of Accident Insurance at a cost of s12, their

this matter ! respectfully recommend
that in place of ruling out any Of the
marksmen winning prizes in previous
years, that those for all subsequent con
tests be handicapped by addinga certain
number of points to the highest proceed
ing record, or by requiring them to shoot
at longer distances. and in case any prey
ious prizeman does not score the handi-
capped standard, that the prize be award
ed the next highest scorer.
earnestly recommend that the circular
targets be abolished and replaced by
elliptical ones with the longer axis up
right, so as to increase the value of line
shots-the most valuable ones in war.
Under the present system many shots
which would miss a man in action now
count just as much as one which would
kill him.

Last evening a man entered the store OF
Idleman Brothers with two boxes Of
cigars which he said he wouldself for 81.
In looking at the boxes Mr.. Abe Idleman
saw upon them the stamp of the Union
Mercantile Company, and suspecting they
had been stolen, he declined to purchase,
but told the man that "a house around
the corner might buy them" He in
structed one of the clerks to go with the
man to the store of the Union Mercantile
Company and there to sell the cigars and
give the fellow a dollar. The thief did
not suspect that he was being led into a
trap and went with the clerk. When
they entered the store of the Union Mer-
camille Company, he recognized the place,
and endeavored to slip the cigars on top
of a tier Of boxes. He failed to succeed

Ar cry.
The Rolling Mills Resume and a New
Tannery Bulding.

From the Boomerang.
Mr.. S. II. Kennedy has under way the
arrangements for establishing here a COM
plete tannery.
Mr. Kennedy, as is well known, has for
several years been running a small estab-
lishment of the kind across the river.
Here, however, his facilities were meagre
and his operations were confined exclu-
sively to curing and dressing the hides of
wild animals. Some time ago, however,
he became convinced hat a first class out
fit, suitable FOR tanning all kinds Of hides
and pelts would be a profitable investment
here.
The carpenters are already at work on
the building to be used for the purpose,
which will be situated on the switch be-
low the stock yards. 1t will be a large
and roomy structure, 24xs0 feet, and two
stories in height. Mr.. Kennedy will
place his new machinery in this building
and will also move over all the machinery
from his old %tannery, but his sheep dip
ping and shearing pens will remain where
they now are. The location of the new
building was chosen partly on account of
better shipping facilities, but more partic-
ularly because the city water supply could
be made available there.
Mr.. f. L. Scrymser was last week
called to Omaha to consult with the
Union Pacific authorities rs to the dispo-
sition to be made Of the rolling mills. He
has lust returned and, and informs us
that the lease of the rolling mills has been
offered him by the company on more IA
voaable terms than he had expected. The
mills will now be surely started up again
provided sufficient Western orders for
work can be obtained in advance to sat
isfy the company and the lessee that they
can be run at a ptoft. On this point,
however, Mr.. Scrymser expresses no
doubt, and he is already at work looking
up the necessary orders.
When these two important concerns are
in running order, work will be furnished
fr from eighty five to one hundred men.

Edward Butler, who was arrested Tues
day night for robbing a soldier at Dyer's
Hotel, and for stealing an overcoat from
the Western House, was brought before
Justice Fisher yesterday, by Officer Deit-
rick, who entered a charge of drunken
ness against him and also a charge Of car
rying concealed weapons. Buffers plea
was taken and he was remanded to jail.
The more serious charges of robbery will
be Investigated in a few days.
Warren Richardson, Jr., was before
Justice Lee yesterday in answer to a
charge of assault. 1t seems that a
drunken and abusive soldier created a
disturbance at the Tyoli and was elected.
While on the sidewalk outside of the
place, Richardson resented the abuse oil
the soldier, and by 50 doing violated the
letter of the law. A small fine was i'm.
posed by the Court.

Another Foxy Check Is Reported From
Salt Lake.

"
Recently The LEADER has had occasion
to relate the exploits of one George Fox.
who passed forged checks in this city and
also in Laramie City. 1t will be rcmem-
bered that Fox signed che name Of Dare
& Collins to all of the checks which have
been traced to him, but while he exhib.
tied a fondness for the nam OF Dare &
Collins while operating in this vicinity, 1t
was not supposed that he would still cling
to that signature after he had left Wyo-
ming Territory. A telegram received by
Dare & Collins last evening shows that
Fox went to Salt Lake. where he ut once
began operations. The message in ques-
ton came from the banking house of Nc
Cornick & Co. and was rs follows:
Dare & collins. Cheyenne
SALT LAKE, November lis check
for $50, signed by you and payable 10
Samuel Andrews, good? Answer.
McCoRNIcK Il Co.
Mr.. Dare promptly answered the dis
patch, pronounced the cheek unauthorized
and asked that the person presenting it
be arrested.
Nothing is definitely known regarding
the check and while it is possible that it
was taken to the bank in Salt Lake by
some innocent party, it is presumed that
Fox himself presented it. At any rate
his arrest will doubtless soon be affected,
and as three charges OF forgery can be
su~bstantiated against him, it is probable
that he will be a resident of Joliet for a
number Of years.

ALLEGED Perjury.
Inc Examination in the Case of
Isaac Bettelyoun.
Bound Over to The District Court
For Trial.
Marked %IIl-feeIinu Enuendered by
a Test Case.

ltegister and the Receiver of the Land
Office were engaged in taking testimony
in a matter known as the Houek- Bettel-
youn land contest case. The contest grew
out Of the efforts of parties at Fort Lara
ME TO prevent Isaac Bettelyom from oh
tanning a patent to certain public lands
upon which he had filed and made final
proof under the desert act.
The basis of the contest was that the
lands were not subject to entry under the
provisions of the desert act, being fertile
valleys and open to either homestead or
presumption. During the hearing of the
case it was alleged that Mr.. Be~ttelyoun
testified falsely regarding certain ma
terial facts An affidavit, alleging per
jury was sworn to by Isaac Hill, one Of
the parties really interested in the ease,
and upon his affidavit, Fred J. Stanton,
as United States Commissioners, issued a
warrant for B~ettelyoun's arrest. For
various reasons the preliminary hearing
was postponed from time to time, but
Yesterday morning testimony was taken
IN the matter by Mr. Stanton. j. A..
Riner, United States Attorney, appeared
for the Government, and MI. Campbell,
OF the iirm OF Bard x Campbell, for the
defendant.
The affidavit alleged that the perjury
consisted IN Mr.. B%ettelyOuns answers to
material questions in the case as follows:
Has the amount of water conveyed
upon the land IN any one season been suf-
ficlent TO irrigate the entire tract as to
render the same productive, and j ESQ
what crop or crops would such irrigation
producer
Answer-"There has been waterenough
running in the main ditch to irrigate it or
any portion thereof, but as the land was
not cleared off of the sagebrush l did not
consider it worth while to distribute the
water over the whole tract; hay, vege-
tables, such as are adapted to this
climate.
Has the whole tract been irrigated
and cultivated by you in n season.
Answer-Hlt has been irrigated, that is
water conducted on each legal subdivision
Of forty acres in 1888 and 1884. As to
cultivation, l don't know what would be
considered cultivation of hay ground. |
cultivated some hay gardens on this tract
in 1883 and 1884"
Upon the truth of the answers quoted
the examination conferred Yesterday.
A. Nj. Craft, a surveyor, testified re
garding the irrigation of each forty acres
of the land in contest by means of the
bitches on the land, and also described the
crops that had been, or could be, grown
thereon.
Isaac F. Hill testified that crops had
been grown on the land in 1883 and 1884
without water from the bitches, and ex-
planned the character and location of the
bitches in connection with their relation
to the waters of the Laramie river, from
which stream they must necessarily draw
their supply.
Messrs. Warren 5. Clouser, Joseph
Wild, I. L. Storey, A. D.. Holiday and
ID. h.. Donegan also testified as.to the char
acter ofthe crops and the extent M prac-
