Frank ketchum Discharged From
Custody.

Last evening a telegram Vas received
from Coroner Chafin, announcing that at
the inquest held at Rawhide, the jury had
returned a verdict of UNSUITABLE homicide.
Immediately upon the arrival of the news
in the city, with the consent of the Pros
e%cuting Attorney, Sheriff Sharpless set
Ketchum at liberty. The young man was
Immediately taken in charge by his
friends and last night slept conten-
teddy at the Inter Ocean hotel.
The action of Justice Hart at Fort
Laramie, in finding a verdict of man
slaughter at the preliminary hearing, pre-
vious to an investigation by the coroner,
was premature and, under the circum-
stances will not hold good. Ketchum
will hold himself at the disposal of the
authorities for a few days until such time
as lie can be regularly discharged. As
far as the aforementioned hand goes there
seems to be no doubt that Ketchum's
claim of self-defense was perfectly war
r1nted by the facts.

a GOOD WORK.


There is a young man in this city, whose
name we are not at liberty to mention,
who, about eighteen months ago, invested
S37. so with another party who put in a
like amount and bought IL lot in the out
skirts of the city. AT this time the young
man had accumulated some money but
was at work at his trade, and has con-
tinued to do so up to the present time.
In a little while after his first purchase he
sold out his half interest and made a little
money ON his investment. He rcinvested
this sum, and from that time until the
present day has kept on, in a quiet IN
observed way and without adding to or
using a single dollar, except hat which he
made in his little speculation, he has re-
allied over 81, 900 on his original invest
ment of $37. so, aud, as before related,
has all the time kept at work at his trade.
This is doing pretty well, and if more of
the young men of the city would follow
his example and invest their money in
something instead of spending it foolishly,
as some do, they would find it to their ad-
vantage

TILDEK's HEALTH.
What Hon. NJ. E. Post Says in
Regard to it.
A General View of the Political
Outlook.
Mr.. Corlett's Chance for the
Wyoming Chief Justiceship.

Hon. NJ. h. Post returned home for a
brief visit yesterday. During the whole
course of the day he was besieged by
friends who were DESTROYS of shaking
him by the hand, A reporter of THE
leader found Mr.. Post long enough ut
leisure to have a little general chat with
him ON political and other matters. When
spoken to in relation to his recent visit to
Creamery Park, in company with the
California Democratic Congressional dele
CATION, he said:
We'll, OF course, it was at first under
stood that what TRANSFERRED there was to be
kept to ourselves, but | have noticed
since that the general result of the con
ference has got out, SO that talk on the
subject probably does not matter much
now.
What is the real condition of Mr.
Tildens health?" was asked Mr.. Post.
y on know he is a man of seventy
years of age, replied Mr. Post, and
that he has suffered from an attack of
paralysis ON one side. Of course under
these circumstances he cannot be expected
to be as vigorous and as lusty as he was
in his early manhood. However.
his physical infinmities have
been greatly exaggerated. He
has no difficulty whatever in moving
about the room and closing and opening
the doors, and bears up remarkably well
under the fatigue of receiving guests.
DO you think he will positively
not be a candidate again for the Presi-
dency?"
Y He says he Will not and when a man
makes a statement of the kind we must
take his word for it.
What is Mr., Tilden's condition
mentally"
Just as bright and vigorous as it ever
was. Whatever he may have lost physi-
cally his mental faculties continue unim-
paired.
w no is most prominently mentioned
in connection with the Democratic non.i

lay the paper away till his sister came to
visit them at the old home, when he
would eagerly go and get it, and, point
ing to the part that had interested him,
would say, "Road-readl' There was
another peculiarity about his reading.
He would begin when it was growing
dark, and continue till hardly anything
was distinguishable to others in the
room. At first thought one would nat
urally suppose that he could not see, Or
really read, but was simply indulgiug in
some kind Of idiotic amusement. One
simple fact seems to negative such con-
clusion. lie kept old papers fled away
in the garnet, hundreds of them in differ

conversation as having been in some
paper six months Or year before, and
the desire expressed to see it again, this
man would 90 to the garnet, and from n

to read, This he did again and again,
yet he could not read single word as

book or paper, with page or column per-

A few years ago, says the New York
Sun, there was set OF fashionable girls
in New York society--some Of whom,
by the way, are now sedate and dignihed
matrons-who went by the soubriquet OF
The Bouncers." A clique seems to be
growing up at the present time who
might appropriately be called "Ihe
Rushers, so swift are their feet in run
ming into mischief, and so rapid and &c.
centric are the orbits in which they re-
volve. Doubtless the time is not fat
distant when, like their predecessors
they will marry and "scttle down." but,
in the meantime, but for the curb-rein al
which paterfamiliaa tugs perseveringly
there is no telling where they wonl(
stop.
