ago to-day. The mercury then regis
tered 100 below, and we had three
times as much snow as we have ex-
perienced yet this winter, and every

condition to weather it. No losses, or
at least very slight ones, have been re.
ported thus far, and it is the. opinion of
all stockmen that there is no cause for

An excellent large map has lust been
completed for the county clerks office.
1t is in two sections, the first being
Laramie county as 1t will be after
Crook county is finally severed from
Laramie; and the second section rep
resents all that portion of the county
included within the boundaries of
Crook as heretofore set apart. The
map is finely executed, and was drawn
by A ntzelman, under the supervision
Of Surveyor Brown. The only fault
that can be found with the map is that
some Of the ranches that changed hands
years ago are still designated by their
old names.

CHEYENNE LEADER has been pur-
chased by a stock company of citizens,
and is now published under the title OF
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER. Though
THE LEADER has always been a good

Our FIremen Want Exemption From
Poll Tax and Jury service.

ouE III rAAtuipttOn rEuht
Poll Tax and Jury Service
The Pioneer Hooks and also the
Durants, of the Cheyenne FIRE depart
ment, held a meeting last evening, the
former at the Hook house and the lat
ter at the City hall and transacted
some routine business, after which a
very important matter was considered
and acted upon. The matter We refer
to was FIRST preached at the meeting Of
the Pioneer hooks and it was the idea
that some steps ought to be taken to
call the attention of the legislature to
the fact that a law ought to be enacted
by which the volunteer fireman of the
territory ought to be exempted from
serving on juries and from paying a
poll tax after having been regular MEM
bers of some fire company for the per
iod of FIVE years.
The sense of the meeting was a unit
in favor of this. and on motion a COM
mittee of two was appointed to wait on
the Durants and breach the subject to
them. This committee performed its
mission and that company readily
conceded with the plan. The outcome
of the matter was that a committee of
one was appointed by each company to
meet and confer with a like committee
from the other companies, which will
be appointed tonight, to present a bill
to the legislature for this purpose, after
the same has been endorsed and rati-
fed by the department in general con-
yention.

ever being thus iairly dealt with, can put
his own estimate on the value OF the
figures, }5,.3 4
IN this polling Mr.. Blaine has more than
lxlcess many votes as Logan, the next
highest candidate, whose strength is mainly
IN his own State. Blaine is nearly five
times RS strong as General Sherman, whoee
boom is iFesh and vigorous. Edmunds,
in whom the party has great confidence,
whose administration OF the Presidential
olilce would be able and above all things
sale, but Of whom 1t is said that he would
create no enthusiasm, stands third on the
list, ahead Of the great soldier who has Just
retired from the head Of the army, and just
Alter another soldier who has also claims TO

Blaine leads in each Of the five States
except Illinois, where he is a good second

some strength in each Of the liyo States,
