Fifteen thousand dollars subscribed in
Laramie win ensure the erection here Of a
reduction plant, costing oyer three
times that amount, equipped for treating
all kinds of ores is the guarantee which
the veteran miner and prospector, John
A Smiley, was able to give last night 10
the business men and capitalists of this
city. Mr.. Smiley in the course Of
a speech among other things said: 81
will only speak Of the mining district
which I am familiar with. The mineral
belt east Of Laramie commences in the
neighborhood of Buford, on the Union
Pacific, where the strike of the ore bodies
is east of north for a distance Of ten OF
more miles, to near Table mountain,
when it changes to nearly a northwest
direction, which il holds for a distance Of
twenty miles and 1 believe further but
have not prospected it Throughout this
entire mineral district are immense
bodies of ore, practically inexhaustable
carrying gold, silver, ETC."

mittee consisting of Colonel Downey, A.

POLICE COURT SCENES.
A Number Of Interesting Cases Brought
the Justices Yesterday.

Edward Holman, the man who shot
Werth Mueller, a few nights since, and
whose preliminary examination was se|
for yesterday afternoon, appeared in Jus
tice Lees court and asked for a contint
uance of the hearing. His bonds were
renewed and the matter was postponed
until Saturday afternoon.
Edward Wallace vas the name given b.
ayoung man who appeared in Justice
Fisher court, where he was charged with
elegant vagrancy. He was fined $50, anc
the court kindly, and in a significant
manner, told him that he might go and
rustic for the money. Wallace has moi
returned and it is sadly feared that he has
left the city.
A woman named Lulu Hubbs was
brought before Justice Lee upon a com.
plant made by Mr.. Day that she had
stolen some clothing from his house. Il
seems that a dress was being made for hel
at Mr.. Days. She entered the house,
no n was in; she took the dress and left
$500 in its stead The money was not
found until after the complaint had been
made, but Mr. Day claimed that $500
more were due. The money was paid, the
case was dismissed and the gentle Lulu
departed.
Mr.. Halverson, the proprietor Of the
Cheyenne House, figured as the defend
ant in a rather eccentric case brought be-
fore the police courts. A man named
Garland claimed that he had left a check
for $50 with Mr.. Halverson. The latter
was to collect the money and
pay it over to Mr.. Garland and his
alleged failure so 20 do caused Mr.. Gar
land to have him arrested. Mr.. Halyer-
son stated that a portion. and only a por-
ton, of Mr.. Garland's statements were
true. He admitted that Che check had
been left with him, but he positively as
serted that he had paid the money to its
rightful owner. The case was continued
and Mr.. Halverson gave bonds for his ap-
pearance.
A poor woman timidly knocked on the
door Of Justice Lees office during the
afternoon. She came to seek the advice
OF the court regarding her husband. She
claimed that she supported the family.
and that her brutal husband not only APP
appropriated her earnings, but after get
ting drunk with the money came home
and abused her. She feared personal vi
%olence, and while she did not desire his
arrest, she wanted to know if she could be
protected Justice Lee told her to come
to him the next time her husband offered
any violence and the woman departed in
tears.

of the year, and so far as practicable set

show that there is not a prisoner in the
Laramie Penitentiary who costs the Ter

into a motion, which was carried, and the

4 CRANK's CRIME.
An Interview With the Man Who
SIashed His Wife.
His Personal Appearance and the
Motive of the Crime.
Convincing Evidence Obtained by
Asking a Simple Question.

Yesterday afternoon a reporter Of THE
LEADER interviewed the man Isaac
Jacques, or Jacobs, who on Tuesday even
ing slashed his wife with a razor. Since
his confinement in the county jail Jacques
has had but little to say, but he has i'm
pressed those who talked with him with
a belief that he is a crank who might
readily and easily become a maniac.
Jacques came to the bars Of the cage
when notified that a visitor wished to
speak with him. He stood with his hands
clasped behind his back. his shoulders
raised, his chin drawn well down and his
eyes staring straight ahead in a fixed and
unmeaning way, which was not calculated
to inspire confidence and trust in the mind
Of timid person.
He is a small man and appears to be in
delicate health. His frame is slight, his
checks hollow, and his complication an
unhealthy parchment yellow His long
hair was disarrangedan and about his person
was an air of physical and mental dis
order.
When asked how he felt he replied
promptly enough but in an absent minded
way. He seemed capable of making no
statement unless conveyed by answers to
questions, and when asked how badly his
hands were u he drew them from be-
hind his back and held them up as a child
might, turning them over and looking at
them in a half-curious manner, as though
they were strange things.
Partially as a test Of his mental condi-
ton, and partially for the purpose Of as
certaining the motive Of his crime, as
evinced by his answer, the reporter asked
him: What do you know about that
young man at Nh. Nagle's?" The ans
wer was short, but conveyed in word and
act all that it was desired to know. As
soon as the meaning of the question was
understood there came into the mans
eyes a wild CLEAN, the fury ola frenzied
mailman, the very acme of unreasoning
rage. Those who have observed a maniac
will recognize the expression and will re-
alize that it is one which can be felt, but
not described. For a moment it seemed
that the man would endeavor to spring
through the iron bars of the cage-he
raised his hands level with his shoulders
and with distended and rigidly bent 6ng-
ers, like the claws of a wounded eagle,

Many questions have been asked, dur
ing the past few days, regarding the quail
iications Of electors who may vote at the
city election. The law applying TO city
elections specifics that any citizen who
shall have resided in the city for ninety
days prior to an election, and in a ward
five days prior to the election, shall be
entitled to vote in said ward, provided he
has paid his poll tax at least twenty days
prior to the said election. II will thus be

now barred so far as the present election
