a few DAYS, or until the bridegroom gets
better. This event will be celebrated by
an elegant supper at the residence of the

The Rainfall the Heaviest LIVER Known
Great Damage.

GALVESTON, May 22.-Specials TO the
Neans from ali points say the recent rain
fall was one of the heaviest ever known in
Texas In a portion of the area it has
never been surpassed within the history
of the State. The belt extends from Red
river to the gulf, over 500 miles north and
south, and from the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas line westward, go miles. The damage
to the agricultural interest is very great,
while the damage to railroads is OF the
most serious character. All railroads
within the storm belt have practically
closed operations.

A Romantic Career.

Rev. sherman $. Coolidge, who has
been stopping at the Railroad Hotel for a
day or two, has quite a romantic history.
In the earlier days Of Wyoming he was
rescued from the Grow Indians by whom
he was captured and was taken under the
care of Lieutenant and Mrs. Coolidge, Of
Fort Laramie. At first he was set to work
as a servant, but the young Arapahoe
soon demonstrates that he had more than
the ordinary amount of intelligence and
was sent to school. His progress was
rapid and he soon afterwards determined
to become a missionary TO the Indian
tribes of the northwest. He passed
through the theological school with credit
and Immediately entered upon his mis-
sionery labors, He will leave this morning
for Fort Laramie where he will pay a
short visit to Lieutenant aud Mrs. Cool
idge, and her 20 to the Shoshone reser
vation where he will again resume his

Last evening a boy named Thomas
Gardner, while sleeping at Newman's
corral on Seventeenth street, was robbed
of some five or six dollars by a stranger
who shared his bunk. Gardner, who has
worked at Weston's ranch, near Fort
Laramie, arrived from Denver the other
day. This morning he intended to take
the stage for Laramie and had barely
money enough to pay his fare. At the
stables last night a strange shared his blan-
kets, and when the boy was asleep robbed
him of the money. Gardner, who is a
bright little fellow about thirteen years
old, awoke about 10 O'Clock, discovered
that his companion had disappeared, and
also ascertained that the theft had been
committed, At first he was heart-broken.
but he was advised to inform the police,
and, together with Captain Smith, he
started out on a search for the robber.
The latter had visited several houses in
Chicago and n good trail was found. He
will doubtless be secured to-day.

WASHINGTON, August 20. Acting
Land Commissioner Harrison says the
land office has not enough force to
straighten u all the fraudulent entries
and surveys and eject Illegal settlers. The
department has only about twenty-five
agents, or about one to every four land
districts. Now" continued Harrison,
the Territory of Wyoming is divided into
two land districts. That gives an idea of
the size of a district. There ought to lie
at least one agent to each district, and
her he would have his hands full
Harrison says Congress has beenrepeat-
edly asked for an increase of force, but
has never granted it, and that with its
present force the department cannot make
much Roadway in rectifying wrongs and
frauds. The only case yet tried involving
the fencing Of public land without author
ity has been decided in favor of the gov
eminent. Other cases are pending.
There is one in Colorado against the
Prairie Cattle Company, said Harrison,
and the surveying alone will cost the
government several thousand dollars. We
have to identify the land and that must be
done by resurveying.
Commissioner Harrison added that the
reports of fraudulent entries and illegal
fencing had not been exaggerated, and
whenever Congress sees fit to provide
means to correct these abuses it will be
done. Chief Clerk Lockwood, of the In
terror Department, says the area of good
lands is being steadily reduced, and the
department is DESTROYS of preventing the
seizure of large tracts, but Congress has
not responded to appeals for Legislation to
enable it to be done.

In Two Days.

Mr.. James,H. Burnham. or Uncle
Jimmy, - rs he is generally called, arrived
in the city yesterday from an INDICATED
spot in the region of North Park, where
he has been prospecting and mining for
some time. Learning that Uncle
Jimmy had struck it rich a reporter
started out last evening with the purpose
of obtaining from him whatever Informal
ton he might be disposed to give regard
ing his lucky find. Uncle Jimmy" was
found near the Simmons House, and was
hailed by the reporter with the salutation,
Il hear you have struck it rich. Uncle
Jimmy
You betcher life, James Ii. Burnham

continuing, he said:
You see, | Travelled over the country

solved to visit it again. l won't tell just
where it is, but this much l will say: The
poorest day 1 had l PANIED out 81 and

grup to-day, but I want to wait and see
Mr.. A. II. Swan. I used to work for
him, you know. | want to kinder fix up
some business matters, when l will go
back and open up the mine.
During the conversation with "Uncle
Jimmy it was learned that he had killed
three elk just before he left his camp for
Cheyenne These he placed where his
dogs could have access to them and leav-
ing them to guard the camp he started
for this city. Uncle Jimmy has A
partner named Towne associated with
him, but claims to W the mine himself.
The gold obtained was PANIED out with
out the use of a rocker or a %sluice, or a
Tom-tom or any appliance but a pan.
Uncle Jimmy is an old forty-niner, and
his experience in mining in California
gives weight to his Judgment, although it
may also be a factor in his enthusiasm.
