A BRAwL
In which a Cowboy Mauls a Woman
Beaten with a Pistol.

Last night, at a house of prostitution
on Eighteenth street, a man named
Hecket was badly hurt by a cowboy under
the following circumstances. 1t seems
that Hecket had a mistress at the house
named frankie, and he had been quarrel
ing with her SO much that the keeper of
the house refused him admission when he
went there last night, and when the girl
appeared at the door he struck her in the
face with his fist. A cowboy inside said
something to Heeket about the meanness
of such an act, when Hecket dealt him a
blow in the face. The cowboy thereupon
struck Hecket on the head with a six
shooter, and in doing so the gun was dis
charged, and the cowboy, who was partly
undressed, ran away, thinking he had
killed Hecket, and a rumor quickly spread
about the own hat a murder had been
committed. DR.. Crook was called and
found hat the man had not been struck
by the bullet and that the scalp wounds
he had, three in number, were made by
the barrel of the revolver. Officer Nolan
was quickly IN the spot and arrested the
mistress of the house, Jessie Carter, and
everybody there. The cowboy who struck
Heckct was not found and probably never
will he. Hecket's hurts were dressed by
Dc. Crook, and though they are painful
are not dangerous. They consist of two
cuts on the left side of the head, which
extend to the bone, and a big bruise on
top Of the head.

Yesterday Officer Nolan arrested Mrs.
Emma Jacobs, the woman whose husband
was lately tried for cutting her with a
razor, on a charge OF carrying concealed
deadly weapons. She was arraigned on
the charge, but acquitted by Judge Lee
for lack of proof, whcreupon the officer
preferred another charge, that of being an
inmate of a house of prostitution. The
woman pleaded that she didn't know that
the house she was boarding at was that
kind of an establishment That sort Of
an assertion wouldn't go down with the
court, and she was fined Sls, which she
paid. Officer Nolan says he is morally
certain that the first charge was a true
one, but he was not able to sufficiently
prove it. He says the woman has been
carrying the weapon with the intention OF
shooting another woman against whom
she has "A grudge.

HERE 1T Is.
The Contest over The City Treasurer
ship to be Handled Awhile.

-
The papers in the case of the Territory
of Wyoming on the relation of Rudolph
L. Glover vs. Isaac Bergman have been
filed. The documents are directed to the
district court and are an information in
the nature of a writ quo %iodrrdnto, requir-
ing the defendant to show why he con-
tinues to hold the position OF city treasurer
of Cheyenne in face of the fact that the
mayor and city council have ordered his
removal and appointed r. F. Glover to
the position. The papers were drawn up
by Hon. Thos. +. Patterson, of Denver,
and ceite the history of the case in detail
Hugo Donzelmann, of this city, is Mr..
Patterson's associate counsel in the case
on behalf of the relator Glover, and Mr..
Mann, district attorney, is, or o6icio, also
of counsel for relator. A summons has
been served upon Mr.. Bergman to make
answer by Sept. &c, of this year.
The refusal OF Mr.. Bergman to deliver
the books and other property of the city
to Mr.. Glover. upon the %latter's appoint
ment to the Office mentioned, by Mayor
Reel, and his subsequent confirmation by
the city council, has been the subject of
much controversy, and various opinions
have been expressed MS to the probable
outcome of the difficulty. The legal lights
of the territory differ upon the subject,
some claiming that without more cause
the mayor has no authority, under the
city charter, to remove a city official from
office, and this, it is understood, will be
the line of defense adopted by the counsel
for Mr.. Bergman. On the other hand,
the claim is made, and with moro seeming
Justice, that a newly elected city govern
ment has supreme authority in the prem
ises, and can make removals and appoint
ment at its will. However this may be,
it is to be submitted to a legal tribunal,
and the defense is doubtless filed with
great hope that ever if a Judgment is OBJ
tanned against it, the laws delays through
appeals, etc, will enable Mr.. Bergman to
hold this place until the commission he
holds expires by limitation.

MUCH MARRIED..
A Woman Who Marriex when the
Spirit Moves Her.


Information has Just been received here
that William Howard and "Mrs." Reed
have been married in the Big Horn coun-
try. The lady has had an e%ventful exper-
fence in matrimonial ventures, her present
husband being her seventh, of which all
are living and none have gone through the
tedious formalities of the divorce court.
As Miss Hopkins the lady was first mar
ried at the tender age of l6 to a Mr.. The
obald, near Fort Collins, Col, in 1868. A
year or two saw her a grass widow and
she solaced herself with wedding a gentle
man by the name of johnson, near Pied.
mont, Col. johnson soon found the mar
rage ties a little too binding, and then
the manageable woman proceeded to
Longmont and entered into the holy
bonds with a man by the name OF Davis,
The blushing bride and happy groom
accompanied each other to Lander, arriy-
ing here in the fall of 1873. BY the fall
of 1874 the matrimonial chains had fallen
off Of Davis, and his enterprising ex-part-
ner had had the marriage service read
over herself and Private Cox, of Fort
Washakie. The departure of Cox's com-
pany deprived the wife of her husbands
company also, and the lapse of a few
years found her pledged to honor and
obey John Reed, Il ranchman of the
Lander neighborhood, A family jar
dashed this cup of happiness fiom her
lips and her fist into her husband eye at
the same unfortunate time, and she
mended the shattered fragments of the
cup and soothed the pain of her injured
knuckles by taking William Howard. the
hired man at the ranch. on a trip to the
Big Horn country and there for the sew
enth time making a wife ont of herself.
All of these ceremonies have been per
formed by legally constituted authorities,
and the Mrs. Howard of the seventh cere-
mony considers herself MS much the wife
of Howard as the Mrs. Theobold of the
first ceremony did of Theobold.
A heavy hail storm has visited the

Thc Anti-Contract Labor BIN.

This country Is so vast and its interests
are so varied that it is not an easy matter
for Congress to pass any general bill
which does not appear to be hostile to
some interest. The debate in the Senate
on the anti-cOntract labor bill made this
quite apparent.
The idea OF the originator ofthe bill was
To prevent great mining and manufacture
Ing corporations from importing
Iaborers from Europe under con-
tract to work for certain
period for a stipulated price. During
the late political campaign a great deal
was said about the system Of importing
labOrers under contract. The Republi-
can party was held responsible for inn
porting contract labOrers because it was
supposed that the corporations which
were engaged in importing Hungarians
and Poles supported that party. The
point made WAS that the Repub-
licans. who were demanding a high pro-
tective tariff tor the benefit of American
workiDgmen, were insincere because they
were trying to prevent American work
ingmen from earning fair wages by i'm
porting IaEorers who were willing TO
work for almost anything.
The discussion Of the bill in the Senate
showed that the Texas senators were
afraid thatif il became a law it might in
lure Texas in TWO ways. 1t might inter
fere with the immigration agents and
might prevent ranchmen from getting
cheap laborers. Senator Miller, Of New
York. SAID that if it became a law it
would prevent the working OF big farms
in the Northwest, because those farms
could only he worked prOtitably with
chean labor. He favored the bin, how
ever. because he wanted the big farms
cut up into hOmesteads.
1t would seem to be a very easy matter
to frame a bill that would guard only
against the evil about which there is COM
plant, but it seems it isn't. In pre-
pairing the anti-cOntract labor bill there
was no intention, perhaps. to interfere
with immigration agents, or 20 make it
impossible for Western Tancbmen and
farmers to get labOrers at low wages. The
only thing intended was TO prohibit min
ing and manufacturing corporations from
bringing into the country class
of people who have no
appreciation OF the comforts
Of civilization. ana who, therefore, are
willing to work for starvation wages and
to live like hogs. These imported labOrers
are Objectionable not only because they
are semi-slaves and therefore depreciate
the labor Of American wOUkingmen, but
also because they entertain cOmmunistic
notions and will certainly be among the
first IN case Of labor troubles to take part
in the destruction of property. The large
majority by which the anti-contract labor
bill passed the Senate yesterday shows
that while we want immigrants we don't
want the kind OF people that mining cor
porations of Pennsylvania and Ohio have
been importing.

The american AdchiRiSt figures out
protection majority in the next House of
Representatives. 1t addressed letters of
inquiry to each Of the lSs new members
and received answers from 80. There
were lis members reelected. The Ma
chinist reaches its conclusion from the 80
replies it received and from the position
that the reelected members occupied
with reference 10 the Morrison bill.
A careful review Of the 80 answers and
the tariff records Of the reelected men,
bers leaves the impression that the Ma
chinist is able to figure out protection
majority because it is anxious that there
shall be such majority rather than be-
cause there is such a majority.
The answers are not all positive decla-
rations in favor of a high protective tarlfi,
and, besides, there are reasons for think
ing that the MdchiniSt hasn't correctly
estimated the strength Of the tariff reform
sentiment of the reelected members.
1t is certain that the proportion of
Democrats in the next House in favor Of
tariff reform will be larger than it is il
the present House.
OF course the NdcbiRlSt claims all the
Republicans as prOtectiOnists, but is it
safe to do so? The Northwestern RepUb-
lican Representatives are beginning. to un-
deTstand that if their party is to retain
control Of that section there must be very
great concessions made to the tariff re-
form sentiment. The strength which the
Democrats Of the Northwestern States
developed at the last election alarmed the
Republican leaders. They are too shrewd
not to comprehend that the increasing
strength Of the Democrats in
those States is almost wholly due
u the growth of public opinion in favor
of reduction Of the tariff. In the very
near future the entire Northwest, and, in
fact, the greater part Of the West, will be
practically solid in favor Of tariff reform
1t Is folly to assert that Representatives,
whether Democrats or Republicans, will
not have to voice the sentiment of their
constituents. When the Morrison bill
was under consideration the protec-
tiOnists had great difficulty in keeping
some Of the Western Republicans in line
in opposition tc it.
One Of the reasons why it is not safe to
Judge of the tariff opinions Of reelected
members by their votes on the tariff bill
is that some of them, while favOring tariff
reform, voted against that bill because
they did not approve OF the horizontal
method Of reforming the tariff.
While the South and West are strongly
i'm favor of low tariff the North is by no
means a unit in favor of the present pre-
tective system. The manufacturers want
free raw materials, and support the pres
ent tariff only because they are afraid
tnat i. they advocate the removal of
duties on raw materials there will be a
great reduction on manufactured goods.
The .NachiniSt is rather hasty in its con-
clusiOns. 4 careful and candid review
of the situation does not Justify the posi-
tive assertions respecting the tariff senti-
ment Of the next House, in which it in
duIges. All the indications are that with
in the next two years the tariff will he
very materially reduced.
