i CHICAGO WAY.
Abrupt and Vigorous Treatment Of
a Business Man.
Commercial Principles and Promises
Violated by an Attachment.
A Novelty in Mercantile Methods
introduced Into Cheyenne.

The recent announcement of the sale
of the stock of V. Baker, accompanied
by a report hat an attachment had been
served upon his goods for an indebted
ness, has been the subject of not a little
discussion and some uniounded rumor.
The matter of the attachment has been
decided by Chief Justice Lacey, and a
full statement Of the affair is therefore
now appropriate and proper
Some time ago Mr.. Baker purchased n
bill of goods ola Chicago firm. A portion
Of the account recently became due, but it
was understood that in view ofthe depres-
sion Of trade immediate payment would
not be made imperative. few days age a
representative of the Chicago firm came to
this city, and in company with a lawyer
called at Mr.. Bakers. The visit was
made about 3 O'Clock in the afternoon and
closed with an agreement that nothing
would be done until the next day. Mr..
Baker was not a little surprised at the OBJ
iect OF the call of the representative Of
the Chicago firm, and while he realized
that he was being treated unfairly, he was,
perforce, satisfied to let the matter rest for
t~wenty-four hours, during which time he
could make arrangements for paying the
account. In violation of the promise and
in violation Of every business principle,
an attachment was obtained within two
hours.
As soon as that move was made Mr..
Baker quite naturally refused to make
any settlement. His stock and assets
amounted to 5000 over and above his
liabilities. Beginning in a small way
he had built up a fine business,
and like all business men, had both
debts and credits-bills payable and re-
ceivable. A proposition to give a mort
gage on his stock after the attachment
was served was as unbusiness like as the
other methods Of the representative of
the Chicago firm, and was of course re-
fused. Such a compromise would have
placed Mr.. Baker in a false light before
the business community, and would have
been unwarranted under the circum-
stances.
The attachment was served and goods
worth from 81, 0 to $1,000 we're taken
to a bill of about 5000. The bar Of
the city united in an opinion that the at
tachment was illegal and could not stand.
When argued before Chief Justice Lacey,
who heard the case in chambers, a decis-
ion was rendered that astonished Mr..
Baker and his attorneys, for the attach
ment was sustained. Measures were at
once taken for the return of the goods,
which had been moved from the building,
and they are now on sale at the store.
Mr.. Baker, acting as agent for the F.. E.
Warren Mercantile company, will dispose
of the stock.
The business men of the West have
taken an interest in the proceedings in
Mr.. Bakers case. No matter what their
assets may be, nor how sound they be,
they may at any time Of depression in
trade be pounced upon by some Chicago,
or other Eastern firm, and made the
victims Of this peculiar method of con
Quoting business.

AFTER A PIG.
Great sport at the west End Rink Las,
Evening.

An immense crowd assembled at the
west end rink last evening to witness a
pig race announced to occur shortly after
8 O'Clock. Promptly on time the porker,
a good natured and plethoric looking
specimen of about forty pounds weight,
was turned loose. simultaneously six
boys were also turned loose. The con-
testants in the race consisted of Phil.
Kerrigan. Bert. Thompson, Ed. Morgan,
viii Schaefer, Harry Griffith, Monk
Artist and P. Berkshire alias the pig.
Now piggy, assuming unto itself the
perogative Of its kind, intuitively realized
what it was desired that it should do, and
instantly decided not to do it. 1t sur
veyed the scene for a moment-and
placidly lay down. One Of the boys, Civ
ing a premature shout Of victory, skated
rapidly TO the pig, followed in hot haste
by the FIVE other boys. The leader seized
n of the pigs hind legs. But the leg
was creased and as slippery as anything
on earth. just as the boy leaned for
ward and grabbed the leg. the pig decided
to get up-and the how got down In
deed. he went down in italics. and those
behind him EXPRESSED their concern in
his condition by stoppipe to ask how he
felt. They didn't intend to stop but
somehow they changed their minds and
unanimously laid down in a heap on ton
of the boy. The pig trotted off a few
feet and laid down too. s~pripgiur to
their respective feet the BOYS surrounded
it and making a charge from all directions
swooped down ON the porker. Piggy
knew it was proper to run, and Sc. Of
course. he kept perfectly still. For about
two minutes a struggling pile, consisting
of six parts boy and one part pig. made
things howl. A moment later a boy
and a pig emerged from the hem. The
boy had the pig in his arms and the
porker seemed to be asleep. The boy
started for the Judges stand. but unlike Eli
he failed to get there. The pig didn't
rest easy, wanted to turn oyer. perhaps.
and somehow boy and Mig struck the

Several Hundred People Witness an
Exhibition of Pulling Power.

Eddy street was the scene Of consider
able excitement yesterday afternoon,
caused by the spectacle of a mule trying
to pull a bag of sand attached to a rope
500 feet long.
The Hoskins brothers, who do more
or less freighting and who live at Fort
Collin, were in this city yesterday.
Among their live stock was a large and
powerful mule. Somehow a dispute as to
the pulling power of the animal arose and
finally a wager was made that the
mule could not pull a bag Of sand
weighing 500 pounds, if attached to
a rope 500 feet long. A large bag
was accordingly filed with sand and
placed on Eddy street, just south OF
Eighteenth street. The rope was uncoil-
ed from a bale, and when all was ready
the mule stood near Nineteenth street.
| Several hundred men assembled to wit
ness the trial and many side bets were
made. When the word was given the
mule walked away with the load without
a particle Of difficulty and won the money
waged upon its pulling powers without
any apparent effort. Several hundred
dollars changed hands on account of the
feat, and among those who lost were
several well know horsemen, freiehters
and teamsters. The affair caused not a
little merriment and the ease with which
the load was pulled convinced those who
lost money that the old saw about the
~impossibility of such a feat was, ike
many other old sayings, a venerable

Minnie Palmer, the petite, pretty,
piquant and pleasing is coming. She will
appear here Saturday night in No Sioeet-
heart A great deal has been written
about Miss Minnie Palmer, and a great
deal more will no doubt be written. 1t is
not every day that playgoers may feast
their eyes on 81 much prettiness and
vivacity, nor does an audience often get
the chance Of being startled into such
peals of laughter and such bursts of ap-
plause over the performance of an operet-
ia actress. Minnie Palmer carries every
thing before her, and it cannot be denied
that she is full of grace in every pose and
gesture. She bubbles over with youth
and frolic, and so thoroughly reyels in the
fun Of an odd posture or a mirth- provOk-
ing grimace that her audience catches the
spirit Of j%oyousness and appreciates to the
full its buoyant freshness. When she
makes her entrance in Ny S,ceethedrt,
after a preliminary rosldde which dis
plays a voice of singularly pleasing
quality, it is not easy to describe the
effect produced on the expectant audience
by the sight ofthe wonderfully pretty little
girl in her soft pink frock, dainty
pinafore, and bewitching baby bonnet.
The outburst of applause that welcomes
her is accompanied by that murmur of
joyous surprise, which is quite apart from
a friendly greeting exte4ded to a stranger.
Some critics cayil because her pinafore
and petticoats are trimmed with lace, and
her silk stockings worked with elaborate
embroidery. Surely, they would not
wish to find in Tiny a village hoydon,
wearing bob-nailed boots and worsted
stockings No. By all means let us
have the rustic idyl with which Minnie
Palmer elects to enchant us. By her first
dance, inimitable in its facile grace and
communicative effervescence. we see that
she has a chic which not one in hundred
Of her compcers in operetta possesses.
She never misses a point in the words
she has to utter, whether humorous or
pathetic. She can also deliver little bits
Of sentiment with exquisite tenderness.
1t is easy to see, though, that she docs not
care 70 keep her fun long under restraint;
it soon breaks out in some original antic
or striking facial grimace, which delights
her audience. There is a great deal more
cohesion in the three acts of My ISpeet-
heart than in the greater part of the
operetta plots borrowed from our Gallo
neighbors, and the jokes are never coarse,
indecent, or stupid. The story very well
serves the purpose for which it has evid-
IDENTIFY been written-to muse the public
and display the versatile talents of the
principal performers.

goods, clothing, hardware, furniture, drugs
and everything necessary to make a com
plete store, as well as hay and grain. In
addition to the store, Messrs. l.. F. Kin

From the Wind River Mountaineer.
Otto Frank, of M~eeteetse, Wyoming,
writes that cattle are coming out on top.
He says there is not snow enough on their
ranges to cover the carcass of a Jack rab-
bit, and stock of all kinds is doing well.
f. Amoretti has purchased of. Simp-
son, his entire stock Of horse and cattle,
known as the II brand, paying therefor
the sum Of $1,000.
Word comes to us from all points in
this vicinity, of fine weather, stock doing
well. and a strong hope Of an early spring.
Here the weather is balmy, and spring
like; the snow has nearly entirely disap
peared again, and the outlook for early
spring work is good.
Mr.. W. B. Trosper, who has just re-
turned from a trip to Rawlins. reports
considerable snow ON the road, but not
sufficient to impede travel to any great
extent. He says business is not very
brisk at Rawlins, but reports a good deal
Of excitement in regard to the Lost Cabin
mine. That excitement will continue to
grow, and next spring will develop one of
the lveliest and best mining camps at
Lost Cabin that has ever sprung up
within the limits OF our territory. The
truth has not half been told regarding
this wonderful mine and the almost
fabulous wealth of that district.

THE OPERA HOUSE.
The Trustees Make a Change in
the Management.
Mr.. T. A. Boardman, of New York
the Lessee.
Messrs. Rhodes & Gusrtin Refuse
to Surrender the House.

1t has been known for some time that a
change would be made in the manage
ment Of the opera house. Messrs. Rhodes
* Guertin, the lessees since the house was
opened, have held il by a verbal agree
ment, by the provisions of which they
paid ten dollars for Library hall when
ever 1t was used, and ~thirty-iye dollars
for the opera house proper when it was oc-
cnpied for amusement or other purposes.
The usual public rental of Library hall
has been twenty-fv dollars, although upon
special occasions the managers have
rented it for twenty dollars. In the
course Of a year the profit from the hall
amounted to quite a sum, andthe revenue
from the opera house auditorium depend
ed entirely upon the number Of entertain
ments given during the year. The stock
holders and trustees, inclined to the belief
money than the owners, and hence de-
sired that some other arrangement be
made. At meeting Of the stockholders
held about the last of the year, it was
decided to lease the house for a stated
monthly or yearly rental. 1t was gener-
ally understood that MI. Rhodes would
have the preference over other competi-
tors in case Of an equal or ever a nearly
equalbid, and a committee of the trustees
was appointed to manage the leasing Of
the building.
Recently it was decided to award the
lease to Mr.. 7. A. Boardman, and yester-
day the papers were signed giving him
full control Of Library hall and the audi
torium at an annual rental of So, $50; $500
per month for the first six months and
1926 per month for the balance of the
year. Mr.. Boardman is a brother
in-law Of Nj. L. p. Roberts,
the electrician. He here
from New York, where he has been
closely identified with dramatic affairs and
is highly endorsed as a competent and en-
ergetic gentleman, who will devote his
entire attention to the management Of the
opera house. Mr.. d. W. Gill. at present
private secretary for Secretary MORGAN
has been engaged as treasurer. and the
new management is ready ia assume is
duties.
The lease was dated from Yesterday. but
Messrs. Rhodes Il Guertin declared that
they wonld not surrender the bouae until
the 25th of MAY. While holding il under
a verbal agreement at a certain price per
night. thew claim that in equity thew
should not be displaced until the end Of
a year. The trustees claim, on the other
hand. that Rhodes & Guertin could not
be eompelled to continue a dav "a lessees.
and therefore cannot hold the trustees to
a lease which gives rights to only one side.

Back From New Orleans.

Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Durbin have
returned from New Orleans, where they
enjoyed the exposition and suffered the
extortions of the people of that city. After
a long search they finally found poor ac-
c~ommodations where they could sleep for
three dollars a night Many visitors did
not escape so easily, however. Mr.. and
Mrs. Draper, for example, were enter
tanned at an hotel where they were
charged fourteen dollars n day and took
chances on getting anything to eat. Mr.
Durbin says the exposition is a success.
but the accommodations are so wretched,
and the charges so exhorbitant, that
many visitors leave the city as soon as
possible after their arrival. While in
New Orleans they met several Wyoming
people, most of whom went to Washing
ton for the purpose of witnessing the in
auguration. The weather in New
Orleans was wretched-a mixture of cold
rains and chilling winds. During the
eleven days Mr.. and Mrs. Durbin were
