j. Faust, president of the Utah Stock
Growers Association, in the palace car
which contained most of the gentlemen of
the party, as well as the commissary de-
partment. In both Pullman cars, hunt
ing was lavishly displayed. From either
ends and along the sides above the win
dows, graceful folds and %festoons of tLe
national colors combined to produce a
most charming effect. Running the en-
tire length on both sides of the cars and
on the panels near the windows, were
paintings on canvas from the brush Of
w. C. Morris. At either end above
the canvas were seen magnificent
heads OF horses and cattle,
among the latter the Galloways, Devon,
Durham, Hereford and Texas breeds were
represented. In the center of the canvas
in the first car was seen the painting Of
a large beehive surrounded by fruits and
flowers and the words. Utah Delegates. -

sensations Of mountain scenery, pictures
of a cowboys work as he lassoes the run

The stock inspector in Montana at the
Grow agency has now in charge 500 stolen
horses awaiting proof of ownership. Full
ly 300 horses have been by this means re-
stored to their rightful owners. The
Crows have been induced by their agent
and the stock inspector at that point to
adopt a common brand for their stock.
If the Stock Growers association of this
territory would take up stray horses and
advertise them, owners would gladly pay
charges. A stock inspector says there are
now to his knowledge $50 stray horses on
Laramie plains alone.

special Correspondence OF rnE lEADER.

Special Correspondence OF THE LEADER.
LANDER, Wyo., Nov. l7.-By the
sparkling waters of a dashing mountain
stream in the Clark's Fork valley, Monta-
ma, stands a rugged pine stump, on one
side OF which has been hewed a smooth
surface, and thereon carved in rude, deep
sunk letters the legend John Stevens,
1873, aged 30" The hands OF strangers
did this work, moved by the free sympa-
thy of the frontier. On this spot John
Stevens met his death; on this spot he
was avenged, and on this spot was buried.
In one of the villages of the Shenandoah
valley there lived in 1860 two young men
whose friendship was the talk of the com
munity, But a woman came between
John Stevens and Walter Vaughn. Ada
Conway loved Stevens, and from the mo-
ment he discovered this Vaughn's friend
ship turned to deadly hate. But he still
wore the mask of brotherly love, and
Stevens was ignorant that his bosom
friend was his bitterest foe. The cannon
of Fort Sumpter echoed through the
country, and at its fierce both
Stevens and Vaughn arrayed them
selves beneath Virginia's flag. Ste
vens fought for the cause he
loved, while Vaughn wore the grey
for the full purpose of dyeing it in the
best blood Of his friend amid the smoke
and tumult of the first fight. The first
fight came, but Vaughn found no oppor-
tunity to execute his murdorous intent.
Battle after battle followed, and still the
occasion was wanting. Finally, with
Jackson's foot cavalry, the company to
which Stevens and Vaughn belonged,
found itself marching and fighting over
familiar ground. In the savage and
bloody combat at Harristown, the COM
pany fought in an old orchard on the
Conway place, every tree Of which was
known to Vaughn and Stevens. In the
desperate struggle these two found them
selves alone. The smoke of the conflict
hung thickly about, and Naughn's time
had come at last. With a hasty but
steady aim he fired at Stevens, who stood
only a few steps away. As the murder
Gus trigger was touched there came before
the guns muzzle a female form, and a
piercing shrek mingled with the report.
Vaughn had killed Ada Conway. Real
izing what had happened, he threw
his fatal weapon from him and
plunged into the shrouding smoke.
Ada lived long enough to tell her agonized
betrothcd that she had come to be near
him in the battles danger, and had
thrown herself before the assassin bullet.
At Appomattox Stevens surrendered, and
then began his search for Vaughn. This
lasted for eight years. At length he
found him on the banks of the mountain
stream in the Clark's Forks valley, a
member of a party of gold prospectors.
Stevens pistol missed fire, and he fell be-
fore that Of Vaughn, As his life blood
poured out he told the miners his story,
and as his eyes closed in death the last
scene they beheld was the struggling
form Of Vaughn, as, surrounded by stern
and avenging faces, he writhed his life
away at the end of a rope.

The following very significant special
message was received at The LEADER
office last Wednesday evening,
WASHINGTON, d. G., Nov. Is.
THE LEADER. Cheyenne. wyo.
John Charles Thompson. formerly of
Kentucky, now Il resident of Wyoming,
cousin Of ex congressman Phil. Thomp-
son, will tomorrow be appointed surveyor
general of Wyoming. Thompson had
strong papers endorsed by the whole dele
cation, and is said to be an excellent man
for the place.
tSigned) A. G. HAMILTON.
Collect. Sent by request,
Our unknown correspondent. A. G..
Hamilton, by special request of John
Charles sent this dispatch, but the whole
delegation evidently could not raise a
dollar to pay for the message, hence they
sent it c.. o. d. Charles John, formerly
of Kentucky, at present of Washington,
d. c., and recently a lodger of few days
at one of Cheyenne's hotels, thought he
needed booming a little at this end of the
line, and consequently he favored () THE
LEADER with the above quoted message.
John Charles will never make a good
newspaper correspondent unless he adheres
to the truth and states facts. As prophet
he is a miserable failure, Tor tomorrow"
came and his appointment did not. He
has not proited by President Cleveland's
teachings and therefore cannot be a good
Democrat, for Mr.. Cleveland has eau
toned him to tell the truth, and Charles
John has told a lie.
Thompson has strong papers" says
the despatch. We thought there was
something Strong about him, when he
was in Cheyenne recently; but his pecu-
liar strength became manifest in bad as
sociations and worse habits. 'The whole
delegation that took in the town with
him, while he was here, and a portion of
which is with him in Washington now,
endorsed him undoubtedly, but such en-
dorsement does not place the applicant in
al advantageous position before the pres
n authorities in Washington,
Taken as a whole, the attempt of
Charles John to start a boom in his favor
from this end of the line, by a G. o. D..
message, must be considered a sad failure.

The natural history of the Pacific coast
will find place by representative examples
in the Stanford museum with a rapidity
unparalleled in the annals of such institu-
tons. Our reasons for SO believing need
not now be stated, but they are convictions
that we-may hereafter more fully set forth.
The founding of the Stanford Museum will
stimulate like efforts everywhere in the
State. 1t will be benefit to our own in
Sacramento, and to those of lesser breadth
elsewhere, since just in proportion as the
tastes of the people are guided in these
directions will institutions responsive to
them receive encouragement and material
aid. The whole State, therefore, as well
as San Francisco is to be congratulated
that Mrs. Leland Stanford has resolved to
so richly endow the public of the me-
tropolis.

Terrible Collision on the Northern Pa
r;Gc

PORTLAND, November 29th-Particulars
of a terrible collision on the Northern Pa
cific Friday morning, few miles east of
Missoula, by which five men were killed,
reached here tonight. A special train
loaded with tea, sixteen cars, running east
on passenger time, collided with the regu-
lar freight No. -, coming west, each going
at the maximum speed. They met in
curve in a narrow canyon. The engines
were demolished, and thirteen cars smashed
to kindling wood. The tea was scattered
all over the ground. Alvin Moffett, the
fireman of No. 10; Thomas Deyine, brake
man of the special, and tramp named w.
Andrews, of Butte. Mont, were killed out
right. NJ Rech, the engineer of No. Is,
was internally injured and died a few
hours after. Newman Rice, the fireman of
the special, had both legs mashed, and
died the next day. F. Bonnard,
brakeman of No. 10, had foot
crushed, but will probably re-
cover. Another tramp, name unknown,
but supposed to be Fitzgerald, was danger
ously injured, and will probably die.
Where the fault lies cannot be definitely
stated Both trains had orders to pass at
Turah, where there is no operator, eleven
miles east of Missoula. The train dis
patcher finding the train making faster
time than expected, ordered 1t TO run TO
Wallace, fourteen miles east of Turah,
and telegraphed to No. IL to remain at
Wallace until the special arrived. The
operator at Wallace hung out green Ian
tern for No. b. but it ran by The con-
ductor of - states that he saw no light.
The operator has proof by several wit
nesses that he hung out the lantern. The
supposition is that the light was extin-
guished by the wind The accident
occurred about an hour before daylight
A temporary track was built around the
wreck, and traffic suffered no interruption.
The Coroner is now holding an inquest
