ssGoBBLE!,,
The Entertainment at the Presbyterian
Church a Grand Success.

As was announced the 'gobble" enter
tainment at the Presbyterian church last
evening was a grand success in every
particular. There were at least 300 peo-
pie in attendance, Of whom $50 took sup
per.
Rev r. Il. Field, who was chiefly in
strumental in getting up the entertain
ment, had charge of and conducted the
exercises. The programme opened with
the rendition of the Scotch Symphony"
on the organ by Prof Il. j. Pasmore,
which was exceedingly fine. Aquartette
consisting OF Miss Minnie Gillian, Mrs.
Marsh and Messrs. Pasmore and Nc
Candlish then sang 80, Hush Thee,
My Baby" Next came Miss Minnie
Gillian who sang There's a Path by the
River with extraordinary sweetness, and
being loudly called for, again appeared
and sang THE Three Old Maids" Mr.
John McCandlish sang ''The Kings
Champion with fine effect and style.
"Stephanie'' was next rendered by Prof.
Pasmore, and was highly appreciated by
the audience. Mrs. j. G. Pratt follow
ed, singing the "Fisherman's Bride"
which was one of the finest things in the
programme. Next on the list came
"Gobble," by Prof Pasmore and Miss
Minnie Gillian, which was followed by a
song by Mrs. Marsh entitled, Sweet %
the Milkmaid the Plowboy Sang" The
musical programme closed with a superb
rendition of Gloria" by Prof Pasmore
on the organ, with which the audience
was especially delighted. Every part
and piece in the entire programme was
greeted with prolonged applause by the
audience. Next in order was the fine
supper which was served in the church
parlors adjoining, and the balance of the
evening was devoted to social matters.

A DANGEROUS HORSE.
A Stallion That Makes War on al
P~assers-by.

Passers-by.
The information has been brought to
Cheyenne within the past two or three
days that there is a very vicious and dan
gerous animal running at large on the
ranges between Cheyenne and Fort Col
Inns, which makes it absolutely dangerous
for travellers to pass that way. The ami
NAL is owned by Messrs. Ray x Hunter,
but thus far it does not appear that these
gentlemen are aware of the dangerous
pr~oclivities Of the stallion, for if such
were the case it is more than probable that
they would see that the horse is taken
care of. The animal referred to runs
with a band of horses which traverses
the ranges in close proximity to the road,
and whenever travellers come along, es-
pecially if they have other horses with
them, the stallion charges upon them in a
most furious and dangerous manner. So
bad has he become that many of the
ranchmen and others residing in that re-
gion go armed whenever they pass up OF
down the road, and it is probably but a
question of time when he will be killed by
some Of them. Lately a gentleman re-
siding in Cheyenne accompanied by his
wife were driving to Fort Collins when
they were attacked by the stallion and
only succeeded in escaping from him
through the Aeetness of the team the
party was driving. As it was the infuri-
ated animal in kicking at the buggy hit
both of the wheels, and the lady just
barely escaped being hit. On another oc-
casion a gentleman coming this way was
attacked by this horse, who after having
been beaten over the head with a club by
the man, turned viciously and kicked the
horse he was driving very badly.
Both man and horse had a very narrow
escape. 1t is actually dangerous to travel
over the road alllded to while this ami.
NAL is running at large.

DALE CREEK BRIDGE.
II Is Being Repaired and Materially
strengthened.

An undertaking of considerable magni-
tude wa commenced by the Union Pacific
Railway company at Dale creek bridge
day before yesterday, and one which will
take at least two weeks to complete. The
matter referred to is this: The girders of
each span Of the bridge are to be taken
out and vastly stronger and more substan-
tial ones put in their places. Heretofore
when extraordinary heavy trains have
passed over the bridge it has been appar-
ent that the structure has been percepti-
bly, shaken, and there have been slight
indications that the bridge was gradually
weakening. An investigation by compe-
tent engineers has demonstrated the fact
that this was due to the weakness Of the
girders. There are seventeen spans to
the bridge, each being fifty feet, and the
workmen and engineers employed to do
this work are capable, as has already been
shown, of putting in a new girder for one
span each day. At this rate it will take
more than two weeks yet, and in the
meantime no trains will pass over the
bridge in either direction between s a. IN.
and 4 p. m. of each day, giving eight
hours each day for the work. When the
warm weather again the wooden
structure at the west end, and which now
of course forms a portion OF the bridge,
is to be removed, and rock will supply the
place which it now occupies.

An embryo riot, or rather a riot on a
small scale, occurred in a small boarding
house at the west end yesterday which
created general excitement for a time
among the residents of that portion of the
city. Two soldiers who had imbibed a
little too much bulge, came along that
way and made an attack on the place al
luded to, and not only drove out the
female inmates, but took possession Of
the house themselves and locked the
door. They then proceeded to smash up
about everything in the house, until be-
coming alarmed for fear the police would
reach the scene of action too soon for
them, they cawled out of the windows
and made their escape, but later on they
were both arrested and lodged in the
calaboose.

REsuMING WORK.
The Affairs at Running water at Length
on he Move.


Good news at last comes from Running
Water, which has been a very unfortunate
locality since the mines at that place shut
down more than a year age. The Great
Wyoming Mining company, it will be re-
membered, spent some $40,0 600 or more at
that place and not only built large mill
and put in a crusher, but expended much
money in other necessary machinery and
apparatus, and at one time had nearly 100
men in their employ. A collapse came,
however. not because the mines were not
good ones and rich in ore, but because of
other reasons which need not be men.
toned here. During the interval that has
elapsed since the mines shut down. the
company has not been inactive. With
the assistance of certain parties East who
are virtually connected with the company,
it has been able to come to the front
again. The company has not only been
able to arrange satisfactorily all litigation
into which it was forced, but it has also
paid up and discharged all its just liabili-
ties, 80 that now it is ready for business
again. Recently Mr.. II. Mcfarland, the
new superintendent of the Great Wyo
ming Mining company, has arrived at
Running Water and taken charge of mat
tiers. Nearly ten days ago the mill re-
sumed operations and qnite a force of men
have been set to work. 1t is the design
of the company to now give the mines
there a thorough test in order to ascertain
just what they are, and it is predicted by
all who are familiar with them that the
time is not far distant when Running
Water will blossom out into a rich mining
camp.

! NOTED LAWYER IN TROUBLE.

Charged With EmbezzIement and a
 Petition Offered to Dfsbar THfm-A Sem
 satfon in Legal Circles at Boston.
 BOSTON, Sept. 21.-Boston is on the eve of startling sensation, involving the repu- tation of one Of her most prominent lawyers and politicians. Only few days ago Henry M. Plumer, treasurer of the N orway Plains Savings bank of New Hampshire, made a motion in the Superior court for the dis bar ment of Edward P. Brown, the distinguished lawyer, who, being at that time the Repub- lican leader of the State House of Represen- tatives, so ably opposed Governor Butler in the famous Tewksbury almshouse case in 1883. It was charged that Brown had col lected nearly $20, ,0O0 for the bank and under the plea that the case was still pending had put the bank officers off from time to time; finally when further concealnent was impos- sible, confessing that he had collected the money, misappropriated it, and was unable to restore it. Another similar case of incorporation on Browns part came to light to-day. Atwell and Luce of New York, architects, were some time ago awarded the first and second prizes for plans for the new Boston library. Atwell took the first prize of $4,O00 and Luce the second prize of 5000 They gave Brown power of attorney to collect the money. Some time thereafter Brown sent $500 to each of them Since this payment they have petitioned in vain for the balance. A few days ago Brown sent word to Bruce that if he would come to Boston he would pay the balance. Luce came to Boston to-day and went direct to Browns office where he found the clerks all absent and the sheriff in charge. Luce sub- sequently met Brown on the street and the latter said his bank account had been at tached and he could not pay the money. Since that time Brown has suddenly disap- peared. The street is alive with rumors of corruption concerning him. It is alleged that he met 8 friend on the street, burst into tears and confessed that he was ruined man and that wine and women had caused his downfall Brown is young man of fine personal ap- pearance, having a magnificent form and handsome face There is considerable sym pathy felt for him as it is believed that his ruin has resulted from moral weakness and too great self-esteem resulting from hattery and that he is not 8 rascal at heart. He is a graduate of Brown, fine orator, brilliant debater and three years ago was prominently mentioned for speaker of the House.
