IN THE JAIL.
The Patrons Of sheriff craig's PalatIal
Quarters.

"
Yesterday there were eight boarders at
Sheriff Craig's establishment, exactly the
same number that drew ations ON the
same date one year ago. They cannot
exactly be termed ii happy family. because
they are not like Inmates of other lodging
houses. Their quarters are cramped,
their liberty somewhat curtailed, and their
means Of ascertaining the news OF the day
necessarily limited, as they do not as a
rule take the daily papers. Their general
health and well being is looked after by
the proprietor Of the establishment, who
is more independent than the usual run Of
hotel proprietors. He run no bus to the
trains, and doesn't care a Denver dn
whether his guests like his fare or not.
they can't move to another house.
Cell No 3 IS occupied by the Mcintosh
brothers, whose case is being tried before
the Justices court. From all hat can be
CLEANED concerning the brutal affair which
ended in the death of McGill, rum was at
the bottom Of it. Public opinion, which
does not count as evidence, however, is
decided that it was a pure case OF man
slaughter.
In cell 2 Grant and Kuehner are con.
fined. Grant is charged with playfully
raising the value of dollar notes to FIVE
dollars, and investing in small wares with
various merchants in the city. The mer-
chants didn't appreciate this sort of Ileas-
antry and Grants career was arrested
before he had accumulated enough Doodle
to buy a ticket to Denver even. Kueh-
ner is in hoe for a little matter, in which
Kuehner and his boss and a carpet and
rug are the prominent features. Kuehner,
it is alleged, cabbaged the carpet and rug
and sold them. his boss objected. and
Kuehner became one of the sheriff 5
guests for the time being. Grant and
Kuehner are happier than the inmates Of
cell 3, because no visions of a dangling
moose disturb their dreams. and they can
entertain each other with exploits in which
guns do nOt figure.
j. j. Mcclure, the occupant Of cell
No. |, is the latest arrival. He is await
ing the result of Edwards injuries. His
story Of the ARRAY, and his action in walk
ing in twenty three miles and giving him
self up to the sheriff, and the well known
character of Edwards. are points that will
work no injury to his case when it comes
up for a hearing.
Wallace, the soldier who has had two
trials for the alleged robbery of the agent
of the Golden Beer company, is the Oldest
boarIer at the jail, and puts on airs over
over the other prisoners, it is said, on that
account He arrived here Oct. 27. regis
tered his name and was ushered to room
No. s.
In cell 9 is "Old Sammie." who is
placed there for no crime, except Of being
his own worst enemy, and is probably
better here than it allowed to roam the
streets at will.
Mrs, Annie Comfort has the honor, if
it may so be termed, of being the only
female that honors the house with her
patronage. She occupies cell 9, and will
until her trial for grand larceny comes of.
The County Fathers.
1t was a quiet days session with the
county commissioners yesterday. They
sat in a row, side by side. overhauling
bills and papers. The usual holy calm
Of the county clerks office was unbroken
save by the rustic of official documents.
There was no McShane present to harrass
their spirits, and nothing was considered
but bills, which they subjected 20 severe
scrutiny. The chairman was instructed
to sign a contract between Laramie coun-
ty and the United States for the rent of
the court house and a portion of the jail
at 81, 100 per annum. A petition for a
road from a point between Egbert and
Pine Bluffs, running south to the Colora-
do line, was presented. and Jan. Goth, at
? p. IL. was the day and hour set for a
hearing. 4 large number of bills were
examined and allowed.
