Many people are not aware of the pre-
caution which is being taken by the City
council to protect the city against a re-
petition of the disastrous floods which
did so much damage in the city last
summer and also on several occasions be-
fore that time. All those who remember
those floods of water which have poured
into the city from time to time will recall
the fact that they came principally from
the direction of Talbot and the scope of
the country lying between his place and
Lake Mahpalutah, or, in other
words, from the northwest, and
were due to heavy ~ainfalls
in the sloping country which lies to the
north of the city and the divide between
Cheyenne and the mine Mile ranch"
To prevent this vast volume of water
which occasionally falls in the region of
country alluded to, from flowing down
into and o%verrunning the city, as has
been the case several times heretofore,
the city caused a ditch to be dug from n
polHl Il ltic " tnc HOTtllcasu OI nlulOr
Talbot's down across the smooth but
somewhat sloping scope of country to the
bank which descends abruptly to the
Grow creek bottom. This Spring they
have also, for the sum of 5000, paid to
james Talbot, had this ditch extended
across the bottom to the creek and also
have had the ditch just alluded to, whose
construction was commenced last Fall,
completed so that nov for the first time
in the history of Cheyenne should there
come a terrible rain storm or a cloud
burst out on the plain above the city,
such as Cheyenne has several times ex-
perienced to its sorrow, the city would be
safe from an overflow of water.

Our reporter, in conversation with a
gentleman in this city on yesterday, learn
ed the circumstances of a very curious
case which occurred in part in this city.
About three years ago n party came here
from New York, and met here our in
formant, who had known him in the East,
and stated to him that he and his wife
had separated. Some months after that
this New York party was married here in
Cheyenne. Only a few days ago the gen.
tleman who gave our reporter these facts
received a letter from a party residing at
the former home of the New Yorker ask
ing whether he was here, and incidentally
stating that this New Workers. wife had
married again. Just why he desired to
ascertain the whereabouts of the New
Yorker it is not necessary to state. There
is, however, liable to be a sort Of a muss
about the matter after awhile. This is a
curious state, if the husband and wife
were not divorced, and yet both are mar
ried again, and consequently both are
guilty Of bigamy-a penitentiary %offense.
Although this story is by us Intentionally
stated so that it may be as obscure as pos
sible from those who might guess who is
alluded to, yet it is nevertheless probable
that it will be read by some to-day who
will be pretty apt to know just who is
meant.

"HEARTS OF oAK.~
A Powerful Play brilliantly Produced
Last Evening.

Hcrne's Hearts ~ Oak, at the Opera
house last evening, caught on" Seldom
has such a beautiful story been told upon
the boards of a theatre. Simplicity and
naturalness of acting in connection with
magnificent scenic effects served to make
the whole course Of the play seem like a
leaf from real life. The stars, James
A. Hcrne, as Terry Dennison, " the sailor
miller, and Katherine Corcorau, as
Crystal, > are strong in the actually of
their presentations o. lifc-like characters and
high and pure sentiment. Those who
have read the touching story of Enoch
Arden, as told by the English poet
Tennyson, were reminded of its
incidents by the unfolding of the
more pathetic plot of Hearts of Oak.
Around the principal characters cluster a
group of homelike, natural people who
render a generous support. Uncle Davy'
with the little peculiarities of his second
childhood; Aunt Betsey, " with other pc
culiarities, which, perhaps, may be account
ed for by the fact that she never was mar
ried, but hopes.to be; RUBY Darrell" the
handsome sailor lover, and last but not
rendering less efficient support is the
Baby. A more wonderful baby perhaps
was never seen by a majority of the large
audience present, and her appearance,

AS IMMENsE
With a Capital stock of 81, 900 goo
Formed by Cheyenne Parties.

One of the largest companies ever
organized in the Far West for any pur-
pose was formed in Cheyenne yesterday
and their articles of incorporation filed in
the office of Acting Governor Morgan
and also in the office of j. X. Jeffrey,
County Clerk. The company is desiG-
mated in the articles as the Iowa Land
& Cattle company" The incorporates
and trustees of this company are Andrew
Gilchrist, L. S. B. Boughton and Horace
G. Plunkett, all three of whom are Chey-
enne men and well known as thorough
and enterprising business men, with
plenty of capital to back up whatever
they undertake in the way of a business
enterprise. The objects for which the
company is formed is perhaps
sufficiently stated in the name of
the company, and they are for
the purpose Of buying, selling, breeding,
and otherwise dealing in cattle, horses,
sheep, etc, and also for the purpose of
buying, selling, holding, and improving
land by means of irrigation for which
they have also authority to open irrigation
bitches, etc. This company, like most of
those that are organized under the laws of
Wyoming, has fixed in its articles of in
corporation fifty years as the period of its
existence. The principal field of opera
tons of this company will be in Wyoming
Territory, and its principal place of bust
ness will be Cheyenne. This company is
composed of the right sort of men and the
success that has attended them heretofore
isa sure guarantee that the Iowa Land &
Cattle company will have but few COM
petitors that will make a better showing
in the future.

TRANPs.
A small Army of Them Rounded Up
by the Police.

Night before last was u pretty bad time
for the tramps, for it rained furiously,
and while the average tramp can stand
pretty hard storms of wind, snow and
water, yet, like almost any other class of
men, they have sense enough to come in
when it rains. Therefore, when the rain
fell and the clouds descended night be-
fore last, the small army of trumps that
are constantly wandering around on the
railroad grounds and among the car
shops and other buildings south of the
track, sought shelter in the best place
they could find. Nine of the iternerant
gentlemen, who make it their life work to
tramp from place to place in search of
whatever they can steal, beg or borrow;
found refuge in one of the box cars stand
ing on the side track not far from the new
machine shops, where they had comforta-
bic quarters compared to wandering
around in tho rain. Officers Thomasson
and ingalls, were down there. and suspect
ing the presence of some of the tramps
with which the city is beset, went on a
roundup and after quite II search they
discovered the nine in the box car, safely
stored away, and proceeded to storm the
castle. They were all captured and
marched to the calaboose, where they
were incarcerated for the night. Yester-
day morning they were marched up to see
Judge Lee. Complaints were made
against them, and all but one of the num-
Der pleaded guilty. The following are
the names of those who were in accord
ance with this plea fined s. and costs
each; james Woods, Willard Fink.
George Fisher, Edward Trunk, August
Hyattil, Oscar Smith and Henry j.
Jewell. These gentlemen, on account of
the recent crisis in the city of New York.
did not just at that time have the money
with them, but can get it, of course.
The court thought there was no
doubt whatever on that point, but sug-
gested that, pending the arrival of the
money with which to pay the fines, it
would be a good thing for them to take a
little exercise. They were accordingly
mustered into the Dietrich brigade for a
few days. The one who pleaded not
guilty said he had money of his own"
and thereupon produced seven nickles.
This was a very small sum, but the court
discharged him.
Two gentlemen, charged with having
taken "a little spirits down to keep their
spirits W" also came in to see Judge
Lee. The court thought, as they frankly
admitted themselves, that they had been
drunk. They were each fined in the
sum of SO, including costs, and, not
having the money TO pay up, John Foster
and John Mcmahon were also introduced
to the Captain of the street brigade.

j. X, Jeffrey, chief mastering officer of
the G. A. r. department of Colorado, re-
turned yesterday from Evanston whittier
he went on official business connected
with G.. A. R. affairs. While there he
mustered in the T. T. Thurbury post,
which is No. So of the depart
ment. The following is a list of the

From the Live Stock journal.
w. NJ. d. Lee, of the Panhandle of
Texas, was in the city Tuesday. He was
looking up the prospects for a bunch of
1000 Texas steers hat are to arrive here
next week. Scott, Lang & Co, is the
style of the firm, which is a branch of
the Lee-Scott Cattle company of the PAN
handle. There will be one or more trains
to arrive daily after to-day. The horses and
cowboys are already here, and the stock
will be at once taken to the Musselshell,
in Montana. The company owns large
herds of she cattle in Texas, .and will
make a similar yearly shipment.

The rain has set the roads back again.
The rain caused a break in the pave
ment in the alley just back of the Inter
Ocean hotel.
1t is not the beautiful snow which
troubles people in Cheyenne; it is the
beautiful mud.
There are any amount of umbrellas to
be seen on the streets since the big shower
night before last.
This rain will be a good thing for the
grass on the plains and the cattle upon a
thousand hills will be benefited by it.
Three inches of snow fell at Laramie
City night before last and yesterday, and
the same was true of Rock Creek and
other points west.
The rain made a bad piece of work with
the ldelman excavation. Yesterday it
was very wet and soft there and work was
almost totally suspended.
The severe shower on Thursday night
washed a bad hole in the boulevard track
where the water ditch crosses it. This
washout ought to be attended to at once.
Crow creek never has been much higher
than it is now. Some fears are enter
tanned that the city's dam from which the
water supply is drawn will be carried
away.
At > o'clock this morning there was a
steady and continuous fall of rain
all along the Union Pacific from Omaha
to Ogden, a distance of l,O32 miles.
How much farther East and West the
storm extended we are notable to state.

gentle ANNIE,,
Arrested for the Use of Bad Language,
But Escapes,

Annie Clauson, who for some years re
sided in this city, where her name has
been occasionally on the court records,
but who finally left here and went to
Montana, returned to this city about a
month ago. During her residence here,
and before she went to Montana, she ac-
quired the name of Gentle Annie and
it still follows her. Before she left Mon
tana to come to Cheyenne she wrote a
couple of outrageously abusive and threat
ening letters to a lady Of this city against
whom she, for some reason, had contract
ed a dislike, and perhaps had some
trouble with. These letters were on
yesterday shown, and it was at first deter
mined to have her arrested on the charge
of sending threatening letters. In the
meantime, however, this lady who had
received the letters happened to meet her
on the street, when "Gentlc Annie pro-
ceeded to use very abusive language to
her. The officers were notified and went
in search of her. She, however, had made
up her mind to leave the town, and with
her personal effects with her was found at
the train. She was arrested and brought
back up town, but was left for a moment
in a public room in the city while the off
Ger went out to find a member of the po-
lice force, and when he came back
Gentle Annie" had. skipped. She had
gone and could not be found, although
search was made for her in all directions,
1t transpired eventually, however, that
she went back to the train, got aboard
and "lit out for Laramie City. Whether
she will be rearrestcd and brought back is
more than can be stated at this time. 1t
would seem, however, that it would be
well to let her go where she chooses, pro
viding she does not come back to Chey-
puup

Some carpenters who have been work
ing on a house which is being built in the
western portion of the city have lately
lost nearly all of their tools, which have
been taken evidently from the building
when they have been absent for their
meals. Although they must have been
taken in broad daylight no one appears to
have seen anything hat looked suspicious

rays ola fervid sun; all nature is smiling,

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
G. E, Bailey, of Cheyenne, g%eologist of
Wyoming, states that the soda deposits
discovered in the territory are unique.
One series is on the old Laramie plains,
fourteen miles from Laramie City, where
there are a chain Of so-called lakes, from
five to twenty-five acres in area, averaging
fifteen feet in depth. These deposits are
sulphates of soda. In Sweetwatcr valley,
near Independence rock, are thirty-four
deposits, varying in size from three or
four acres up to thirty-two acres. A few
of these are simply nodes of water highly
charged with sulphate of soda. Many
Others contain a mixture of sulphate and
carbonate to n depth of forty-cight feet.
The depth and extent of these deposits
have only recently been known. Expert
mental works have been erected for the
manufacture of carbonates and bicarbon-
ates. In the Sweetwater regions bicar-
Donates are found on the surface.

LAKE
To BE RefilIcd With Water and other
wise Cared For.

rs Val v
People generally will be much pleased
at the determination arrived at by the
city authorities to refill Lake Minnehaha
with water as soon as it is possible to do
so without taking the water supply away
from other purposes where it is more
needed just at present. For some four
years now this beautiful little lake has
been almost totally neglected and aban-
doned. In former days and for about
four years after it was first established, it
was the chief place of attraction in the
city. Sail and row boats were in use on
the lake during the summer months.
There was scarcely a day when rowing
parties of ladies and gentlemen did not
p%atronize these boats, and on Sundays
especially the surface of this beautiful
little sheet of water was dotted with sail
and row boats, while around on the shores
of the lake fishing parties and groups of
men, women and children were seen all
enjoying themselves highly. But the lake
was afterwards practically abandoned, the
water supply was shut of, and by degrees
it degenerated into a mere pond of stag
nant, unhealthy water. almost unfit for
stock even to drink. 1t is understood
that is the intention of the City council to
not only fill the lake with water but a
good drive way will be established all
around the lake and kept in good condi-
ton. 1t is also the intention of the
council to purchase and set out trees
around the lake, more especially on the
eastern shore, but this perhaps will not be
done this season.
