Hull, but he knew his column in the
paper and enjoyed immensely his brief,

Hull was dead that he had left a
widow and several children in indi-

he Davis and Mackay should send
Mrs. Hull check for 500.

A Half Interes In NJ. L. POSTS Ranch
Sold for $4,000

II has been known for some time that
negotiations were pending in New York
for the sale and purchase of a half interest
in the well-known p o, or Posts horse
ranch, located thirteen miles north of
Cheyenne. In pursuance thereof, WIN.
II. Force, a Unknown merchant of New
York, visited Wyoming and made a per
sonal inspection of the ranch, and a count
of the horses. He found everything pre-
cisely as represented with respect to the
ranch, live stock and the climate. Being
an experienced h%orseman, Mr.. Force was
amply competent to report on the matter,
and, to his good judgment, be it said, he
made the recommendation of purchase.
Accordingly, on Saturday last, the neces-
sary transfers were made by Mr.. Post,
who ven to New York for the purpose,
and the half interest was conveyed for the
magnificent consideration of $500, 600.
The purchasers are all of them gentlemen
of wealth, and some of them of national
iaiic. lucy ihNiuut iluidct ~. lHuTDcT,
the largest wholesale grocer in the United
States, James N. Jarvie, of the firm of
Arbuekle & Co., the largest coffee deal
ers in the world, William b. Force, Of the
firm of Waterbury & Force, ~wcll-known
as heavy merchants of New York, and
several other wealthy men of Gotham.
But this purchase does not limit the
amount which these gentlemen will invest
in the concern. 1t is the intention to add
to the ranch and the herds as rapidly as
capital can be assimilated, so that this
business of horse breeding on this ranch
will not only remain the largest in the
world, but will be increased to such an
extent as to become a wonder of i'm
meusity in its way.
Our people are to be congratulated
upon the completion of this sale, as it in
sures an immense increase of investments
from afar.
Mr.. Post will retain a large interest in
the new company and has been requested
to act as resident manager. The main
office OF the company will be in this city
and a branch office will be established in
New York.

given time, provided the election shall re-
suit favorably to the issuance of bonds;
and that said company shall also enter into
bonds to keep such railroad in operation,
or in case it shall fail to do so, the said
railroad and its rolling stock and other
property shall revert to the county, as in
demnity to the latter for the bonds issued.
The bill which has already passed the
house of representatives providing among
other things for a new division of the city
into wards makes all that portion of the
city south of Seventeenth street the First
ward, north of Seventeenth and east of
Central avenue the Second, and north of
Seventeen and west of Central avenue
the Third ward.
There are now two railroad bills before
the legislature; one a Union Pacific bill
$50 called, and the other, a Northwestern
bill (so-ealled). Between the two, we
shall probably get no railroad law at all,
unless some member distinguishes him
self by introducing n bill that will be solely
and purely in the interests of the people
of Wyoming.
An item in THE LEADER Sunday morn
ing in reference to a saddle which resem
bled the one stolen from Geo Benton was
not intended to convey the idea that Mr..
Benton could not identify his own saddle,
but referred simple to n state of affairs
that existed at the outset and before the
case had been heard. Instead of lis a
question the words was a question"
should have been used.
The Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York presents the statement of its
business and its standing to our readers
this week, which will command the gem
eral attention of all those who are insured,
or who n to provide for the future, in
dependent of their families. Assets of
nearly Sl09, 600, 900, an increase of over
&, 1000, 900 above the previous years state
ment; payments to policy holders daring
last year amounting to $l4,402. O49. 90i
reserve for policies in force Of nearly
Sl04, OO0, 900, are facts speaking for them
selves, and hardly need a further commend
to the careful investigator.

JAKE Schneider, one of the obliging
clerks at Diapers, was made a victim and
a martyr to st. Valentine through the as
s~istance OF some thirty or forty young
gentlemen-friend OF his. They put
up a job" on Jake. and each agreed to
send him a valentine; no nice. sweet little
affairs were to be sent him, but the honi-
Hest and ugliest That could be found.
They were sent, and Jake got them yes
terday and had both pockets full when he
came back from the post Office. There
was something a little singular about 1t,
but most of the young men were at ORA
per's when they were opened, and the
occasion was more than equal to any cir
Gus that ever visited Cheyenne.

Union services were held ON Sunday at
the Baptist church IN the morning and
the Presbyterian in the evening. Rev. S.
A. Dyke preached able sermons at these
services.
Some of the churches were very un.
comfortable on Sunday. aud at one or two
of them several persons took severe colds
in the evening.
When the Mists Have Rolled Away
was sung at the Congregational church in
the evening by a quartette consisting OF
Miss Louise Kingsley, Mns. Chas, Masten,
and Messrs. w. A. Whitcomb and A. D.
Sanders. Seldom has anything more
beautiful been Leard in the churches OF
elsewhere in Cheyenne.
The sermon by Rev G. NJ. Sanders, at
the congregational church Sunday morn
ing, was an able one.
The Presbyterians will elect a new elder
and transact some other business of i'm
p%ortance at tomorrow nights meeting.
