Has the Earth a Ring3

There are all kinds of rings in the
business and political world, but the
greatest ring of all is the one which
some astronomers say is forming out
side the atmosphere of the earth.
There arc people who gravely maintain
that the extraordinary sunsets and sum
rises which have been noticed for
months are due to the formation of a
ring or rings around our earth, similar
to those revealed with the telescope en-
circling the planet Saturn. No scientist
of note has dared, as yet, to seriously
consider this theory, but these sunsets
are, nevertheless, as great a mystery as
ever. That they are due to moisture in
the atmosphere, or to dust hurled up
into the air at the volcanic eruptions
last summer in Java, is discredited.
A lady has ventured the surmise that
the red sunsets are due to an effort on
the part of the sui to adjust itself to the
new standard time; but, o 'course, this
is a joke. 1t is clear that there are
more things in heaven and earth, unex-
planned, than are dreamed of, not only
by the philosophy but by the science of
modern times.-Demorest's Monthly.

The Kansas City Journal advises
young men ''to go into the woods and
shoot themselves rather than to marry
lazy and extravagant wives" But
there is no use in any young man doing
any such foolish thing when the land is
full of bright girls who are neither lazy
nor extravagant. 1t is the girls who
are to be pitied, not the young men.
There are to-day thousands of men who
have made just such foolish excuses.
And yet they every year squander more
money than they would spend in the
support of a home Chicago Inter- Ocean.

FAILED TO FIND HIM.
Arthur Chisholm, Who Robbed Pedrt
Martinez, Temporarily Escapes.

Deputy Sheriff Smalley returned yester-
day morning from Greeley whittier he
went in pursuit of the man who recently
drove away with the team and wagon of a
Mexican named Pedro Martinez.
1t will be remembered that Martinez
was on his way to this city from the
North when he picked up a man on the
road, and that after travelling some dis
lance Martinez decided to walk awhile,
for the purpose of getting warm, when
the stranger drove away with the horses
and wagon. The man who thus obtained
possession OF the outfit came to Cheyenne
and passed on in a southerly direction.
The officers had reasons for believing that
Greeley was his destination and therefore
Deputy Sheriff Smalley went to that place
with the intention of heading off the
fellow.
On the way to Greeley the train stopped
at all the section houses, where the men
were questioned, but no definite trail
could be obtained. The railroad is fenced
to Pierce station, where the man might
have changed his course, but the people
at that station were positive that no outfit
answering the description ofthe one stolen
from Martinez had passed that place.
Many ranchmen and cowboys were in
Greeley for holiday recreation when Mr..
Smalley arrived, but none of them had
seen the outfit nor had the thief appeared
in Greeley. 1t is possible that the man
passed through Simpson canyon and con-
tinued his journey in a southwesterly di-
rection. In that event he either went to
Fort Collins or is staying at some ranch.
An accurate description Of the thief has
been obtained and he has been identified
as a drunken, shiftless fellow named Ar
thur Chisholm. He has worked on the
ranch of William Thayer, and after steal
ing the team he passed one night at
Bard's ranch. MH. Bard knew him well
and gives a good description of the
horses. 1t is believed that Chisholm will
either stop at some road ranch, where he
will at once get drunk and where he will
continue in that condition as long as he
can obtain credit on the team, or that he
will sell the outfit and go on a prolonged
bebauch. In either event his return to
Cheyenne is quite probable. Informa-
ton of the theft and descriptions of the
man and the horses have been sent to the
various Sheriff and officers in the sur
rounding country and the effectual escape
Of the fellow is not considered probable.

THE DISTRICT COURT.
The Docket Rapidly Disposed of and The
Term Nearly Over.


Owing to the lapse of one term of the
District Court the docket for the Hogem-
Der term was an unusually large one.
When the term began it was computed
that it would continue into March, and
although a number of cases have been
added to the docket since that time il has
become apparent that computations of its
length, based upon past methods of trans
acting the business, would prove to be
inaccurate. The former delays in the
settlement of chancerY cases and other
civil business afforded no criterion, and
the announcement that the voluminous
business will have been transacted by the
end OF the first week in January will be
received with surprise.
The session yesterday was devoted to
the rendering of decisions and the argu-
ment of motions. In the case of H.. 8.
Tracey VS.. Charles Terry, Judgment was
given for the plaintiff for $67 with inter
est and the costs in the District Court and
the court below.
A Judgment for $40 and costs in favor
of the plaintiff was given in the case OF
Claus Seavers VS.. John f. Bailey.
Demurrers were argued in the cases of
the United States VS.. George R. Thomas
and NJ. Il. Post, George R. Thomas and
E. Maggie, and George r. Thomas and
A. H.. Swan.
Several cases were dismissed, and the
cases of H. S. Tracey vs.. Freel Bros. g,
Mcbride vs.. the Union Pacific, the United
States VS.. Charles w. Wright, and the
Territory VS.. John f. Halstead were con.
tinued for various reasons.

day, as it adjourned to 10 O'Clock Monday

A Pleasant Holiday Enjoyed BY the
Cheyenne People.

m
Christmas was more generally observed
in Cheyenne this year than hitherto has
been the custom. The day was a pleas.
ant one-just cold enough for Christmas
and yet not so cold that people were kept
within doors.
The first public event of the day was
the matinee at the Opera House by the
Dan Morris Sullivan Company. The at
tendance was large.
In the evening a ball was given by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
About three hundred tickets were sold.
Visitors came from Laramie City and
other places, and the attendance was SO
large that the hall afforded room fol-
only a portion of those present to dance
at the same time.
Services were held in the Episcopal and
St. Johns Catholic Churches, and in the
evening the Sunday School of the South
Side Chapel had a Christmas tree.
The skating Kinks were well ~patroniEed,
and in addition to the usual amusementa
a ball was given at the West Side rink.
Special dinners were served at the
hotels and restaurants.
Presents were universally exchanged,
but anything like a list of these cannot be
given. Any attempts to publish such q
list must necessarily be at once gro
tesque and in bad taste.
The day was passed pleasantly and was
one Of the most successful holidays ever
enjoyed in Cheyenne.

4 ROUGH TINKER.
The Fate Off Giant who Hungered for
Ofieial BIood.


Yesterday afternoon a man ofherculean
frame and ~beligerent disposition, a tinker
by occupation, went the streets
seeking whom he might devour. During
his gyrations he declared his preference
for the blood of a ''perlicemun" and
straightwaY he hied him to the City Hall
with the express purpose Of thrashing
some officer. When standing in front Of
the building he made a tragical declama-
ton expressive ofhis bloodthirsty mission.
Officer Nolan appeared on the scene and
for the purpose of narrowing up his soul
before he made him a mangled corpse, the
modern Goliah proceeded to tell the officer
what a picturesque remains he would be
made. Nolan at once caught the fellow
by the bosom of his collar and the nape Of
his trowsers and dumped him into the
hallway. Thence he was rustled into the
jail and when the latest bulletins were re-
ceiyed the fellow was kicking the iron door
and positively begging someone to throw
him a policeman to tear to pieces.
