WANT BETTER MAIL FACILITIES.
me PEOPLE ofHorse shoe Making an Eff
fort I'm This Direction.

a vigorous movement has been inau-
gurated by the people living on Horse
Shoe to receive proper mail facilities.
There are from $50 to 300 people con-
cerned in the movement. Horse Shoe
lies nearly midway between Bordeaux and
Fort Fetterman, forty-five miles from the
former place and forty-two from the lat
ter. The principal portion of their mail,
which is quite heavy on account of the
nrmber of newspapers subscribed for, is
received at Bordeaux. Owing
to the lack of mail facilities
1t frequently collects until there
Is nearly a wagon load of one kind or
another of mailable or express matter. A
gentleman from that region was in the
city yesterday. He said There is get
ing to be quite a large population not only
on Horse Shoe, but ON the Cottonwood
and La Bonti and all the country inter
vening. 1t is nothing less han an out
rage that the mail route which was a con-
venience to so many people should be
discontinued. Those who have hereto
fore had the contracts for delivering the
mails did not know the country, and
always bid too little. We have only sus-
picions as to how the route was discon-
tinued. However, we are getting up a
big petition to be sent to Washington,
and will bring all possible influence to
bear to have the evil remedied."

A THIEF.
Hc Breaks Open a stable and Escapes
With Considerable Property.

Night before last Mr.. Frank Waldro,
living down the Crow creek bottom, who
had been up town started home. When
he arrived zeal his home he thought he
heard some one walking across the barn
floor in which his horse, a very fine young
one, was tied. He went to examine. 1t
t~ranspired thas it was nothing but his
horse trampling across the floor, having
got loose some way. Mr.. Waldro retied
him and went to his house and to bed.
In the morning when he awoke he natur-
ally thought OF his horse. He vent i'm
mediately to the barn aud was most pro-
foundry astonishcd to find that the barn
door, which he had locked securely, had
broken open He discovered that not
only was his horse gone but also his sad
die, bride, halter and some blankets.
Emerging from the barn he discovered
that the outdoor entrance to his cellar had
also been disturbed, and some provisions
in the shape of ham, canned goods and
bread taken. Traces of the thief around
the barn and house were still very distinct
as well as a trail leading northward to-
ward the railroad track. This he followed
until he came to the track and here it be-
came so indistinct that he lostit altogether.
The matter was reported to the Sheriff
who set about trying to obtain a clue. Re-
wards have been offered for both the
horse and thief.

The sufferer showed signs of sinking

RIDING oNAwAGoN TONGUE.
A Drivers PerIIous P~redicament with
Runaway Team.

c. S. Wheeler, the driver for Calland,
Merrill & Co., while driving toward the
new building of the Warren Mercantile
Company, yesterday afternoon, attempted
to make a rather sharp turn. The box of
the wagon is rather peculiarly swung, and
was thrown out of balance and against the
rear end of the horses. As the animals
leaped forward Wheeler was thrown
IN the tongue Of the wagon and
found himself in a position where he could
do nothing to check the speed of the
horses. A violent lurch of the wagon
finally pitched him into the street. He
alighted on his head and sustained a con-
fused face and badly famed wrist in con-
sequence. Wheeler maintained his hold
on the reins until his team collided with a
milk wagon. How he escaped further in
Jury is a mystery. On Eddy street the
runaway team collided with a lamp post
and were there stopped.

1t is known to many that a cement
walk has been put down on the west and
south sides of the Methodist Episcopal
church lots. The walk on the west side
Ransom street,, was put down by the
authority of the church, Mrs. j. W.
Snyder and Mrs. 7. H. Durbin, accom-
panied by w. c. Coffee, solicited sub
scriptions for the same. The walk on the
south side eighteenth street,, was put
down entirely independent of the church.
Messrs. D. Fisk and Hibbard. on their
own responsibility solicited the subscrip-
tons and put down the walk.
The above is given to the public as an
explanation why there have been two or
moro subscription papers circulated for
the purpose of laying a walk around the
Methodist Episcopal church.

FUN AT A
How 1t Cost Dearly To win IA Cheap
Watch.

Early yesterday morning Lawyer Don
zelmann had some legal business brought
to him which required prompt attention
and the services of a Justice of the Peace.
Starting down town he awoke Judge Lee,
who lives neal the Attorneys place,
and took him along TO the office.
The papers that were made out
contained a bond which had to be signed
by some person as surity. As Mr.. Jacques
Braun was known to the person who was
having the business done, that individual,
accompanied by Mr.. Donzelmann and
Judge Lee, repaired to Mr.. Braun's place
of business, which was still open. Here
they found quite a party assembled, and
among Others a man named Allen, who
had a watch which he desired to rattle off.
The chances were all taken when the
three arrived except two at the rate of 81
apiece. Mr.. Donzelman and Judge Lee
took the two chances. Mr.. Donzelman
won the watch, but at once put it up at
auction on consideration that the purchas-
ere should set up the cigars for the house.
The bids IN the watch finally run to $l2.
This watch was handed overto a young
man present who thought he had a bar
gain. Beer flowed freely for a time at the
expense Of the fortunate purchaser. The
young man proclaimed his good luck ev-
erywhere. Sometime yesterday Revisited
Zehner, Jackson & Buechner's to find out
how much he really made by paying $40
for the watch. When he was told that
the watch itself was worth exactly So. 60
the young mar became 50 weak that
friends were obliged to lead him home.

Detective JEFF Carr received a letter a
day or two ago from Sheriff Dana,
of Colorado Springs, requesting him to be
on the lookout for J. A. bearing, who
Travelled under various aliases and was a
successful hotel beat and confidence man.
Upon the receipt of the letter Carr visited
several hotels, and found that "a. Dear,

the day before at the Inter Ocean. Dear,
ing had disappeared, however, and,
as usual, without going through the for
mality of paying for a days board. He
has probably left the city for he can

THE WORST OF THE GAME.
A Row Which Resulted Disasterously t
the Provoker.

Quite an encounter occurred at one OF
the saloons of the city yesterday, which,
although it was kept pretty quiet, never
theless got noised about a trihe. 1t seems
that a certain contractor had taken a con-
tract to build an addition to the main
building in which the saloon was kept, at
least he was to have the contract for doing
all Of the work providing he laid a proper
foundation, and done that part of the
work well. The contractor done the
foundation work, but it was claimed that
he did not do it well and the owner of the
building would not permit him to do the
remainder of the work. This did not suit
the contractor, and on yesterday when
Frank Myers, who represented the owner
of the building, came round to the saloon
to see about the contract work,
the contractor was present, and when
Myers started to go out he called him a
pretty bad name. Turning back, Myers
wanted to know what was the matter with
him, and inquired of the contractor if he
Myers owed him anything: To which
the reply was that he dii, and that u lien
wouid be put upon the building. Myers
at once drew from his pocket receipt in
full for all the labor that had been done
on the building, and asked the contractor
what he thought of that. The contractor
replied by again calling him a - of a
- and at the same time made for
Myers and attempted to hit him. Myers,
however, although temporarily crippled
with a lame foot, responded in grand
style, and before he got throgh, partially
disabled as he was, gave the contractor a
merciless drubbinc.
