before the boys get through with the

slim prctext that they teiy insecure in
their mortgage of $500, which they
had but recently purchased from A.
7. Glaze, and upon which nothing
was then due, was certainly in poor
taste to say the least. The fever Of
excitement among the PEG, .le and dis
gust felt toward the Post prOprietors
for their actions, was made SO plain
and positive that such an attempt will
not occur again right away. The
American character is decidedly in
favor Of fair play.

Mr.. James Holland, of the Bay State
Cattle company, Wyoming, was in Brush
yesterday. He says the cattle on the
north 81 lie Of the Platte are fat and there
are a great many calves. He told the re-
porter hat they had driven in W drives
from the round up, over 1000 head of
cattle belonging in Wyoming, back to
their range. All the calves are branded
and left on the Platte until the fall round

T
War of Tongues N Fists Which2
Was Settled In Court.

Yesterday forenoon Henry Hoffman,
who has a ways been since his residence
in Che enne a very quie. and well-behav-
cd young man. came along on the south
side of Sixteenth Street, and on the side
walk, close to the Tivoli corner, met Mr..
Leibv, who was walking with another
person. Hoffman it seems, thought he
had some grievance which he thought
ought to be settled, and ut once
accosted Leiby in not very complimentary
terms. An alteration, mainly in words,
ensued, Hoffman telling Leiby that he
had the money in his pocket
to pay his fine with and said
if he wanted to he would go out into
the street with him and fight it out.
Leibey did not care to have any trouble
with Hoffman, and seemed desirous Of
not having any trouble with him, and LIE
hid as much. In the meantime Nh.
Richardson, accompanied by Tom Carey,
barkeeper at the Tivoli, came out, md
not proposing to have any disturbance
they got the parties separated. Carey
tJok Leibey inside and shortly after
Mr.. Richardson took Hoffman inside also,
but to another part of the room. By this
time Mr.. l.. b. Austin, who it seems had
started for the depot in company with
Leibey, but had been delayed on the way,
came into the Tivoli, and as both of the
other parties were still in no very pleasant
state of mind, before Mr.. Richardson
and others could prevent it a sort ola free
fight took place between them, in which
nobody was hurt. 1t wound up by Hoff-
mar running out of the saloon. Quite a
large crowd, which had in the meantime
gathered in and around the place, dis
persed and the affair was over. Mr.. Aus
tin, however, went before Judge Lee vol
UNFAIRLY and paid a fine of SIS and costs
for his share in the transaction. A war
rant in the meantime was issued by Judge
Fisher for Leibey and Hoffman and both
were arrested. The cases were heard
separately, resulting in the payment of a
fine of IS and costs by Leibey and $40
and costs by Hoffman. The %latter's fine
was larger that Leibey's for the reason
that the court considered that Hoffman
was the m st to blame in the first IN
stance. The quarrel of course ibid not
have its inception in the Tivoli, which
place is always orderly and respectable.

Mr.. E. W. Kiplinger, an old timer in
Cheyenne and the Far West, who left
this city in 1875, and went to the Black
Hills to live, returned here yesterday. He
states that it is his intention of remaining
in this city until fall at least. Mr.. Kip
linger has many friends and old acquaint-
ances in Cheyenne who will be glad to
welcome him back to his old home. For
the greater part of the time since he left
Cheyenne he has resided either at Dead
wood or some of the gulch mining camps,
but lately has made his home in Spear
fish, which place he says is bound to be
the leading town of the Black Hills.

C. B. Goodell, A. Gilchrist and County
Clerk Jeffrey, who is er o5icio a member
of the board, held a meeting at the
Court House yesterday for the transaction
of business which had accumulated since
the last meeting. \ large number of ap-
plications for brands were considered by
the board AMI the greater part of which
were rejected for the reason that they con-
ficted wholly or in plrt with some which
we're already on file and recorded. The
brands applied for by the following nam
ell parties were admitted, to wit: The
Wyoming Land and Stock Company,

A Trip Through 1t by a Sunday school
Missionary.

Rev. II. I. Case, Of Denver, who is the
missionary of the Home Missionary So
ciety of the United States, and who has
been at work for a couple of years organ
izing Sunday schools throughout Colorado
and portions of New Mexico, came in last
evening from a trip through the North
Park, whittier he went in turtherance Of
the mission which he has been sent West
to fulfill, On his trip he organized one
school at a point not far from Teller City.
The country, he says, appears to be well
adapted to grazing purposes, and some
parties have recently purchased and
brought some fine cattle into the park.
AT the present time the cattle business
appears to be the leading industry of that
region. There appears to be but little
being done in the mines there, and, in
fact, there is but little talk heard in re-
gard to them. Teller City, he says, is
pretty dead, and there is scarcely any
thing there at the present time. Mr..
CASE has been in the park nearly two
weeks, and when he got ready to come
out he started in the staGe-coach, such as
it is; but, soon giving that up, he pro-
cured a horse and made his way out of
the wilderness on horseback"

A HARD CASE.
An Old Man who Naturally Grayitates
TO the C~aIaboose.

Hans Cessing, apparently about co
years of age, was brought before Judge
Lee yesterday charged with being drunk
and having created a disturbance and
breach of the peace. Hans is a hard case
and one of the most i%ncorrig bic chara :
tiers the police courts have to deal with.
He has been in the ~calaboose frequently
for beng drunk, but it does no good.
Frequently the police have tried to scare
him by telling him that he had been Q n
fenced to be hung, and that they were
going to hunt up JEFF Carr to do the job.
The old man broke them all up on this
game. however, not long ago, by hunting
himself for JEFF, to sec if he wanted 10
hang him. He will get drunk every time
he gees into town, and he has got so used
to the calaboose, that occas onal'y, when
he begins to get full, he will inIur re the
way to that place. Yesterday, rs the old
man started out with the off err f,r the
calaboose, after the court ha ordered him
taken there, he turned around and winked
to some Of the ~bystanders as much as to
say, That's al right boys" He is never
kept in custody US a punishment, but only
as a means of SOLDERING him up. The
chances are that the old man will go on
his last drunk befors many weeks roll
round.
