Two small boys of the genius American
appeared on the streets yesterday with a
rather rude sledge, evidently Of domestic
manufacture, and bearing the marks of
having been carved with a Ratchet. On
the sledge was a large dry goods box and
in the box was a full grown coyote. The
boys captured the animal at the cemetery,
where they came upon the animal with
lariats and secured it. When quite a
puppy the coyote was a captive, but it
escaped. Recently the boys noticed a
grown coyote near the cemetery. The
animal was not very wild and
would permit them to approach within
twenty feet, when it would trot away.
They concluded hat the coyote was the
one they had lost nearly a year ago.
Ropes were procured and the animal was
neatly captured. 1t was then dragged to
the improvised cage and conveyed to the
home of its captions. That sort of an adj
venture would be contemplated by an
Eastern boy with lively satisfaction and
romantic interest.

The approaching city election has re-
vived talk as to special fitness in the posi-
ton of Mayor. 1t is conceded that the
Mayor should be now, more than ever. a
man thoroughly acquainted with the
wants Of the city, and one who has had
years Of experience with the city business.
There is at least one such man in the City
Council. and many leading Republicans
are joining with Democrats in the sugges-
ton to make the election of Mayor nom
political. Two years ago, the Democrats
put up no opponent to Mayor Carey, on
the score that by experience he was well
fitted for the position. By the same rule
of reasoning and fairness, many Repubi-
cans are disposed to concede the Mayor
atty to the Democracy this time, provided
it can be given to a man who has the
requisite qualifications, and it is conceded
that the Democrats have such a man.

During the year 1884 there were over
1880 murders committed in the United
States.
The causes leading to murder in MANY
cases have been as triHiue and sometimes
almost as grotesque as those of suicide.
and youthful crime has been alarminglv
prevalent A son killed his fatherin a quar-
rel aboutchopping wood. A daughterkilIed
her mother because she would not allow
her to 90 10 a ball. A boy of 10 killed a
playmate in a quarrel over marbles. and
the same cause induced q boy Of Is to
XIII another. A school boy o years Of
age stabbed another to get possession Of
a kite. Two boys of l6 killed each other
on account ofjealousy. One boy killed an
other because he did not pitch a ball
right. A boy Off killed a boy of 10
because he persisted in going hunting
with him. A boy Of I6 Killed a girl Of Is
because he was Jealous other. Two girls.
IL and 10, respectively killed their
brother of 8 with sticks because they did
not want him to live any longer. A bow
of IA. out of pure savagery, fired into a
crowd of his associates and killed two of
them. A boy of I6 tried To kill a boy Of
IS because he would not contribute three
cents towards a political bonfire, and was
killed himself. A boy of IL was induced
to kill another after reading a dime
novel. A boy of IA killed his sister, a
baby, by holding her on a redhot stove.
The youngest ~murderers were two children
of 5 and Z, who deliberately killed their
brother of 8, because they were tired Of
him. More than 100 murders were the re-
suit Of quarrels over cards. One man
killed two others because they killed his
dog. Two men quarreled over a doctors
bill and one killed the other. -Four
women quarreled over the ownership of
a chicken and one of them killed the

The present outlook for cattle in all
parts Of Wyoming is extremely encourag-
ing. The weather now prevailing in all
parts of the Territory. as reported by
special kilograms to THE LEADER ycster-
day, Is delightfully."- pleasant Beginning
two days since the warm Chinook winds
have since prevailed, denuding the ranges
of their covering of snow and converting
it into fieecy particles that are rapidly dis
solved by the genial rays of the sun.
About Fort Laramie yesterday a high,
warm west wind prevailed, the surround
ing hills were bare of snow and the cattle
were grazing without difficulty. From
Fort Fetterman and Hat Greek CONF pre-
cisely the same reports. About Fort Me-
Kinney, where the snow took on a hard
coating, the combined influence Of the
high, warm winds and the sun was
especially marked, effectually setting at
rest all fears for the immediate future of
the cattle.

johnson County Cattle.

From the Buffalo Echo.
There is more or less apprehension felt
about the condition Of the cattle now that
the cold weather has continued 50 long
and so little wind That the cattle have
been drifting largely there is no doubt.
Reports of dead cattle having been seen
are coming in from all quarters, but 30
far not in any considerable numbers. The
same fears, however, have been enter
tanned during seasons quite as severe if
not severer than this and the round-ups
have invariably developed a much smaller
per cent of loss than was expected. The
few mild days of last week doubtless gave
the cattle a rest" and taking it all in all
there are no real grounds for much APP
prehension. Everything points to the
fact that the present severe snap is on
the wane. the storm having spent its fury
and It will be very unusual if the weather
does not give way to what is characteristic
of Wyoming, namely, a compromising
season Of mildness after severity.
