THOROUGHLY ROBBED.
A Stranger From the Chug Takes
in the Town,
And Finally Finds Himself Minus
Almost Everything.

Night before last three men came into
the city direc: from the Chug. where they
have been employed for some time past.
They had all three been paid of and had
received about fifty dollars each. One of
these men is Henry Waters who is a mid
die aged man, honest and industrious, but
at the same time somewhat given to
drinking whisky. Arrived in town, the
three men, of course, went into the first
saloon they came to and got some drinks,
and after they had taken one ronnd, they
took another, and still another,
until they got to feeling happy. They
then started around the city, going from
place to place, occasionally taking a drink;
but after awhile one of them, who had by
this time got pretty full, fell out of the
ranks, while the other two, one of whom
was Waters, continued the rounds. They
drank several times more, Waters paying
for the drinks for the most part,
and in so doing produced his money
several times, and made such an
exhibition of it hat it was not only
seen by his companion but could also
have been seen by any one who happened
to be present at the time. After wander
ing arounduntil quite a late hour they
separated near the r of Sixteenth
and Eddy streets. This is the last that
Waters remembers until just as it began
to be daylight, when he found himself
lying in the gutter near one of the water
bitches in the western portion of the city.
An investigation revealed the fact that
his money, together with about three
pounds of tobacco which he had with
him, was gone. A further inventory of
himself also showed that his shoes and
even his stockings had disappeared. In
this plight he started back toward the
city. On his way toward Eddy street he
found a colored man who gave him a pair
of old shoes which he put on. He was
still, it would seem, partially intoxicated,
for he does not seem to remember dis
tinctly where he went to but finally at
about 8 O'Clock in the morning came
around to Reynolds barber shop. on
Sixteenth street, where he related his
adventures to one Of the employees of the
shop with whom he is acquainted. He
said that when he left the Chug he had
$47, and after he reached Cheyenne he
bought a hat for which he paid So and
also spent some money for drinks. He
thinks that he must have had about $40
when he parted company with his com
panion the night before. One thing was
certain, however. his money was gone and
somebody must have taken it. Suspicion
naturally attached t. his companion of the
night before, and he trie1 to find him
without success. The police were notified,
and an an attempt was made to find the
man he des ,ribel, but without success,
and, as he belonged down in Colorado, it
is probable that he had left the city in
that direction before the loss was dis
covered.

The Nineteenth street bridge over Crow
Creek, which was almost ruined by the
disastrous food of the early part of May,
has been reconstructed and again put in
serviceable condition, but of course at con-
siderable expense. Inrepairing the bridge
Mr.. James Talbot, who had the contract,
caused the spiles to be driven into the bed
of the stream for a distance OF seventeen
feet, which is quite an improvement on
the old bridge and in every respect, ae-
cording to the testimony of the experts
and knowing ones. a much more secure,
strong and substantial structure than it
was before the food.

yesterday, having visited Round up No. 6
in his travels. The round up was com
rleted on the 9th, at what is known as
Devils Half Acre. John Linn was fore
man of this round up, and considering it
is the largest in the Territory and most
difficult to handle, great credit is due him
for the satisfactory manner in which the
work was performed. About 200 MAYER
icks were sold. Mr.. Lind reports hat he
went through about 100, 900 cattle.

A GRAND SIGHT.
The School Children's March As Seen
From the Parquet.

There are one or two matters in connec-
ton with the Commencement @cxercis >,
which will justify a brief mention at this
at this time, and which have been u%niyer-
sally commented upon by all who were
present at the Opera House night before
last. One of these was the mar h of the
whole school in review. There were prob
ably not less than 6O) pupils who kept
step together in this march, although had
the entire school been present there woull
have. been go more. The adyanee of
this line as it moved upon the stage from
the west side was composed fist of the
smallest children in the school, after
which came those of a larger size, an | so
on until those who might perhaps be pro-
perly termed young ladies AMI gentlemen
appeared. They all kept step magnifi-
Gently, and presented a most imposing
spectacle to those who occupied the par
quet and the galleries. They were nearly
twenty minutes passing across the stage,
and VIII n the last of them had dis p
peared a storm at applause testified to the
appreciation of the episode by the au-
dience. Some of those who witnessed
this march have said that it was the
grandest sight they ever sa :.

Shameful Neglect.

A case has come to light in Sutro
which for inhuman treatment is equal 10
the Tewksbury horror. John O'Donnell,
who for some lime has been running a
saloon in that town, had for several
days been on spree, and becoming un.
able longer to attend TO business went
to his room and TO bed. This was about
a week ago, and though some Of the
people Of Sutro were aware that he was
in his room no one went near him until
a day or Two ago, when it was found
that the man was nearly starved and
that he was actually being eaten up by
flies and maggots. His body from the
chest to the knees was entirely raw, and
the poor man was a sight TO behold.
Upon discovering what horrible con-
dition he was in several parties took
the matter in hand, and Wednesday
O'Donnell was sent 10 Virginia TO the
hospital. 1t is very doubtful # he re-
covers from his horrible condition.
Since the above was put in print it is
learned that Mr.. O'Donnell died at the
hospital Wednesday night.

improvements at the Eureka.

A number of substantial improve
ments are being made at the Eureka
mill. A large Nc. s Blake's pump is
being put in position to be used exclu-
sively for fire purposes. 1t is TO Be
connected with nothing in or about the
mill but will supply large cistern
which is in the yard OF The Superintend-
ent's house at an elevation above the
mill of sixty feet. A hydrant is to be
put in connection with the cistern in
about the center Of the mill yard over
which is to be built hose. house which
will contain a regular freman's outfit
and hose enough TO reach any building
in he small but lively camp. We are
infol med that il is the intention Of the
company 10 put up six OF llcndy's self
feeders as soon as possible. Mr.. Hendy
has been at the mill and made the nee.
essary measurements for the same.
This will necessilaIe other improvements
in the mill. They have one large Blake
rock .crusfer and are expecting another
daily, which will be put in operation as
soon as set up. The rock is very coarse
and hard thus requiring two breakers.
How does this sound 10 some OF the
wise ones who predicted that the start
ing OF the mill was nothing but an cleo
ton Job, and who SAID "Ihey have
nothing TO crush but grind stones2" a
new retoit ha, also been put in the mill
since it was started up, as it was not
thought best to trust 10 the four old ones
thai were left in place. The closing Of
the large reiort reminds one OF old times
as il was chock full. The rock now
being worked at the mill is from the
Hale x Norcros, and is the first that has
been dumped over the grizzlies Of this
mill for eight years. Thirty stamps are
kept running conslally, anu part OF the
tim. IS 10 keep the thirteen pans going.
About 100 tons of rock are crushed ev,
cry "a hours. Fifteen more stamp and
four pans are being put in readiness TO
work rock from the WoodvIlle mine.
The first rock was hauled last Monday
by Adam Gilhspie's teams. The wag.
ons are something like the mill, Of the
'jumbo" kind, and make daily trips.
Since writing the above the fifteen stamps
have been set in motion on Woodville
ore. This makes IS stamps running
continually. [lt is reported that a
"gin mill' will be set in motion in the
camp soon, by some Dayton parties].
A clean up was had this week, but the
result was not learned in time for pub
LEGATION.

bones were broken and he is now rapid
