gratifying to notice that those who
ire more directly interested in tn,

'peculation, but are determined to
make a complete and thorough inyes.
'lgation that will bring to light what.
ever difficulties may be in the way OF
developing route that would he an
nestimable boon to the Red River
Valley, especially.
The distance from pembina to York
Factory on Hudson bay, is about 7uu
axes, a considerable ortion of which

lance from York Factory to Liverpool
VIA Hudson straits is 1915 miles, over
nifty miles less than from New York
to Liverpool. So that should this

The following resolution passed liz

Yesterday a complaint was made before
Judge Fisher against the supposed bur
glar who robbed Freund' gun store recent
ly, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
As his name has not been a~scertained here
in Cheyenne, he was described as John
Doe, whose true name is unknown" The
warrant was delivered to Constable Small
ley, who departed for Laramie City in the
afternoon for the purpose of bringing the
young offender to Cheyenne. In the
meantime no further developments have
taken place in regard to the matter, except
that from kilograms that have passed to
and fro between here and Laramie City,
there can be no doubt as to the iden-
tity of the articles found with the person
arrested, and that they are the same goods
that were stolen from Fruend's store. Mr..
Smslley will probably return to the city
with the prisoner this evening.

A BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN.
w hich Adds to the Attractlveness OF
Rhodes & Troxelps store.

By odds the most beautiful and costly
soda water fountain in the Western coun-
try has been placed in position in Rhodes
x Troxell's drug store. 1t is what is
known ..as the Clarendon No. /, and in
size is seven by eight feet, The body of
the fountain is of rough jasper, with tab
lets of Italian bardillo and faced with a
strip of pyreen green marble. With this
for a base there rises above Il superstruc-
ture of great architectural beauty. In the
center is a large oval glass case, within
which a fountain plays with that gentle
murmuring sound suggestive of messy
cayerns in the sultry summe days. This
is flapked on each side by a couple of
cheval glass mirrors, while between arises
beautiful onyx pillars which support the
notified marble pediments. On each side
is a highly-polished brass chandelier for
the incandescent light. The general effect
of the fountain is highly attractive and
ornamental There are twenty syrup
faucets to contain such a variety of fiayors
that every peculiarly of taste can be sat
isfed. Besides there are nine draught
tubes from which Ottawa beer, ginger
ale, Settler, Vichy, iron water, Manitou
water, and other mineral waters may be
dispensed. In front of the fountain prop
er is the dispensing counter of italian
marble. At one end ofthis is a combined
fountain and automatic tumbler washer.
Enclosed in a glass case stands the 6gure of
a lady diver, her hands raised above her
head ready for a plunge into the cool wa
ter beneath while a spray spurts and CUR
giles about her. At the other end of the
counter is an Italian marble ice shaver
and cream fountain. By this, the ice in
stead of being pounded into small parti-
Giles is shaved into a pulpy fneness.
One very important feature in relation to
the fountain will be that the soda water
syrups will be made from the pure juices
always, and no extracts whatever will be
used. The cost of the fountain and fix
lures was 50, 900. 1t is certainly a beau
tiful ornament to what already was a very
attractive store.

Mr.. Charles T. Hinker arrived in the
city last evening from Denver. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Chas. 7. thinker,
and this will probably be the first intima-
ton many of his friends will receive of his
marriage. The ceremony was performed
two days since. The lady in the case is
Miss Ina Ingersoll, who is well and favor
ably known in the city. The ceremony
took place at the residence of Mr.. Stephen
HoYey, Rev. L. s. Chapman officiating,
Mr.. Alfred Tinker was the groomsman on
the occasion, and Miss Adela Huffschmidt
the bridesmaid. Mr.. Hinker was very sly
in taking this important step, and beyond
the narrow circle of O few immediate
friends, nobody was aware of the event.
The LEADER, all the same, extends the
newly-married couple its heartiest wishes
for their future health and prosperity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinker have taken up THEN
residence at the brides old home.

VALUABLE ROCK.
A Good Quarry of Eirst-CIass Building
Stone discovered.

On yesterday there was brought to the
city two specimens of elegant white COM
posite rock taken from an immense quarry
just opened on the ranch of Mr.. Robert
Tate about twenty-five miles northwest of
Cheyenne. These specimens appear to
be about halfway between granite and
limestone and are exceedingly white and
very hard, but is at the same time found
in seams and layers like the much used
rock from the Fort Collins quarry. Not
only has this particular quarry been found
and opened, but others have also been
discovered in that vicinity. If the new
railroad now being surveyed northward
passes through or near these rock quarries,
it is said it will prove as the old saying
goes a mint of money" not only to the
road itself but will be also a pretty good
thing for those owning ranches and other
property in that region.

TEMPERANCE TOPICS.
A Gathering at the Baptist Church
Last Evening.


There was u Temperance meeting held
under the auspices of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the Baptist
Church last evening, at which there was
a fair attendance. The affair wal more
in the nature of an entertainment than a
mass meeting and the exercises consisted
Of short speeches, songs, instrumental
solos and Rotations. Mr.. Brown, Of the
Baptist Church, in making a few remarks,
stated that he wen into a business place
on Sixteenth street the other day and
there saw a picture of Clusters Last
Charge and that a gentleman who was
present at the time told him that he
helped bury some of the dead and also
that Custer made a charge with fifty men
on 5000 Indians, and furthermore that
the fifty men were all drunk at the time.
1t would seem that Brother Brown has
been just a little victimized by some
crank, for it is well known to all who
were residents of Cheyenne at the time that
NuStSi hihhV hH CndIBc WIN SLA COnl-
panies of cavalry 600 mem; that Reno
and Benton, with 273 men, who were to
attack the 1000 savages from another
direction, made the attack and failed at
just about the same time when Custer,
who was more han four miles away, made
his charge which resulted in the death of
himself and the entire 300. Another
thing which with the foregoing is also a
matter of history, and that is that Custer
and his men were between two and three
hundred miles away from where any
whisky could be obtained, except perhaps
a little for medicinal purposes. That
kind of a story about Custer and the 800
martyrs who fell on that fatal day in strik-
ing a blow against the deadly foes of the
borderland is "A trif1e too thin. II may do
for tenderfeet but not for old timers. A
recitation by Miss Helen McCrum, THAT
Drinking House Over the Way" was the
most attractive feature of the evenings
entertainment Rev Mr.. Eldridge made
a short speech and seemed solicitous that
that reporter, y as he expressed it, should
not misreprescnt him. Mr.. j. S. Taylor
also delivered a short address upon the
subject. The meeting was dismissed at
about $50 o'clock.

DIR. A. Judson Gray has had in his pos
session for the past eleven years a piece of
olive wood originally obtained on the
Mount of Olives in the Holy Land. The
wood, of course, is highly valued and is
probably worth its weight in gold. This
specimen the Doctor has recently had
fashioned into a cross of about a foot in
length and he now proposes to present
it to the Congregational church of this
city. This valuable souvenir will be af-
fixed to the central panel of the church
pulpit, where it will be f1anked by the two
square medallions of Charter Oak which
are now in position there. The souvenir
will prove of rare interest to all Christian
people.

AT REST.
Funeral Services Over Lewis stable
- Yesterday.

"H
The funeral services of the late Lewis
Stable, who was shot and killed at Spear.
tsh, Dakota, last week, were held at the
Episcopal church in this city Yesterday
morning at II O'Clock, the Rev. George C..
Ratter officiating. The casket which was
placed at the foot of the aisle leading to
the chancel window, was a very elegant
one, with silver mountings and was
crowned with an anchor made of immor
telles and also with other beautiful floral
designs. Mrs. R. F. Glover, Miss North
and Messrs, Haines, Muylle and Inman,
constituting the regular Episcopal choir,
were in attendance. The services com
menced with a funeral chant by the choir,
after which "A few passages of Scripture
were read which contained among other
words of inspiration 80 Death, where is
thy sting, o Grave, where is thy victory"
The choir then sang a beautiful selection.
The touching and impressive Episcopalian
burial service was then pronounced and
at its conclusion the choir sang
Ever near my Fathers side
May thy grace my portion be"
The casket was then placed in the
hearse without being opened and the pro-
%cessien moved to the cemetery where the
bencdiction was pronounced, the coffin
lowered to its final receptacle and Lewis
Stable was at rest.
