A BILL has been introduced in the
lower House of our Legislature by Rep
resentative Crook, fixing the mailman
standard of passenger traffic at 3 cents
per mile. This will most likely become
law, railroads are, to all appearances,
willing to concede the rate.

Special to the Sterling News

BRUSH, Colo, Jan. 8, 1885. -On
Wednesday evening Joe McNeal and
brother, Chas. Taylor and some others
had grand spree. They undertook to
run the town. About the first man tack
led was Frank Jochum, sitting quietly
in the store of Black & Kram. Tailor
entered, looked at Jochum a minute,
threw him ont the door, and hit him on
the head with his revolver, making a
bad cash. He gave himself up, and paid
his fine. Thence he went to the Billiard
Hall and undertook to kill Proprietor
Downs, who escaped him, and caused his
arrest. While making arrest Constable
Gilbertson was compelled to shoot him,
the ball taking effect in the side of his
head, but not seriously wounding him.
At the time of arrest. Taylor and the
other parties were shooting and bowling
in the Billiard Hall. Joe McNeal was
also arrested, having previously shot
Jas. Holland while trying to make the
latter DANCE. McNeal escaped from the
court room while being examined before
Judge Cheadle, and has not been caught.
Taylor is under one thousand dollars
bail to appear at the next term Of Dis
trict Court. He was unable to furnish
bail up to Friday morning. tits ru-
mored thata former Brushite is at foot
of all the trouble and is giving the
gang all assistance.
BRUSH, Friday P. M.-They have
caught McNeal at Benkelman, Neb., and
will have him back at Brush tonight.

Henderson had been school mates in

looking to a reciprocity arrangement with
the British West Indies, has been practi-

the majority Of the ministers are opposed

ground that the advantages offered tho
British West Indies are doubtful. In view
of the probability OF similar treaties being
concluded by the United States with Cnba
