Death of Rev. Daniel Yount.

Iuo people VI aug uottt dIu llIOuSHOuG
the Valley where the Rev. Daniel Yount
was so well and favorably known, will be
panied to hear of his sudden and tragic
death on Tuesday morning last. 1t seems,
hour of writing, that he was found lying
on the side of the track on the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, at Crimora Station.
in this county, with his head mashed and
his brains oozing out from the wound. 1t
was the Station where he got off to go to
his home, and the presumption is that he
attempted to jump from the train while
in motion, and striking his head against a
Car standing on the side track, the violent
contact caused his death. The circum-
stances attending the deplorable accident.
we have not been able to learn, further
than the inference here stated.
MI. Yount was one of the most promi-
nent. liberal and useful members Of the
Dunkard Church, and minister in good
standing. AS a citizen he was universally
esteemed for his high character, prompt
business methods and unusual success. He
was one of the best farmers in the Valley
his farm model of neatness and skill.
He was born and raised in the neighbor-
hood of his late home. but at one time re-
sided near Broadway, Rockingham county,
where he married Miss Bowman, niece
of j. J. Bowman, Esq. whom he leaves,
with one child, son, now finishing his ed
ucation in one Of the eastern States.
Mr.. Yount was about As or 46 years of
age, and one of the most active and saga
clous farmers in the county. His exam
pie in every relation of life was worthy of
being followed, land the loss of such man
III the full maturity Of his manhood and
usefulness may be counted a public loss.
We sincerely sympathize with the afflicted
family and friends, as must every one
who had the pleasure of an acquaintance
with this most estimable gentleman.
? He will be buried at New Hope to-day
9Thursday) at IL O'Clock, we learn, where
no doubt, the esteem in which he was held
will be manifested by the large attendance
which will be present to pay the last tri-
butte OF respect to his memory.
In Richmond on the Goth, Miss Virginia
Pelham Stuart, of this city. daughter of
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart, presented the Stuart
Horse Guard, a cavalry company named in
honor of the deceased General, with flag.
Her presentation address was admirably
conceived and delivered with becoming
simplicity and marked impressiveness.
A series Of interesting and impressive
meetings by Rev. DR.. Din
widdie-has been in progress at the Fst
Presbyterian church during the past week.
The sermons have been able and convinc-
ing and a very deep religious feeling has
been developed. The Doctors work in
Staunton will be long remembered, and
will yield a rich reward.

The city council held a special meeting
last evening. Mayor Carey presided and
Councilman Finnegan, Griffin. Harring-
ton, Riner. Warren and McGregor were
present.
Mayor Carey stated that as both J. X.
jeffrey and W. W.. Jeffrey were out Of
the city, Mr.. 7. j. Fisher had been APP
pointed deputy city clerk. He had APP
proved of the appointment and asked the
council to confirm it. Councilman Har-
rington objected and Councilman Warren
approved Of the suggestion. After some
debate Mr.. Carey stated hat if the coun-
Gil did not confirm the appointment he
should telegraph to Mr.. jeffrey and cause
the immediate return Of that official.
The law stated that the city clerk should
open the tickets cast in the city elections,
and Mr.. Carey did not want to take any
chances by having them opened by any
one not authorized to do SO. Further de-
bate was finally stopped by Councilman
McGregor, who moved that Mr.. Fisher
be appointed deputy city clerk. Mr..
Griffin gave the motion the endorsement
Of a second and it passed.
Mr.. Warren formerly notified the coun-
Gil of the death of Governor Hale and
moved that a recess be taken for the con
sideration of resolutions, an official recog-
milton of the death of the governor being
proper at this time.

Correspondence Of THE LEADER
FoRr RUSSELL, Jan. 13.-Late this
evening another deserter was brought
from Denver under guard to this point
and turned over to the guards here.
The Red Cross held their weekly meet
ing this evening. This society is as yet
in its infancy, but from all reports it is
likely to flourish. 1t has been so far a
a decided benefit to the enlisted men of
this post.
Building at Fort Russell is booming.
The new ice house which was started a
few weeks ago is looking skyward very
rapidly, and on completion will be filed
for the coming summer.
The minstrel and dramatic troupe at
this post expect to hold forth on or be-
fore the 24th and great pains have been
taken to make it a decided success. THE
LEADER staff has been cordially invited to
attend.
Fort Russell will in the near future be
supplied with hydrants which will be
placed at each building, thus giving the
water wagon a rest.

To the People of wyoming Territory.
1t is my painful duty to announce the
death of the chief executive Of the terri
tory.
Hon. William Hale, governor of Wyo-
ming, died at his residence in this city on
Tuesday, the 18th inst at 3o'clock p. m.
Gov. Hale was born in the state Of Iowa,
being at the time of his death about As
years of age. The greater portion of his
life. previous to his removing to Wyo-
ming Territory, was passed in his native
state where he was a leading and honored
member of the legal profession. He
served a number of terms as a member Of
the Iowa legislature, and for a time ably
performed the duties of speaker Of the
house of representatives.
In 1882 he was appointed and commits
stoned by President Arthur. governor of
this territory.
Governor Hale was a man OF ability,
integrity. generous impulses, supreme
COURAGE and will power. though often
severely suffering from the disease
which caused his death, to the last he
continued to faithfully perform his official
duties.
Done at the city of Cheyenne, and the
great seal of the territory attached this
thirteenth day of January, A. b. 1885.

THE NORTHWEST SECTION.


From the Big Horn Sentinel.
Now that we have been favored with a
Chinook Of several days duration, fears of
a heavy loss of cattle on the ranges in
johnson county have been removed for
the present at least. We learn that
across the line in Montana, on the Rose
bud and Tongue river ranges, snow is yet
lying TO a considerable depth and cattle
are beginning to look rather thin. but as
far as this county is concerned the out
look is that the loss this winter will be
very small.
J. B. Stroud, range foreman for the
Grinnell live stock company. was over
this week from the Hanging Woman
country. Montana, in which section he
reports stock of all kinds looking well.
Just before W. H. Holland started
for the EAST last Tuesday he purchased
from Messrs. Snider & Mann 400 head
of cattle ranging on Clear creek and
vicinity. The price paid, as near as we
could learn, was about $28 per head.
They viii be added to the Holland &
Pfeifer herd, ranging in the same To-
cality.

done them by the government failing to
take any action in the matter, though the
authorities at Washington have been duly
notified Of the occurrences.
After a p~rotracted delay, occasloned
by the cold weather, we are at last en-
sconced in our new building. It is con-
structed after a model conceived by the

secured to the full. The Office is t be
