THE COUNTY HOSPITAL
In Excellent Condition--Number @
Patients, Their Condition.

A visit to the county hospital yesterday
resulted in ascertaining some facts of in
terest to the public. Hospital Steward
Wilseck, who is always at his post of
duty. explained the situation in full. and
the reporter was shown through the estab-
lishment as far as he cared to 90. Every
thing was found to be in excellent order,
and the patients all appeared to be doing
well and getting along nicely. There are
now thirteen patients in all in the hospi-
tai and all Of them with one or two ex-
ceptions, are in a fair way to speedy re-
covery. There has not been a death in
the hospital for months, and that was Of
a party who had received mortal injuries.
SO far as a death as the result of diseases
is concerned there has not been one at the
hospital for nearly a year. Mrs. Lyons,
the lady who lost her way and who was
found partly frozen in the Grow creek
bottom nearly a month ago, is getting
along nicely and neither her hands mol
her feet will have to be a%mputated, as al
first supposed. Under the excellent
management of Mr.. Wilseck, our Hospital
is all and more than could be expected.

About one year ago, as the readers Of
THE LEADER will remember, John
Schraff was accidentally killed at the
Union Pacific Railroad yards in this city.
He at that time had an insurance on his
life which named as the beneficiary
Martin. my brother" After mis- burial
the matter wa placed in the hands of K.
w. Mann. ESQ.,, to collect Of the insur
ance company. The company objected to
the payment of the 5000 to Martin
Schratf, father of John, who, by the way.
resides in Germany. Mr.. Mann was
therefore compelled to adduce proofs from
Germany that Johns fathers name is
Martin, and thai he had no brother by the
name OF Martin. or indeed any brother at
all. The outcome of the matter was hat
the company finally decided on the proofs
adduced that the word brother as used
in the policy was a mistake. and that it
was intended for the word father" The
money has therefore been paid, and will
be sent by Mr.. Mann to the old country

An investigation made yesterday in
regard to the alleged finding of a dead
body in a house in the western portion Of
the city, resulted in finding the dead man,
but he died a natural death at the resi-
dence OF Mr.. Wilcox. The deceased,
Ernest West, was a young man who
has resided in Cheyenne and vicinity for
some tine, but until recently has been at
Bordeaux, in the northern portion of the
county. Not long ago the young man
was taken sick and came to Cheyenne,
stopping at the residence of Mr.. Wilcox,
in the eastern portion Of the city, be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets,
at which place he died Thursday after
noon. AS his friends reside in the East,
and it would not be known what then
wish would be in regard to his buriaI
until they had been communicated with,
it was thought best to have the body
taken charge of by an undertaken. Such
being the case, j. w. Both. the under
taker at Warren's, proceeded early on
Thursday evening to the residence of Mr..
Wilcox and had the body brought down
to the Warren emporium where it now is.
Parties who saw the body after it had been
brought there surmised more than had
actually happened, by which means the
rumor was started OF the finding of a dead

The Il. & M on the North Platte survey
mg--The Road Is Coming.

County Surveyor II. A. Roy returned
from a Northern trip yesterday, and wher
met by a LEADER reporter ne looked as
though he had something on his mind,
He was asked to rise and explain, and wa:
accused of having a big scheme in hand.
"Tn tell you What it is. If things work
right you will hear Of the biggest thing
this part of the country has seen yet"
He was asked to explain what this all
meant, but evaded the question and said
that cattle were looking better than even
before at this season of the year, and also
that grass in that region of the country
was two or three inches high, and that i,
was never known to be so good before.
but what shall | say you were doing?'
said the reporter. Surveying a SOFT of a
preliminary survey, you know
We'll, yes. Well. yes; a sort Of a pre-
l;minary survey. Don't put it in any
stronger light
Further conversation upon this point
developed the fact that Mr.. Roy has been
for two or three weeks looking over the
country in the northern portion of the
county, but principally along the North
Platte river.
I'm Just tell you one thing" said
Roy. The Burlington 4 Missouri are
Just reaching out for that country as fast
as they can"
How is that2"
why they have lines surveyed on both
sides of the Platte"
"Are the Burlington 4 Missouri sur
veyors IN that region now2" said the re-
porter.
Mr.. Roy-hesitating-"Well, yes, they
are there"
Gradually. it appeared, that the Bur
lingtsn 4 Missouri are pushing along the
line of the Platte as fast as possible. That
company is building in a northwesterly
direction from Kearney. Neb., and have
already pushed the road pretty well along
toward the Wyoming line, and undoubt-
eddy propose to exteld it to and into
Wyoming between this and next January.
Although Mr.. Roy did not intimate any
thing OF the kind. it is probable that he
and certain others have their eyes on
more eligible townsites along the pros
p~ective line of the Burlington K Missouri.

Everything seems to point to the fact
that the Colorado Central railroad is to be
opened very soon. Superintendent Choate,
of the Denver Pacific division, who was in
the city two or three days during the
present week. threw out several hints to
that effect, and it appears to be quite gen.
orally understood that certain steps to that
end are to be taken very soon. The plan
now is to tea up the track of the Color
ado Central for some miles down the road,
and to relay it so as to connect with the
Denver Pacific at a point about FIVE miles
this side of Carr station.

Howard Clayton was arraigned before
Judge Fisher yesterday on the charge of
larceny, he having been accused Of steal
ing a large number OF bed blankets from
Charlie Klmme, proprietor OF the West
ern hotel. The complaint against him
originally set forth facts sufficient to con-
stitute grand larceny. but it was changed
so as to bring it down to petit larceny,
and within the final Jurisdiction of the
court. The evidence against Clayton yes
terday was clear enough, as several of the
blankets had been found in places where
he had pawned them, and his conviction
followed as a matter Of course. He was
sentenced to pay a fine Of $40 and costs,
which amounted in all to the sum Of
S35. so, which amount Clayton was unable
to pay, consequently he was incarcerated
in the county Jail, where he will probably
remain for sometime.
