HANDSOME PRICE FOR A TUsCARoRA
Observation-Disclosures Hoar might
use the following to point a moral or
adorn tale in some OF his phllan-
thropic illusions in advocacy OF the
encouragement Of Chinese immigra-
ton: "China Pete," the Chinawoman
about whom one/of her countrymen
was killed and another badly shot
sometime ago, was week before last
taken to California by her owner. lie
took her to Sacramento where ne sofa
her for $3.50. He made no secret
of his intentions when he left here
with the woman, and has since writ
ten to his Chinese friends the partic-
ulars Of the sale and the price he OBJ
tanned, just as he would if he had dis
nosed of horse or mule instead OF
degraded specimen Of female human
ity. Such transactions are Of almost
daily occurrence on this Coast and
will continue SO long as Mongolian
advocates hold supremacy in our Ma
tional Courts, and Chinese gold is
powerful enough to clog the machine
~ of the law which is supposed to
connect with the tribunals OF Justice.

The North Platte Robbery Ends
In a Tragedy.
Contradictory Stories Cause the
Clerk to be Suspected.
Fearing Arrest he Sends a Ball
Through His Heart.

Special Dispatch to TIE LEADER
NORTH PLATTE, December last
night, December /. Il. w. Lozier. the
clerk of the Railroad Hotel, was found in
the hotel with his hands and legs tied and
his mouth stopped with a gag. The hotel
was robbed OF 5000 and Lozier claimed
that three disguised men had committed
the robbery.
This morning a suspected mar was ar
rested and brought before Lozier for
Identification, when he positively asserted
that the man was one Of the trio of rob
bers- The man clearly proved where he
passed the entire night and it is asserted
that he was brought before Lozier as an
experiment, it being well known that he
was not n of the d~esperadoes. Be that
as it may a suspicion was aroused that
Lozicr himself was a party to the robbery,
and when carefully questioned he told a
contradictory and somewhat improbable
story.
At 10 o'clock this evening a warrant was
issued for Lozier's arrest. Shortly after
the warrant has been issued Lozier went
to his nom in The hotel and a few
moments afterwards one of the attaches
ofthe hotel raped on the door of the
room. when instantly a shot echoed
through the house. When the people
rushed into the room Lozier was found

THE DISTRICT COURT.
The Trial of wahula Occupies Most Of
the Day.


The District Court convened Mt $50
o'clock yesterday pursuant to adjourn
ment, Chief Justice Lacey presiding.
Griffith &'Wedge VS.. A II. Swan. The
demurrer was sustained and leave was
given to amend.
John W. London vs.. G.. W. Lugen-
beel. The defendant was called and \
default was entered.
The Territory VS.. Charles Cook. In
dictment for grand larceny. Cook is the
h~alf-breed Indian, who is known also as
Wahuln, Woodbox Jim, and Wunke-
hunkewawa. He was defended by W. P.
Carroll Some amusement was caused by
the arguments of counsel, in which refer
ences were made to Wahula's friendship
for THE LEADER during the time the
counsel for the defendant was one of the
editors of this paper. The case was
called in the morning and occupied about
four hours in its trial. The evidence was
very direct and the jury was out about
five minutes when it returned a verdict of
guilty" The Indian was remanded
for sentence.
The Petit Jury was excused until 10
O'Clock this morning. T. j. Rutledge
was excused from the jury and Frank
Sparhawk was drawn to fill the vacancy
The Court adjourned to $50 O'Clock
this morning.

While in San Francisco last week Prof.
F. ]. Stanton met Colonel Stuart Taylor,
who is well known in CHEYENNE. Colonel
Taylor is president of the Bohemian club
and is a recognized Democratic leader of
the Pacific coast 1t is an open secret
in San Francisco that he is a prominent
candidate for Governor Of this Territory,
and it is stated that he will have a strong
senatorial backing. California is not in a
position to ask or expect many marked
favors from the coming administration,
but it is asserted that Colonel Stuart's
champions arc not all Californians by any
means. Colonel Taylor is certainly a
scholar and a gentleman Of rare attain
ments withal, and a worse selection could
be made for the next executive of this
Territory.

POLICE COURT NOTES.
The DoIngs of sinners Picked up by the
Police.

Monday night Officers Nolan and Deit-
rick arrested three women Of French per-
s%uasion, who recently came to this city
from Denver, in response to the urgent
invitation Of the Denver authorities.
Yesterday morning the trio was brought
before Justice Lee. When asked what
was their plea to the charges preferred
against them they protested an inability
to understand the Court. They talked
loudly and excitedly to each other, using
the French language only. His Honor
sat idly toying with a pen while they
jabbered but eventually, and much TO their
surprise, told them, IN the same language,
that their conversation had satifed the
Court as to their guilt. Cornelia Argue,
Flora Tell and Alberta johnson were the
names they gave, and Cornelia, Flora
and Alberta were each fined $l8. The
fines were paid amidst fearful lamenta-
tons.
Lulu Harvicker, Lulu Ayres and a gen
tleman who said Here" when the name
of John Doe was called, we're taken be-
fore Justice Fisher yesterday under a
charge Of fast and reckless driving. The
usual fines were imposed and were paid,
A man named John Harper, who
claims to be something Of an attorney
and who has been spreeing rather per-
s%istently for some weeks, was arrested
yesterday and confined in the City Jail.
He will probably be released when he be-
comes sober.

authority to purchase, in the name of the
city, any supplies or merchandise, and he
warned the Council that if 4 careful.

A WICKED o
A Drunken Ma Expresses His sentI-
ments with a Cue.

Yesterday morning John E. Willard
narrowly escaped being killed by a half
drunken fellow named James Ganley.
Willard entered a saloon on Sixteenth
street, where Ganley and a companion
were playing a game of billiards. As
Willard passed the billiard table, he jok-
ingly snapped one of the balls in his
fingers, thus changing its position on the
table.
The accounts of the affair are meagre
and contradictory. but the general tenor
of the narratives of the difficulty rather
~substantiate the &c parte statements to
the effect that Ganley, with no other
provocation than that already related,
struck Willard with a billiard cue, knock
ing him senseless, and breaking the cue
into three pieces.
The injured man was taken to his room
on Seventeenth street and DR.. Marston
was summoned to attend to his injuries.
The full force of the blow struck Willard
on the neck and it was decided that it
would not result seriously. Had the blow
fallen a few inches higher, on his head, it
would doubtless have been fatal. Willard
was unconscious for some hours, but last
night had regained consciousness and was
resting easily.
Ganley and a man named Mike Crib
bins we're arrested but last evening Crib
bins was released as it was clearly proven
that he was in no way implicated in the
assault.
Willard is spoken of as a very worthy
young man, and a rumor that the blow
would prove fatal caused some little ex-
element until was clearly shown to be an
error. Willard at one time worked for
H. H. Ellis and is now in the employ of
the Union Pacific. An examination will
probably not be held until tomorrow.

The Coroner departed in the afternoon,

EyerybOdy's Nose One-Sided.

A very singular fact has been OBJ
served with regard not so much to the
shape of the nose as to the setting of it
in the face, SO to speak. To be strictly
correct, from the artists point of view,
the nose should be accurately in the
middle of the face, and at right angles
with line from the pupil of one eye to
that of the other As singular fact it
is rarely or never found thus placed. 1t
is almost invariably little out of 1.-THE
square, and the fact of its being so is
often that which lends peculiar ex-
preston and piquancy TO the face. A
medical writer points out that there are
anatomical reasons why a slight devia-
ton from the true central line may be
expected, and that nose which lies
accurately straight between the two
eyes may be considered an abnormal
one, and that the only absolutely correct
organ is that which deviates little to
the right or left. - Chicago journal.

Good physicians place no restrictions on
the quantity of food for city man or
woman of active habits, but they urge
that the proportion of meats and pas
tries to vegetables be lessened. The free
use of fruit and milk is strongly advo-
Gated, to correct the bad effects of over
eating and of stimulating food. Fruit
juices are believed to accelerate the
natural and healthful action of the
almentary canal, to prevent the reten-
ton of wasted tissue, and to maintain at
its normal condition the prespiratory
system, one of the most important and
least remembered portions of the physi-
cal machinery. While not delaying or
| diminishing nutrition in any way, fruit,
fused in sufficient quantity, is known
to lower the temperature of the blood
that is overheated by liberal feeding
combined with lack of exercise. New
York has plenty of melons and peaches
| during the summer months; but in eight
of the twelve months of the year fruit is
regarded as a luxury rather than a
necessity. A physician with a large
| practice in a fashionable district in New
York said recently that careful inquiry
failed to discover that any one OF his
patients ever bought apples, except for
special treatment in the kitchen, al
though the apple is the most abund-
ant, cheap, and ever.present of the
fruits which are peculiarly beneficial as
food.
The few rules given above do not OBJ
viate the necessity for special treatment
for persons who are growing old too
rapidly, for age nearly always manifests
its approach by finding its victim
weakest part and attacking it. They
are. however, SO contrary to general
custom that they will be new to most
people who read them, as they are to
nearly all who obtain them, for the first
time, from family physicians.-N. y
