ON THE WAR PATH.
A somewhat Noted Woman Searching
For A Man. with Blood
in Her Eye.

This morning at about | o clock a wom-
an, supposed to be Blanche Porter, and
who was equipped ''as the law directs
went out on the war path in search of
&. W. Lear, with whom she has hereto
fore had trouble, which some time ago
became a matter Of notoriety in Chey-
enne, the papers in this city having from
time to time given accounts in regard to
it. 1t is claimed on the part of the wo-
man alluded to that Lear got away
with some 81 900 which she loaned him
in Leadville, he never having paid her
back the money, and furthermore, seeking
to avoid her by leaving Leadvillc and
keeping out of her way. 1t is said she
finally found him, however, in Butte City,
Montana, together with his wife. She
did not succeed, it is alleged, in effecting
any settlement with him at that place and
for that reason attempted to take her own
life, but without success. About FIVE
weeks ago Lear returned to Cheyenne and
but a few days ago she also made her ap
pearance in this city, and since her return
has been watching'for Lear without success.
This morning, however, she was more
successful. Looking through the window
at a certain saloon with a club in the rear
she saw him playing cards with some other
parties. She made i break into the back
door of the club room. but before She had
partly got u ioothuld in the doorway the
object Of her search sprang from his seat
and ran swiftly through the saloon and
escaped. Before she could come around
from the rear end Of the building he had
disappeared altogether. She continued
her search for him for some time, but he
took good care not to be seen. She
finally gave up her search and went home
but will doubtless be heard from again
before long.

BURGLARY.
Maraudcrs Who Are Gobbled BY Deputy
sheriff Hosfnrd.

On Sunday night Deputy Sheriff
HosiOrd went down To the depot ON bust
ness, and after having transacted it
started to come back UP town. When
part way back and near one ofthc small
buildings on Fifteenth street his attention
was attracted by the sound of some one
trying to force open Il door. He peercd
through the uncertain light and discov-
cred two men ut work trying the door to
the establishment and paused Il watch
them, thinking that if they succeeded in
e~ttectlng an entrance he could capture
them without and difficulty, and if he
alarmed them they might effect their
escape. They did not succeed, however,
in getting the door open and after awhile
desisted and commenced operations on
the windows of the place. BY this time
Hosford thought it about time to make
himself manifest and forthwith made a
charge on the brace of marauders. They
had not been aware hat any one was near
at hand, much less watching them, and
were therefore taken completely by
surprise and both captured. Although
one of them had a revolver with him he
did not use it. Without assistance the
plucky deputy took the six-shooter away
from them and marched them up to the
City calaboose. Here they were searched
but nothing beyond a pocket knife and a
few little trinkets were found with them.
Upon examination it was asccrtained that
the gun was not loaded which probably
accounts for the fact that the would-be
burglar did not try to use it when the
officer first put in an appearance. The
one having the gun gave his name as
Fred Hall while the other would not dis
close his name. They could give no salts
factory account of what they were doing
around the building at hat late noun of
the night and We're consequently incar-
cerated, They have not as yet had an
examination.

THE MAN FROM spEAREIsH.
He Makes An Extraordinary Request
For Unrecorded Brands.

There are a good many people in this
world who do not lack for cheek, and in
deed this article is about all the stock in
trade that some have. But the checklist
chap this far Western country ever pro
duced, lives up in Speartish, Oak, and he
was heard from by County Clerk Jeffrey
on Sunday. That gentleman received a
letter from him asking that u certified list
Of the unrecorded brands of Laramie
county be sent to him at once and at the
conclusion of his letter stated that if any
fee was required he would remit at once
on receipt of the document. This dis
counts any book agent or insurance man
we eyer heard of, and he probably is Il
brother of the lightning rod agent who
was struck by a flash Of lightning while
carrying Il rod ON his shoulder. The rod
was melted but his cheek was only singcd
Il little. The only thing that might be
considered ON an equality with the request
of the gentleman from Spcurtish, was that
OF u reporter requesting a man who was
to be hung at u o'clock. to consent to have
the job performed at 10 o'clock. which
would be Il great accommodation Ia him
as he of course wanted to be at the hang
ing, but there was to be Il horse race ut
that hour and he couldn't very well be in
two places at once and he was afraid the
other reporter would get Il scoop ON
him 1t would be much less of Il job to

Two damsels named Annie jackson
and Josie Anderson from that portion of
the city known as Chicago, made their
appearance before Judge Lee yesterday
in obedience to the invitation of one of
the city officers. They were charged with
creating a disturbance and breach of the
peace. The Court investigated the charges
and found them TO be true and they were
consequently fined SIS each, which
amount included the costs in each case.
Gentle Annie paid up but Josie didn't
have that amount of money, or indeed
any amount, and was therefore retained
in durance vile.

WELL FIXED.
A Tramp Who Claims to Own a
Bank Account.
He Holds a Brief Consultation With
Judge Lee.

For the past two or three months Il
tramp, evidently about eighteen years old,
has been hanging around the various
saloons of the city. seemingly not inclined
to do any work, and caring but little about
how the world wagged provided he could
get all the whisky and beer he wanted to
drink with. occasionally a bite to eat. He
gives his ame as John LAWN, and says
he is from Nebraska, but from what por-
ton of that state he does not tell. He is
a pretty smart looking fellow and seems
fit for better ways than those he has been
following of late. For some little time
LAWN made it his headquarters around
the Pioneer saloon and the corner of
Sixteenth and Eddy streets, but on Satur-
day he was arrested as a vagrant. Yester-
day Officer Nolan took him before Judge
Lee, where the complaint was read to him
and he was asked the usual question as to
how he wanted to plead. He appeared
to have sense enough to know that the
facts were all against him, and he promptly
pleaded guilty. The question then arose
as to what should be done with him, and
it was this vexed question which mostly
agitated the mind of the court for some
little time.
What doyou suppose | had better do
with you?' inquired the Judge.
We'll, I'm sure | don't know - replied
the tramp.
About six months is what the law pro
vides in IA case like this.
is that so? Why your law here is
just like it is in Nebraska.
Never mind now about Nebraska. you
are in Cheyenne.
Certainly, but | was only telling you"

months anyhow, which will let you out
