temoon- The court room Was crowded
with a crowd If witnesses and spectators.
The prosecution placed before the court

sworn accounts of the oleomargarineous
matter were rather hard for Pratt, alias the
Cheyenne Kid, 10 explain to the s~atisiac-
ton Of all concerned, but the evidence
was rather weak against Moore and VIM.
Heath The entire afternoon was spent
in taking evidence. Few facts were eli
cited, however, beyond those already pub
lished IN THE LEADKR. Upon the con-
cIusion Of the case the kid" was bound
oyer.to the district court under bonds in
the sum of $500, He was unable to fur
nish the bonds and so went to Jail.
IL was intended to have the prelimin-
airy trial Of Heath and Moore to-day, but
the evidence in one case practically APP
piled to the Others. and so Heath and
Moore were discharged.
Mr.. Luke Wheeler, the, man from
whom the butter was stolen, states that he
lost 200 pounds The butter recovered
consisted of forty-two rolls, weighing three
pounds each, and ~aggregating 1856 pounds.
He has therefore lost sixty-four pounds of
butter. worth about $50. Mr.. Wheeler
lives in Big creek park, Colorado. and
will start to-day for his ranch.

ordinance was to raise the yearly salary o
the city clerk from 800 to 81, 200 Re
ferring to the ordinance Mayor Warner
stated that he was disinclined to max
any appointment pending action to
increase salaries. He was ready Il
make hi- Appointments however, and i
the council desired to receive them the
ordinance could easily be passed under {
suspension Of the rules. Mr.. Rinei
moved that the rules be suspended and
the ordinance placed on its final passage.
The motion received no second however
aud 80 the ordinance went over under the
rules.
A communication from the fire
department was read stating hat the last
election Of the fire department Mr.. NJ. P.
Hanniin was elected chief and Mr.. Ira
l. Fredendall assistant chief.
The mayor stated that he had noticed
in The LEADER an item calling attention
to the adoption Of an ordinance requiring
the city clerk to have his office in the
city hall building, and stating that the
ordinance was a dead letter. The ordi-
nance was to go into effect on the 10th
day Of January. and to show why its re-
quirements had not been complied with
the mayer read a communication from
City Clerk jeffrey, in which Mr.. Jeffrey
rendered his resignation, to take effect
when the business ofthe office would not
suffer by reason of his withdrawal.
The mayor stated hat Mr.. Jeffrey de-
sired 10 leave the city about the 18th Of
the present month. and he therefore ad-
vised that when the council adjourn it
be to some evening next week when
the appointment of a city clerk could be
considered. He then stated that a motion
to adjourn would be in order.
q The members of the council did not
seem ready to adjourn, however, and so
after waiting a few moments the mayor
stated that he hoped they could under
stand his position regarding appoint
ments. He was ready to hand in the
names Of his selections for the official po-
%sitions, but in the absence of two mem
bers of the councll-Messn. Reed and
Finnegan-he was not disposed to do 50
at this meeting, unless the council desired
to go into executive session for the ex-
press purpose Of considering nominations.
Mr.. Harrington thereupon moved an
adjournment and the motion was carried
without any reference to a special meet

POLICE POINTERS.
sinners Who Found the Way OF Trans

James Hood. the man captured by
Officer Nolan during Sunday, was ar
raigned before Justice Lee yesterday. lie
pleaded guilty to the theft Of a pair Of
blankets from William Heath's hack, and
was sent to the county jail for thirty days,
As a matter Of form he was also fined $40.
The fine will add just ten days to the
length of his soionrn with Sheriff Craig.
After serving the sentence he will prob
ably be tried for stealing the tent from
Mr.. G. M. Bradley, and will return again
to Craig's cafe. He will therefore be a
regular boarder until the spring crop Of
calves are ready to be branded.
Justice Lee also held a brief interview
with a man named Hall. This Hall had
been 50 full the other night that the court
deemed it wise to punish him for strain
ing the capacity of the structure, and not
having even a quit claim deed to $40,
Hall was escorted to the municipal bastile.
A gushing girl who appeared for the
occasion only under the name of Jessie
Carter. was accused ofnot exerting proper
care as to the order and quiet maintained
in her house. The case was accompanied
by the display of a domestic skeleton. and

THE L~AnoRER,s HIRE.
The Carpenters and Joiners Object to
Imported Cheap Labor.

Pursuant to announcement the carpen-
ters and %ioiners held a mass meeting in
the ldelman block last evening.
The object Of the meeting was to take
some action regarding the wages paid the
mechanics employed on the buildings of
the Anheuser-Busc company. About
sixty carpenters were present at the meet
ing. Labor questions were discussed at
considerable length, and finally it was
moved that all carpenters present Join the
carpenters union. The motion was car
RED by a two-thirds vote. 1t is stated
that those voting in the negative will
doubtless also join the union.
The wages paid the carpenters EN-
ployed by the brewing company we're
stated to be below those usually paid in
this city, and a committee was selected to
wait upon the foreman in charge Of the
work, with the purpose of explaining the
situation to him. The meeting then ad-
iourned pending the report of the com
| mittee.
The carpenters interested in the efforts
to have the wages kept at an established
basis state there is no intention ofinaugu-
rating a strike, but they desire that out
side contractors and builders pay the
same wages as those willingly paid by the
Cheyenne contractors. The carpenters
have been paid from $500 to
$3.50 a day by the resident contractors.
1t is claimed, however, that the men en-
ployed on the buildings of the brewing
company are paid but So. 90 and e. SO per
day. Mr.. Eberly, foreman for the An
heuser-B Busch company, .came here from
the east. The carpenters desire to ex-
plain to him that eastern prices and east
ern wages cannot be Justly introduced into
Cheyenne They assert the cutting Of
rates is unfair TO them as mechanics and
unjust to the local contractors.
The committee will see Mr.. Eberly to-
day and il is probable an amicable settle
ment will be made.

not provide for the payment of such bills

Prince Alexander intends to attack the

left to finish where they fell.
