A PRoTRAcrED PURSUIT..
Officer smaIIey sun Oh the Track of
James Sherrod.

1t will be remembered that some days
ago mention was made in THE LEADER
of the fact that Mr.. V. Baker, had sold
to one James Sherrod a team of horses,
that Sherrod had left these foot hills of
prosperity without paying for the animals
and that Officer Smalley, as a Deputy
Sheriff, had started in pursuit for the pur-
pose Of serving the papers in acivil action
which had been commenced against the
said Sherrod.
No word has been received from Mr..
Smalley for several days but at last ac-
counts he was in the vicinity of Hutton's
ranch. 1t seems that n few days
after he bought the team Sherrod
was cutting hay at a place only six miles
from the city, and it was supposed that
he could be found there at any time. But
Sherrod sherried and took five days start
of the officers. Mr.. Smalley travelled by
stage on the regular roads until he struck
a good trail when, being familiar with the
country, he took a short cut on horseback,
and is now still on the chase. Sherrod
has a man and a boy with him, and while
SIN lley has no authority TO brnE the men
back, he viii probable do SO. To quote
his own language, I'm catch en- or I'll
emigrate back to old Missouri.

4 rrsHfSc ExpEKIEAcE.
The Pleasures and Periis of Following
the Finny Tribes Up the Platte.

From the Denver News. -.lt
Speaking about fishing, said Colonel
John Harris, ex-superintendent of the
Circle road, last evening, to a Nelcs re-
porter, reminds me of a little episode.
1t is only an episode but it came near be-
ing more than an epistde for me. You
see, George Chase, the engineer, and my
self have just returned from a weeks
junt up on the Platte, near where Goose
creek empties into the river. The water
rushes down the narrow defle like blazes
at this place audit would be almost GER
tain death for a man to tackle the waters.
The other day Geo.ge and l were walking
down the stream looking for a good trout
hole. We thought we spied one down
the stream, but there was a
great bluff that seemed 10
impede our progress. But we assembled
it, and on looking saw that it was fully
400 feet high, with almost perpendicular
walls, while at the edge of the lower pari
it enclosed about fbrty feet square of level
barren rock, and almost on a level with
the water of the river. Inside of hat en-
closure was q Texas steer. From the looks
of him it is fair to presume that he had
been living there for about two weeks and
had subsisted on a diet of water and wood.
He must have gotten into the stream
above and drifted down, and had evident
Ey remained there from a fear of tacklinp
the torrent, as the rocks run down to tn,
river side. You know that | am a very
tender hearted man, and ! consequent,
exerted myself in behalf of the steer. NJ!
first move was to Chamber over the rock
and get into the enclosure with a view Of
diving him into the stream. Upon seeinI
me at first he ran into a far away corner
and trembled Ike a frightened child, and
tried to escape up the ragged rocky ribs Of
the retreat. This gave me confidence and,
although l never had occasion to become
familiar with the peculiar peculiarities OF
the Texas steer, l picked up Il small stick
and proceeded toward him. For some
reason or other the nearer l approached
him the more pugilistic he became. Fin
ally he dropped his head and began pzwF
ing the cruel stones. l talked kindly II
him, but be didn't seem to like my racket.
Finally he started. So did L 1t was a
short race, but very lively. We went
around that arena in a very animated
manner. Finally | slipped, when that
Texas steer thrust a horn into the seat OF
my pants aud threw me onto a rock in he
middle of the stream about forty feet from
where I had fallen, and where the angry
waters hshed themselves into fretful

4 Little Romance,

The Washington Stor has the follow.
ing account Of . romantic marriage:
LAST evening the neat little Episcopal
church, South Washington. was filed
to overflowing to witness the wedding
of Mr.. Peter McCslmon. of the provinces
of Manitoba, and Miss Lizzie A. Gabriel,
of this city. There is little romance
connected with these parties. Tho
groom lives, as stated, in the province
Of Manitoba, where the bride has mar
ried sister living. Through the sister
the groom. about four years ago, heard
of Miss Gabriel, and a correspondence
was commenced, during which. not
withstanding they had never seen each
other, their feelings toward each other
became more than simply friendly. The
hearts of the writer's glowed with love.
Portraits were exchanged, and minute
descriptions were given Of each other.
The result was that few months ago
they became engaged to be married, on
condition that there was NO change OF
feeling after personal interview. The
young lady in the meantime made prep
arations to take leave of absence.
The groom about the first of the month
arrived here. Being desirous Of seeing
the lady. he wrote q note to her, which
she failed to receive until Monday OF
last week. when she promptly sent him
directions to find her place of residence
on Missouri avenue, and he called that
evening. The chains of love. woven
through the art of the mails, were moro
firmly riveted st this meeting. Tho
young glady's friends we're highly pleased
with the gentleman. The result was
that tho couple concluded that it was
useless to wait longer, snd preparations
were at once made for the wedding.
which took place last evening. While
the ceremony was being performed,
some mischievous boys tied a string os
tin cans under the carriage, and such
din was made as they drove away that
the horses we're badly frightened, and
it was with difficulty thst they were re-
strained.

This money, of course, was in.

votes.
How many of the hard working
Republicans will get a penny?
Senator Butin may deny that
he has the Doodle. Elector Frank
Wheeler will make PROMISES
But if the boys don't get their
"whack" it Is their fault, not ours.
We adise the Republicans that
$4,000 is already here in the
hands of Wheeler and Butin for
Republican campaign purposes.
If you boys who work for the
ticket don't get your share, it is
because Wheeler and Butin wont
let 60, or don't think you de-

A large delegation of miners

A famous and favorite kind of sport,
especially when we had been living il
camp for some time in summer, or were
established in winter quarters, was what
was known as ''raidiny the suffer-"
The suffers establishment was large
wall tent. which was usually pitched on
the side of the camp farthest away from
the ColonePs quarters. 1t was. there
lore. in solnewhatexposed and tempt
ing position. Whenever it was thought
we'll to raid him, the men of his own
regiment would make to the men of
some neighboring regiment . PROPOSE
ton in some such terms as this:
''YOu fellows come over here some
night and raid our sGt.er, and we'll
come over to your camp some night
and raid yours. Will you do it?'
This courteous offer of friendly
Offices was usually agreed to; and great
was the sport which often resulted. For,
when all was duly arranged and made
ready, on dark night when the surler
was sleeping soundly in his tent, skir-
mlsh line from the neighboring regi-
ment would cautiously pick its way
iown the hill and through the brush,
and silently surround the tent. One
party, creeping close in by the wall of
the lent, would loosen the ropes and re-
move them from the stakes on one side,
while another party on the other side,
at given signal, would pull the whole
concern down over the suffers head.
And then would arise yel!s and cheers
for few moments, followed by i'm
medlate silence, as the raiding party
would steal quietly away.
Did they steal his goods? Very sell
dom. For soldiers were not thieves, and
plunder was not the Object, but only
fun. Why did not the officers punish
the men for doing this? Well, some
times they did. But sometimes the
officers believed the sutler to De exor.
bitant in his charges and oppressive to
the men, and cared little how soon he
was cleared out and sent a-packine;
and therefore they enjoyed the sport
quite as we'll as the men. and often imi-
lated Nelson's example when he put his
blind eye to the telescope. and declared
he did not see the signal to cease firing.
They winked at the frolic, and came on
lhe scene usually in ample time to con-
iole with the sutler. but quite too late
o do him any service.-Septem6er st
