Late on Wednesday night a young man
named Hyde was met on Eddy street by
a stranger who, under the pretense of
talking to him, picked his watch out of
his pocket and would have gotten away
with it had it not been for the fact that
the chain was a stout one. Hyde imme
diately hunted up Policeman Nolan, who
at once went on the trail of the would-be
pickpocket. After trailing him around
for some tune, Nolan arrested him Just as
he was about making an attempt of a
similar kind upon another party. He was
taken to the calaboose and locked up, aud
subsequently it was ascertained that his

Early yesterday morning Cheyenne was
receiving the very unpleasant attentions of
a young blizzard and a good many people
shook their heads and remarked, II told
you so. | told you we should catch it,
and now we are elected, sure. They
were mistaken, however. The blizzard
was of short duration and although there
were quite respectable drifts in some parts
of the city, it was almost summer again
before night and the snow had nearly dis
appeared.

Protecting the Laboring Man.

The Michigan state grange, recently In ses-
sion In Grand Rapids, took action upon a
very important question. BY almost unani-
nous vote n committee Of three was appointed
to confer with like committee 10 be appoint
ed by the Knights of Labor, I'm regard TO a
mutual understanding between the two organ
lzations and cooperation In matters of vital in
terest to both. The objects sought, according
TO the resolutions adopted, are: To develop a
better and higher understanding among the
members of the two organizations; to foster
mutual understanding and cooperation; to
maiLtan inyiolate our laws; to hasten the
good time coming when every man shall sit
under his own vine and fig tree and reap the
just reward of his labors; 10 oppose agrarian-
ism, communism and socialism as those terms
are generally known and accepted; TO protect
capital in its just rights and to oppose peace
ably by our combined power the tyranny Of
monopolies; to adjust as far as possible any
differences that may occur between capital
and labor by the peaceful means of arbitra
ton; TO put down bribery, corruption and
trickery; to see that none hut competent
faithful and honest men, who will unlinch-
ingly stand by our industrial interests, are
nominated for all positions of trust, and TO
have carried out the principle which should
characterize every citizen, that the office
should seek the man and not the man the
office. Reserying the right OF each 10 unite
with any party that will best carry out these
principles.

The Business Failures for the Year.

r. G. Dun a. Co., of New York report that
the total number Of business failures In the
United States during 1885 was 1887 with
liabilities of little more than Sl24 600, 900, as
compared with 10, 96S In 1884 with liabilities of
$226,000,0 While the failures for 1885 are
only three per cent. less In number than In
1884, the liabilities have decreased nearly 80
per cent. The number Of traders reported IN
business In 1885 was 9l9,990 OF these one In
every eighty-six failed. In 1878, with GA. 00J
traders, one in every sixty-four came 10 grief.
The average amount OF liabilities of each fail
ure was In 1885 Sll,6 against s20,63. in 1884,
and So, 1863 In 1878. 1t Is seen from these fig
ures that while business casualties decrease
but slightly they are far less significant In
amount and importance.
In the Western States there were 1902 fall-
ures for SIS, 047 097, against 1869 failures for
4,S72, 6S3 in 1884. In the Pacific Coast States
and the territories there were ,230 failures for
80, 062, SO3, against 341 failures for Sl307l 1855
In 1854.

TO better understanding between the two Or
CARNATIONS, will seek as follows: To develop
a higher and better understanding among the
members of the two organizations; to foster
mutual understanding and cooperation: TO
maintain inviolate our laws; to hasten the
good time coming when every man shall SIT
under his own vine and fig tree and reap the
just reward of his labors; TO oppose agrarian-
ism, communism and socialism as those terms
are generally known and accepted; to protect
capital in its just rights and to oppose peace
ably by our combined power the tyranny OF mon
opoles to adjust as far as possible any differ
ences that may occur between capital and
labor by the peaceful means of arbitration; to
put down bribery, corruption and trickery; TO
see that none but competent, faithful and
honest men, who will unfinchingly stand by
our industrial interests, are nominated for all
positions of trust, and to have carried out the
principal which should characterize every clti-
zen-that the Office should seek the man and
not the man the office. Reserying the right
OF each to unite with any party that will best
carry ont these principals.

Attempted Blow u

A quart can Of peculiar construction was
found on Judge Lambert, Trees front porch,
"a Cass street, Chicago, the other day by the
coachman, who tenderly took ii up, carried
1t into vacant lot in the rear and then start
ed on run for the Chicago avenue police
station. He was In fright when he reached
there, telling Lieut.. Shepard that he had
found a can of dynamite, and asked that an
officer be sent down to investigate Officer
Adams was sent back with him. Together
they took the mysterious can TO the lake
shore at the foot of Chicago avenue and
touched match to the dynamite fuse which
was wound about the can. An explosion fol-
lowed which made terrific noise which was
heard at the distant station. The earth was
torn up for several feet. When the can was
ound it was standing under the doorway.
The fuse was cleared at the end, showing that
II had been lighted and gone out. The police
will investigate the mysterious affair.
Judge Tree is now In Brussels, where he
went few months ago as United States min
lister. No motive is known for the attempt to
destroy the mansion. Gen. Alex. McClurg,
who is occupying Judge Trees residence, says
he saw the can on the front porch and exam
ined it, using great care. IL was about four
inches high, two inches in diameter and very
neavy. There was rubber tube in the center.
1t was of peculiar construction, but he could
not conceive any reason why an attempt
should be made to injure the mansion Judge
Tree, or any of its inmates.

THE STATE AT LARGE.
DETROITs CALAMITY.
D. N. Ferry q Co s Large Seed Establishment
Completely Deytroyed-Losses Amount
ing to a Million and Half.

just before nine o'clock on New Years
morning one of the most disastrous fires that
has visited Detroit in many years broke out in
the great seed ware house OF ID. NJ. Ferry II
Co. The flames spread with great rapidity

out all the buildings but one in the entire
block involving lost of at least million and
half of dollars and one human life,
Captain Richard Filban, who was knocked
from a ladder while in the performance Of his
duty, and crushed by falling wall. The
great establishment of Ferry IL Co. contained
an area of nearly five acres of floors and these
were loaded with seeds and valuable property
which is now mass of ruins. Whites theatre
having the largest seating capacity of any
theatre in Detroit shared the same fate The
minor losses were suffered by dry goods and
other concerns.
The work of rebuilding will be begun at
once. 1t is said that the burning of Ferry Il
Co.'s property will advance the price of seeds

Blood Thirsty Auaches.

w. j. Jones, one of the best known ranch
men In Arizona, In an interview
says the situation in western New Mexico and
eastern Arizona is really much worse than
has been reported by the newspapers.
He declares no one person can gather an
adequate idea of the terrorized condition of
the Inhabitants and the actual NUMBER of peo-
pie killed by the Apaches within the past two
months. Dozens OF families have been mas
sacred In distant parts of the territory aud
the news OF their death has never spread be-
yond the immediate vicinity, owing to the
long distance and separation from the outside
world. Jones mentions three murders In New
Mexico which to his knowledge have never
been published, ana says just prior to his de-
parture from New Mexico, he helped bury a
neighbor who was found murdered by In
dams. The fearful loss by fire ana plumber
at the hands of marauding Apaches has also
been underestimate, as many ranches has
been literally cleaned up of stock and the
houses burned.
The ranchmen Of Graham county, Arr, have
equipped ranger force at their own expense
and placed them in the field Settlers are de-
pending entirely on these rangers The regu-
lar army is no longer relied upon by the
people to suppress these frequent outbreaks.
Mr. Jones asserts that Gov. Zulic OF Arizona
is In favor of Immediately organizing ter
ritorial ranger force, and has been petitioned
TO call the legislature together Tor this pur'
pose.
