A SPECIAL dispatch from Little
Rock to the Memphis Appeal says;
"Mosc Harris, the editor of the
Horse Shoe. who was run out of Hot
Spring. by outraged citizens, left for
St. Louis this morning. He spent
two nights in Little Rock, the first
in the calaboose and the second in
being used to wipe up the floor OF
the Gazette office, where he went to
fight and had his wishes gratifed."
That's about the size of the man.
He has frequently been denounced
by the Press of the State AS a thief,
liar, gambler, &C.; and in the ca
pacltv of a newspaper editor, an ad-
vocate of lawlessness, immortality,
matchmaking, and everything calcu-
lated to lower and debase society
The people of Hot Springs didn'nt
drive him away any too soon.

The Pine Bluff Commercial wants
to know if Arkansas will make fool
of herself by sending an incompe-
tent man to the Senate. The qucs-
ton must not be treated lightly.
The man the people should look for
is that man who, as great lawyer,
great scholar, distinguished citizen
and upright man, can shed luster on
the name of Arkansa.- l.. h. Dem.
Just so, and yet the woods seem
to be full of the right sort Of mate

of statesmen who "unqucstionably

The next entertainment to which our
people will be treated is ''Davy Crock
ett," as faithfully impersonated by
Frank Mayo. 1t will be rendered on
Saturday night in the Opera house, and
tickets are now on sale at Rhodes &
Iroxell's. In speaking OF this play,
the Indianapolis Sentinel says: THAT
the sterling romantic drama, ,Dayy
Crockett" has no uncertain hold upon
the affections of Amusement lovers
here, and that Mr.. Frank Mayors mas
terful assumption of the title part is an
all-powerful magnet, are facts that were
amply verified at the Grand Opera
house last night. The audience in
numbers and composition was in the
nature Of a sincere compliment to the
great actor and to the dramatic work
with which his name must needs ever
be associated. The drama itself is rich
in beauty, sentiment and noble inspira-
tions. Its central figure is that of the
honest. courageous and chivalric Crock
EFT, and its outlines in substance have
III them everything to admire; nothing
to condemn. Mr.. Mayo has allied him
self to the part with that consummate
art Which battles the endeavnr Of the
critic to discover a flaw; and last night
his admirers were glveu to find new
beauties in the character which he 30
admirably assume His support was
in every respect commendable."

The board of county commissioners
reconyened yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock to conclude the business of the
day before. They further considered
and acted upon the many bills that had
been presented for allowance, and
transacted some other routine business.
There were two other matters of special
interest to the public which the board
acted upon and which are worthy of
mention.
The first is that the board authorized
and directed the clerk to advertise for
bids to supply the medicine and other
medical supplies for the use of the
county hospital; and, second, they au-
thorized the clerk to advertise for and
receive bids for the construction of a
bridge across Reshaw creek, on the
road between Cheyenne and Fort Lara
mic, the same to be erected at a cost
not to exceed $500.
The board, after a long session, ad-
journed until the next regular meeting.

wonuIa Goes on the wnrputh.

Red Clouds nephew is not as it
would seem, quite equal to the Los
that were the subjects of Fenimore
Cooper's sentimental pen. Wohula, or
Cook as he is called In English, likes a
a little irewater occasionally and after
be gets a little down he, like a good
many white men, wants a little more.
Toward night yesterday, Wohula con-
cluded to take a little spin around
town and see the boys, especially those
who are in the habit of ''setting 'em
up" He eventually brought up at
Colonel Murrin's and was quite badly
intoxicated when he arrived there. in
fact he was decidedly and thoroughly
drunk. After remaining at that place
Tor some little time, he concluded il
was about time to turn himself loose
and go on the wal path just like any
other noble Injun who desires to pre-
serve the traditional nObleness of the
race would do.
This, however, did not suit the folks
at the %colonel's, and by making a grand
rally of the forces at that post, the
noble red man was forcibly elected
from the place and turned out upon the
street. Here lie continued his warlike
demonstrations, but was quickly COB
bled up by officer Smith, who proceed
ed to start hIm toward the calaboose.
He-resisted, however, and made "a des-
perate struggle for his liberty, and be-
ing a powerful man, he for a time sue
cessfuily deted and combatted the Of
hcer. Smith at length called on the
posse comitatus for assistance, which
was promptly responded to by the by
ISLANDERS, but in the end it took seven
men to overcome him and land him in
the calaboose. When he had been
forced into the cage of the city prison,
which is outside of the calaboose pro-
per, and while Smith WAS after the KEY
to the jail, he made most desperate
efforts to release himself and stamped
and pounded furiously on the walls and
door of the cage, and finally threw him
self on the floor, where he set up a
tremendous bowling which was probably
intended as the genuine warwhoop.
About all that could be understood,
however. was "hOw, how, how" or it
sounded like that. When the key was
procured he was promptly conveyed to
the calaboose, and will probably make
his appearance in the police court this
morning.

Last night, shortly after 10 O'Clock,
the "toot-toot- loot" of the locomotive
whistles, and the ponderous {" ding
dong" Of the city bell announced the
presence Of a fire. Away to the west
shot up a column Of flames and smoke. In
a moment the fire companies were on
their way 70 the scene, and with them
a reporter. Upon reaching the Camp
Carlin track it was found That the burn.
ing building was situated upon the fiat
bordering upon Crow creek, and far
from any hydrant. The hose companies
therefore stopped, but the Pioneer hook
and ladder continued on their, way and
rendered some service.
Yesterday there lived in a frame ten
ement house on the dat, four men who
were recently discharged, among
many others, from Camp Csrlin. Their
names were Butler, Draper, McConkey
and Weber. These men expected an
addition of two Mon to their number
last night and as they had rented the
house of its owner, Mrs. Merrill, of
Camp Carlin, they expected to keep
bachelors hall, at least for a time.
After eating their supper last evening,
all fire, as they state, was carefully ex-
tinguished, .-and the quartette betook
themselves up into the city, leaving, as
they supposed, the building in perfect
safety. At the time above mentioned
they were startled by the cry of '%'ire,''
and rushed homeward to find their
shelter in flames.
The alarm was first given by John
Shea, who noticed flames issuing from
the roof, and who Immediately ran
to the spot, Mr.. Shea was the means
OF saving several trunks belonging to
the men, but while doing so was con-
siderably scorched. Before help could
be obtained the building was a mass of
flames, and soon burned entirely to the
ground. Mr.. Butler lost his trunk and
bed; Mr.. Draper, his valise, bed, and
Sl5 dollars in moned; and Messrs. Nc
Conkey and Weber their beds.
The are is supposed to be the wolk Of
an i%ncendiary but no cause for the act
can be thought of. The loss to Mrs
Merrill will be comparatively small.

A LocnI Landmark.

The Territorial Historical
are now preparing, under the super.
vision of Mr.. p. W. Wilkerson, an
elaborate volume pertaining to Wyo-
ming, which Is destined to prove a val
liable means OF general and local infor-
nation to our people. This history
will contain three leading features,
general, local and illustrative. The
general portion will embrace the com
pilation of facts relative to the growth
and development Of the territory from
Its primitive to its present condition,
with the most authentic accounts of
pre-territorial times, such AS can be
gathered from the official records, press
reports, recollections OF the early ex.
plorers and pioneer settlers. In this
department is included the natural
features and character of tue country,
soil, climate, mineralogY, etc. The
local department is destined to embrace
the history of counties, neighborhoods,
localities, etc. The biographical sketch
es of prominent men, early settlers, his.
toric characters, and those identified
with the interests Of the territory, viii
form an appropriate and interesting
feature of the work, and preserve II
record of the people who were the
founders of its institutions and whose
history would otherwise in all probabll-
ity be lost to their posterity forever.
The Illustrations are to comprise views
OF public buildings and portraits Of
prominent people aud early settlers.
There will also be included AN interest
ing description of the National park
The work is to contain from 500 To
200 pages, la handsomely bound, and
made strong and durable. a similar
work for Montana, by the same author,
has just reached completion, and it
seems to give general satisfaction TO
the residents OF our neighbOriug terri
tory on the north. The work on the
Wyoming volume is to be pushed rap
idly towards completion so that 1t may
he placed before the public within 4
brief period.

On Monday evening an enjoyable
minstrel performance was given MT
Fort Laramie by the soldiers, the pro
gramme of which is before us. 1t is
stated by our correspondent that, owing
to an unexplained mlshap, several of
the stars announced upon the pro-
gramme were unable to appear. How
ever, the performance went through to
the satisfaction of all present.
These performances are a source of
amusement to the boys and, with
dances, constitute the sole amusement
of the post. So do get up good troupe
and have it properly managed and it
will give pleasure to the entire garri-

The crank which has been mentioned
heretofore by this paper was taken on
yesterday to the county jail for safe
keeping. His real name is Tatro, and
he has for some time been q plasterer
here in Cheyenne, but no one seems to
know much about him or where he be-
longs. His mania seems to be on the
subject OF religion, and his mind is APP
parently almost gone, 80 far as exercis-
ing control over himself is concerned.
He preached a sermon to the prisoners
in the county Jail Immediately on his
arrival at that place yesterday. 1t is
said to have Leen quite a sermon, and
was ~attentively listened to by TIE in
mates Of the Jail. By direction of DIR.
Maynard he will be held for two or
three days before he is brought before
the probate court.
