Something Concerning Its Importance
IN This City.

."#. "
10 has been observed heretofore in the
LEADER that the work of invoicing and
transferring the books and papers Of the
United states register office in this city
mas been done within the last few days.
a call at the land office to-day satisfied
the reporter that a large and increasing
business Is beng done in the purchase and
entry OF government land in this territory.
during the last fiscal year this office is
Saiu TO nave paid INTO the national treas
ury IN the neighborhood OF 500, 900, and
all appearances indicate, from the rush of
business and the number Of applicants,
that the rating OF the office, in point Of
value Is higher now than ever before. In
auuitlon to the ordinary presumption and
homestead hllngs, there are numerous
Applications under the timber culture

A MILITARY \
Capt. EbsteIn's Views Of The Rock
springs Situation,

l esterday morning Capt, Ehstein, Of
the 2lst infantry, who has been on duty at
Rock Springs ever since the riot there,
and who has been ordered back with his
command to his former post of duty, Fort
sidney, was a passenger on the Fast
bound train. Concerning the situation at
Rock Springs he said there are now two
companies there besides a detachment of
twenty men from the Dist with a Calling
gun. This force, he considers, is all
that is necessary. He believes, however,
that should all the soldiers be removed at
once that there would be an immediate
nc and a worse one than the first. With
regard to the general feeling at the camp.
he said.
Among the actual residents it is that
the matter be peaceably settled, hut there
are perhaps a dozen men IN the camp yet
who have an incendiary feeling, and if an
opportunity is afforded will cause trouble.
There are now about one hundred white
men at work, and mines No. /, 3 and .
are being operated. No work is being done
Mt No. 6 mine. where the recent difficulty
originated, and | have been unable to
learn if the company expect to work that
mine during the coming winter. Ii is a
very extensive one and in the event OF its
remaining idle the company will certainly
be the loser. This mine can hardly be
considered Il part of Rock Springs. 1t is
situated two miles up the gulch north of
the tow and the residents near the mine
form a separate village. No. ) Yields
nothing worth mentioning at present. All
the coal taken out is raised at No. 3, a
mile distant. 1t is expected, however,
that the work on the SHIFT at No. ) will
oon be finished and that the
mine will be successfully operated. |
found the citizens generally at Rock
Springs to be of a conciliatory nature.
They express Il desire for a speedy and
amicable settlement of present difficulties.
In my opinion the railway company has
the upper hand and is in a condition to
dictate what kind of labor it shall employ.
| do not think that one half of the miners
employed IN these mines are Mormons,
and all OF the miners previously employed,
who were not implicated in the riot, arr
given permission to resume work, aud
many have embraced the opportunity
of thus providing for the wants Of their
families.

Death While Insane, of a Young MAJ
Well known Ia Cheyenne.

The following painful information IN
from Denver in a telegram dated the Odd
This morning the dead body of Jacob
Kaufman, a well known and respectfully
connected musician of this city. was found
on the prairie near the Orphans home.
The body was entirely nude, and the
back, arms, sides and legs were horribly
scarified and covered with blood. Invest
igation revealed the fact that after I'M
dressing Kaufman had forced his way
back and forth through a barbed wire
fence eight times, as shown by the blood
and pieces of skin on the wire in different
places and hand marks on the sand he
meath. The skin on nearly every part Of
the body hung in shreds rne coroner is
satisfied that Kaufman became suddenly
insane and will hold no inquest.
The unfortunate young man mentioned
in the foregoing dispatch was a brother Of
Mrs. Max Idelman and Mr.. Ed kauif-
man. of this city. He was a teacher of
the piano, and very popular in his calling,
being also an accomplished general
musician, Some years ago his father
died, to whom he was devot-
eddy attached, and Jacob has
several times since been very seriously
affected in his mind. Only u few weeks
ago, after having made a visit to this city
he left the train while returning. at a sta
ton near Greeley, and was found the
next day wandering aimlessly on the
plains and almost exhausted from expo
sure. He was of the g%entlest nature, and
was possessed of a high order of intelli-
gence, and was a close student Of matters
of general information, that is to say, an
%omnivorous reader, His death will be
II terrible blow to his immediate relatives.
Beside the brother and sister mentioned,
his mother and sister Fanny reside in
Denver, and he has a brother. Abe, a
newspaper man, in London, and another,
Max, who is a New York journalist. All
four of the brothers are noted as being
brilliant musicians. This reporter has
known them intimately ever since they
were little boys in ST. Joseph, Mo, and
has often heard them perform in orches-
tration together. Abe, the cider, on the
violin, Jacob, the next, on the yiolincello,
Max, the third son, on the trombone, and
Ed. the youngest, On the flute, and they
made fne music. Ed. left Yesterday
morning for Denver to attend to his
brother funeral.

WORKS.
Volume M, Third Part Of the History
OF California.


We have much pleasure in making
mention of this, the latest published vol
ume Of Mr. Hubert Howe Bancroft his
tory Of the Pacific states, which is Just to
hand In this, as in the preceding vol
umes, the historian displays an amount Of
energy and genius, together with careful
study Of his subject, which betokens well
for the ultimate success of his great I'M
dertaking. The work is a monument of
American enthusiasm, and will be at onco
and forever u boon to our country. Such
A work as Mr.. Bancroft will be read all
over the world as a reliable statement of
facts and will be received where it will be
most beneficial to our country-among
capitalists and thrifty homescekers from
abroad, with unquestioning faith, and will
determine them where to come and look
for investments and settlement Mr..
Bancroft confines himself to facts, which,
in many instances, he obtains from the
most reliable living witnesses. Every
person who can tell him anything of value
for his library is regarded as a friend and
fellow worker, and as one who assists him
in his worthy ambition to make his his
tories a standard work for all generations.

into more trouble than anybody. A little
while ago he was arrested in Atchison,
Kas- on a pumped up black mailing
charge, aud a few days ago while on a
train going west which passed through
this city with the party he got into an
other trouble which the Omaha Bee tells
Of as follows.
while in Omaha he got so full OF dis
agreeable bug Juice that on the sleeping
car his actions were greatly annoying to
the other passengers. Two or three times
the colored porter tried to quiet him, but
without good results. Finally the porter
gave Mr. Bruno a strong thrnshiug, which
had the effect Of silencina the boisterous
gentleman for several minutes, but the war
broke out again. Bruno watched an OPP
portunity, aud when the porter's back was
turned, jumped on him and commenced
to chew his neck, cars and cheek. The
porter was so badly chewed up that b;
had to stop of aud return here yesterday

EARLY TIMES.
Men who Have seen cities Grow ON
the Bare Plains.

The cities of the great west have grown
so rapidly that men who are not yet old
can talk and write of ancient things and
early history from personal knowledge
and ocular observation. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to meet a mar in the west who
knew Kansas City when it was only West
port Landing, with a few struggling
houses along tho river, and who stayed
there long enough to see it grow out
from under the banks and become a popu-
lous and fourishing city. There are those
in this city who saw Denver when the
prairie dogs had the only town on the
site of that beautiful metropolis of the
Rockies, and there arc many here vet
who lived in Cheyenne before the place
had a better dwelling han a tent,
and no name at all except a very bad one.
Talking to one of those Yesterday he
said to a LEADER reporter: When
Cheyenne was started Julesburg
moved up here and a great part of
Denver, and we had lively times in those
days We had to have law, and elected
a certain man justice of the peace whose
anne | wont mention, for he is living yet
and knows more law now than he did
then. On me occasion he had a knotty
case to decide in civil law, and after the
pleadings and arguments were all in he
said that the lawyers on both sides seemed
TO be right, and being unable to decide
the case in any other way, he concluded
to..weigh the papers, and did SO on a set
of counter scales. They weighed exactly
the same, and he declared that the court
was hung. Some one said it ought to be
if it wasn't, and the Judge oyerhearing
him. fined him for contempt and gave the
money to the crowd to go and treat them
selves with while he took the matter I'M
der further advisemcnt. Lateron. when the
town had grown a little and had a coun-
Gil, there was some talk one day among
its members about buying a chandelier
for the town hall. One big fellow who
was a member and who had more money
than the Others, said he wouldn't mind
buying a chandelier himself but he
thought it would be useless, as the
chances were that there wasn'ta man in
the camp who could play on it.

IRAN rRousIps.
A Southern Colorado Mans rals About
the Texas Drive.

Aht htAaH tflANts
A reporter of the Denver Times has had
a talk with a cattleman from Las Animas
county. Col. who tells the Times man
that the Northern Colorado cattlemen
have been hoodwinking the paper, He
says; These fellows have been telling you
that they don't want a trail through the
state, but that they recognize the fact
that it is a necessary nuisance, and that,
therefore, they, in the goodness of their
hearts, are willing, nay anxious, to make
the sacrifice and establish one. Allmoon-
shine, sir, every bit oft. They're work
ing, or trying to work, what / suppose
they consider a very deep and sagacious
little game. But we're onto their scheme
and don't propose to have the wool pulled
over our eyes by any such racket They
issue a call for a meeting to establish a
trail from the southern TO the northern
boundary of the state. The natural infer.
enc from this would be that they wanted
to provide a way for the Wyoming people
to get cattle into their territory from
Texas. Nothing of the sort. They're
not in love with Wyoming or Wyoming
stock growers, any more than We arc.
No. What they want is a trail over
which they can drive Texas cattle to their
own ranches, through ours, when they so
desire.
But you will say they have issued a call
for the opening Of n trail clear through to
the Wyoming line. Very true; some Of
their large ranches lie on the border of
that territory, and Of course they want to
reach them. But you eau bet your last
cent that they never dream of letting a
single head of Wyoming cattle go through
their ranges They want to gull us
into consenting to the establishment of
this trail through our ranges and then
they will laugh at us and at the Wyoming
fellows and congratulate each other on
how they hoodwinked both of rs. But
we are too old birds to be caught by such
chaf.
Seriously, every foot OF water in Las
Animas county, and | think in Bent
county also, is owned by the cattlemen.
A large proportion Of our stockmen have
small herds and small ranges. If we al
low this trail to be established some fine
day some of our conscientious neighbors
to the north here, will drive an infected
herd through from Texas (unknowingly,
Of c%ourse), distribute the disease among
our small herds Of cattle, and from two
or three to a dozen of our small ranch
men will be ruined. The question then
arises. who will reimburse them for their
loss? VIII it be our generous friends of
the northern counties? No, we done.
want any trail established, and what il
more. we don't propose to allow it to be
done.
How about the county road scheme ?"
1T won't work You can't very well
drive a body of cattle through a county
Ike Las Animas, to say nothing Of Bent,
on a iour-rod road without food or water.
Yet this is what it amount to. We own
the water and the grass, aud We don't
propose to take any chances Of having a
herd of diseased Texas cattle share them
with Us We agree with ouI northern
friends that a trail would BE- a nuisance,
but, unlike them, we consider that it
would be an unnecessary one
