The train from the west, due here Tues
day morning, arrived at midnight last
night and the one due yesterday morning
came in about an hour later. Passengers
from the Pacific coast who left last
Thursday state that they were delayed at
Squaw creek by SHOWS and a wreck on the
Oregon Short Line. After the main line
was reached another delay occurred at
Carbon, where the train lay all day. The
next day the train was held at Medicine
Bow, only twelve miles from Carbon. The
passengers eat the people of the three

a COWBOY cRIMINAL.
A Man Named Lusk steals Two Horse'
and IL Speedily Captured.

Sheriff Craig received word yesterday
that J. ]. Lusk. a criminal whose arrest
he has been seeking TO accomplish, had
been captured at Fort Fetterman.
Lusk is cowboy, who has been in the
employ Of Gardner, at his Bear creek
ranch. Some days ago he was sent to
Fort Fetternan to bring several horses to
the ranch, and was given an order au-
thorizing the delivery Of the horses into
his charge. Instead Of properly per-
forming this mission. Lusk sold one Of
the horses, and subsequently disposed Of
the one he had ridden from Bear creek.
While at Fort Fetterman he also forged
an order for a lot of bedding, which be-
longed to q mar at the Bear creek ranch
and which had been left at Altman's
store at the Fort The clerk refused to
honor the order, however, and SO Lusk
failed 70 obtain the blankets and other
articles Of which the sleeping outfit
consisted.
The crimes occurred last week, but
were reported to Sheriff Craig only a day
or two ago. He at once telegraphed to
Deputy Sheriff Malcomb at Fort Fetter-
man, and yesterday that official captured
Lusk. As the crimes Of which Lusk is
accused occurred IN Albany county, he
will be taken 20 Laramie City for trial.

Harry OeIrichs Loses Horses and Car
riages Worth s25 1000 .


A telephone message was received in
this city yesterday afternoon from the
ranch Of Hon. Harry Oelrichs, formerly
the Whitcomb ranch. and distant about
six miles from the city. which stated that
the ranch barn had been burned, together
with all its contents. Mr.. Lamson. fore
man of the ranch. was in the city, but OBJ
tanned full particulars by telephone, and
from him the facts were learned.
Il seems that at about / O'Clock in the
afternoon the men discovered flames
bursting from the roof of the stable. A
strong breeze was blowing at the time
and the building, a wooden one, burned
so rapidly that the four men on the pre-
misses were unable to save any Of the
horses A portion of the building was
filed with hay, and as no appliances were
at hand for extinguishing the fire the men
were helpless, and could only watch the
destruction Of the building and the loss Of
the valuable property it contained. The
poor horses were frantic with fear and
their fortunes were pitifnl. But the men
were powerless to aid them and became
unwilling spectators Of their horrible
death.
The animals lost consisted of the two
imported stations, u team Of coach
horses and a common horse used for or
binary work about the ranch. The i'm
ported French stallion Brudant, cost Mr..
Oelrichs $1,000, the fine Cleveland
Bay was valued at 5000, and the two
horses Of his four-horse Tally-Ho team
were worth $1,000. BESIDES the horses,
three buggies and all Of the harness, in
Guiding the four in hand coaching harness,
which c~ost-Sl2O0. were burned.
BY strenuous efforts the men succeeded
in saving the Tally Ho coach, which cost
nearly a ,OO0, and which was the only thing
saved from the fire. The exact amount Of
the loss is not known, but Mr.. Lamson
thinks it will amount to fully $25, 900.
Mr.. Oelrichs is now at Grand Island,
Neb,, where he has cattle interests. He
has been telegraphed particulars Of the
FIRE, and viii probably come at once to
this city. Mr.. hanson came in yesterday
with one team of the coach horses and
a carriage to meet Mr.. }. j. Palmer,
cousin of Mr.. Oelrichs, who was ex-
pected from the east. These two horses
are therefore the only ones that escaped
destruction.
A large number Of robes, whips,
blankets, saddles and other accouter-
mems were lost in the fire. The blaze
probobly started from a stove in the har-
ness room. The building was insured,
but there are contradictory reports as to
the existence ofinsurancc upon the horses,
carriages and harness, and in the absence
of Mr.. 0elrichs nothing definite can be
asccrtained about the insurance. Several
hundred tons Of hay stacked near the
BAN and also the ranch house were unin-
iurcd. The fire is the most serious one
that has ever occurred on the ranches of
this region, and caused establishment and
regret in this city, where Mr.. Oelrichs has
many,ffiends.
II was rumored last night that the fire
was an i~ncendiary one and MI. 0elnchs
'telegaphed to this city offering a reward
Of $500 for the discovery Of the incen-

A Bitter STRUGGLE.
The City Council Has a Stubborn
Session.
A Long Executive Consideration Of
the Nominations.
The Mayor Sends in Nearly Two
Hundred Names.

Promptly at 1880 O'Clock last evening
Mayor Warren entered the council
chamber, at the city hall, but no one was
present except the marshal and a reporter
Of THE LEADER. The mayor laid aside
his overcoat with considerable energy and
remarked that he did not care whether
the members arrived or not, but If they
failed to appear he wonld see that the
revenues of the city were augmented BY
the delinquent councilmen. He then took
his seat. and the reporter inquired If he
intended TO make any appointments.
~ don't know whether there will be
a meeting tonight, Mas his reply.

lished in yesterday San correct2" asked
the reporter.

just at this juncture Aldermen Harring-
ton, Dyer. Reid, Taylor and Griffin en-
tered. Mr.. Harrington blandly inquired
IF the proprietor was in7" No one made
any reply, but the marshal extended his
hand, which was grasped by the chairman
of the committee on public health and
cemeteries. While waiting for the other
members the mayor and Mr.. Harrington
held a friendly conversation. At last
City Clerk Jeffrey and Alderman Keefe
arrived and the members began to take
their seats.
When the roll was called by the clerk
Messrs- Dyer, Griffin. Harrington. Keefe,
Reid, Riner and Taylor responded. The
lobby vas filed and a piquant interest
was evident
"A quorum is present. announced
the clerk, and s~traightway proceeded to
read the minutes,
Il seemed probable that an exciting
contest was about to ensue, and the mem
bers were sedate and solemn.
When the minutes were approved a
petition was presented by L. Kabis
asking, in behalf Of the Anheuser- Busch
Brewing Association, leave to lasia switch
track to their buildings on Bent street
This was referred to the committee ca
streets and alleys.
The petition Of Lee Ewing. who de-
sired an appointment as policeman, was re-
ferred back to the council without any
recommendation.
The following bills were hen presented

iahed By 4 fne Of not less than $40 nor
more than $50. Mayor Warren stated
that under the rules the ordinance would
lie over until the next meeting, but if the
ordinance was neededit could be passed
by a Suspension Of the rules. Mr.. Riner
moved that the rules be suspended, and
the ordinance was placed before the coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Dyer moved that the penalty be
made g instead Oslo and s25 instead Of
$50.
The question was put on the amend
ment and was carried.
Mr.. Dyer offered an amennment that
the ordinance should be amended 50 "A to
apply to only thefhs fire limits Of the
city, and this was carried.
The ordinance was then put on its
final passage and was carried BY a vote Of
seven ayes and no nays.
The other ordinance was for the pur-
pose ofdcfning the duties Of the city en-.
gineer and was laid over under the rules
until the next meeting.
BY this time there was quite a crowd
present awaiting the appointments by the
mayor. It was evident there would be q
seance, and the initiated were noddine
wisely as to their coterie Of admirers. The
marshal made himself useful by bringing
in chairs, and.he powerful figure Of Mr..
Z. A. Slack forced its way through the
crowd and gave Mr.. Warren the particu-
lars Of the Democratic meeting at Library
hall.
The mayor then stated that he was
ready to submit his nominations to the
council. It was customary to consider
these appointments in executive session
he WA satisfied with the officers, but the
city clerk had placed his resignation il
his hands and wished to be relieved.
Mi. Harrington moved that the
council go into executive session and the
mayor and the other city officials retired
to the room Of the Durant Hose company.
All at once City Clerk Jeffrey opened the
door and thrust through an envelope and
said:
"A communication for the mayor"
With amazing CELEBRITY the marsha
carried the missiye to that individual. and
those who had been sent out into the
hallway heard an exclamation which was,
to say the least, decidedly expressive. Ii
a few minutes another appointment wa,
submitted to the council.
.One head gone into the wastebasket,'
aconiczlly remarked the marshal anc
then invited those present to take seats in
his Office, whichwere cheerfully- accepted
The council went into executive session

In reference to the bill Of A. q. Nc
Gregor, Mr. Harrington asked if anyone
knew what the city used linseed oil for.
To wash the mules feet, " answered the
mayor. Mr.. Harrington was satisfied and
lapsed into silence.
A substitute to the amendment regu-
lating the salaries Of the city officers was
submitted. The substitute made the sala-
~ Of the city clerk 81. 200 a year, and it
was moved to lay it ON the table. The
mayor put the motion and was about to
decide in favor of the negative when Mr..
Reid called for the ayes and nays. The
following was the result: Ayes, 4; nays, 3.
The original amendment was then read,
and on motion Of Mr.. Harrington was
laid on the table. =
Mr.. Harrington said that the bill for
appropriations had been delivered to him
by Mr.. Diapers bookkeeper. He stated
he was not aware he was on that commit
tee, which might be good thing for the
committee. The mayor informed the
gentleman hat he wasa member Of the
committee and at the tail end of il, too.
Mr.. Harrington then moved that the
council go into session as a committee of
the whole. The motion was carried and
Mr.. Harrington was appointed chairman.
The estimate for the current expenses Of
the coming year were furnished by Treas
urer Bergman at the request Of Mr.. Har.

After the committee deliberated about

TIE HALEY PUBLIC SCHOOL.

1t Is Closed for Vacation Two Very
Competent Teachers More Room
Needed.
The Haley public school was closed
yesterday for the summer vacation.
The closing exercises took place yes
telday afternoon, the rooms being
crowded with pa, ents of the pupils.
At their conclusion Mr.. Mcleod,
teacher of the "large" room, was pre-.
scented with three volumes of choice
poetical works and a handsome gold
pen and holder. Mrs. Butler, teacher
of the "smal!" room, was surrounded,
caught and blipdfolded by her pupils,
and led to large black walnut cane,
seated rocking armchair. These
keepsakes were purchased by the pu-
pills of the respective teachers, and Sc
lected with wise discrimination that
would be creditable to much older
persons.
The term just closed was of 10
months duration, and the most salts
factory, in every respect, ever held in
Haley. All through the term it was
commonly said that eve had a schuol
at last" The parents were pleased
with the progress made by the pupils,
and the latter We're delighted with
their school.
The attendance in the large room
was quite large, but not SO much so
as in the small one. In the latter the
attendance was as to l, as compared
with the former. Mrs. Butler had over
so pupils enrolled, with an average
attendance of GO. This is much too
large a number of children to be con.
fined in such restrained quarters, and
the district should provide additional
accommodations, and another teacher.
Mr.. Mcleod goes East to spend
his vacation, ard i, is not likely that
he will come back, as he is said to
demand s13O per school month.
This, while not too high a salary, is
probably more than the district can
afford, especially in view of the fact
that Mrs. Butler (who certainly is the
hardest worked) would doubtless
also expect an increase from her
present salary Of $50 per month, if
Mr.. McLeod's salary were increased
to $3.50.
The TIMES, in pursuance of it's pol
icy in relation to the public school, re-
Trains from further comment, and
trusts to the wisdom of the trustees to
continue to do the best that they can
for the district.

And the Parker Strikes 1t!

The ore-body recently cut into in
the lowest level of the Parker mine is
already known to be Mt least GO feet
long, as it was tapped at three points,
two of which are 60 feet apart. Tho
only question to be determined is
Does it continue in depth? And that
every miner is ready to answer: "Y es,
to dead moral certainty" The value
of the ore will be Of the usual Parker
standard.

Aud the BullMhacker Falls into Line

One of the men at work in the Bull.
whacker mine, on Deer creek, came
to town yesterday to bring the news
OF the striking of ore in the Bull
whacker tunnel. This tunnel was be-
gun last year to tap the vein in depth.
When it reached the vein, only low
grade ore was found, and rinse was
commenced to the line of the pay
chute. This raise cut into a siX-inch
vein Of solid galena ore Yesterday
morning, which is undoubtedly the
same as is seen in the shaft and upper
workings.
The raise will be continued until
connected with the shaft, for purposes
o. ventilation and drainage, and the
extraction OF ore then resumed.

LION vs.. VIENNA.
An Important Mining suit Involving
the Ownership Of Rich Ore BODY
OF Unknown Extent.

OF Unknown Extent.
The initial step in the important
mining suit announced by the TIMES
about one week ago, was taken vester-
day by Judge Beatty filing with the
Clerk OF the Second District Court
the preliminary papers i'll an iniunc-
ton suit praying that the defendants
be restrained from exploiting the
ground in dispute, and be required to
pay $4,000 damages already sus-
tanned, all accruing damages, and
costs.
The plaintiffs are T. f. Clohecv
and w. II. Greenhow, of Ketchum.
and Geo. p. Nelson and l.. f. The.
rassen, of New York city. The de-
PENDANTS are the Vienna Mining Com.
pany, OF which Chris. johnson is Su.
per'ntendent. The ore-body in dis
pute was discovered in Vienna
ground, and followed into Lion
ground.
The suit will probably turn upon
the question Of the location of the
apex of the ledge, or vein, or ore-bodv
in dispute. If it is proved to be in
Vienna ground, it will go in favor of
that company; if it is proved to be in
Lion ground, that company will win.
Both sides will doubtless employ sur.
veyors, noted mine experts, and law
yers Of recognized ability. The case
will probably come up at the October
term, and occup, two or three weeks
Of timc.
The attorneys for plaintiffs are
James Fl. Beatty of Haley, and Ben
nett, Hardness & Kirkpatrick Of Salt
Lake; for the defense Lyt,Ieton Price
of HALEY, and Sutherland s. Mcbride
OF Salt Lake have been retained.
