a wise expression
settled over his %countenance. He made
for the car door with a three-bound sort
of gait. just as he got to the door he
said:
YES | know, but | shant stop off, be-
sides, 1 don t gamble
II have been taken for almost every
thing and everybody, remarked the
lawyer, but | was never taken for a
bunko steerer before. ."

From the Rawlins journal.
A report is in circulation that the Union
Pacific will soon put on another passenger
train west of Cheyenne. The new train
is to run over the Oregon Shot Line, viz
tually making Cheyenne the eastern ter
minus of the great Northwest route.
a petition is being numerously signed
by the old soldier residents Of this city
which will in a few DAYS be forwarded to
Mastering Officer Jeffrey, asking that a
Post of the Grand Army of the Republic
be mustered in here, Rawlins being about
the only town of importance that has no
organization Of that kind.
Mr.. George Birmingham and J Ross,
Ferris, will soon ship three car loads of
ore from that camp to Denver for reduc-
ton. A little over $4,000 pounds of ore
has already been delivered at the depot.

A couple of gamblers who have been
running a monte game concluded to dis
solve partnership. The spoils were d.
vided and one of them took $500 as his
share of the plumber and gave up all title
and good will in the game to his partner,
who was to go it alone. He did not deed
away his interest, as the sequel will show.
Yesterday he concluded hat he would
beat the game and began to try his luck.
The trial was in poor taste, for when the
conclusion of the last act was reached the
bank had the money.
This is the correct way to do business.
1t does away with yexatious litigation,
receivers, Sheriffs, attachments and the
like. If business men would only settle
their scores in this manner much suffering
would be removed. 1t is easy, expeditions
and certain to ruin one or the other,
which is more than can be said of law
suit, excepting the last statement, which
applies admirably. Besides there is none
of the publicity and scandal which usually
attend the divorce suit in high life. The
course is emineutly proper and ought to
be initiated.

THE RING.
Colonel Anderson Finds His Property
Suspicious Circumstances.

When Colonel Thomas NJ. Anderson
arrived at Fort Russell, on the first Of
this month, three soldiers were assigned
to arrange quarters for his family. Among
other duties which they performed was
unpacking and putting in place the bag
gage Of the family, which had been
shipped to the Fort. They were allowed
to work about as they pleased and no par
ticular watch was kept on their actions.
Shortly after the work had been done and
the Colonel and family had moved into
their quarters, several articles we're miss
ing, and among others a valuable diamond
ring belonging to Mrs. Anderson. The
matter was kept quiet and the police in
formed Of the loss. They Immediately
set to work to find the thief, but their eff
forts were without success.
One Of the soldiers who had been de-
tailed to arrange the quarters was Harry
Marks. Marks is quite well known in
this city for various reasons. Some time
ago, when the triple wedding took place
ct Mrs. H~arvicker's quiet resort at Sloan's
lake, Marks married a Mrs. Mills, who at
that time was residing with the Haryicker
family. Shortly afterwards there was a
general breaking up at the resort and the
parties have made a very unfavorable i'm
preston with the public by their subse-
quent actions.
For a time Marks retired from occupy
ing a prominent position in the public es-
timation, but again comes into notoriety
at the time of the Spitznagel suicide, he
being the party who found the body and
notified the Coroner. Since then heihas
not figured in any of the prominent
events which have occurred in the city
until the ring above referred to was
missed.
During the time the trio were working
around Colonel Anderson's quarters,
Marks was observed to appropriate sew
eral small articles to which he had no
claim and was admonished by one of his
companions that it was not exactly the
correct thing to do, and it would be better
to leave them alone. When it was known
that the property was missing, some little
interest was manifested by the losers in
Mr.. Marks movements On the night
following the loss, Marks left the Fort
and did not return until 4 o'clock the
next morning. Suspec.ing that he had
taken the ring away with him and left it
in the keeping of some confederate, he
was arrested on the charge of leaving the
Post without leave, and placed in the
guard house.
While in confinement Marks sent for Il
fellow soldier and had quite an interview
with him. The soldier left him, and on
Friday returned the ring to Colonel
Anderson, claiming he found it near the
house.
The officer who had charge of the case
states, on the day on which the ring was
delivered he saw the parties, whom he
suspected to have the property in their
possession. leave ther domicile and drive
in the direction of the fo1. Having no
horse he could not keep up with them.
When he arrived the ring had been
returned.
The matter will be fully investigated
and an attempt made to punish the guilty
parties.

A V FREAK.
Caught en- Route from Wyoming and
Carried Into Iowa.


From the Omaha Herald.
Mr.. H. Phillips, of this city, reports an
outbreak ofTexas fever among Il lot of
grade cattle on his feeding farm in Iowa.
Up to last night he had lost six head and
sixteen Others were on the sick list. The
cattle are from a bunch of three hundred
shipped from Rawlins, Wyo., by Judge
Larabee, about two weeks ago. They
were unloaded and fed at the North Platte
yards, and shipped direct from there to
Council Bluffs, where they were sold to
feeders in various parts of Western Iowa.
Mr.. Phillips is of the opinion that they
caught the disease at North Platte, but
the Union Pacific people affirm that it is
impossible for any germs Of the contagion
to have survived the thorough fumigation
and cleansing done there after the scare
some weeks ago 1t is much more prob
able that the animals were infected in the
Council Bluffs yards, and this belief OBJ
tsius generally.

whom there has been much mystery.
Lander and Galbraith's party came up
with him on Crooked creek. He had a
fine ranch near there, and no one in the
party suspected who he was until after
he had been left behind on the trail and
some stolen cattle were found in his corral.
While the boys were investigating his
ranch he rode up, and they questioned
him. He made explanations of the pres
ence of the cattle which might have
proved satisfactory if one Of the boys had
not said:
Il believe this is Dutch Louis"
The old fellow few into a passion ofde-
nunciation and denial, and in his rage fell
into broken English, which confirmed the
suspicion. The more he protested the
more determined the boys became, and at
last, when he began to fear that nothing
could save him, he confessed his identity
and begged for mercy.
up with him r. yelled two or three of
the boys, one of them exposing a rope.
IN give you a tousand dollar" he
screamed, ''if you let me go, and I'll
leave the country and never come back"
you'll leave the country anyway"
observed the brawny c~ow-puncher who
held him by the neck, ''and if you ever
come back wen do you up again"
In spite of his protestations the rope
was adjusted, and, hardly moving him
from where he stood. they passed the
other end of the cord over a limb, and the
portly form of the old thief was swung
high in the air.
As they moved on some of the old
mans cattle passed near his suspended
body. and, believing their establishment
at the unwonted scene, cantered away
to join the herd.
