A working number of the water works
and fire committees met at the Office of
Riner q johnson yesterday. The mayor
was present. The chairman of the water
works committee was instructed to cause
the city engineer to correspond with east

decided to put in ten Gamble fire alarm
boxes, subject to the action of the next
regular meeting of the city council There
is little doubt, however, of the matter be
ing practically settled. The boxes will
strike alarms in the Hook & Ladder build

Importan, to the public.

Nowhere in the West, OF in the East,
will be found a greater number of private
carriages and buggies, according to the
population, than in Cheyenne. The SUI
perior style and finish of these vehicles is
a s~urprise to strangers who are ignorant OF
the fact that this city has one of the most
extensive carriage manufactures IN the
country. The Cheyenne Carriage works,
corner Eighteenth and O'Neil streets,
have, under the superntendency Of VIM.
Richardson, attained an enviable reputa
ton for strictly first class work. far superior
TO any that is turned u elsewhere. And it
is well to remark right here that il is
necessary to have an extra grade of work
manship on all vehicles to be used
in this altitude. because of the dry
ness OF the atmosphere and the con-
sequent liability of the woodwork toshrink
and spoil. Our people have tried Eastern
work and they have learned from bitter
experience that it doesn't pay. There
fore they buy the best grade of carriages
manufactured right here, which are sold
with a guarantee of the manufacturers.
Superintendent Richardson, Of the
Cheyenne Carriage works, uses nothing
but the best material of all kinds in the
manufacture of his vehicles. the best sea-
soned wood. the finest leather and steel
and the best Of imported cloths. The
company has recently largely reduced the
prices OF all wagons and carriages now on
hand. and now is the time to purchase
first class vehicles at low prices. There
arc on exhibition and for sale in the store
rooms of the factory top buggies, phae-
tons, surveys. carts, ranch buggies. road
wagons, the Whitney buckboards, two
seat Concord wagons, etc. all of which are
offered at reduced prices.

Tho I'oLlea Giant has proved itself an
Immense success on its first production at
the California theater. The drama is one
of the same class in which Mckee Rankin
has made his great reputation. 1t is like
The Ddnitcs and 90 and at the same
time more emotional than either of these
successful productions, while equally full
of the broad and ford elements which
contributed so greatly to their success.
There is pathos, humor and mclo drama,
with no uresome excess in each. The
scenes are laid in Idaho, ls70-79, and the
synopsis reads as if the author, having
good material at command, has made
efficient dramatic use of it. The cast EN-
braces the full strength of Mckee Rank
ms company. BY special request The
Ddnites will be the opening piece on next
Monday evening at the opera house.

cnEYENNE CARRIAGE woRk..
Rapid Growth OF II of Ch%eyenne's
business Enterprises.

a LEADER reporter yesterday visited
the extensive works of the Cheyenne
Carriage company, 600 I o COG West
Eighteenth street, and gathered some in
formation in regard to the founding and
progress of this now s~ignally successful
business enterprise.
The inception ofrhe Cheyenne Carriage
works was in n small, rough frame shop
on the corner of O'Neil and Eighteenth
streets. This humble shop was first occu
pied in 1875, and in it Mr.. N. Robertson
worked when there were not twenty carria
ges in the city. Four years spent in this
humble shop, and Mr.. Robertson erected
o: brick at a cost of 81, 800,
that portion of the present works standing
on the immediate corner of O'Neil and
Eighteenth.
In this building, consisting of two
stories each 95x5O, Mr.. Robertson and
MIR Geo Coffman carried on n steadily
enlareing business, Mr.. Robertson doing
the woodwork and Mr.. Cofman the
blacksmithing. The original shop and
stock could probably have been cashed
for $500, while the two story brick build
nd was built at a cost of 81 .s0O. This
brick never was sufficient for the needs of
the business, there being always more or
less rooms rented elsewhere in the city
for storing or kindred purposes.
In November, 1882, the Cotfman Car
rage company wss formed, with a capital
stock OF $1,000, and with Messrs. Golf
man. Truckey. and Mcdonald as stock
holders. This company endured until
August, 1888. whdn the business passed
into the hands OF the present stock COM
panv, with a capital stock of $3.50
As the capital stock was swelled, the
works were at once enlarged. A brick
building, 50x6O feet and of two stories,
was at once erected on Eighteenth street,
Joining the original structure. This con-
tllns a paint shop, a varnish shop and a
blacksmith shop. The cost of this build
ing was about $4,000. The works now
joined the buildings of the old Butler
property, still to the west on Eighteenth
street. This property was now purchased
by the company, giving their works six
numbers 600 to GOO on Eighteenth street.
The Butler property was purchased at a
cost OF 81. 500.
And now the comnanv was ready fo,

Day before yesterday narrowly escaped
branding as the date of a murder on the
grade of tine Cheyenne a. Northern. The
immediate scene was the camp Of Sub
Contractor Earnest, and nothing but that
gentleman's prompt and fearless action
avcrted a frehtful tragedy.
Mr.. Earnest had employed a colored
man as cook. As the only collred man
in the camp this employe was subjected 20
a great many petty %annoyances by the
other men. This ''codding, to use the
camp phrase, eliminated the other day in
a fight between the cook and one of his
prosecutors, in which the white man was
badly worsted.
This enraged the other white men, and
tents, was set on by the whole outfit,
armed with spades, picks, shovels, etc.
The beset man fed toward the tents,
closely pursued by the furious Thong, de
nouncing death at every step. Mr.. Earn
est happened to be within one of the
tents, and hearing the uproar, at once
made bis appearance on the scene. 1t was
high time. The negro was being rapidly
overhauled, and even had ne succeeded in
reaching the tents, they would have offered
him no protection.
Earnest at orce threw himself between
the negro and those who so icrcely sought
his life and seized the ring leader, while
the negro disappeared in one OF the
tents. A furious wrangle followed, the
men insisting upon having their prey, and
Earnest determined that they should not.
Firmness and authority finally carried the
day, and the men %sullenly returned to
work, while the negro was paid off and
sent into the city out of harms way.
He can thank his employer for his es-
cape from a bloody and frightful death.
