TAKEN TO JAIL ON A CART.
News Found Floating in aud Aroun,
Police Headquarters.

Follce headquarters
Joe Miller was gloriously drunk yes
terday afternoon. In TACT he imbibed so
freely that he could neither walk or sit up.
He made his general headquarters at the
depot, and thinking no doubt, that he
was taking some trip in a Pullman car, he
quietly laid himself to rest on the plat
form. Officer Bean, at this tine hap
pened along, but Joe would not nor could
not move. Here was n dilemma for the
officer, but a thought came and at the
appropriate time. The officer loaded the
drunken man on a baggage cart and
wheeled him to the city Jail and locked
him in. The officer was the hero Of the
day. Men, women and children followed
in eager pursuit, and many We're the offers
of assistance rendered the eonservator Of
the peace. The crowd then. pushed by
and almost blockaded the route of the
baggage cart, but with heroism and
strength the officer landed his man safely
behind the iron gates. IfMiler had been
in a condition to have seen the eager
crowd watching every move he made he
would have been highly pleased at the at
ton paid him.
Alexander Thompson entered Judge
Lees court Of iustic yesterday morning
on a charge of being drunk and disorderly.
The willy Alexander denied the charge,
ci,tunt,r tbaf - v-,e , boea e1.nIor ,,nor a
a free American citizen. The case was
tried and it was ascertained that the pris-
oner had been drunk and he was given
the small fine Oslo, but this he could not
pay and he at once secured a position
from the city, working on the streets,
where he will remain until he earns the
amount of the fine.
Patsy Green had his preliminary hear
ing before Judge Fisher yesterday after
noon upon a charge Of burglary. Patsy
was entirely too fond of picked salmon
and on Saturday night succeeded in taking
a case from q Union Pacific freight car.
He was sent to Jail in default of a 5000
bond to await the action of the grand
jury.
Several complaints have been made
against parties for misdemeanor, in the
justice courts and warrants issued for
the arrest of the parties. The INT are
withheld until the arrests are made.
The police force had all they could do
last night keeping the soldiers straight,
as they were determined to get drunk and
spend all their money.
A couple of plain DRINKS were taken in
charge by the officers last night and To-
Gated in the city Jail. They will appear
in the police court this morning.

The streets and Alleys Being Put in
an Excellent Condition.

1t is the intention Of the city officials to
clean up the streets and alleys, and put
them in an excellent condition. With
this view in sight they already have a
large force of men at work upon the diff
ftrent streets, grading, removing rub
bish, digging cutters, putting in cross
ings, and otherwise improving them. A
reporter of THE LEADER made a short
tour of the city yesterday afternoon and
everywhere found men at work, which,
when completed, will materially improve
them and greatly add to the convenience
Of pedestrians and travellers.
The city has not much money to spend
this year in this department. but the
amount will be wisely and judiciously
disbursed.
The alleys are also receiving their share
Of attention from the officials in charge.
Parties have been notified to clean the
alleys at once or steps will be taken to
compel them to do so. The official in
charge of this department says he will
make the citizens remove the refuse, ma
nure and dirt from the alleys frequently,
or they will have to stop throwing it
there. He is determined, he says, to
keep the alleys III a clean and healthy con
dition, or he will arrest the parties who
refuse, and give them a chance to appear
in the police court.
There has been considerable complaint
lately in regard to the filthy condition Of
the alleys, but the officials say it would
have been impossible to have removed it
sooner. The policy will now be for every
citizen to keep his alley clean or suffer the
consequences for failing to observe the
law in this respect.
1t is the intention to make Cheyenne
one of the c~leanest and most healthy cities
in the West, and the officials will be sup
ported by public sentiment in so doing,
say some of the committee on the streets
| and alleys.

NEW CHURCH EDIFIcE.
The EpIscopaIs to Erect a New Church
this Summer.

1t is now almost definitely settled that
Cheyenne will have another large and
beautiful church edifce during the com
ing summcr. For some time it has been
apparent that the Episcopal church was
Inadequate to accommodate the already
large and growing congregation. With
this knowledge of the situation the Epis-
copalians have purchased two handsome
and well situated lots on the corner of
Nineteenth and Ransom streets, for a
site for the erection of a new place OF
worship. The lots will have a frontage
of 1872 feet, with the same depth.
The plans are now being drawn by a
noted New York architect and will call
for a stone church, of the Gothic style, at
a cost of $4,000. The plans have not
yet been received, but it is probable that
they will be returned soon. When com
pleted it will be a handsome and stately
ediicc. and one of the finest churches in
the city.
The congregation has outgrown the
present structure, and it has kept pace
with the growth of the city. The old
church on the corner of Eighteenth and
Ferguson streets was built in the year
1865, and has been used continuously as a
place Of worship ever since. The mem
bership has increased steadily and the
structure is entirely too small for the CON
gregation that attend regularly.
The church was never in a more
healthy and growing condition than at
present, and thus it becomes necessary to
secure new, handsome and commodious
quarters. The church viii be erected this
vear without n Doubt.
