The Inter ocean Herefords,

Like many of our leading live stock
growers the Inter Ocean Hereford Asso-
citation has made heavy investments in
thoroughbred stock. The company is
composed of some of the most expert
enced stock growers in this country, who
have associated themselves for the pur.
pose ofbreeding the celebrated Herefords,
On their ranch, located on Bear creek in
this county, about forty miles north of
Cheyenne, they have a large number of
imported young Hereford cows, which are
kept in an enclosure and fed during the
winter whenever necessary during stormy
weather. They have many fine improve
ments on their ranch, in fact one of the
best constructed stock ranches to be found
in this territory, with complete water
facilities, fine buildings and barns, and
excellent summer and winter ranges for
their cattle.
This en~terprising company has recently
made another purchase of imported young
Hereford stock. Yesterday they received
from the east ninety-fve head of thor
oughbreds which cost, when landed from
the steamer, $2s, 500. The herd com
prises some very fine specimens of this
popular breed, and altogether makes the
finest bunch of imported Herefords ever
brought to this country.

SIX AND SIX.
That is the Way the Jury Stood in
in the Wallace Case.
C. W. Wilson Tried and Acquitted on
a Second Indictment.

The district court convened at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, Chief Justice John
w. Lacey presiding.
The journal record of Friday was
read by the clerk and approved by
the court.
Helen jenkins vs.. A. S. Emery; plant
lf motion for a new trial placed on file.
Territory of Wyoming Va. August
Schnakenberg; the usual order allowing
counsel fees entered.
Annie NJ. Crouch vs.. Il. A. Slack; the
motion to strike out the amended answer
overruled; plaintiff reserved an excep-
ton.
Territory of Wyoming VS., Charles W.
Wilson; indictment for grand larceny;
jury %impaneled, evidence taken, case ar
gued by counsel and a verdict of not guilty
returned by the jury.
The evidence in this case on the part of
the prosecution was mainly given by
Charles Fryar, who had already pleaded
guilty to the crime of receiving the prop
erty, knowing it to have been stolen, for
the larceny of which Wilson had been in
dieted. There was some other evidence.
but nothing direct except the evidence of
Fryar, whom the jury did not believe.
The defense claimed and, as the jury con-
sidered, proved an alibi. Wilson had
previously, however, been convicted of
grand larceny on another charge.
Territory of Wyoming vs.. John Wal
lace indictment for robbery.
In this case the jury which retired to
deliberate on their verdict at 4 p. m,
on Friday evening, were brought into
court at G o o'clock last evening. The court
asked the jury whether they had agreed
on their verdict and they replied through
their foreman, Warren Richardson, that
they had not. Mr.. Richardson explained
that the jury stood six for %acqulttal and
six for conviction on the first ballot, and
had stood thus divided all the way through.
BE and other members of the jury thought
that there was no possibility of an agree
ment. The court said he disliked to dis
charge them if it was possible for them
to agree, and appealed to counsel as to
their views. Mr.. Mann for the territory,
had nothing to say, but the attorney for
defendant thought that the jury had
made a commendable effort to agree upon
a verdict, and having been unable to do
so, they ought to be discharged, which
was done. On the part of the defendant,
Carroll then moved that the case be set
for trial anew at the earliest possible time.
Mr.. Mann was anxious to have it delayed
for a few days. Finally by agi eement,
the case was set for a second trial Dec. I.
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

The evidence given in court yesterday
by several parties who are now confined in
the county jail, some of whom have been
convicted of felony, disclosed a bad state
OF affairs in the county jail, in so far as
the feelings of the prisoners Tor some OF
them toward each other are concerned.
That there are some in the jail who are
bad on general principles, and who. if the
opportunity presented itself, would not
hesitate to kill the sheriff and break out,
has been amply demonstrated by several
attempts of the kind heretofore. For
some time it has been necessary for Sheriff
Craig to keep a special officer in the Jail to
watch the movements Of the prisoners,
and Officer Deitrick has been assigned to
that duty. The condition of things as
indicated yesterday show that some Of
these prisoners are enemies of each Other
and do not hesitate to come up into the
court room, when called for, to testify
against each other, and perjure them
selves in order to send some fellow pris.

INSTITUTE.
Proceedings of the Cheyenne Teacher.'
Association.

The Cheyenne Teachers Institute con-
vened yesterday at the Central school yes
terday morning at Q o'clock and were in
session until noon. All of the Cheyenne
teachers were in attendance and the exer-
cises were very interesting. The teachers
showed that they take great interest in
the work in which they are engaged and
in all that was done yesterday it could
readily be seen hat this institute has not
been organized for the sake of any mere
child's play, but that its objects and aims
are to accomplish results that will be OF
great benefit to our already excellent
schools.

A LEADER reporter took pains yester-
day to interview several of the teachers in
our public schools as to the number Of
pupils now in attendance, and found that
in every instance there has been a marked
increase in the number attending their
departments. This fact is true of not
only the Central school, but that of the
west end and south side as well. In
Miss Kate Davis department at the latter
school the attendance has increased from
forty one to ffty-one inside of three
weeks, The total increase in all the
schools during the same time IS at least
$50, and probably more.

shoes AN Old SAILORS story.

s'The old army shoe, said slender,
dark-haired man, twas q great institu-
tion. have pair at home that / have
preserved, not as mementos of any long
march, but as landmarks In venturous
life. 1t was the custom among the
poorly shod Confederate troops, TO re-
move, after battle, the shoes from the
dead Union soldiers. This was not done
In any spirit of vandalism or heartless-
ness. The shoes were taken off to sup
ply men who had much marching to do
In Indictment weather. We simply
changed old, wornout shoes for the good
ones worn by those who fell In battle.
''On one occasion I took pair Of
nicely polished No. SIS from the body of
man who in life must have been q
model soldier. / had worn these shoes
with great comfort through the four or
Eve remaining days Of activity incident
to the battle before had any Oppor-
tunity to examine them carefully. When
we were In permanent camp and were
allowed to remove our cartridge boxes
and shoes at night, / made q startling
discovery, or rather I was greatly
startled by discovery that I made one
morning as took up the shoes 10 put
them on.
'sOn the under side Of the Zap. or
tongue, was written In q clear, round
hand my own name. I was confident
that had never written it there. but
there on both shoes were my initials and
my family name. and had taken those
shoes four days before from the feet Of q
man killed in battle. The inference was
that had stolen the shoes Of 3 man
who was related to me In some way, /
could not put them on. / walked il nv
stocking feet to the commissary depart
ment, secured pair Of new shoes. and
have the other shoes yet.
s"The affair troubled me for . long
time. I had no opportunity for making
satisfactory inquiry ID regard to the man
who bore my name, bat In due time /
did learn that there was no family re-
latiOnship whatever. he had come 70
this county from England and had been
70 the country only few months when
the wax broke ont. He enlisted through
9 spirit Of adventure, and was the
means Of giving his relatives definite
information IS 70 his fate. The only
evidence / had bearing on points in
which they were interested was 3 pair
Of old army shoes. -" Inter Ocean.

The Plague at Plymouth.

DIR. James b. Taylor, who, with DR..
Edison and Sanitary Inspector Miller,
went to Plymouth, Pa, to learn some
thing about the typhoid fever epidemic
there, said that the origin Of the out
break could be traced to q cause which
has now ceased TO exist, but that It's
continuance seems to be mainly due to
lack of systematic disinfeCtiOn and dis
regard of sanitary precautions. Typhoid
fever has existed in o sporadic form for
several years up and down the valley in
which Plymouth is situated. Last
winter the drainage Of farm house In
which one Of the typhoid patients lived
ran ont into the snow surrounding the
house. When the snow melted the
germs contained in the snow ran into q
rivulet which emptied into one of the
reservoirs which supplied the town with
water, and which was then covered with
ice. On account Of the freezing Of the
water, the reservoir had remained nm
used during the winter. When the ice
broke up and its use was resumed, the
water had become thoroughly polluted
with the typhoid fever germs.
The first cases Of the disease In Ply
mouth were In the early part Of April.
They followed the use Of the polluted
water toward the middle Of the month,
the outbreak assumed the proportions Of
an epidemic, and soon from fifty to q
hundred cases q day were reported. In
every case that was investigated It was
found that the patients had drunk the
polluted water. Those who drank we'll
water were not infected. Members Of
the same family who, for one reason or
another, used different drinking water,
were sick or well In accordance with this
rule. The polluted water is now ex-
hausted, and that cause Of the epidemic
has been removed. It has continued 70
spread because of improper disinfection.
It is only within few days that q sys-
tenn of disinfection has been begun.

teered 10 obtain. Three days elapsed
and he had mot returned, and Gen. Rob
erts began to be seriously concerned Tor
the safety Of his staff Officer.
The general was sitting IN his tent the
fourth day when q fnlrir. or holy man,
suddenly appeared riding furiously down
the mountatn-side and wanted Go pass
the sentinel. he was almost naked, the
only garment he wore being q pair Of
dusty trousers made Of goafskin. His
hair nearly reached 60 his waist as Il
hung down his shoulders and back, and
the arms we're covered with paste made
Of sandalwood ashes mixed with castor
oil. A rude water bottle was suspended
from belt at bis waist, which also held

twenty inches long, hRbitually kept Is

wood, consisting Of ninety-nine beads
completed the equipment. The man
dismounted from his mountain pony,
leaving the beast, whose heaying TANKS
told OF hard riding, standing, and in q
dialect Of Pushtoo OF Afghan asked TO
see the head sahib. The Highlander
did not understand and motioned him
back. just then Gen. Roberts came
out, and keeping wary eye ON his visi.
tor, asked him what he wanted. The
visitor In barbarOus jargon, made the
general understand that he desired
private interview.
Thoughts Of assassination flashed
through the Englishman's mind, but,
being armed with revolver OF tried ex-
Cellence, he concluded he could hold
his own in any case, and asked the man
70 come into the guard tent near ct

said: ''Don't you know me?" It was
Lumsden, whose disguise, dirt, wig and
al, had been so perfect as to be even

A BeIeaguered Fortress.

French and Spanish troops, 40, 900 In
number, for four long years, from June,
1779, till February, 1888, beleaguered
the fortress Of Gibraltar, then held by
Gen. Eliot, with garrison Of 1000
men. The enemy erected batteries
right across the sandy isthmus. while 10
the bay they had AZ ships Of the line
and 10 ''battering ships, besides count
less lesser craft. One night the Rock
narrowly escaped being taken by SUR
prise. A goatherd having undertaken
to guide the 6paniards by path then
unknown to the English, 500 troops fol-
lowed him one dark night, and crept
silently to hollow called the Siletta, or
little chair, and thence to the signal
station, where they slew the guard.
There they awaited reinforcements from
below; these, however, were delayed.
and the garrison in the meantime were
aroused, and, eallying forth, drove back
the invaders. The Siletta was immedi-
ately filed up and the path utterly de-
stroyed and made inaccessible, and the
siege wore on through weary months.
At last furious general attack was met
by an incessant fire of red-hot balls on
the enemy's fleet 900 were thrown in
one day-till at length the battering
ships took FIRE, Is, owing TO the thickness
Of their timbers, the red-hot balls sank
deep into the wood and could not be
dislOdeed. The scene that ensued In
the darkness Of that terrible night must
have been awful indeed; and so fearful

wounded and dying that brave English
