THE COLD SNAP.
Remarkable Change of Temper
allure in Four Hours.
Thermometers Show a Differ
ence of Fifty Degrees,
How Other Parts of the Terri
tory are Affected.

From the standpoint Of the weather
clerk, Cheyenne for the past few days has
been holding a rather anomalous position.
Very chilly weather has been prevailing
both east and west, with the mercury
crouching away below zero, while a mar
row strip of country, including this citya
has been revealing in mild and compare:
lively beautiful weather.
The highest temperature reached in
Cheyenne yesterday was 40 above zero.
Throughout the greater portion of the
day the sun shone with such intensity that
the slight fall of snow which encountered
the streets was rapidly converted into
vapor. Even as early as 5 o'clock in
the morning the temperature stood 36'
above zero, jumping to 42o at l o'clock
and dropping to SO above at2:4O o'clock.
In the early afternoon many people
were interested in watching the cold wave
which could for several hours be seen ap-
preaching from the north. 1t was the
same wave which appeared in Montana on
the 22d inst. 1t came heralded, as it
were, by a ieecy cloud OF vapor, which in
Dictated for hours its approach and the di-
%rection it was f~ollowing
TAT Bard's Ranch, thirty miles north of
here, the temperature stood at 1lo below
zero at noon. when at the same moment
the thermometer in this city indicated 42o
above zero. The approacb of the cold
wave was very Gradual II did not strike
the CITY until 2.4O o'clock in the afer.
noon when the wind suddenly veered
from the west to the north and tbawing
weather was turned IN freezing in fifteen
minutes. The heavy yapor uprising from
the streets was rapidlv transformed into
aeeecv n~articles of ice and the SLIGHT
wind mined the ears and hands of the
wavfarer with hitter intensity.
A remarkable fact in connection with
the weather Yesterday was the extraordi-
nary range of the Thermometer. from 400
above. the highest temperature. to 100 be-
low. the lowest. or no less than so and
this too in the brief spaee of four hours.
This is the greatest daily range shown by

TORTURED FOR MONEY.
A Terrible Band of Burglars
Work Wheeling.
People Living in Isolated Houses
Much Alarmed.
Harrigan and Harris Theater
Entirely Destroyed.
A Terrible Band.

WHEELING, W. Va, December 23.-
A second outrage and robbery by hooded
burglars in the past three days has greatly
excited the people of this city. On Sun
day six masked men entered the home of
Mrs. Workenong, and after horribly beat
ing the family stole about $1,000 in gold.
Last night four men, evidently of the
same gang, broke into the house of Elijah
Marling, a bachelor and miser, and find
ing only 1882 on his person put him to the
most horrible torture to force him to re-
veal the hiding place of his gold. He was
tied to a bedpost, stripped and red hot
poken applied to his back and thighs in no
less than twenty places. Hot oil was also
poured down his back. His sufferings were
terrible. He evidently had no money con-
cealed. In their anger at the failure the
burglars struck him a heavy blow on
the head and left him hanging insensible
in his fastenings. He was found six
hours later nearly freezing and half dead.
His condition is dangerous. He is nearly
60 years of age. The robbers work with
seeming impunity, and all efforts to To-
or capture them seems useless. The
county %constabulary is powerless, and the
jewellers in isolated houses are in constant
dread.

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER
Fort LARAMIE, Wyo., December %
The weather has been cold and stormy
since the 29th instant, the thermometer
ranging from zero to 29' below. At
present it is l0' below zero. The snow
is about one foot deep and is still falling
rapidly. There is a slight northwest
wind, but not sufficient to cause a drift.
The cattle are suffering considerably. A
party from the P f ranch reports see
ing a number of dead animals between
here and that point to-day that had died
recently. A vast herd passed down the
north side of the Platte to-day drifting
with the storm Reports from the ranges
are meagre, as owing to the severity of
the weather few ranchmen come to the
post. At Fort Fetterman there is re-
ported one foot of snow and the Their
mometer 2O0 below zero. Hat Greek
reports about the same.

THE ARTEsIAN WELL.
A Number Of Bids Received for Sink
Ing the County Well.

The County Commissioners held a meet
ing yesterday morning and opened the bids
that had been received for boring an arte-
sian well for the county. The bids varied
greatly in their estimates of the cost of
boring a well and in the price of material,
as will be seen by the following list ofbids
submitted for consideration:
Swan Brothers, of Hiawatha, Kansas,
offered to bore a well ofany size from l0to4
inches in diameter for $50 foot to depth of
500 feet; from 500 to l 900 feet, So so per
foot; 1000 to 1900 feet, 81 per foot;
1900 to 1000 feet, So per foot. The bid
states that 81 per foot will be charged in
addition to the above rates if the well is
made more than 10 or less than Is inches
in diameter. The bid does not include the
pipe.
Mr.. ID. NJ. Keith, representing the
National Tube Works Company of Den
yer, submitted a bid for supplies only.
The prices charged forpipe were graduated
from 22l cents for finch pipe up to s.
for l5-inch pipe.
Mr.. D. Williams offered to sink a well
of s inches diameter to a depth of 1900
feet for $4,000.
The Diamond Prospecting Company
submitted several bids. For a well 800
or less feet in depth, having a diameter Of
s inches, their price is ST., 500; Tor l. 500
or less feet in depth, the diameter being G
inches, they want SIS, 600; for a 4-inch
well $4,000, and for a well of 3 inches in
diameter $4,000 is asked.
Hughes & Braden, of Denver, offered to
bore a well TO a depth of 1900 feet, the
bore to be Is inches at the surface and to
be graduated smaller at various depths,
and tn furnish all supplies, for $3.50 pei
foot. Their prices ~forcasings ranged from
80 cents for 4-inch pipe up to s.. so fol
pipe of Is inches in diameter.
Messrs. Wilson & Metcalf, of Boulder
offered to bore the first 100 feet of the
well for 81 per foot, the second 100 feet
for 81. 25 per foot, and so on for each l0C
feet, adding 25 cents per foot to l,00C
feet. After that depth they wanted $4.7i
per foot.
George Scott & Co., of Cheyenne
agreed to sink a well of 15-inch bore to 4
depth of 800 feet for $l4, 200.
No action was taken on the bids, anC
the Board adjourned. The matter vii
probably be left to the decision of the new
Board, which takes the reins next month

Harrigan g. Harris Theatre Burned.

Harrigan g. Harris Theatre Burned.
NEW York, December 23.-Harrigan
x Harris Theatre Comique. on Broadway
opposite the New York Hotel. was de-
stroyed by fire this morning. The theatre
cost 1925, 900. There was no insurance
on the building or contents. Books and
money belonging to the Actors Fund
Association in the safe in their rooms on
the second floor are supposed to have been
totally destroyed. The safe in the Treas
urer's office of the theatre contained be-
sides the books of the establishment
$4,000 in money and the manuscript of
several Of Harrigan's plays. The excite
ment in the Collonade Hotel was for a time
intense. The walters had gone through
the bnilding and aroused the guests.
Many of the latter became terrified and
ran down stairs in their night clothes.
The proprietor succeeded in quieting them
after awhile. The interior decorations of
the theatre cost $50, 900, and the scenery
for The Major, which was the opening
play for the new house, cost IS, 200. Since
that time the scenery of ten plays had been
added, which increased the value of the
stage settings to $4,000. Besides this,
the mounting of Harrigan's new play Ne
Alister's Legacy, which cost $4,000, was
in the house. Everything is lost. The
insurance policy ran out a short time ago,
and in the press of business its renewal
had been neglected. The total loss by the
fire will be about 500. 600.

Snow in Colorado.

DENVER, Colo. December %. -Reports
from the mountain show that the snow
storm which has been in progress for sew
eral days still continues, thus far without
unusual or serious results. The storm is
most severe in the Blue and Eagle river
countries, where the snow is several feet
deep and drifting. The mountain roads
are considerably blockaded. 1t will prob
ably be two or three days before the Salt
Lake trains will be able to make Marshall
Pass. The weather in the mountains is
warm, and the indications are that a storm
will soon break

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
Fort MCKINNEY, Wyoming, Decem-
Der 23.-The thermometer the past ten
days has not at any time been above l0'
below zero. At present it records $50
below. There is over a foot of snow on
the level, and a fierce wind is blowing. 1t
is the worst storm experienced since 1882.
The mails are late, and it is impossible to
drive at night through the drifts and cut
ting winds.
The elegant Court House at Buffalo has
been nearly completed, and in it the citi-
Gems of Buffalo and the surrounding towns
will give a ball on Christmas eve, which
promises to be a most brilliant affair.
The severe storm will doubtless be dis
astrous to the cattle interests on account
of its long duration and the unusually

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Gather Around the Board for the Feast
is Spread.


A Merry Christmas How those three
words carry one lack to the happy days
of childhood, when the bodily existence of
Santa Claus, with his rudy red face and
twinkling eyes, was religiously believed.
How we laid awake for an hour or more
confident hat we would hear the feet of
the reindeer on the roof and catch Santa
Claus himself as he emerged from the fire
place, and how, at last, our senses stole
away in delicious dreams of the joys ofthe
morrow, until. ere we were aware, sweet
sleep, the dreamless sleep of childhood,
kissed our eyelids down. And then the
glad awakening in the early morning. The
shouts of glee as each new surprise was re-
vealed from the depths of our most
~capacious stocking, and finally the grand
Christmas dinner, the best of all the
yearl
AT midnight last night a reporter was
hurrying along the streets, while the snow
steadily fell and the keen air nipped ones
ears and nose, when he observed a bright
light streaming u across the whitened
walk and heard the sounds ofvoiees within
a wellknown place. Pushing open the door
he beheld a sight that plainly told Christ
mas was here. Arranged around the
store were beeves whose cleaning sides
fairly glistened with solid sweetness, huge
steers, monsters of the plains dressed
whole, and fatted calves and sheep and
meats of all kinds temptingly displayed.
Behind the counter the ever iovial Sam
Brown stood arranging and directing the
busy preparations for Christmas, Over
head hung wreaths and f~estoons and gar
lands. In brightest evergreen was woven
the words Merry Christmas 1884" and
Messrs. j. s. Taylor & Co. were evidently
determined to have a merry Christmas.
Arranged around the sides of the store
were beeves decorated with evergreens and
flowers; hanging here and there were re
lieving shades of teathered game; mon
ster turkeys reared their fatted legs in the
air; v%enison, elk and antelope decked in
holiday garlands were temptingly arranged;
sucking pigs reposed with their heads
on their feet outspread, aud
juicy fruits were piled in py-
ramids of luscious beauty. Christ
mas has come indeed, and at the Seven
tenth Street Market of j. 5. Taylor 4
Co. the feast is spread.
During a conversation with Mr.. Sam
Brown the reporter learned that tine EN-
ployes would be at work all the night pre-
pairing the Christmas display, and that
owing to the enormous rush of business it
would probably be necessary to keep open
house until 10 o'clock Christmas morning.
In response to inquiry regarding what
constituted the bill of fare an answer was
made that it would be far easier to state
what was lacking. Indeed, a careful in
spection showed that everything one could
imagine was there, with the exception,
perhaps, of strawberries and black bear.
The following will show what j. S.
Taylor & Co. have prepared for a Christ
mas
Bill of Fare.
