AT the Congregational church for
years there has been kept up a series OF
what are termed young peoples meet
ings-the same being held regularly at
8 O'Clock every Sunday evening, and
before the regular services by the pastor
commences. These meetings were or
ganzed and have been kept up mainly
through the efforts of two young
ladies, Miss Estelle Bullock and Miss
Mary II. Saunders, and, although as
sisted of course, by many others who
have labored faithfully In this work,
yet, while others have come and gone,
faithful for a time, and then faltering
by the way, these young ladies, by their
untiring efforts and constancy In q
good cause, have made these meetings
a place of attraction for many a one In
this city who prefers to frequent of a
Sunday evening a place where a good
work Is being done toward lettering
the condition of mankind, than to
seek some place where, to say the
least, men are not made better by 80
doing. The exercises at these meetings
are always interesting and attractive, |
and you will always hear good singing
there. May these young ladies' never
weary in well doing.

On the 9Th day of January a fellow
by the name Of Fred. Nelson, who has
had heretofore some dealings in q bust
ness way with c. P. Organ, went to
that gentleman and represented that he
wanted the SUN of $50 immediately,
and as the Stockgrowers' bank was not
open, it being past business hours,
asked him to let him have that amount
for the time being, representing that he
had money In said bank.
Supposing that this was the case, and
that the man was all right, MI. Organ
let him have the desired amount, for
which he gave his check. For some
reason the check was not presented i'm
mediately, and when so presented 1t
turned out that Nelson did not have
any money in the Stockgrowers' bank
and did not have any there at the time
his check was drawn.
On yesterday complaint was made
before Judge Fisher and a warrant is
sued for the arrest of Nelson on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Officer Nolan arrested him
last evening at Dyer's hotel. His case
will come up at 10 O'Clock this morn

wyomIng's weather.

Northern Wyoming has certainly
been a fortunate and favored locality
up to this time during the present win
ter. Up to the LIST of January we had
comparatively no cold weather, even
the farmers continued ploughing until
nearly that time. The thermometer
barely reached zero, and when it did it
was only for a short time, we had but
few storms, and they were of short dur
alton. About the End or Bird OF Janu-
airy it commenced getting cold and the
mercury reached as low as 1872 below
zero OF the 9th inst, and the cold
weather continued several days when
it moderated, since which time zero
has not been reached, and the average
temperature has been about 10o above.
But little snow has fallen during the
winter, and at no time has there been
six inches of snow on the ground. We
have made numerous inquiries of
stockmen from different sections of
the country, and they all unite in say
ing that as yet no loss has occurred and
that the stock generally are in good
condition, and that SO far this has been
one of the most favorable winters ever
known for their business in northern
Wyoming.-Buffalo Echo.

the remarkable statement, which 1t
credits to the Cheyenne Sun, that be-
tween this place and Laramie city the
is stem and eleven feet deep on

mistake. Ten or twelve inches would
be nearer the truth.
Some people take it for granted that
editors, reporters, etc., must necessar-
lily be great enemies because they poke
fun at each other and say hard things
once in a while. This is a mistake.
They are a good deal like lawyers, who
will accuse each other of being liars

in court, and then go out ITO see a
