LIFE OR DEATH.
A Matter of this Kind TO be Considered
at the Court House To-day.

A great many people will pass up and
down the streets by the court house to-
day little thinking, and some not caring
much perhaps, that a matter OF life or
death is to be irreyocably and finally settled
there before the sun goes down behind
the western foothills. We are such a busy
people, and there are so many things to
occupy our attention, that we have but
little time to pay any attention to what is
going on except those matters in which
we are personally interested, The matter
to which illusion is made as involving the
question of life or death is the case of
William Booth, plaintiff in error, VS.. the
territory of Wyoming, defendant in error.
William Booth, as many Of the readers of
THE LEADER will no doubt remember,
vas tried and convicted at Buffalo, in
johnson county, of the crime of murder
in the first degree, for the murder Of an
old man near Buffalo, who it seems was
killed by Booth while in his cabin, and
not only was his body dragged away and
hid, but his team was taken by Booth
who skipped out with it for Montana.
After a long time and at great expense to
the johnson county authorities, Booth
was captured and brought back to Buff
falo, where he was tried. convicted and
eantenced to be hanged on the 18th day
of November last. Since he was sen
fenced, however, his attorneys, Elliott &
Barrett, of Buffalo, have instituted pro-
ceedings in his behalf which have resulted
in bringing his case before the supreme
court of the territory on a writ of error
the execution of the sentence having in
the meantime been stayed to await the
decision of the supreme court Recently
Booth made two attempts to escape from
jail at Buffalo, but both were foiled. In
the case which is to be taken up in the
supreme court to-day, Booths attorneys
have not as yet arrived in Cheyenne, and
it is surmised by some that they may not
appear at all. At all events the fate of
Booth will, without doubt, be decided by
the court to-day.

A BAD DOSE.
The Fate Of a Cheyenne Man who Went
70 Fin GOODS Couutry.U

A good many of our people, and espe-
cially some of the former officers of the
law in this city, will remember James
Warren, who lived in Cheyenne for sew
eral years and who at various times tried
his hand at all sorts of business, from a
barkeeper to at one time a silent partner
in a boarding house," such as are now
kept in Cheyenne in several places, cspc-
cially in certain localities at the west end.
Jim was an unfortunate chap, and was
always in trouble. On several occasions
he was arrested for petty offenses, but in
some way and not in~frequently on account
of some legal Tor Illegal hocus pocus he
escaped from the clutches of the law.
At last Jim got Disguised. He claimed
that everything was against him, and
after the estimable () lady with whom he
had been engaged in business at the west
end broke into his room and carried away
his furniture on the pretense that it was
her money that bought it, and especially
when he found that he would have to
scare up at least IS to commence pro-
ceedings TO get the furniture back, Jim
concluded that it was time for him to git
up and git" as he expressed it, and when
he finally LETT he confided to his attorney
that he was going to Gods country,
where they will treat a fellow decent. y

The entertainment given at Garrison
hall on the l4th inst. by the 9th infantry
dramatic club was a grand success. Critics
pronounce it decidedly the best perform
ance given by the club since its existence.
1t will long be remembered by those who
saw it.
The arch over the entrance to the fort
caught fire one morning last week about 3
O'Clock, caused by the explosion of a
lamp, and the whole top was destroyed.
Pat Wigmore, of Co. f, 9th infantry,
met with a sad accident on the 18th inst.
coming from town by the boulevard. His
hands and feet were frozen so badly that
amputation of both will follow, which will
leave him handles and f~ootless for life.
All his comrades and friends sympathize
with him and offer coincidence.
There are several cases of serious frost
bite in the hospital.
Arrangements for 4 necktie hop are in
progress, complimentary to the chevrons
with the arc.
The c~learest and heaviest ice that has
been cut in this vicinity for a number OF
years is now being stored in the capacious
icehouses of the fort.
The library and reading rooms have

SUNDAY
A spicy sermon by Rev. c. NJ. Sanders
DR.. Moore at the Presbyterian.


As had been anticipated Sunday was a
very cold day, but notwithstanding that
fact there was n fair attendance at all of
the churches wherein services were held.
The singing at the Episcopal church
both morning and evening was very fine
owing in a great degree to the re appear
ance of Mr.. w. T. Haines as a member
of the choir.
Services at the Congregational church
both morning and evening were held in
the basement OF the church, which was
very comfortable considering the GOODNESS
Of the day. On Sunday morning Rev. G..
nj. Sanders preached a sermon at the
Congregational church which has attracted
much attention and comment among the
members of that church. His theme was
"A Call to Dance, and after explaining
that in s%criptural times among some
classes dancing was INDUCED in as in part
at least as a mode of worship, he said he
wished there were more dancers in his
church-that il, dancers in the scriptural
sense in which it signifed workers for the
cause. Considering dancing as only a
pleasure to be INDUCED in he thought
that if people at the present time would
take as much pains to become graceful
Christians as they do to become graceful
dancers, the church and the cause of God

Some further facts are coming to light
in regard to the plans of the Northern
Railroad company by which they expect
to get a ioothold through the central por-
ton of the territory in advance Of all COM
p%etitors. In addition to the plans they
have laid to effect the organization of
three new counties along the route of their
proposed road, they have now turned
their attention to tue laying out of town
sites, and have by means Of government
scrip obtained a tract of land near Fort
Fetterman and are now having a town site
laid out and plated. This move on the
part of the company is to be followed by
others Of a similar character, and shows
pretty conclusively that the northern rail
road people mean business.
