Bert Ellis, who was arrested in this
city last week by Deputy Sheriff Hosford.
and William Wright, his partner, who
was subsequently captured, have been
tried at Laramie City for playing a conf
dence game on Fred Prahl, of that place.
The Boomerang says the evidence showed
that they had also played the same
scheme successfully on f. s. Boyd, at
whose store goods to the amount Of $4.25
were obtained, and where Wright gave
the name of Stanton, and hat they tried
to vietimize Hellman, the clothier, but
were disappointed, as he was too sharp
for them. The fact was also developed
that after obtaining the underwear at
Prahl's they did not keep it for their own
use, but gave it away to friends. Ellis
was sentenced to thirty days in the bas-
tile. Wright will also be sentenced.

From the Chicago Times. ..I4
Women as jurors have not met With
much favor in Wyoming Territory. In a
recent case two female Jurors stood out
three days against the verdict agreed upon
by ten men, and no argument or persua-
sion could induce them to yield. 1t is
SAID they took sides against the men out
of sheer female contrariness, and there is
now a demand in the county where this
occurred for juries composed of the sterner
sex, in order to avoid jury disagreements
and the consequent expense of new trials.
Until the Wyoming gentlemen become
polite enough to always agree with the
ladies, juries made up Of both sexes will
evidently not be a success out there.

A Raid ON the Gang.

Last evening Officer Nolan made a
general tour of the night resorts and held
short but decisive conversations with sew
erai gangs of actual criminals, or members
of the semi-criminal classes. His first
move was to arrest three well-dressed
loafers who have no visible means of sup
port. He took the trio to the City Jail,
but finally released them upon their
promise to leave the city to-day. Subse-
quently he found a coterie of four sure
thing gamblers and professional bet nip
pers. He told them that if he found
them in the city after to-day he should
arrest them for ~vagrancy. Taking the
world easy and with their feet cooked up

sred three gentlemen of the class who
toll not neither do they spin. These he
gave a similar order to quit the city. The
last place visited contained a pair of sus-
picious fellows who, were peremtorily
ordered to quit the city and to stand not
upon the order Of their going. In addi-
ton to those interviewed by Mr.. Nolan

more that deserve a like notification, If

Post of the Grand Army desired to obtain
a life-size painting of General Reynolds,
Mr.. L. Asch has applied to General j.
W. Fisher andobtained a good engraving
of General Reynolds. The painting, in
oil, will be copied from the engraving and
will then be submitted to the Post. In
case the Post is not satisfied with the
likeness some Eastern artist will probably
be secured to paint the picture. The Post
has decided to have a life-size portrait of

.aa ALTA NORMAN.
A New American soprano, who Never
Went Abroad to Study.

Miss Alta Norman, who sang the
charming part of "zerlna " in Fla Diu-
uolo, Mr.. Carleton assuming the title,
upon the appearance of the Carleton
Opera Company in this city, was praised
very highly for her voice and methods by
the San Francisco critics. The sympathy,
purity and fexibity of a rarely cultured
organ have caused an enthusiastic recep-
ton to be given her in a city known for
its critical taste, and the point is well
made that all this has been obtained with
out going to Italy or France for tuition.
Blakely Hall, writing in the San Fran
cisco Argonant, says: Miss Alta Nor
mans voice is that Of an absolute soprano
"A rare register, by the way, as the ma
jority Of singers are mezzos, who cannot
sing above A. Miss Norman sings to +.
sharp, and her voice is as clear as a bell
and Thoroughly sympathetic. She is very
well known among musicians, as she has
studied for a long while with Signor de
Rialp, and later with Mr.. j. Ernest PERI
ing. The absurdity of going to Italy to
study music is pretty well proven by this
time. The masters of singing in New
York are now men Of cosmopolitan repu-
tations. Miss Norman is looked upon
here as an example of what can be done
in the way of vocal culture by New York
instruction. To her other gifts Miss Nor
man unites that of being a beautiful wo-
man."

TRAGEDY.
No New Developments and the Funeral
to be Held To-day.

The Coroner jury, which was sum-
moned Tuesday morning to investigate
the Duran-Sanchez tragedy and which ad-
journed until yesterday, met again yester-
day morning. A short session was held
and a verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts as related by THE LEADER
yesterday-that Mrs. Sanchez died from
gun shot wounds inflicted by Juan Bonito
Duran, and that Duran died by his own
hand. a
Shortly after Mrs. Sanchez died a tele-
graph dispatch was sent to her father,
Mr.. A. Blackhurst, who lives on a ranch
some twenty miles from Fort Collins, in
forming him Of the tragedy. Mr.. Black
hurst lsan aged man and it is feared that
the intelligence Frustrated him. No an
swer was received up to 9 o'clock last
night and it was then decided that the
funeral services oyer the remains of Mrs.
Sanchez would be held at72 o'clock this
afternoon. The funeral will occur at the
house, Rev. George G. Rafter, pastor of
St Marks Episcopal church, officiating.
The body Of the murdered woman lay
at her late home yesterday and was viewed
by a large number of persons who had
known her during her short residence in
this city. Singularly enough none Of
Duran's friends nor any Mexican friends
of the family have called at the house
since the tragedy, or evinced any interest
in its particulars.
Both Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Conway
seem to feel that they have been injured
by the published reports of the tragedy,
but no errors or misstatements were made,
unless, perchance, originally so made by
by them, and hence no wrong was in
tended or done. Nothing of any especial
interest was discovered by the Coroner's
jury or developed during the day. A full
history of the case was given the morn
ing after the tragedy, nothing that will
interest the public can be added. and
after the body of Mrs. Sanchez is laid
away to-day the awful tragedy will be as
a tale that is told.

MIDNIGHT TUsSLES.
Ben Freeman Held Up at a Gaping
Pistols Point.
He demonstrates and is Knocked
Down and Robbed.
An Unsophisticated Foreigners Ad-
venture in a Dark Alley.

Between II and u O'Clock Tuesday
night Nh. Ben Freeman was assaulted by
footpads near the Union Pacific freight
depot and was robbed. Upon escaping
from the highwaymen he ran to the house
of a friend, where he remained until yes
terday morning, when the robbery first
gained publicity.
Freeman is a distant relative of Mr..
and Mrs. John Eames, who reside on
Hill street south Of Sixteenth street, and
is a frequent visitor at their house. He
passed Tuesday evening at their home
and shortly after IL o'clock left with the
intention of going to his room on West
fifteenth street. When near the freight
depot he was confronted by two men
whose faces were masked and who ordered
him to throw up his hands. The com
mand was made imperative by the aid of
a revolver, which was placed in uncom-
Portable proximity to his head, and he
obeyed it with becoming promptness.
While n footpad guarded Freeman the
other examined his pockets. The first
article of value taken was a twenty dollar
gold piece, that being all the money he
had. The robber who held the pistol
grumbled at the amount, surprising the
coin to be only andollar, but the other
robber had detected its denomination and
stated its value. When the robber at
tempted to take Freeman watch he re-
sisted the movement and plainly de-
clared his intention of fighting for its
possession. Arishort struggle at once
ensued and Freeman was knocked down.
After he had fallen he managed to trip
the fellow who held the pistol aud that
individual suddenly sprawled NJ full length
upon the snow. Before the robber re-
gained his feet or could use his pistol
Freeman was running down the street at
the top of his speed and he stopped not
until he had reached the door of his rela-
tives. 1lai roL tntI l.i-1e rss .
c-He related his adventure to the aston
ished people, for he had left the house
not ten minutes before, and then took an
inventory of his loss. In one pocket he
had a number of checks for quite a large
amount, but those had not been taken,
his watch was still in his pocket, but the
gold piece was gone. The blow that
felled him was a hard one and left a re-
minder IN the shape Of a confusion. Not
caring to again venture upon the streets
Freeman remained at Mr.. Eames' house
all night and yesterday morning reported
his adventure to the police.
The footpads had their faces concealed
with masks and Mr.. Freeman inclines to
the opinion that they wore caps with a
cape which covered the face and head en-
tirely and in which apertures were lett for
the eyes. Such a style of cap is quite
common and from its peculiar character
is known as a "Ku-Klux' cap. The
Identification of the robbers is therefore
impossible. ll1 4l

The youth who made an exhibition Of
himself the other evening at the rink
apologized for his conduct to Mr.. Keefe,
which to do him justice was innocent of
any intentional vulgarity. The rules
which govern the rink will hereafter be
more rigidly enforced so that its present
great popularity may be maintained at
any cost. A club consisting Of about fifty
couples is at present negotiating with Mr..
Keefe to secure the exclusive use of the
rink for one night in each week. The
attendance at the rink, afternoon and
evening, is growing larger and the city
does not afford a more pleasant place in
which to spend an innocent and enjoyable
hour. .f.

THE DIsTRIcT COURT.
The sIoan-Harvicker Case settled and
Routine Business Transacted. 20.

The chief matter Of interest in the
District Court yesterday was the decision
in the case of Matthew Sloan VS., Arvella
Mason. The suit was brought by Sloan
to Dust Mrs. Mason, who is better known
as Mrs. Harvicker, from occupation of a
house at Sloan lake. The defendant re-
fused to leave or surrender the premises
which she occupied as a tenant, and the
plaintiff declined to give his consent to
her remaining as the occupant, irrespec-
tive of any rental considerations. The
court rendered a judgment in favor of
Sloan and ordered that possession of the
premises be given to him.
In the case of II. Altman & Go. vsa
John Weber, judgment was given in favor
of the plaintiffs for $375.s4 with interest.
In the matter of the Keller & Keith

to dismiss was filed. A case or two was

A greatly excited foreigner. who was
probably a Swede, reported to the police
yesterday that footpads had assaulted him
about ~ O'Clock Tuesday night. The place
where the assault was made he locates as
the alley west of Eddy street between Eff
teenth md Sixteenth streets, and not an
hundred yards from the spot where Mr..
Freeman was robbed a few moments be-
fore. The man was unable to give a very
coherent account of the attempt to rob
him. but stated that he could identify the
robbers He described the footpads
infinitely and using the description as a
basis of identification, officer Nolan
started onia search for the men. Last
night he found two fellows who might be
suspected of the robbery and
who answered to the description
given Of the footpads. The men
were placed in the City Jail and in a
short time were confronted by the Swede
who failed to identify them, whereupon
they were released. 1t is not believed
that the Swede had any money about his
person and it does not seem probable that
he can identify the foot-pads. The Swede
stayed at the Western Hotel on Tuesday
night. Yesterday he had quite a sum of
money, while Tuesday he was known to
have none. 1t is presumed that the rob
bers learned in some way that he was
soon to receive funds, or else they were
merely laying in wait for anyone who
CHANGED to appear in that vicinity. The
name of the Swede could not be learned.
