\ telegram was received here yesterday
saying that Maxwell. Of the P-eller muir
der and St Louis trunk mystery. would
be here on the eastbound train. The
train being late, a largo crowd assembled at
the depot morbidly anxious To get a sight
Of the noted prisoner. As soon It's the
train stopped, and even before, the crowd
began to climb on to the steps and push
through the cars, but Maxwell could not
be seen. The train hands told thcm that
Maxwell had been taken over the Denver
& Rio Grande, but that was disbelicyed.
everyone supposing that ii was a ruse 10
keep the curious off of the train. and 80.
as long the trains remained here they wcre
explored by the sight-seekers. Some Of
the knowing ones thought that Marshal
Carr knew where Maxwell was. and he
was keenly watched and followed wher.
ever he went. The fact is that Maxwell
was taxed east VIA the Rio Grande from
Ogden, as the train hands said, and the
dispatch was probably sent ahead to de
lude people on the other road so that the
very thing which would have occurred
here had Maxwell come, might be avoided
on the real route.

t MANY YEARS.



Yesterday a scene which Is pleasantly
frequent in the boundless West occurred
at the depot in this city. The train from
Denver brought up a large handsome
man of about 45 years. He wore q black
silk travelling cap and a linen dust,r, and
as soon as the train halted he camo off
with a small grip sack in his hand and
went into the hotel to dinner. Twenty or
thirty minutes afterward the train from
Omaha arrived and a man alighted from
that train who very much rcsembled the
one first mentioned in face and dress. ex-
cept that he last one wore a heavy black
moustache while tho Others face was bare
of hirsute adornment, The party of the
first part had finished his meal and was
just coming out of the storm door when
he met the party OF the second
part, They looked at each other
intently for a second. one said,
Jim and the other said viii, " and
they fell on each Others necks and almost
cried. Mutual explanations followed.
They went into the bar room and took
each a glass Of wine and Jim went back
with viii to the dining room, and they
remained together about the depot until
the train left and then went West To-
gether, both being bound for San Fran
cisco. While they sat at the table with
busters unbuttoned, it was observable that
both wore the Lapel button of the Grand

AEERAY.
A Mans LIE saved BY a Bottle of
whisky. (


At the Five mile ranch road house on
Thursday night, a shooting affray occur
red between one of Harry Oelrichs' men
and the barkeeper at the road house,
which came near being Il serious affair.
The trouble originated in a quarrel over a
game of dice, and the result was that the
barkeeper shot at the other man, the ball
penetrating the breast of his coat right
over the heart. where it struck a bottle of
whisky and glanced off, making only n
slight flesh wound. This is the first tune
on record hat a bottle of whisky has been
known to voluntarily do Il thing of this
sort. 1t is a very common thing for a
bible to save the lives OF cowboys in shoot
ing scrapes, and occasionally a pack of
cards has been known to act as a life
preserving shell. 1t seems from the
meagre information to be obtained at the
time Of writing that Il third party, an
other of Oelrichs men, was mainly instru-
mental in causing the difficulty, and he
was promptly discharged by Mr. 0elrichs.
The other parties have made the thing
up and everything is pleasantly serene.

Engineer Gordon Ennnh.

The body Of Engineer George Gordon.
who was well known in Cheyenne,
who lost his life as the result of a collision
in the Grand canyon of the Arkansas last
Friday, was found on Thursday morning
about five miles below the point where the
wreck occurred. The river had fallen
somewhat and the body was lodged against
a rock about ten feet from the south wall
of the canyon. The head was found to be
badly cut, and there is no doubt Gordon
jumped at the moment of collision and
losing his balance fell upon the sharp
rocks and her rolled into the rapid cur
rent, which was only twelve feet from the
track. The body was taken to Pueblo
and preparations are being made for the
funeral
Previous to the shipment of the remains
from Canon City an inquest was held
there by the coroner Of Fremont county
and a verdict returned by the jury that
deceased anne to his death from a rail

SENATOR
He Passes Through the City aud Talks
About Territorial Matters.

This gentleman arrived yesterday from
Omaha on his way for a visit to the terri
tories of the Northwest A LEADER re-
porter had a talk with him in which he
said hal being a member of the senate
from a border state, and also of the terri
torial committee, it was expected that of
course he would know all about the terri
tories and he has been and is taking some
pains to inform himself He has been
through Arizona and New Mexico, and is
now going to visit Utah, Idaho, Montana
and Washington, and will post himself on
the character Of the population, the re-
sources, prospects, etc. As to Wyo-
ming, he says, living 30 close II neigh
Dor, and being in constant contact with
the citizens, | am well acquainted with
the territory. 1t has a splendid popula-
ton and is a great empire in resource, and
will be glad to sec the day when it
knocks at the door of the Union" With
regard to New Mexico he said it is well
known that he is opposed to her admission
as a state on account of the character of
the population, which is largely of the
'greaser' element The territory
said he, is well named, as it is really
nothing but Mexico over again on a mar
rowed scale. Speaking of the late presi-
dental proclamation with regard to wire
fences, he said that doubtless the hard
ships which may be worked BY that order,
will to some extent be remedied in con-
gress next winter by a plan for leasing tho
gazinr lands
