Yesterday forenoon at 10 O'Clock. the
case Of the territory Tvs. Fred Nelson
was called up for a hearing before
Judge Fisher, County Attorney Baird
appearing for the territory and Messrs.
Fisher and Carroll for the defendant.
1t appeared, however. that the case, as
originally brought, could not be BUS
tanned as it charged a felony against
Nelson, whereas, nothing beyond a
misdemeanor could have been pro-
ceeded with. Therefore, IN motion
and direction Of the county attorney,
the case was dismissed, but a new war
rant was Immediately served on Mel
SON. In this new complaint which was
made before Judge Lee, the complaint
charges the defendant with falsely rep
resenting to Captain O'Brien that the
sum Of S1S Sc vas due to him as wages,
afteer he had assigned the same to G.
p. Organ, by which it was charged he
intended and designed to defraud Or
gan of hat amount. The defendant
was brought before Judge Lee, where
the defendant pleaded not guilty and
asked for a jury, but by agreement OF
counsel the case was postponed until
Saturday next, at 10 a. m, the defend.
ant in the meantime being released on
his own recognizance for 81 90.

There was a service Of song at the
Congregational church on Sunday
evening, which was very interesting
and largely attended. The choir sang
many of the finest selections of sacred
music to be found in the new Hymnal
OF that church, the best, perhaps, be-
ing that entitled Sound the Alarm"
The lady singers Of the choir were Miss
Carmichael, Mrs. Swick, and among
the male voices our reporter heard
those of Messrs. Bale aud Potter. There
were other gentlemen that sang with
them, but the dim eyes of sage brush
could not distinguish who they were.
Miss Quinby presided at the organ.

Wolves ON the Range.

On Monday last, In daylight, q pack
OF large timber wolves came down upon
the cattle herd Of s. Knoder, fifteen
miles from Evanston, on Bear river,
and stampeded the herd. One large
bull got stuck in a drift, and turned
and fought the wolves the best he could
until the men from the ranch saw the
situation and came to his assistance,
when the wolves left. They injured
four head of yearlings badly, one OF
which 1t is thought will die.-Evanston

uiHh,

After Discovered Fncts About Cor
nish.
Besides the thrilling Incidents pub
lished in Sundays issue of the LEADER
regarding the celebrated Cornish case,
some additional and highly sensational
points, hitherto ~undeveloped, have come
to the light OF day, and they will I'M
questionably be read with great avidity
by those who have already taken a deep
interest In this peculiar Ease of dark
and damning deeds. From soma of the
inmates Of the jail 1t is learned hat the
sin-dyed eulprit had admitted to them
on several occasions that he had killed
Mrs. Curliss, and that the deed was
most heartlessly perpetrated upon this
elderly lady whilst he was seeking to
rape her person. Furthermore, in a
spirit Of %nonchalant braggadocio, Cor
nish said that IL he went to the peni-
Tertiary he would not remain there
long. 1t now appears that this blood
stained reprobate had been convicted
in Minnesota for the heinous crime OF
rape, and q sentence Of Ave years. i'm
prisonment in the ~penitentiary at
saltwater followed; but before the ex-
piration Of his term a pardon was
granted.
In the recent trial the theory Of rob-
berry in connection with the ~perpetra-
ton of the murder was advanced by
the prosecution, but later facts, as
herein set forth, indicate that the cul-
prit's unbridled lust led him to deprive
an innocent oma Of her life. The
character of the convict thus plainly
appearing, it is likely that his ~jailors
will keep a close watch upon his move
ments within the confines Of the Joliet
~penitentiary.

n~EQUIKsCAT IN PACE.
Ob%sequies OF mr.. Joha ..
Meyer, ut the Methodist
Church.

The funeral services of the late Mr..
John s. Meyer, who died at the ranch
OF his sons, West and Lon Meyer, on
Thursday last, took place at the Meth
odist church at 1 O'Clock p. m. on Sun
day.
The remains Of Mr.. Meyer had been
brought to this city the day before and
taken to the Simmons house, where
they remained until the hour appointed
for the funeral, from whence the pro-
cession moved to the Methodist church.
The pail bearers were Judge White
head, Judge Lee, H. Housman, r.
Schweickert, Stephen Bon and A.
Adamsky, and the services at the church
were conducted by the Rev. DR.. Ed
ridge, the pastor.
The church was crowded to over
flowing, in fact the funeral was one Of
the most numerously attended that has
occurred in this city for a long time.
Mrs. Meyer, who was almost overcome
by the death Of her husband, had to be
assisted from the carriage, and also as
she entered the church she had to lean
on the arm Of her son, Mr.. S. L. Meyer,
and would apparently have fallen had
it not been for his supporting arm.
After the casket had been deposited
in the church, the choir sang that beau
tiful selection,
sHnE hlaat fha rf0bfnnna xvhap he 1gaa -
DR.. Eldrldge then arose and made
few feeling and Impressive remarks, but
did not speak from any particular text,
although he read at the beginning some
verses of scripture. The reverend gen.
tleman addressed himself principally 10
the mourning relatives Of the deceased,
and at the close Of his remarks made
a most affecting and solemn prayer,
which moved many in the congrega-
ton to tears. At the conclusion the
choir rendered that beautiful burial
hymn, the final verse OF which is as
follows:
SILENTLY the shades OF evening,
Gather round my lonely door,
Silently they bring before me,
Faces I shall see no more"
The hymn concluded, the casket was
opened and by direction of the pastor,
the large throng in attendance passed
up the center aisle and took a last look
at the Eremains Of the departed, and
filed back to their seats in silence.
When the family of the dead husband
and father approached the coffin for q
look for the last time at the face of him
who will be with them no more, a
most affecting scene occurred. The
aged widow, after standing by the side
Of the coffin for a considerable time,
supported by her son, as she was about
to leave the casket, raised her thin,
quivering hand upward, and exclaimed
with faltering voice, but with the
faith OF the true Christian, 18th.
Lord gave, and the Lord has taker
away" Many strong men were moved
to tears, and audible sobs were heard
in every part of the house.
At the conclusion Of the services the
casket was returned to the hearse, and
the procession moved slowly to thu
cemetery, where the remains were de
posted in their final receptacle, anC
the weary form of John Meyer was a
rest forever.

WHITE HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS.
Preparations for the Coming Presi-

Preparations for the Coming Presi-
dent-SOme Interesting Traces of
the HtssOric Past.
''Preparing for new President" is the way
White House a,tscho described the various
operations In progress IN the grounds, corrl
doris and halls OF the Executive Mansion 10 a
reporter who inquired about them to-day.
The painting OF tho ratings and gatewnys,
the substitution OF new lamps for old ones
over the entrances, and the sandpaporing and
securing OF the walls OF the Mansion are about
all that rs going on outside.
In the Interior the work Is only regarded as
"minor repairs" as no suite of apartments is
undergoing radical changes. But to an uu-
educated eye in such matters It would appear
that tho much coveted dwelling-plnce Is be-
ing pretty thoroughly renovated.
Tho Improvements in heating and drainage,
completed during the summer, have been
supplemented by the arrival of a small army
OF painters, calciminere, grainers and other
workmen, who have employed themselves
touching up the woodwork aud walls OF the
state apartments wherever last winters gal
ties have left their mark, and In scraplng the
walls OF the the main hall and stairway, and
starting In TO give woodwork, walls and rail
lngs new color.
6These doorways, said veteran Washing
tonian, who was lowering around this morn
ing, and seemed to know all about II, "have
been painted for every administration, but
havo never boon scraped and burned before as
they arc being now. Coat after coat Of
paint Is hero representing every administra-
lion since the house was built" Pausins to
watch the Horkmen scraping and blisterlng
the paint to remove It, he added In phllo-
sophie and meditative way:
"Why, II they'd KEEP on palntln' 'em, coat
after coat, they would q filled up the hull door
way. Look a.here, they got a inch deep o. paint
on 'em now, and there's the maple grainin' that
thoy had way back in '3i, an the Imitation wal
nut befo' that, an ye can see the paintin' back
for eighty years. Back to tho first paint thoy
ever put on, tho white paintins befo' my
day."
What tho old man said may not have been
true. No one in tho White House Gun recall
the appearance OF tho Railways much before
the war, but certain II IA that coat after coat OF
paint, from light TO dark aud back again from
dark 10 light, yielded to tho worlsmen's tooli
and sandpaper and flame and told the tale Of
ono administration after another.
The various Improvements and repairs VIII
be hastened TO completion and tho Executive
Mansion Will soon DO in condition for az
eventful season.
