visit over the line of the Cheyenne &

with the active progress of the work.
Right of way has been secured over an
additional sixteen miles, making a dis
lance of fifty six miles from the city.
The construction engineers are at work on
this sixteen miles and graders will be
put on by the middle of next week.
This will bring the grading work to within
a very short distance of the village OF
Chugwater. From this point it is forty
i've miles to the Laramie river.

Last Friday, about . p. m, a daring
thief stole a fine horse belonging to John
Worlen, a leading stockman, from the
hitching rack in front of the store of j..
Moore, Lander. The thief struck south
at a good stiff lope. The town was com a,
paratively deserted, nearly all the men
being at the race track, one and a half
miles to the north. As soon as possible
Stock Inspector Sparhawk was notified
and took the trail, with the thief an hour
ahead.
Thoroughly acquainted with the country,
the inspector made a shrewd surmise that
his man was striking for the southern
pass of the Wind mountains, and instead
of making a stern chase oft, struck across
the country to get in ahead. In this he
was successful, interclpting the daring
rustler at the crossing OF Beaver creek
near Miners Delight, and some twenty
miles from Lander. The ready pistol Of
the inspector took the fellow completely
by surprise, and he was soon handcuffed
and on his way back to Lander.
In four more hours Worlen had his
horse, and the thief was In the county jail,
from whence he will go to Joliet as soon
as the district court considers his case.

OUR LARAMIE LETTER.
Railroad supplies, Emigrant Travel and
Cattle Driving.

Special Correspondence of THE LEADER
FORT LARAMIE, June 2l.-Why is it
that the older the soldier the greater the
crank? have noticed when a man first
enlists he is generally obliging and polite;
in his second enlistment he "growls' occa-
sionally and threatens to desert at any
little thing that may disturb his peace of
mind; in his third enlistment he becomes
a full blown ''growler," and from this
stage progresses gradually until he be-
a chronic crank-"growls' at all
changes, ''growls' if there are no changes,
and '%'growls'' at those who ~''growl.'
We have them up here in all their
various stages, and it is not considered
safe to interfere with a GROWER on one
of his bad days Why is it that an old
soldier always stretches the truth? You
will rarely meet one who will stick to the
facts of any case. He is always drawing
on his Imagination, and his Imagination is
often very fertile in this line. l have
known several instances wherein the I'M
agination had full swing, especially in one
case where the party started on a buffalo
hunt and killed three buffalo after an ex
citing chase of twenty miles. He gradu-
ally increased the number of buffalo killed
until, after telling the story for a week. he
had killed twenty SIX nsgalo. ridden
n~inety-6ve miles. and had numerous hair
breadth escapes. Has the isolated posi-
ton which the soldier fills affected his
nervous system, or is this growing
cIankincss and wild Imagination the result
of an army diet, or is it something pecu-
liarly in%stilled by the army regulations ?
This is a serious question for moralists to
solve.
| grieve to say that Fort Laramie is
pariaking very slightly of the excitement
going on all around. Although there are
trains Of railroad scrapers and emigrant
wagons passing daily through the post,
still things seem to stand as stagnant as
usual. 1t will take the scream of the
locomotive and rumble of the first train of
cars to awake historic Laramie from its
lethargy.
The Bay State Cattle company passed
through last week en- route to Montana
with a herd of 1000 yearlings and 2-year-
olds, and a very interesting time the boys
had of it crossing them at the junction of
the Platte and Laramie. 1t was at this
point that the professional education Of
the cowboy was brought into full play,
and the manner in which employees OF
the company roped, shouted, swan the
river and yelled was worthy Of Com
manches or trained circus riders. | un-
derstand that it is the intention of the
Bay State people to take their entne
herd to Montana or the British posses
sions, and from general appearances
throughout this section of the country |
believe the days of big herds of cattle are
numbered. The granger with his will
and muscle is beginning to drive them
out.
Sunday is our dullest day here, the
only excitement being a sacred concert in
