SWAN SENTENCED.
Thirteen and a Half Years in Still
water at Hard Labor.
He Pleads for Mercy, Stating the Torture H
Had Suffered.

Just before the final coming in Of the
grand jury Yesterday afternoon David. E.
Swan, the Northern Pacific railway embez-
zler, was arraigned before Judge Simons for
sentence on one of three indictments found
against him for larceny By the grand jury at
the September term Of the district court,
stating the sum TO have been
taken was $1,000. The prisoner, who
had plead guilty to those indictments on
Tuesday last was accompanied from the jail
to the court room by his devoted wife and
young son, and as he faced the judge and
was asked IL he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed upon him
exhibited much calmness, but his looks in
dictated great mental and bodily prostration
which gave the impression to all that he
would not live any great length Of time.
In answer to the judge, in low and feeble
tones which it was almostim possible to catch,
he said that great deal had been said which
had been untrue concerning his actions In
this matter, while what he had done was bad
enough of itself. He had not expended any
of the money which he had taken for vice or
dissipation, and 1t had neither given him or
his family any benefit When he took it and
afterwards he had hoped to make restitution
BY regaining what he had taken from the
railway company. When in Michigan he
was trying to gain support for his family, and
those st home whom be held most
dear. lie had while there resolved
10 come back to Vice President
Cakes and confess his crime, but he was in
such poor health that his physician forbade
his travel. In the six months OF his absence
he had endured as much suffering as ten
of confinement In jail would have given him.
He knew that justice demanded his punish
ment, bus asked the court TO have mercy upon
him.
Judge SmOns, who listened intently TO the
explanation aud pleading Of the prisoner,
who presented an infirm and pitiable appear
ance as he thus stood before the bar, and one
that challenged, in spite OF the offense com
mitted, general sympathy for the arraigned
and his family, without any remarks sem
fenced him to seven years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary for the larceny Of 81 800
June q, 1884, and on the FIRST Of the six
indictments found against him by the present
grand jury for the larceny OF $1,000, which
charged in all the larceny of $24, 600, Judge
Simons gave him further sentence 10 hard
labor in the penitentiary for term OF six
years and six months, making the full term
received thirteen years aud six months.
The prisoner will be taken to Saltwater to-
mOrrow

Il Neio Plan for Settling the Difficulty Be-
ttreen the Railroads aud tho
Commercial Hen.

COHt"FFCfuC @HcU.
IChicago Tribune
The indications are now that the trouble
between the commercial men and some of
the railroads regarding the issue OF 1000
mile tickets, will be adjusted in few days.
1t is learned that the three roadside Bur-
lngton Northwestern and Milwaukee & st.
Paul-which have changed their system of
issuing 1,000-lnile commercial tickets, have
now under consideration a new plan which
they think will prove entirely satisfactory to
the commercial men. Instead of issuing
l,000-mie permit books, on which COM
mercial travellers must purchase tickets at
full rate, afterwards getting rebate, these
roads now intend to sell regular 900 mile
tickets for S25. The conductor in taking out
the coupons enters the number Of miles taken
out and between which stations used on a
blank space IN the book provided for that
purpose. When the 900 miles are used up,
ii is returned to the railroad which Issued the
same, and the company then pays a rebate
OF SO to the person presentingit This makes
the net rate for the 1000 miles only SIS, or
S. less than charged BY any of the roads
The railroads think that by doing this they
can prevent any connivauce between COM
mercial travellers and conductors, By which
the company is defrauded out of portion of
its revenue, aud that it will also prevent the
tickets from being used by scalpers for the
purpose OF cutting regular rates. They think
they can afford to sell the tickets for SIS less
than was charged heretofore If the above
named irregularities are stopped. To obtain
that end they changed the system of issuing
1,O00-mile commercial tickets in the first
place.

be said to have almost been the pioneer in
the realm Of burlesque opera, her perform

A significant Showing Made by the
Swan Company.

The Denver NeioS publishes the follow
ing together with terse and vigorous COM
ment, which is omitted:
The annual meeting of the Swan Land
and Cattle company Qimited) was held re-
Gently in Edinburg, and the chairman
made a report in which he announced an
annual dividend OF 10 per cent, which
would leave a balance OF S20,O 600 to be
carried forward. After referring to various
other matters connected with the general
management of the range, in the course
Of which he stated that the additions to
the property had amounted in the last two
years to lG. 95l head, or Whereabouts, he
proceeded to speak of what more nearly
interests American readers, namely, their
land acquisitions. He said:
The increase in the value of their prop
erty was by no means confined to their
cattle Important additions had been
made in land purchase, one of which was
a block of land belonging to the Northern
Pacific, which was admirably situated.
Not only did it give them a solid block,
but it gave them also an absolute control
IN the alternative sections owned by the
government, putting them in a position of
absolute certainty that they should obtain
the lease or purchase of that land. It
also %interposed a twenty mile barrier be-
tween the railway and the back-lying por-
tons of their range, and so render their
positions almost as absolutely theirs as what
they had purchased. They had now got
close upon COO, 900 acres of freehold land,
and he thought there was no other cattle
company in America that owned nearly so
much. 1t represented about five acres per
head for every beast they had on It.

STOLEN FROM A STABLE
A Ranchman Loses His Horse,
Saddle and Bride.
Officers Securing the Country for
the Supposed Thief.
Meanwhile the Horse is Safe in the
City Pound.

Tuesday afternoon James Thompson
came in from his ranch and put his horse
in a stable belonging to Mr.. A. Simmons.
About c o'clock the horse was fed and left
in the stable for the night. Yesterday
morning the animal was gone. together
with II saddle and bride. The officers
were notified and Deputy Sheriff McGoni-
gle started out in search of the horse and
thief. The horse is a large bay, and is
branded TX or XL The thiefhad several
hours start, but can hardly make good his
escape.
The above is a brief narration of the
facts as reported yesterday afternoon.
Now the joke comes in.
About 10 O'Clock Tuesday night one of
the police officers found a horse roaming
about the streets, and took the animal to
the city pound. The disappearance of
Mr.. Thompson's horse was not generally
known to the officers, and nothing was
said to those officers who were not on duty
early in the morning. About half-past 10
o'clock last night the officer who placed
the horse in the pound mentioned the in
cident TO a reporter of THE LEADER, and
CAV a general description of the horse.
Thinking that he had possibly struck a
trail, the reporter visited the pound in
company with the officer. An investiga-
ton was made by the light of a bulls-eye
lantern.
The horse in the pound tallies perfectly
with the description given of the
one stolen from Mr.. Thompson.
It is a dark bay, a good-sized
American horse, and a triie thin. 1t is
branded X | on the left shoulder.
Mr.. AL Thompson. of the Western
Union office, is a brother OF James
Thompson, and can probably identity the
horse. He will doubtless visit the pound
this morning. The only reasonable cx-
PLANTATION of the affair is that some thief
stole Mr.. Thompson's saddle and bride,
and when leaving the stable left the door
open, thus giving the horse an opportu-
nifty to stray out on the streets. 1t is
barely possible that the animal in tho
pound is not the n stolen, but appear
ances most certainly Indicate that it is.
Men are riding all over the country in
search Of the stolen horse and the horse
thief From present Indications an able
bodied joke is placed to the account ofthe
nursucrs.

In connection with the small strike of
%tailors, now in progress in this city, it may
interest the general public to know that
the tailors have a strong union. The
Journeymen Tailors' National union is an
instance Of the recent rapid growth of
trades organizations. 1t was founded in
Philadelphia in September. 1888, and
adopted its present constitution in August,
1884. 1t has branches in all the principal
cities, and many smaller towns, and is
constantly receiving new accessions.
Seven iourneymcn tailors can form a
union and apply for a charter. The dues
are ten cents a month, and in case of a
strike it gives Sc a week to each striker.

The Crook Resolution.

The resolution regarding Gen. Crooks
Indian campaigns, introduced at the last
meeting of the Stock Growers Associa-
ton, is being extensively copied and com
mented upon in about the following way.

great services to this country recognized
in this public and complimentary way by

The general statement that the resolu-
ton passed unanimously, is an error, how
ever. The vigorous discussion of the
resolution is still fresh in the memory of
all who were present when it was intro
duced.

A Correspondent who Was Tortured by
FIiPpant Young Ladies'.


To the Editor OF THE LKADER.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 15.-I am
something Of a stranger in your pleasant
western city, and may be an ''old-fogy,n
and all that sort of thing, but l confess
to an appreciation for "old-fashioned"
girls which mounts almost to affection.
In this day of bangs and Giggling misses
and idiotic mimicry of everything that is
senseless, the old-fashioned girl be-
comes a positive delight. Why is it that
j girls must either simper and gush in
a wildly e%xtravagant manner, or effect a
JIase air which is hardly commendable in
a man of 30 or 40 and which is absolutely
absurd when assumed by some pert miss
who has not worn long dresses more than
three or four yeans2

feel like scolding a number of young
ladies have observed at the
theater, the skating rink and at
social entertainments during the past
three months, and while | am about it 1
will say a word to older ladies also:
Do, when you talk, keep your hands
still.
Do observe; the faculty of observation,
well cultivated, makes practical men and
women.
Do attach as much importance to your
mind as TO YOU body.
Do recollect that your health is more
important than your amusement; YOU can
live without one, but you'll die early with
ont the other.
Do try to be sensible; It'll not a particu-
lar sign of superiority to talk like a TOOL.
Do put your hair pins in SO that they
will stay; it looks %slovenly, to say the least,
to see them half dropping out.
Do be ready in time for church and en-
tertainments; if you do not respect your
self sufficiently to be punctual, respect the
feelings of other people.
Do get up in time for breakfast.
Do be reticent; the world at large has
no interest in your private affairs.
Do cultivate the habit of listening to
others; it will make you an invaluable
member of society, to say nothing of the
advantage it will be to you when you
marry; every man likes to talk about him
self; a good listener makes a delightful
wife.
Do be contented, martyrs" are detes-
table; a cheerful, happy spirit is infec-
tious; you can carry it about with You
like a sunny atmosphere.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad as
giggling; both are to condemned; there is
no excuse for either one of them; il you
have anything to say, say it, if you have
not, do hold your tongue altogether.
Do be truthful; do avoid exaggeration
if you mean a mile, say II mile, and not a
mile a half if YOU mean one, say one, and
not a dozen.
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
mother to know better than you do; she
was educated before you were born.
Do leave the eternal lie off your
name; ifyour name is Helen write it so,
don't write it Nellie; if your were named
Catherine, or Elizabeth, or Harriet, write
the name and stick to it, don't make it
Carrie, or Lizzie, or Hattie.
Do avoid slang, and do cease using
such expressions as lawfully nice and
awfully this, that and the other. The
