bonds. Chairman Hoyt and Commls-
sioner Whipple were the only members
of the board present. The written ap
p~lication of the company had been pre-
scented on Friday, but no definite action
had been taken by the board for various
reasons Yesterday an amended or sup
Elemental bond was presented to the board
which was entirely satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and such being the case, the board
voted to call a special election to be held
March 26, at which election all persons
who were legal voters in November, 1884,
will be entitled to vote for or against the
bonds, as they may feel justified in
doing.
Now that the election is ordered, it may
be well to state just what the company
intends to do, when it proposes to com
mence and finish the work, and what the
general route will be.
The following from the proposition
which accompanies their application for
the voting of a subsidy will explain itself.
This company will commence the con-
struction of a railroad within ten days
after the subsidy is voted, and will com
plete at least seventy.fve miles of said
railroad within one year from date of com
mencement, and fifty miles in addition to
the seventy-fve miles within said county
within two years from the date of com
mencement. The proximate number Of
miles within said county is $50, and the
number of miles OF road for which sub
sidy is asked is lbs. The said road shall
be of standard gauge, namely, four feet
eight inches and a half in width. and the
class Of said road shall be first-class. The
amount Of subsidy 10 bonds is SO, 200 per
mile. and the bonds to run thirty years,
but redeemable at the option of the
county after fifteen years, the bonds to
draw interest from date of delivery until
paid, at the rate of G per cent. per an
mum. payable annually"
The route over which the company
propose to build the road is shown from
the following which Is also a part oil the
proposition. The route is as follows:
From the city of Cheyenne in a
northerly direction, over the most eligible
route TO be selected by the company, to a

WHEN John Slaughter rock his trip down the river few days ago, he found that Sheriff Hatch had been there before him and scoopsd in all the votes. The settlers and ranchers have tried Bob Hatch, and they know him to be staunch and true, and will keep him in office for the next two years, as they do not care to try new man in that position and ieopardize their interests by such tlial.

War of the Retellion, is yet ytun:. He WIS NJ ,jor Gen. ral ill lie army of the United Stat s, at 2 years of a .e, in the closing year of the r. bel lion. He is now over 45 years of age, and is ore f the young t of tie Brgadier Generals. 1t IS only B question or time when he will succeed, by legitimate promotion, 10 the ccm- r,aud of the Army of the United States
 Gen. Miles has absolute command over his nerves. It would be impos- sible to startle him so :hat he would show signs of pertuI hation upon his stoical face. He has as much com mand over his features as any of the Indians of the far border. An officer of lis staff in speaking tp me the other day of the great natural control of General Miles, related an incident which occurred during the garri.on duty at Fort Leavenworth. He said they were all busy at work in Gen | eral Miles office. They were seated about long table in large room where numerous windows were all open. The day Was warm, mid and quiet. Suddenly, without an instant of preliminary warning to the officers, who were bnsy with their work, d ! regular cyclone of wind, thunder and rain burst with roar snd terrific crash upon the building. Doors were slammed and papers swept clean from every desk in second the 1 quiet light of the room was as sud denly transformed into sudden gloom. The lightning that followed was dazzling, while the thunder was incessant and loud as the roar of ar tiilery. The nervous shock occasioned hy this charge Was shown by the per feet paralysis for the moment uf the staff officers. One lieutenant Was SC startled that he fell over backward But General Niles never moved ol even lifted his head. He did not stop writing the letter upon which he was engaged. His only remark wax to disect a1 orderly near by to close the windows.
 Gen. Miles has many profound ad- niirers among the Indians. They like his dignity, his seli-command and his absolusG adherence 10 hi! word. 1 have been told that Geron;- mo has said after conferring with Iii: captor that the bitterness of defea and capture was sof!ened when hC came to sec this great chief.

PecHIiaritieS of tIlc Soldier Who Ragged Geronimo.

Who Ragged Geronimo.
 General Nelson A. Miles, the sue cessful captor of Geronimo, is regarded by his aSs ciates as the lp,kirst man Tn the army. Certainly he is the most successful. He h1s absolute conf dence in himself, and has never yet undertaken anything in the line Of his profession where he has not suc- ceeded. When he was assigned to the task Of capturing Geronimo, tho C who knew him were perfectly conf dent that he would succeed, although General Crook, one of the most skill ful Indian fighters, had aft. years of effort failed. Grne raj Miles Is ] Democrat, and commended himself to the Presidents attention during wis It to Washington at inauguration time, He then sought to impress the Presi- dent with hIs plan for the settlement of the Indian que tion so that the In dians should cease to be an object of expense and source of trouble to the Govern ent. General Miles believes in the abolishment of all Indian resar vations; the breaking up of tribal e. ls tiOns, and the placing of them upon lands to which they would hold the title in seysralty. He would sustain the Indians at the beginning of the experiment, but woulI give them to understand that they would have to shift for themselves after that period had elapsed.
 The President was so favo.ably i'm pressed with General Niles that he gave his plans great attention. The fact that Ge: eral Miles had been sue cessfui in making the Oregon reser- vaIion Indians self-sustaintng after q trial period of five years was the strongest possible argument that cou d have been offered. General Miles's Later success will entitle him all the more to the confidence of the President, as the latter was very much in earnest in his desire to have the Apache outrages ended, It is certain that General Miles in the future will be t4e leading army authority upon the subject of the treatment of the Indians. General Miles is stu dent of public questions outside of military channels. If we were to have a War to-morrow he would speedily develop great figure. He is one cf inc few officers of the army, oho, hay ing had all the exgerierce Of tue great

ST. LOUIS, July Is
Carlos S. Greedy, the largest stockholder
of the Provident Savings Bank, which failed
Wednesday, makes the following statement
as to how that event was brought about:
When the board of directors counted the
cashiers reserve fund two weeks ago, ,prepar-
atorv to declaring their dividends, they found
$40, 900 in the bank vault. The night watch
man informed me last evening that Thomp-
on entered the bank building Saturday even
ing at about 10 80 and it was then undoubt-
edly that the cashier salted $4,000 of the
fund 10 his pocket, and the greatest surprise
to me is that he didn't appropriate the rest of
il. The first discovery of this shortage WAS
made last Saturday by me and it came about
like this:
''Mr, Swain. acting president of the bank,
on that day came to my place of business and
informed me that the directors had just loaned
Thompson $4,000 on 100 shares of the Crys-
tai Plate Glass Company's stock which he
had deposited as collateral. Now | am a
director of that corporation and had assisted
in the disbursements of dividends and l was
in position to know that Thompson did not
hold 100 shares of the stock. Going imme-
diately to our Treasurer Barnes, l had him
furnish me list of the stockholders. In this
list | found that October 9th, 1885, certifi-
cate numbered 378, calling for one share Of
capital stock which had been issued to
Thompson. called the attention of the
board of directors to this, but Thompson ex
planned that the other had been transferred
to him but not yet delivered He said if the
board wished it, he would return the amount
of the loan on Monday. When he did not
show up Monday my fears were realized. By
means of microscope | detected very
plainly that the certificate had been raised
from one share to one hundred shares and
that the date had also been altered. Further
examination of his books showed that his
rascslity had been going oD since 1888 Z"
His total shortage will doubtless amout to
$4,000. 1t is expected depositors will be
paid in full.
