FEVER FACTS.
Circular From the stOckurOwsrs'
Association.
A License to Arrest All violators Of
the Quarantine.
News From Fort Collins and Stock
Notes of Interest.

The following circular has been officially
issued by the Wyoming ~Stockgrowers'
Association, and is addressed to all cattle
men:
1t has been demonstrated that all rail
Texas cattle are afflicted with Texas fever,
and that they transmit this disease to
native cattle, from which the latter die.
To prevent these Teval . coming in con
tact with our range nerds, the Governor
of this Territory issued his proclamation,
positively forbidding the entrance into
any part of this Territory, until October
l, of any cattle brought wholly or in part
by rail from the South, and unloaded in
Colorado or Nebraska In addition to
this, existing law positively requires their
inspection at point of entrance into the
Territory without reference to the way in
which they came. You are not required
to discriminate whether the herd came by
trail or railroad. The Veterinarian will do
that at the time of his inspection. All
herds seeking entrance are to be heldu until
he arrives. The necessity for the execu-
ton of this order is clear and its execution
Is all important to cattlemen. The pro
clamation calls upon all citizens to see that
it is enforced. The Association is advised
that some men in charge of these Texas
herds are endeavoring to force their way
into this Territory in violation of this
prohibition. This circular is issued to
advise you that it is your duty to see that
none of these Texas cattle are per-
mitted to enter the Territory at any
point without inspection before
entering by the Territorial Veterinarian,
and that if they have entered, to get to-
gether men sufficient to hold and quaran-
tine them. The safety of your own and
your neighbors' herds depend upon your
doing this promptly and effectively. You
are authorized to use all force necessary
to do this, and as law-abiding citizens it
is your duty, if any resist the execution
of the proclamation, to arrest all persons
thus resisting, and place them in charge
of a sufficient force and send them at
once to the Cheyenne Jail. The Associa-
ton will then take charge of their cases.
The Association will protect, from all in
furious consequences, any persons who
may exercise the powers described herein,
in stopping the passage ofthe herds speci-
fled. The necessary exnenaes IN hold

A Running Battle with a Desperate
Tramp on a Freight Train.


Thursday night the train men of Con-
ductor Jerome Aliens train had a rather
interesting experience while their train
was stopping at Egbert A tramp, or at
least a man who was stealing a ride in an
empty car, was discovered by Brakeman
Cooper. Quite naturally and properly
Mr.. Cooper was more or less inquisitive,
but the tramp resented all advances, while
the somewhat reckless display of a revol-
yer was calculated to emphasize his rather
vigorous remarks Mr.. Cooper, appreci-
ating the fact he was an u~nrecognized mi
nority, retired from the feld-or the car.
1t is not intended to say that he retreated.
He simply went.
The conductor and other train men were
notified by Cooper and the entire train
crew began an assault upon the car. But
the warlike tramp had vacated the citadel.
The train started on its journey for this
city, and the train men, standing upon
the cars, were clearly outlined against the
sky when the tramp opened fire upon
them. Mr.. Cooper, who had obtained a
revolver Just after his first interview with
the tramp, returned the compliment, and
a decidedly brisk fire was keptup for some
moments. The tramp emptied his pistol
and ~reloading it continued the volleys IN
til he fired nine shots. No one was hurt,
but the matter was not dropped. Upon
the arrival ofthe train here the police
were notified of the incident and were
given a description of the combative
tramp. Yesterday Captain Smith found
the fellow, who had, by the way, conclu-
ded to pay his fare, for he arrived here on
the passenger train in the morning.
When brought before Justice Fisher
the man gave his name as Charles w.
Mason. Upon hearing the evidence JUS
tice Fisher bound Mason over to the
Grand jury under $500 bonds. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that Mason lacked
about four bits of having that sum. He
was therefore introduced to the host of
the County Hotel who will provide a nice
safe place for him until District Court
meets

Nellie Arthur,s Indian cayuse

Speaking of the President daughter,
a Washington correspondent says; Miss
Nellie Arthur rides an Indian pony with
a history. While the President was on
his way to the Yellowstone Park with
General Sheridan last Summer, he held a
council with the Shoshone Indians near
Washable, and gave them a number of
presents. The chief, Sharp Nose, in re
turn presented the President with this
pony, which was sent back to Cheyenne
with the military company that escorted
the Presidents party, and shipped from
there to Washington. 1t is an odd-look-
ing animal, being calico colored' like
those seen in circuses; and is covered
with white and brown spots. By careful
grooming the pony has been made quite
presentable and when it is trained to har-
ness Miss Nellie will use it in the dog
cart as well as under the saddle,

THE CONTEST ENDED.

Work to be Resumed to-day--A
Street Parade Last Night.

Shortly before 6 O'Clock last evening
word was received in this city that the re-
cent strike of the Union Pacific employees
had been terminated. An investigation
resulted in the information that a tele-
graph message had been received from the
committee Of strikers, who went to Omaha
from Denver, giving the men here ~instrucc-
tons to go to work to-day. 1t was also
learned that the demands of the strikers
have been granted and that the men re-
sumo work at the former wages. The re-
duction at Ellis, Kan. which participa-
ted the strike is countermanded, the dis
charged men at Denver are r~einstated, and
other matters are satisfactorily arranged
Later the following dispatch in eonirma-
ton of the above was received from
Omaha.
OMAHA, August l5.-The committee
of Union Pacific shopmen who have been
on a strike arrived here to-day and had a
conference with General Manager s.. H.

arose from a reduction of wages in the

From the Omaha Herald.
The first train of cattle for the new
stock yards at South Omaha arrived yes
terday. 1t consisted of twenty-five cans of
S-year-old Texans from Major Wolcott' )
VALLEY Ranch, near Deer Creek, Wyo-
ming, and they were in very fair condi-
ton after the long ride oyer the Union
Pacific from Medicine Bow where they
were loaded. These cattle, about 525
head in all, have been ranging on the
Valley ranch for two years, and will aver
age 1850 pounds. 1t was Major VOL
colts intention to dispose of them here,
but the buyers are not quite ready to be
gin operations, and he will forward the
entire lot to Chicago to-day. The cattle
were uloaded, fed and watered and given
a days rest in the yards, which will be of
material advantage in sustaining their
present good average during the haul to
Chicago.

Sketches of Travel.
BY T. A. HEAD.

On Friday, the 9th of September,
we obtained leave of absence from the
schoolrOom to be gone one week. We
took the cars on Friday evening for
Nashville, where we waited till the 9Th,
when we took the cars on the North
western road for Martin. Daylight
found us travelling through thinly in
habited and rather poor section of coun-
try. The corn crop did not appear to
be fourishing. The fields weressmall
and the crops looked green and cheer,
full, yet as a corn belt we did not con.
slider that particular portion a success.
We passed Mckenzie and Dresden and
passed through some places where the
corn crops looked well. After crossing
the Kentucky line we passed through
a splendid farming country. Large
and heavy crops of corn and wheat
could be seen on each side of the road,
and the broad acres of clover showed
evidence of thrift and prosperity.

While there is some Improvement in
wheat in the western markets, as yet
there is no perceptible change in the
local market. There is no demand for
wheat in the South except at very low
prices.
No change in corn. The Chicago
gamblers one day have it up and the
next down. 1t was as high as $1.00,
one day this week, and the next down
to 56c. There is SO much gambling
in grain that it is difficult to tell what
the legitimate and ruling price is. 4,
Dried fruit is about the same as q
week ago. The very low price has
checked not only the movement, but
the process of drying. We hear it
said that much fruit that was intend
ed to be evaporated will go into the
still tubs and be made into brandy.
We do not anticipate much change in
prices until later in the season when
the consumptive demand begins.

erect large two story brick building,
which was properly furnished with. all
the appliances necessary for a first
class school, The school increased
rapidly, and was known as Ewing
High School. 1t received patronage
from all the different counties of South
ern Illinois, aud from Kentucky and
Missouri. In 1874, the school was in
corporated under a Board of Trustees,
and chartered as Ewing College. At
this time, one hundred and ffty>one
students matriculated, and the Institu-
ton employed FIVE teachers in the Lit
erary Department, with full corps
of teachers in the departments of
music and fine arls. The first gradua>
ting class numbered six Alumni who
received their degrees in the year 1874
during our stay at the Institution. In
1876, Prof. Washburn resigned the
Presidency of the college and took
charge of a school in Texas. The
college was then placed in charge of
Prof. Patton, who held the position
for few years, when another change
was made, and finally Prof. Wash>
burn was solicited to return to its Press
idency, and accepting the call as presi-
dent of the college, he resumed his la
bors in 1880, and has continued in
charge up to the present time. An
other large Two story building has been
added to the original structure, and
the school is extensively patronized
from Illinois and neighboring States.
Quite a town has sprung up around
the college within the las ten years. A
large number Of neat, tasty residences,
a nice hotel, and several business houses
have been erected since our sojourn at
the place. The school brings a con-
siderable amount of money to the To-
cality, and aside from the superior ed
ucational advantages of the Institution,
it has been the means of circulating
thousands of dollars about the place
annually and giving forcible impetus
to business enterprises. Prof. Wash
burn is now over fifty years of age,
and has devoted the energies of his life
to cause of education. As an educa
tor, be has had large experience, and
his labors have been crowned at all
times with the best of success. He j;
a minister of the Primitive Baptist
Church, and as minister, he is be
loved and respected by his church anC
all who know him. He graduated a
Burnett College number of years ago
and is well known to many Of the PEG
