Gen. Western Pass. Agent.
, 1886-10-14

The reporter visited the county jail yes
terday and looked in from the outer cor
ridors upon the comfortable quarters the
county provides for those it is compelled
to scquester.
Through open cell doors could be seen
~plethoric looking mattresses, and clean
and ample bedding. Most. if not all, of
the prisoners were in the cell corridors,
or the circular space between the cells and
the outer grating. Some were wandering
back and forward along the corridor.
These were mostly the newcomers. The
majority of the inmates were grouped in
one place enjoying the heat of the large Jail
stove. They seemed cheerful, especially
the oldtimers. These could be easily dis
tinguished by the peculiar pallor which is
the sign manual of long restraint behind
prison walls.
Nearly all were smoking and talking,
while the two colored men we're engaged
in a game of ~draughts. The prisoners
were evidently well cared for, and taken
all together, the Jail atmosphere was as
cheerful as the inevitable conditions al
lowed.

Special Correspondence OF THE LEADER
FORT LARAMIE, Oct. ll.-Consideratle
activity is at present manifest in the post.
Co.'S c. and h. are busily engaged pack
ing up their traps and getting everything
in readiness for their march to Fort Nc
Kinney, 225 miles distant. Rumors are
current that headquarters of the regiment
will soon be transferred to Fort McKin-
ney. so we anxiously await the extension
of the Cheyenne & Northern railroad to
that center, so that we can take advantage
of the iron horse instead of ''shank's
mare" 1t is possible, however, that these
rumors emanated from the fertile brain of
Sergt. Rogan.
Ordnance Sergt. Schuyler has been re-
lieved from duty at the post; and goes to
Point Clark, Mass, to inhale the sea
b~reezes. We are all sorry to see the old
man leave us. He has been in the SER
vice nearly half a century forty nine
years., and his best days were spent in
and around Fort Laramie. His trip east
will be his first experience of n railroad
car, His nerve and tact, displayed dur
ing the raids and massacres by hostile
Sioux and Cheyennes in bygone days will
long be remembered, and deserves more
than passing notice. On several occasions
he was left virtually in command of the
post, and this trust he never betrayed,
and although oitimes the counsellor of his
superiors. was unobtrusive and respectful.
We wish him long life and happiness.
The target season is now over, and the
post record is the best in its history.
Can't. Freeman's Co. II, however, leads
the van, both in known distances and
skirmish firing.
Ducks are scarce this season in the rivers
and lakes, but we expect plenty o erouse,
as bullberrics, their winter food are plenti-
full. A stray antelope or deer, is now and
again brought in by Buck Sam, Jack
Reynolds or Tommy Costello, our post
hunters. but long trips have to be made
for a big bag.
A great many Of our officers are absent
at present, among the number our respec-
ted colonel. ii. &. Merriam.
Our base ball club has again sprung in
to life. 1t received its death blow from
nine dusky gentlemen who passed through
here last year on horseback. The present
team is a strong one, and Cheyenne may
receive a visit frem them before the season
closes. STyx,

Manager Wynn, of the Big Horn Cat
tie company, yesterday very kindly re-
sponded to the regulation pumping, and
gave the reporter considerable informa-
ton.
The Big Horn Cattle company will
ship, altogether, 500 hundred head of
beeves this season. One shipment has
already been made. and another will leave
Fetterman on the Goth of this month. A
great deal of hay has been cut in the Big
Horn basin this year, irrigation being
largely employed. On the ranches of
the Big Horn Cattle company $50 tons
have been put up. The past season has
been exceptionally hot and dry, and the
winter outlook is below the average. The
through cattle placed on the ranges ar
rived early, and stand an almost equal
chance with the native herds. Beeves
are not being shipped very close, owing
to the low tone of the eastern market,
and the calf crop was only fair.

The reporter yesterday visited the muir
derer of Charles Miley in his prison
quarters.
Trumble was found restlessly pacing up
and down the cell corridor ever and anon
casting stolen and stealthy glances at the
bars which surrounded him. The spec
tator was irresistibly reminded Of a
wolf in a trap. In answer to a reauest
from the reporter for an interview, the
prisoner came to the outside iron grating,
and presented a full view of his dropping
figure, shiftless eye and general haggard
look. He refused to talk, saying that he
would make a statement only to bis at
torney, and would not make that until to-
morrow. His attorney will probably be
j. A. Riner.
Tumble has evidently lust fully realized
the terrible position in which whisky and
ungoverned passion has placed him. He
has the look of a man who is torn bv an
agony OF apprehension. And well may
he have. Overwhelming evidence points
to the fact that he, the sworn officer Of
the peace, one whose duty it was to pro-
tect the citizens of the commonwealth
whose commission he held, has shot down
in cold blood. one of the citizens whose
official protector he was. The evidence
goes even further than this. 1t says that
this official assassin, this deputy sheriff,
who combined the functions of a public
conservator of the peace and a private
murderer, followed up his victim with the
pertinacity ola bloodhound, and shot him
because "he was not a friend of his" No
more causeless, cowardly and brutal crime
has ever been perpetrated anywhere on
the broad face of earth, our fair common
heritage, than the murder of Charles
Miley by Charles Trumble.
AS the reporter withdrew from the Jail,
the last thing he saw was Trumble, as he
resumed his restless, uneasy tramp along
the cell corridors, and once more sent the
furtive glances of his bloodshot eyes
through his prison bars.

Singular Miniature HabItatlons IN Iofty
CIln Walls.

A gentleman who has been WANDERING
Tor several years in the region Of The
Grand canyon Of the Colorado river. tells
the scribe a strange story of the famous
chasm.
One day while in pursuit of game, he
noticed some irregular curves or indenta-
tons in the face of a cliff dizzily ovcrbang-
ing the angry torrent which rushed far
below. He had field glasses with him.
and a glance through them revealed small
trenches or paths cut deep into the rock,
and leading to a sunk an recess in the face
OF the cliff. His curiosity was powerfully
excited, and quitting the trail of the deer
he was following, he determined to find
out what the curious paths sunk in the
face OF an almost perpendicular precipice
meant.
Investigation revealed that it was posi-
Die to reach the recess to which the paths
led by means Of a rope from above. He
returned to his camp, procured a long and
stout rope, and was soon on the summit
from which he proposed to make his peril
Gus descent. Attaching his rope to the
trunk OF a convenient pine. he lowered
himself over the face of the precipice, and
was soon swinging in mid air, hundreds
of feet above the savage waters of the
Grand canyon.
Carefully but resolutely he descended,
and soon found himself opposite the
rocky reccsses he sought. At the entrance
OF the recess was a small but level platform,
fashioned evidently by human hands. On
this our adventurer alighted and pro-
