''MOSE',
A Jail Bird Again lodged in His
EavOrite Retreat.

As stated in The LEADER yesterday
morning Nose Reeder, who has recently
been released from serving q term in the
penitentiary, wa arrested on Tuesday
afternoon for the crime of larceny, having
been charged with stealing q hat from
Mrs. Walkers millinery store. Yester-
day "Mose'..was brought up for a hear
ing before Judge Fisher. The crime
probably, under a strict construction of
the law, would have been burglary, but it
was thought best to put it in the shape of
petit larceny, as in that event the justice
would have final jurisdiction, while in the
other case 'Mose" might escape punish
ment altogether, for no one can tell at pres
ent when there will be a District Court ses-
sion and to hold him to wait trial for burg
larry when the grand jury might ignore
certain chances, when he could be dealt
with at once if the charge was made so as
to bring it within the jurisdiction of the
court. Accordingly Reeder was brought

THREATENED I@NUNDATIoN.
The Streets Flow with Water Causing
Considerable Alarm.

About 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
city was visited by another hail storm,
which eventually turned into a severe
thunder storm, and for hours the rain
poured down in torrents until the streets
in some parts of the city became flooded
with water. In the evening the City
Council set out to hold a meeting as a
board of equalization, but became so
alarmed at the serious aspect of affairs
that they gave it up, turned out with
others armed with picks and shovels and
went to work. 1t was greatly feared that
Notwithstanding the supposed protection
afforded the city by mean of the Talbot
ditch, there was to be a general inunda-
ton of the business portion of the city,
such as was experienced less than a year
ago. Crossings were torn up at Metre
gor's and other corners in the western
part of the city in order to allow the water
to pass along unimpeded. Notwithstand-
ing that the crossings was torn up at the
McGregOr corner, Seventeenth street
was one HasS Oh WdttT cleiT up 10
the Simmons house, and for the most
part, the sidewalk on the north side of the
street was under water. Among those
who worked with a pick and shovel until
along into the night, We're F. f. Warren,
Tim Dyer, A. G. McGregor and Harry
Ellis. Finally the threatened inundation
was avcTtcd, simply because the storm
abated, and no serious damage was done.
Crow creek was also on a boom again last
night.
A call at the Signal Service office devel-
oped the fact that from $50 until 9
o'clock, last evening, three quarters of an
inch of rain had fallen. Mr.. f. j.. Michan
said that the rainfall so far this month
amounted to four inches, which was more
han a quarter of an inch greater than
during the whole of the corresponding
month last year.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
Some Freaks of the Latter in Cheyenne
Some Years Ago.

so much thunder and lightning as VIC
are having just at the present time re-
minds us that in the Spring and Summer
of 1878 we also had a good deal of the
same kind of weather. During that sea-
son it rained for sixty-seven consecutive
days. Not all the time, of course, but
more or less rain fell every day for that
period of time, and many days it rained
continuously all the time. The sun, for a
period of three weeks, was scarcely seen
at all, and altogether it was a very gloomy,
dismal time and such as most of those
who were residents of the city then will
readily remember. During that time Sc
we're thunder storms were of almost daily
occurrence and oftentimes we would have
two or three showers in the same day.
One redeeming feature about the thunder
and lightning, however, was that it very
rarely came in the night. During the
prevalence of this season of electricity
several persons were struck and killed by
lightning in and around the city. One of
this class was a shoemaker named John
Hogan, who kept his shop in one of the
old buildings recently moved away from
the Idelman corner. Another, a teamster,
was found dead one morning on a load of
old ties out on the bluff to the west of the
Camp Carlin track and overlooking the
Grow Greek bottom. The horses were at
tached to the wagon and unhurt, but the
wagon tracks showed that they had run
round and round in a circle during the
night. Still another man was found
nearly torn to pieces in a ditch above the
city. The Methodist church, which but
a few months before had been partly un-
rooted during the prevalence of a heavy
wind, was also visited by the electric cur
rent and considerably damaged. Since
that time the new Catholic church and
also old Recreation hall (now Charlton's
livery stable were both struck by light
ming the same season.

Mrs. Langtry, in the role of &C alatea,' -
will appear at the Opera house Monday,
June 9. The announcement of her com
ing is already producing many manifesto
tions Of interest among Cheyenne amuse-
mcnt-scekcrs and the desire to see an
actress 50 much il the public mind as
Mrs. Langtry has been for the past year
as Wild spread as in other cities where
she has appeared. The character of
"Galatea' affords Mrs. Langtry the OPP
portunity Of appearing at her best, and
however much ground her general roper
toire gives for adverse criticism, it is con
coded by all that as "Galatea' she is pre-
eminently successful and gives full ex-
preston to the ideas of the author in a
manner which could not fail of pleasing
were she wholly unknown to fame. Pyg-
HidljoH and GaLdtea is a NEUROLOGICAL
comedy and the quiet yet pungent satire,
peculiar to Gilbert's productions, which
pervades its lines lifts it above the mere
play which serves to amuse for the hour
and is then forgotten, From the first act
when "Cynisea, the wife of ''Pygma-
lion,' first draws back the curtain which
c%onceals the marble "Galatea, " until the
last act when poor "Galatea,' in order to
restore sight TO '~'Pygmalion, voluntarily
gives up the life she is learning to love 50
intensely and resumes the marble rigidity
Of death, the play affords alternating sit
uations of pathetic and humorous scenes.
The former is marked with such beauty
and simplicity, the latter with such quaint
ness and genuineness that no description
can portray their strength. That this
play has been chosen for Mrs. Langtry's
appearance here is a matter for congratu-
lation and present indications point to its
being the dramatic as well as fashionable
event of the season.

FINALLY ALLOW ED.
Alter TWENTY Years of Waiting a Chey-
enne Mar Receives His Claim.

Mr.. W. D. jerks has official notifca-
ton from Washington to the effect hat a
portion of his claim against the govern
mcnt has been allowed. The matter has
been pending for about twenty years. In
1864, Mr.. jerks was engaged in the
freighting business. In that year he left
Denver with an immense freight train
bound for Kansas City. On the route he
passed Old Fort Sedgwick, at what is now
Julesburg, and there a great portion of
his outfit was pressed into service by the
commandant, owing to an Indian out
break. Mr.. jerks finally reached Kan
sas City with a badly crippled outfit and
afterwards put in a claim to the govern
ment to cover his losses. After these
many years of waiting he has been allow
ed merely 81, 500, which by no means re-
pays him for his loss. That the case is
finally definitely settled, however, will
probably prove a source of satisfaction in
itself.

ANOTHER CATTLE COMPANY
Organized in Fort Collins but to Oper-
ate In wyoming.

Another big company has been organ
lied at Fort Collins, with the intention of
operating in this territory. From a gem
tleman who arrived from there yesterday,
it was learned that this company was COM
posed of about twenty-five gentlemen, many
of whom will take up $40 acres of land
under the Desert Land act. The location
selected is in the neighborhood ofBuffalo,
in johnson County, and the intention is
to u in bitches and completely irrigate
the land so that it may, if desired, be
used for other purposes besides grazing.
The company will be known as the Colo
RADIO and Wyoming Land and Cattle COM
pany, and Mr.. Thomas Ernest will be its
general manager. The company already
owns a herd of 5000 head of cattle and
from the number of prominent Colorado
men concerned in it it is safe to assume
that the undertaking will be a big one.

No fixed rules can be laid down for
the management Of farms. The soil Of
one township may be best fitted for
growing some kinds of grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most proftablr
devoted to live stock. No two farms
situated side by side are exactly alike.
The distance from market, the demand
for special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste Of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining the sys-
tenn of farm management that it is best
to adopt Those who have given the
most thought to this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system to
be applied to every farm. It is like q
garment That is. intended 10 fit all per-
sons and suit none. Every year Of
progress made in agricultural know1edgs
teaches more forcibly than previous
ones the truth that farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Even in so SEEM
ingly triaing matter as the pruning OF
"a grape vine, the wisest vineyardist can
only. give general rules, and each grape
grower must adapt them to Tho peculiar
tiles of each Farmer and Dairy
man. So. --z. sEfz... 49,. !. 81. $g5 2.r#zE

Woman in the Garden.

We recommend to all women who ara
fortunate enough to have piece Of land
at their command to cultivate vege-
table garden. The culture of strawber-
ries, raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries, currants and golden vegetables
is as delightful and profitable as any
thing in which woman can engage.
She may sprinkle her garden we'll with
flowers. All the better for that. A
SNOWFALL in this. corner and rose in
that, dahlia bed there and a moss Dor
der here, will not be out of place. Only
let the substantial an0 useful constitute
the chief PAL. A touch of the ornate,
like a ribbon on q good bonnet, is not III
the least sobiectionable.=ssIn all the
schools the sgirls4 study botany. It il
healthful, pleasing and useful. The
principles Of horticulture are the prin-
eiples Of botany put into practice. Farm
ers study agriculture; why should nos
their wives and daughters study horti-
culture? The employment is both
healthful and pleasant. What woman
cannot raise beets, tomatoes, onions,
lettuce, and furnish her own table with
them? What woman cannot plant q
raspberry bush, or currant or goose
berry, and attend to it we'll. The ex-
pertinent is both pleasing and profitable.
