On the boat going up the river tho
other day was couple Of whom every
body soon took notice. II vas plain
enough that they had had row, and
that the wife was rs mad as a wet hen.
When she had taken a seat the husband
walked up and down and glowered at
everybody and seemed to murmur
threats Of vengeance. On the deck,
sitting by himself, was red-shirted,
big giant of chap about forty
years of age. Presently the woman
gathered up her parcels and walked over
and shook his hand and sat down beside
him and began cheerful chat, explain
ing, however:
"My husband is terribly jealous Of
me, and want to bother him."
"All right, marm," replied old Her
cules. "Just chatter and chin to your
hearts content, and I'll larf and larf
and slap my leg where the applause
should come in"
The bold action puzzled the husband
for n few minutes, but presently he
walked up to the pair and said TO the
man:
"Are you an old acquaintance Of
hersg"

honor. Knowed her for the last thirty.

for his obstlnacy. When the boys got
alone again, the real offender asked:
"wby didn't you deny iti"
because there were only we two, and
one Of us must have lied" said Ben.
"Then why not say did itf"
because you said you didn't, and !
would spare the liar"
The boys heart melted. Ben's moral
gallantry subdueG him. When school
reassembled, the young cuiprit marched
up to the masters desk, and said,
"Please, sir, can't bear TO be liar.

The masters eyes glistened on the

smote his concience. Before the whole
school, hand I'm hanc with the culprit

The Carbonites swear They WIN Lynch
the Desperate.

Special Dispatch 10 II LEApER
RAwLINs, Wyo., Aug. believing
that Sim VAIN, the noted desperate,
was a passenger on last nights west
bound express, a maksed mob Of $50 men
boarded the train at Carbon and prepared
to take him from the officers and lynch
him. After a thorough search they de-
cided that their man was not on board,
and permitted the train to proceed, VOW
ing that VAIN would never pass Carbon
alive. Sim VAIN was a member Of a
band Of train wreckers, horse thieves and
murderers who iourished in this section
in 1878. Two deputy sheriffs from Carbon
who were in pursuit of them were am
pushed and shot down, one of the
band, Dutch Charley, was taken from
the train there in 1879 and lynched, and
the Carbonites vow they will metc out the
same fate to Wabn. VAIN was captured
in Montana recently and is now en-
route for this place in charge Of officers.
They were warned that the Carbonites
would likely intercept them and they
stopped off at Laramie with their prisoner,
where they now are. Sheriff Rankin
leaves for that place tonight and will try
to devise some plan for landing VAIN
safely in Rawlins Jail.

DE WAIT
Has some Company Back to his Old
Place In the PenitentIary.

"
Deputy United States Marshal Sim
Cantrell, OF Denver, arrived here last
night with De Walt, the habeas corpus
seeking defaulting banker of Leadville
and two other c%onyicts for the Laramie
penitentiary. The other TWO are Isaac
w. Huff and Leopold Oppenheim. Huff
was a Denver letter carrier who took to
6lching mail packages, and 0ppenheim
was assistant postmaster at London, Park
county, Col. and stole money from a
registered package. Huff gets a year in
prison and Oppenheim a year and a half.
De Walt goes back to his old quaaten
in the penitentiary. When he was re-
leased here a few weeks ago on a writ of
habeas corpus, District Attorney Hobson,
acting under Instructions from the depart
ment of justice, took an appeal upon that
issue to the supreme court of the United
States.
This necessitated the demanding of the
p%ritoner from the custody of the United
States District court here to that of the
United States marshal of Wyoming, in
default OF 10000, and Judge Hallett
this morning issued an order that De Walt
be turned over as above.
A hearing on the appeal of District
Attorney Hobson cannot be had before
October, and probably will not be had
earlier than November. So that unless
the ex-banker shall succeed in getting
bail in the sun of $50, 900, he is doomed
to anguish behind the bars of the Wyo-
ming prison for three or four months to
come, in the uncomfortable situation Of
not being able to surmise what his fate
will be at the end of that time.
A LEADER reporter went into the car
upon the arrival Of the party here last
night and found Huff and 0ppenheim
chained together on one seat. while De
Walt and a bailifi sat opposite in seats
turned toward each other. De Walt had
no manacles on, and was e~ndeayoring to
look as if he was not interested in any
thing special, aud as if he was very far
removed from the small-fry thieves op-
posite.
