1t has Just transpired that two of Chey-
enne's young colored society men INDUCED
recently in a shooting bee. The cause
of this dangerous encounter was the
charms of a dusky damsel whose mother
lives not far from the old Catholic church,
and the names of the chivalrous antagon-
lists are Joe King and John Craft.
Both of the men have been paying par.
ticular attention to the lady in dispute,
and she, to reap full advantage from the
abundance spread before her. engaged
herself to both of her admirers. As a
matter of course, came the inevitable re-
suit. Both of the engaged men met
about IL o'clock night before last, near
the bower of their love, and very few
words passed, before the pistols began to
crack. The weapons employed were %
calibre reyolyers, and some three or four
shots were fired. 81
No one was hurt, and the combatants
gathered both safety and glory. They
now form a mutual admiration society,
and she. of the sootv charms, is more
puzzled than ever which Of the gallant
heroes to select as her future spouse and
champion.

xiifins III ROCK springs.

Yesterday mornings passenger train
brought intelligence of a tragedy in Rock
Springs. The fatal shot was fred by Con
stable Pickering, and the slain man was
one Tassy, a miner. L. appears that
Tassy WAS on a bad drunk, and created
considerable disturbance.
A warrant was sworn out and placed in
the hands of Pickering for service. Tassy
resisted arrest, and procuring a heavy
club stood the officer off. On the consta-
BILE again attempting to do his duty.
Tassy struck at him with the club, and
the officer replied with his revolver. and
Tassy fell dead But n shot was fred.
AS the train left Rock Springs, the sheriff
Of Sweetwater county arrived to investi-
gate the affair.
Later intelligence is to the effect that
Tassy had been on the rampage for three
days, and had completely terrorized the
Chinese portion Of the town. Pickering
shot was not at once fatal, Tassy living
until 6 p. m. There is little doubt but
that the verdict will be Unsuitable homicide

gineers and went over the preliminary
survey made last fall up the valley Of the
Sweetvxter, terminating at South pass.
Nothing definite could be extracted
from the railway msgnates in regard to
to the consequences of this visit Of exam
nation and inspection, beyond the al
ready well known fact that the vigorous
Northwestern means business.

1t is on dit that several Cheyenne fami-
lies will shortly leave the city for new
homes on the Northwestern frontier. The
scene of colonization will be in the foot
hills of the mountains southeast of the
National park, on one of the tributaries Of
the Sinking Water.
This region is included IN the great
basin of the Big Horn, and has all of the
attractive qualities natural to Northwest
ern Wyoming. The valleys are sheltered,
are rich in fertile farming lands, and are
dotted with natural meadows. The heads
of the streams are clothed with heavy for
ests, offering the white and yellow pine
varieties, spruce and quaking aspen. while
the streams themselves are fringed with
cottonwood. The water supply is pure
and i~nexhaustible, and the heavy fall in
sures facile irrigation. The region is the
lowest in the territory and oats, wheat,
corn and barley mature well, while garden,
vegetables in the greatest variety can be
raised.
The mountain waters are the homes of
delicious trout and white fish, and the
whole section is alive with game. Bear,
deer, elk are plenty, with an occasional
buffalo, and not a few mountain sheep.
Sage hens and prairie chickens fill the
brush; in the forests the squirrels are le-
gion, the pine grouse ditto, while immense
bands Of antelope are found in the low
lands.
A gentleman vel known in Cheyenne
will shortly leave the city for this favored
region, as an advance agent, and will be
followed by the main band Of ~colonists,
who expect to be comfortably established
in their new homes by the time winter sets
