navy yard in the navigation building,
which stood in the center of the ground

storage purposes. The building was
500 feet b; 20. The officials of
the departments mentioned lose all the
contents Of their off see, including val
liable naval and military maps, plans and

refused all assistance from the City fire

such head way that the fire department
was called in. Al 2 O'Clock the fire was
under control. The building was COM
pletely Quilted, the walls alone being left
standing. The total loss will be about
$500. O0G.

BASE BALL.
Collins Defeated and the Five Point
Series Postponed.

To be able.to chronicle the fact that a
Cheyenne ball club has defeated an out of
town team is truly refreshing. 1t remained
for the Juniors to regain the laurels lost
by the Red Stockings in the disastrous
series with the Greeley grangers. The
youngsters r~e-established the reputation
of the Magic City as the residence of a
good nine by vanquishing the Fort Col
Inns Juniors at the fair grounds Sunday
almost without an effort. The score, SO
to IA, is the sharpest thorn in the sides of
the visitors, who confidently expected to
win, as they say in the quarterstretch,
with hands down" How the cheyenne
team was defeated by the Collins lads last
week will always remain a mystery. The
home club yesterday outplayed the oppos-
ing nine at all points. The features of
the game were the pitching and fielding
of young Lynott of this city, the terrific
batting of the home boys and the rank
errors of the Collins club while in the field.
The attendance was only fair.
The Five Point-Red Stocking games
for Saturday and Sunday have been de-
clared off. The Denver club has other
engagements for those dates, but may
appear here later in the season. 1t is to
be regretted that the visit of the famous
Colorado team has been postponed, as
lovers Of the sport are very anxious to see
some good games. In the meantime
the Reds are in constant practice and are
improving daily.

OF Vernona Jarbeau's new comedy,

the Cleveland PLAIN Dealer says: There
are many bright bits of dialogue in the
play and the songs introduced are, as a
rule, Of a higher order than those found
in the average farce comedy. That,
coupled with the fact that the thirteen
ladies and gentlemen engaged to support
Miss Jarbeau have good voices, and know
how to be funny when occasion calls for it,
will successfully carry Starl i0ht through

The Omaha papers have it that Robt.
Baxter, for the past two years train mas

Pacific in this territory adds another eff

Cheyenne gains a good citizen. Mr..
Baxter is a Wyoming product. Fifteen
years ago he was Western Union messen-
ger boy at Rawlins. He is a self made

LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS.
With Peters Patent Fastenings for Cartridges
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. Recon Diminished and
FouHHg of Gun Chamber Prevented.
Tho Potors Cartridge ornPa

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the fluctuations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines are run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size and quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
especial Smith or Parker loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity Of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having n
steady and powerful movement, the .wads arc seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The lamentations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crimp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent touing of shell chamber
and leading Of shoulder. The recoi is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection Of Shotgun Ammunition. The most hatterng
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by
