To-day is the last day on which pur-
ehasers of Christmas gifts have to make a
selection. The perplexing question of
what to buy will agitate many who have
deferred their purchases until the last mo-
ment. Many of our merchants have
splendid lines of holiday goods well select
cd. Off all the houses having a special
line of holiday goods for sale none seem to
have so well considered the wants of taste
full buyers as the popular firm of Rhodes
& Troxell Although the sales of the
past few days have made perceptible in
roads on their stock, yet they still have a
most complete assortment of elegant
goods suitable for presents for either ladies
or gentlemen. Their line of holiday gift
books is a marvel of appropriateness, in
Guiding with the handsome publications.
for adults an equally attractive lot Of child-
rens' books. Their list of fancy and use
full articles for ladies and gentlemen use
is unsurpassed in beauty and Appropriate
ness of selection, and the reader who has
racked his or her brain to think Of some
appropriate present for husband, wife,
lover, child, parent or friend will have no
trouble in solving the problem if they will
pay a visit to Rhodes & Troxell's to-day
and examine the stock of goods on exhi-
bition there.

the general Christmas celebrations. Thurs
day evening a grand gala time will be had
In celebration of the day, and a monster
Christmas tree will be covered with pres
ents for the members OF the school. The

Deputy Sheriff Smalley has gone to
Greeley in pursuit Of the tramp who
robbed the Mexican, Pedro L, Martinez,
of his team and money. Word was re-
ceived here yesterday that the fellow had
been seen some miles south of the city on
the road to Greeley. 1t is believed that
he will endeavor to sell the outfit in Greel-
ey, and Deputy Sheriff Smalley will be
there in time to capture HIM. The horses
are reported to be greatly exhausted by
reason of long journey and scanty feed,
and by taking the cars the officer will ar
rive in Greeley before the thief reaches
that sequestred hamlet, In case the fel-
low should not appear in Greeley to-day.
Mr.. Smalley will obtain a horse and start
on the fellows trail. In view of all of the
circumstances it does not seem probable
that the thief will escape.

Charles Smith, the man who was ar
rested Monday evening for having in his
possession the watch stolen from Alt
more's safe, came before Justice Lee yes
terday afternoon and asked for a continu-
ance of the case until to-day. Mr.. West
moyer appeared as surety for Smith, and
upon the signing Of the required bonds the
hearing was postponed.
A young man who gave the name of
Ralph Evans was charged with vagrancy,
and was given a hearing and an opportu-
nifty to spend the holidays in the county
Jail.
The man Ten Brock, who was arrested
Monday night. was brought into court
He pleaded not guilty to the charge OF
vagrancy, and asked for a trial. The
prosecution was not ready for a trial, and
so the case was postponed until this after
o Ten Brock was placed under
bonds in the sum of 800, and not being
able to furnish the required security for
his appearance he was given the use of
the city corral until this afternoon.
The cases against Bradley and Stratton
were called, but were continued by con-
sent, it having been agreed to dismiss the
cases upon their departure from the city.
Both of the men agreed to leave the city
last evening.

FLIGHT
A Rather Brief Career as a Cheyenne
business Man.

Some weeks ago the firm Of Palmer q
Fowler was organized in this city for the
purpose of dealing in bric-a-brac and
articles of art. The firm secured n store
on Ferguson street, began business under
most favorable auspices, and seemed des-
tined to become one of the leading bust
ness houses in the city. Yesterday morn
ing there appeared in TIE LEADER an
inc that Mr.. Palmer would
close out the stock, and the card convey
ing that information showed on its face
that he had assumed full control of the
business, An investigation made yester
day resulted in the disclosure of the fol-
lowing facts:
Mr.. |. p. Fowler came to Cheyenne
while carrying on the more or less migra-
tory business Of a book agent. Here he
met Mr. Palmer, and their business rela-
tions were formed. 1t seems that Fowler
did the buying for the firm, and also had
general charge Of the store. Mr.. Palmer
time being otherwise. so occupied that he
could not give the business his undivided
personal attention. While thus trusted
with the affairs OF the business, Mr..
Fowler exceeded his instructions and
authority by making purchases largely in
excess Of the demands of the. trade, while
at various and sundry times his business
relations with the firm were not character
lied with manly openness and candor.
Thursday of last week Fowler left the
city ostensibly to go to Denver, and with
the understanding that he would return
on Saturday. Since that time he has not
been heard of. 1t has been learned that
telegrams-sent to him were delivered, and
it has become quite evident that he has
absconded.
He leaves the business in such shape
that Mr.. Palmer, who is otherwise en-
gagged, will of necessity be oliged to close
it out. Mrs. Fowler, the wife of the alb
sconding man, has received no word from
him. She is left here p~enniless and almost
an entire stranger. She is spoken of as a
charming lady, and it hardly seems pos
sible that her husband has deliberately
deserted her. They have been married
about five years. What action she will
take in the matter has not as yet been de-
termined, and Bowler's future course
may, IN a great measure, be governed by
her decision. 1t is quite certain that no

A Point well Taken.

To the Editor OF LEADER.
CHEYENNE, December 23.-Some gen
tlemen were discussing the subject Of
county offices when one remarked that the
running of a candidate for County Treas
urer was all a farce, as the County Treas
urer only held his office as ex-oficio Pro-
bate Judge. See Compiled Laws of Wyo-
ming page 206: There shall be a Judge
of Probate for each county, who shall
hold his office for two years and until his
successor is elected and qualified, and
who shall be ex-officio Justice of the
Peace and County Treasurer of his
County" The United States Court de-
cided that the Probate Judge could not
hold the office Of Justice of the Peace.
The remainder of the section is still in
force.
The above law holds good notwithstand-
ing Section l of aP>act approved Deem
Der 10, 1879, saidfthe gentlemen, and the
programme of holding an election for
Treasurer is a useless form, and may yet
lead to difficulty if one should have a
majority for Probate Judge and the other
for County Treasurer. In such a case
the one having a majority as Probate
Judge would take both offices.
Nor does the decision of the Supreme
Court Of Wyoming, delivered at the
March term of 1877, IN the case of the
Territory VS. Ritter, affect the above.
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you ask the
opinion of those learned in the law on this
subject The writer asks as a mere mat
ter Of curiosity, being neither a lawyer
nor Office holder.

ing session was occupied in hearing
arguments in the sheep case of Thayer VS.:

UNIQUE DECORATIONS.
How Sides of Beef May BE Utilized to
Charm the Eye.

Ordinary fresh beef and mutton seem
rather unpromising material with which
to make artistic decorations, and at first
blush some people might be disposed to
doubt whether any amount of manipula-
ton would render a saddle of yenison, for
instance, as attractive to the eye as it is
e%nticing to the taste. That prosaic beef,
and equally prosaic mutton, can be worked
into a very artistic display any one may
prove for him or herself by simply drop
ping around to the Phoenix market on
Sixteenth street, opposite the Postofiee.
In beauty of interior decorations the
market rivals the beauties of first class
dry goods store. Evergreen encircles the
sides of the room, and on the wall back of
the counter is formed into the following
legend.
