BOUND FOR JOLIET.
A Former Resident of Cheyenne Gets a
Had Dose.

Sheriff J.. Cain, of Unita county was
on the easternbound passenger train yea
terday with a prisoner named Bell, who
is being taken to the penitentiary at
Joliet. Charles Bell, the prisoner, was
convicted for obtaining money under false
pretences and sentenced to serve four
years at Joliet, and from the evidence ad-
duced on the trial it would seem that he
is a pretty slippery customer. He form
erly resided for II short time in Cheyenne
and was originally a lawyer, but during
his residence here he was not known as
such except as he casually mentioned it
to acquaintance. His wife for a short
time sang in one Of the church choirs OF
the city and was evidently a very fine and
highly educated woman. On the trial at
Evanston Bell undertook in part to make
his own defence, but was o equal to
the task of proving his innocence. When
sentence was passed upon Bell he was
asked the usual question whether he had
anything to say. In response he arose
and produced a very large bundle Of
manuscript and proceeded to read there
from. The document contained a lot of
bosh which had no bearing on his case
or the situation as it then existed and
only served to injurc his chances of a
light sentence. After he had concluded
Judge Corn simply remarked, Nv ell,
Mr.. Bell. 1t will give you iour years

County Assessor Jeffrey yesterday IT
ceived from the United States land Office
a large number of plats, showing the
amount and location Of such lands within
the county for which the parties inter
estcd have received patents. Not only
this, but under the law the lands upon
which receivers final receipts have been
issued are also taxable, and the plats re-
ferred to show these lands as well. These
plats will greatly aid the assessor in max
ing the assessment, and indeed without
them it would be almost impossible to
ascertain what laI DIS are taxable.

our present copaItnership, to change our
business from the mercantile to the land

view. we will on Tuesday, April 20, place

boots, shoes, hats, millinery and every.
thing contained in our stocks at Cheyenne

This is the largest closing out sale ever
made in the territory, and considering the
large stock and our well known business

all the newest style goods. This being
the closing out and end of our mercantile

AS a finished specimen OF beautiful
penmanship and artistic drawing, the
most sklllful expert might be proud Of a
piece Of work recently produced by Mr..
Frank Bond. of the surveyor generals of
fee. The brochure is the result of a sug
gestion of Gen. j. c. Thompson, and is
designed as a token of regard for Capt.
Foster of the Pacific hotel. The body of
the piece consists of an exquisitely execu-
ted copy of Captain Foster
article on the subject Of Lees
farewell to his generals. Above
is a truthful portrait of the Confederate
commander; to the left the 'Gorgon's en-
sign Of the Republic" floats
brilliant in glory, while on the left and
below is seen the conquered banner droop-
ing. from a shattered staff, in the gloom
of defeat, yet not without heroic touch
of pathos. The sketch, in finish and per-
lection, is fully equal to the best engrav-
ing and evinces remarkable talent in its
author.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Special Meeting Yesterday---The
Pioneers Building.
Estimate is So, 500---Accepted and
New Bids Asked for.


~
Another special meeting Of the city
council was held at IL O'Clock yesterday
forenoon, Mayor Reel presiding.
The call for the special meeting, signed
by the requisite number of members,
was read by the cleik, after which the
council was ready for business. The csti-
mate of Engineer provinces was read. The
estimate was s., 500 for the building.
Mayor Reel stated his views at some
length on the subject of the erection of a
Pioneer Hook and Ladder building. In
his judgment if the city is to erect a
building of this kind it should be one
that will not only be substantial and suit
able for the purpose, but one that will
also be a credit to the city. If an in
adequate building is put up, or if it be
erected in an unsubstantial manner it
will cost the city from $1,000 to $4,000
per year hereafter to keep 1t in repair,
whereas il a good building is erected it
will not require this expenditure. The
city hall had been erected at a moderate
outlay at first but since then thousands OF
dollars had been expended on the struct-
ure, and at best the building Is now moth
ing but a shell and might fall down. In
fact, he had seen the time when he was
almost afraid to stay IN the building Tor
lear oil lis sudden collapse. lie DelleVeu
that the council ought TO provide Tor the
erection OF a good building while they are
about 1t, and he believed the tax payers
OF the city would sustain the council In so
doing,
MIR. heefe wanted to know whether II
the building should cost more han the
estimate the extra expenditure could be
legally incurred.
Mayor Reel read from the ordinance
and thought 1t could not.
MIR. keefe insisted that the law had
been changed so that 1t was now IN the
discretion OF the council
Clerk Richards read from the law, but
it did not appear that 1t had been so
changed that any expenditure can be made
in excess Of the estimate.
Mr.. Keefe moved that the estimate be
accepted and the clerk authorized to ad-
vertise for new bids in accordance with
the plans prepared by Architect Matthews
and in making the motion Mr.. Keefe
stated his views at some length. The
motion was seconded by some member of
the council, after which an informal ram
bling discussion ensued, in which 1t trans
pired that if the wall of the building on
the side next to II. H%arrington's ground
was made more substantial than the one
as proposed by the plans, Mr.. ii. would
stand half sf the expense.
MIR. Harrington made a few remarks,
and explained that he had beer Offered
81 800 for the same ground which he SOLD
to the city for $3.50, and also stated II
full what he would do in case the wal
next to him was made twenty inches IN
stead Of sixteen for the first story, and
twelve instead OF eight inches for the sec
ond story.
1t should be stated here that the pro
posed building Is to be 6dx3I and two
stories.
