A BLOODY ARGUMENT.
Two Young Men Have Two Battles
oYer a Trivial Matter.

Early yesterday afternoon q large crowd
gathered at the corner of Ferguson and
Seventeenth streets. That something ex-
citing had occurred was quite evident,
and men and boys ran from all directions.
soon swelling the crowd to a size some
what disproportioned to the magnitude of
the bloody affair-'twas from the nose
which had created the excitement. But
the crowd was not to be robbed of the
coveted excitement. and each and every
man or boy talked at one and the same
time, all asking questions or telling what
they knew Of the sensation. Just when
the crowd became 50 large that nobody
seemed to be able to give the slightest
reason for the gathering, a man elbowed
his way from the yotex Of the confusion,
mounted a horse, and rode away at a
gallop with both feet sticking out in front
Of the horses shoulders, like a boy on a
rocking horse who is trying to believe that
he is travelling at break neck speed. The
crowd then began to dispense and the facts
were ascertained.
1t seems that Mr.. Harry Potter and a
fellow named johnson had a dispute
about a bride. The matter was thorough
ly trivial, but johnson did not appear to
possess the required sense necessary to an
understanding of the situation. High
words and pet anne were INDUCED in,
and the air became blue in the immediate
vicinity. Mr.. Potter stood that sort of
thing for a few moments and then he
denied the allegations and de6ed the al.
liCator."
Bystander interferred and dragged
johnson from beneath Potter's wind mill
waving arms. But for a brief moment
the nen clawed away at each much after
the style Of ye combative boy of few years
and little knowledge of the Art" of
which Sullivan is the patron saint. After
being rescued johnson mounted his bob
tailed steed and rode away.
Some time after the above interesting
ARRAY Mr.. Potter was riding with a friend
when they met johnson neal the Pump
house johnson hadn't got licked as
thoroughly AS he desired and so he again
began hostilities. He was better treated
this time and bad it not been for the
interference of peace-makers he would
have been able to boast to-day of achiev-
ing a severe drubbing.
johnson complained in Justice Lees
court that Potter had assaulted him. Mr..
Potter said he was willing to pay sI3 for
doing so and paid that sun. After the
occurrence at the Pump house Mr.. Potter
Just handed the compliment back to John
son. Justice Lee said his bill was sl3
too, but johnson was short. So it came
to pass that his horse was put in the
pound as security and he went forth to
rustic. Having paid the fine he regained
his steed ofthe abbreviated caudal append
age and rode away with all of the grace
of a tenderfoot on board of the hurricane
deck of bucking mule.

Laramie Boomerang.
Professor Faville, State Veterinarian
of Colorado, says that Texas fever, dry
murrain, bloody murrain and spleenic
fever are all names for one and the same
disease. Spleenic fever, however, he
says, is the right one.
Information was received here yesterday
that on Sunday a stock train was run
over the Northwestern road, from Coun
Gil Bluffs to Clinton, in fifteen hours and
a half, the distance being s62 miles. This
is stated to be the fastest time on record
for a stock train. The cattle are said to
have stood the run well, no evidences Of
any injurious effects of the rapid run be.
ing apparent.

There seems to be a slight conflict of
opinion regarding the magnitude of the
cattle shipments this year. In 1882 there
were l57, 900 head of beef cattle shipped
from this Territory. Last year the low
prices offered but little inducement for the
stockmen to clean their ranges, and the
shipments dropped to ll7,00o head.
Estimating the number of beef sent to
market this year upon the legitimate basis
of increase, the shipments should certain
ly exceed those made two years ago, and
when the number marketed last year are
also considered, 1t would seem that nearly
two hundred thousand beeves, worth a
trifie over four million dollars, should be
sent from the Wyoming ranges this year.
Yet. in spite of the above facts, it is the
opinion of many who are closely watching
the progress of the business this year, that
the shipments will be no larger than those
Of 1883. No satisfactory reasons are given
for the statement, but it is asserted as one
of the signs of the times. The fever
scare may be a factor, although it would
seem that it should not be an important
one. THE LEADER will make a careful
investigation and will endeayor to ascer-
tain the opinions of leading stockmen of
the Territory upon the subject.

A Rumpns at RawlIns.

From the Laramie Boomerane.
Conductor Vermillion informs us that a
lot Of Shoshone Indians, who came into
Rawlins after supplies, got on a big
drunk, and created a good deal of noise.
Early Monday morning one was discover
ed e%ndeavoring to force an entrance to q
house. An officer called to the savage,
when the latter advanced in a threaten
ing manner, and the officer opened fire on
him, shooting five times. The Indian
drew his gun about as quickly as the
officer, and began blazing away. When
the smoke cleared away il was discovered
that the officer was unhurt and that the
savage had received a bullet through one
leg. Another Indian was making him.
self conspicuous, and both were lodged in
jail. There were about one hundred and
fifty Of these savages encamped near the
town, and the citizens feared trouble. A
large force Of special police was put on tc
prevent any demonstration.

the State Fair will be divided between
amusement, indignation and contempt nj
the Domestics puerilc attempt to cheaper
or discredit our almost clean sweep Of MI
the honors. The unfounded insinuation
that their defeat was occasioncd by under.
hand measures on part OF their com.
petItors, is a reflection upon the judgment
and honesty Of the State Fair officers and
the excellent ladies' OF the awarding com.
mittce, that can only result in the merited
contempt ofall good people.
We again state, emphatically, that only
five tirst premiums were given on sewing

ccived four Of them. The Domestic's 'ten
or twelve premiums" were, with one ex-
ccption, given oil fancy woodwork, fancy
embroidery, and other attachment work,
OF little, iiany, practical utility or worth to
families.
When the Singer enters for premiums it
is always on sewing machines, and we al.
ways get them. In conclusion the public
will bear out our assertion that we have
never wearicd it with any Sewing ma.

after this notice, be now induced 10 do SO
