Bona Hensel is writing a story for a
Pueblo paper, called THE Old Prospec-

Bona has been both and ought to

Echo to 7. J.. Bouton, late of Illinois. If
Mr.. Bouton makes the Echo as good a
paper as Morrow has made it he will do
well.

of the new weekly, The Mirror. Vaughn
left Denver on election day, but not until
he had deposited a straight Democratic
ticket.
Editor Becker has moved his Big Horn
Sentinel to Buffalo. which will be a good
thing for Becker and his patrons and his

being a good town.

real permanent success of any weekly

sincerely glad to see it.

The growth of strength which the
Democratic party has exhibited in the late
elections will help the business of the
country by giving confidence to capital
which had grown so timid in the face of
the threatening state of affairs. The Den
yer election was especially a strong init
nation to the dynamite element which
had been courted by the party dominant
there. The majority Of the council seemed
to be in sympathy with the ~agitators
whose outrages with tongue, type and
dynamite had seriously effected the bust
ness interests of that fair city which had
been the pride Of the eastern slope of the
Rockies. The whole brazen outfit has
been struck with the Democratic pile
driver and driven deeper into the earth
than is necessary in these attitudes and
dry atmosphere.

Since Mr.. Heath has taken possession
and control of the Cheyenne market on
Seventeenth street, two doors west OF
the opera house, the change has been
simply remarkable. The place is now
supplied with the best of everything in
the meat, game and vegetable line. Spleen
did mountain and lake trout are kept
fresh on ice, ducks, geese, prairie chick
ems, quail. rabbits, antelope, elk v%enison.
the finest of everything in domestic meats
and poultry, fresh vegetables Of all kinds,
apples, grapes and all other s~easonable
fruit in great abundance, and it actually
makes a lover OF good eating hungry to
look about the place. Mr.. Heath has
started in to build up a big patronage on
merit alone, and in the manner with
which he is keeping his market supplied,
he will do it. Just go and see and you
will be astonished.

Some one has written THE LEADER
asking why il is hat so many cattle com
panies are being organized in the west
when it is generally supposed in the east
that all owners Of cattle are so wealthy.
He cannot underst and why companies
are necessary. II have heard he says,
''of people being land poor is it possible
for one to be cattle poor p
To the last question, decidedly yes. A
man may be cattle poor. That is, he
may own more cattle than he has capital
to handle them with.
The range country east of the Rocky
mountains covers an area of open country
two or three hundred miles east and west,
reaching from British America south to
the gulf OF Mexico. Going south the
bend of the mountains is to the west, and
the plain country ON the seth parallel is
not far from GOO miles east and west.

The Union Pacific has made another

For the purpose of carrying out this plan
a contract has been signed with the firm
of Browning, King Il Co, of New York,
the largest and most extensive manufac-
turers and distributors of clothing it the
world. Their representative, Mr.. G. ii.
Ryno, has been for some time arranging
the matter. He and his assistants have
started out on the line of the read by
special train for the purpose of measuring
the men. When this work is finished the
measures will be forwarded to New York,
where the suits will be cut, made and
sent to the men at the earliest possible
date. The conductors suits will consist

EIght WIN Horse Thieves.

A correspondent at Blackfoot in a letter
to THE LEADER tells briefly of a fight in
the Teton Basin between some men who
went out to bring in some horse thieves,
Thompson, Harrington and Wilson. 1t
seems that the men were e~ndeavoring es-
pecially to rescue some horses which had
been stolenby the gang from High& Stout.
In the fight Thompson was struck, and it
is believed MORALLY wounded. The out
laws were armed with needle guns while
their pursuers had only Winchestcrs,
which are of shorter range, and thus
the pursuers were driven back, the thieves
making good their escape, and taking the
wounded Thompson with them.

A gentleman who was in Denver one
night this week went to the theater with
his wife to see Davis in Arm Joslil. He
says the play was so long and tedious that
he fell asleep, and slept so long that when
he awoke, having been dreaming that he
was travelling on the cars, he asked his
wife, out loud, what station they were at.
and somehow in his immediate vicinity
the question created more fun than the
play. He thinks that Davis gives the
biggest part of his show on the outside.
His brass band is splendid and his paper
on the walls is immense. Davis doesn't
pay anything for this notice.

The scene will never be forgotten by
the few who chanced to be present. A
great sensation followed; the entire
press of Dublin devoting several col
umns each day to comment and criti-
cism on the male-female clerk. The lille
gal wife was now beyond all doubt as
to her position, and Immediately applied
for divorce, which was granted after
considerable difficulty. The three
children who were the fruits Of their
married life were claimed by her and
granted by the court with the exception
of the boy, who immigrated to America,
who was given to the father The glad
tidings of the finding of the father were
Immediately dispatched to her mother
in Dubuque, and for the first time in
almost quar- ter of century, eommu-
nication was opened between the legal
husband and wife, which resulted in her
emigration to the city of Dublin, where
few years of happy life were spent,
when she died, and was shortly after
followed to the shores of the unknown
beyond by our hero. At the time of
his death he was immensely rich, and
willed a handsome fortune to our little
heroine his daughter), also half of his
entire estate to his son who was the
means of bringing about the happy end.
But to the sons loss, he has never
been heard of since. Should he be in
existence still this little communication
we hope will be the agent to establish
some clue to his whereabouts, and con-
vey to him the news of his good luck.
Of the wronged woman and her two
daughters we have nothing to tell, for the
reason that their lives from the time OF
our last sight of them here are entirely
unknown to our informant, and as to
