THE ARrEsIAN WELL.
Work Progressing Finely, and water

The a~rtesian well has now reached a
depth Of $50 feet. and work is progress
ing rapidly. Taking everything into con-
sideration. the well reaches an additional
depth Of 100 feet every twenty-four
hours.
A representative Of THE LEADER Wis
tied the well yesterday and found the 0 n
tractor hard at work upon the well. In
answer to a question of what the result
would be-a good flow Of water or not. the
answer was plain and straightforward,
that there was no doubt but what a Aow
Of water would be obtained. We struck
good soft water at $50 feet, and there is
no doubt in my mind in regard to the ulti-
mate result Of the enterprise.
They are now drilling through sand,
which is giving some trouble. as it tends
to cave in on them. This is a character
Of quick sand, and resembles that which
was found in the a~rtesian wells at Denver
and other Colorado points. 1t is pecu-
liar, but hard pan has not been reached
as yet, at a depth Of 500 feet, bat that is
no indication that a flow Of water will
not be obtained. The chances are that a
good and pure flow ofwater will be struck
at a depth Of from 1000 to 1000 feet.

RUDOLPH DEAD.
The Celebrated Hereford Bull Dies
Yesterday
While Undergoing a Difficult and
Dangerous Surgical Operation.

The celebrated imported thoroughbred
Hereford bull Rudolph died yester.
day noon, while undergoing a surgical op-
Grafton. Last fall the animal was taken
to the Fort Collins fair and to the Denver
exposition, and was injured to some ex-
tent while being unloaded from the cans.
The injury, though not considered dam
gerousl was quite severe. and the result
was a tumor formed in the brisket and
has continued to increase in size ever
since.
Yesterday the Hereford association,
the owners Of the animal, concluded to
have the tumor removed, and summoned
Dn- Book and Barkwell to perform the
operation. The tumor was removed, but
the animal died about the time the opera
ton was completed, having been under
the surgical knife a little over an hour.
Death was occasioned by apoplexy Of the
heart, caused by the operation.
The tumor weighed in the vicinity of
seventy five pounds. and was located be-
tween the fore legs. or in the brsket, and
was increasing in size every day.
Rudolph was, without doubt, one Of
the finest balls on this continent. At
every state or county fair and at every
live stock exhibition he carried away the
first prize, and was admired by all that
had the privilege of seeing him.
He was insured at $25, 900 by the asso-
citation, and they have refused $4,000
for him time and time again. In his
death the stock interests of tins section
will suffer a serious loss. as he was the
best bull and finest animal in America.
There is considerable discussion in re-
gard to the advisability of performing the
operation, as to whether or not it was the
proper treatment.
DIR. Hopkins, territorial veterinary,
and DIR. Maynard, refused to use the
knife, saying it was not the proper man
ner in which TO remove the tumor. The
doctors, however, that had charge and
performed the work, claim it was the
only method, and hui the matter stands.

CALLED AT LAST.
lake Weybrechi Dies Sunday Morn
ing at His Residence
From the Effects of His Recent
Accident.

Jacob Wcybrecht died Sunday morning
at 3 O'Clock, at his residence, on Nine
tenth street, from the injury he received
in his planning mill a few days since.
Mr.. Wcybrecht was in the thirty-sixth
year of his age, and has been a resident
of CHEYENNE for the past twelve years.
He was an ambitious and energetic citi-
zen, and had succeeded in amassing con
siderable property at the time Of his
death. When he FIRST came to the city
he worked as a iourneyman carpenter, but
soon after launched forth as u contractor
and builder. He was bound to succeed,
and soon after started a shop on a small
scale, having nothing but a scroll saw
with a foot lathe.
About this time he was unfortunate
enough to have his leg broken, and this
caused him to loose considerable time and
money, and gave him somewhatso a set
back, but he was bound to succeed, and
when the injured member had again be-
come whole he resumed work with I'M
wonted vigor. His business continued to
improve. and in order to meet the wants
Of his increasing patrons he at once added
a horse power, thus increasing the means
for turning out work.
Fortune smiled upon him, and o he
was able to build a large building, which
was run by steam, aad thus facilitated his
capacity for work. The building is stu
ated in the rear ofhis residence, on Nine
teenth street, and Is one of the largest and
most complete planning mills in the terri
tory.
His injury assumed a serious nature
Sunday, and a consultation of physicians
was held Sunday afternoon. Among
those in attendance were Drs Corey,
Grimes. Msrston and Maynard, their
opinion being that he had received his
death blow, and medical aid was of no
avail.
Upon this information being impaired.
Mr.. Weybrecht at once resigned himself
to his approaching death, and departed
this life like u hero, taking an affectionate
farewell Of his wife and children, remark
ing that all must pass away sooner or
later.
He leaves a wife and four children 10
mourn his loss, all of whom have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com
rap,ffv ~ tbatr to~.,-....t
Mr.. Weybrecht was a member Of the
order of Odd Fellows and also a member
of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder com
pany Of this city, and each of the organ
tions will take appropriate and fitting &C.
ton in regard to his death.
The funeral will be held Thursday from
the Catholic church, subject to a change,
as a brother, J. j. Weybrecht, of Ohio,
accompanied by his family, will be in at
tendance.
The deceased leaves his family in ex-
cellent circumstances, being worth at the
time of his death in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 and also having his life insured
for $1,000, in order, as he had always
said, that if anything should eyer happen
he would be able to leave his family in
such a condition that they would be able
to live comfortable without his assistance.
In his death the city looses an honest,
upright and enterprising citizen, his wife
Al excellent husband and his children a
kind and aifectionate father. peace to
his ashes

AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.


Your agent being in Columbus, Ga few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother,
J. IL Campbell We asked him for the news.
His reply was. AZ have two more important
cures effected by Swift's Specific to report, y
This venerable man is known far and wide
for his unremitting iabors of love in the be-
half of the poor of Columbus. 1t viii be re-
mcmbered that the Swift Specific Go. has
donated quite an amount of their famous
medicine, to be distributed by Mr., Camp
bell among the poor of the CITY; hence his
remark. He said:
II have Just seen lady who has been
greatly annoyed by a letter in one of her
hands. 1t had given her much trouble and
pain. She said she had been treated by
several physicians during the past three or
four years with the old remedies, but with
out giving any relief. l suggested Swift's
Specific, and she took four bottles and is
now apparently perfectly well. Her hand is
smooth and not single sign of the disease
left. It is marvellous how this medicine
renovates the system"
what about the 9th ar case?"
We'll, that was lady also. She had been
aifected with the eczema for four years.
Her lace, hands and arms, as well as her
body, was covered over with sores and
scabs II was one of the worst cases of this
terrible disease that have ever seen. The
suherlng OF the poor creature was beyond
expression. She tried every remedy at com
mand, including mercury and iodide of
potash, but she only grew worse. She was
In this condition when first saw the case
soon had her taking Swift's Specific, and
she has now only taken two bottles, but
every mark OF the disease has almost en-
tirely disappeared. Her strength and general
health have greatly improved. 1t is one of
the most iemarkable cures that has come
under my observation"
MI. Campbell, you have had long and
varied experience in mingling with men,
and observing their Affections and the
remedies used-what is your opinion as to
the merits of swift's specific?"
In ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class of society, and have
observed closely the variety of diseases
which ssffiict humanity. Blood diseases are
the most numerous and the most difficult to
remove. 1t is my deliberate judgment that
Swift's Specific is the grandest blood
purifier ever discovered. There is nothing
comparable to It, Therei is nothing too good
to say about Swift's Specific"

olson, the travelling auditor, found l
had undercharged, instead OF over
charged, and showing me the error, L
explained to Mr.. G., the merchant, who
refunded me the 81.
These are the charges made IN your
paper, / suppose by c. a. HawleV,
who claims the right to throw man
out of his Office who has for the past
three months labored eighteen steady
hours out of the twenty-four, faithfully
performing his duties; one whose char
acter. was never approached or
blackened with any crime, and who
holds testimonials from all companies
he was ever employed with, vouehing
Tor his good character, one whose char
acter has been fully eulogized by the
searching inquiry of q guarantee COM
pany, who have found it one they could
guarantee and be responsible for. One
who is young, has a family to look
after, and, although poor, has good
character which he has maintained
through fourteen years OF service, and
one who now holds receipt for the
balance of an account handled by three
men who were not appointed agents.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have laid the facts
before the public, the whole of which is
on docket, as examined before the
justice of the peace, and for which
assault he is held over to answer to the
Grand Jury in The sum of $500.
| am not q Mormon nor the son of a
Mormon, but have full confidence in
the good judgment of the people in this
Territory to discriminate between
actual and honest labor and that of
arbitrary, dictatorial and abusive
authority. and am satisfied when the
matter is laid before Grand Jury that
they will not admit such course OF pro-
cedure under the assumed authority of
detective or company should they
(the company sustain him in his
actions. You will readily preceiye by
your article that appeared that L am
abused and injured financially, and
branded as a thief, while he, Hawley, is
eulogised as a born detective, a man of
talent and of invaluable aid to the
receiver. l have no objection to his
being eulogised to the skies if necessary,
but have an objection to myself being
branded as a thief, liar and unworthy
of trust. while in the performance of
the duties required of me by law.
Trusting to your fairness and candor
in publishing this statement I am will
ing to leave the matter with the public.
Yours truly,
c.. MARSH.
