DEATH or l. W. FRENcH.
A Wen Known Old Timer Goes over
the Divide.

On yesterday x-Governor Warren re-
ceiyed a letter from a gentleman at APP
pleton, Wis, announcing the death at
that place of Col. 1. W. French, which
occurred Aug. l. The gentleman who
wrote the letter is a stranger to Governor
Warren, but stated that as he had fire.
quently heard Col. French speak of him
he concluded to write, in order that some
one here who knew the colonel might
know of his death and impart it to others
in this city. He states in his letter that
the colonel died of heart disease, and that
he suffered a great deal during his last
illness. He had been an invalid for a
long time, and not more than a year or
eighteen months ago Col. French passed
through Cheyenne on his way to the Pa
ciic coast, and while in California he was
very sick, and at one time there was a
rumor in Cheyenne that the colonel was
dead, which of course proved to be I'M
founded.
Col. L. w. French was an old timer
here in Cheyenne, and is well remem-
bered by nearly every one who came here
prior to 1875. He was formerly in bust
ness here. and the mammoth stone ware
house on the corner of Eddy and Eff
tenth streets still bears the mann
Of the firm. W. French l. Co.-which
built it and did a wholesale and commits
sion business there away back as early as
1868, and in those days the Indians being
bad it wa universally conceded that in
case Of a determined attack upon the city
this stone warehouse should be resorted to
as a block house. Fortunately, however,
no occasion arose when it became ALSO
lutely necessary to gather the whole town
within its walls as perhaps might have
been done. After a few years the firm
failed and went through bankruptcy, its
members, with the exception of Col.
French, scattering abroad, the colonel,
however, staying by and doing the best he
could to repair the broken fortunes Of the
firm and save something from the wreck.
The fates were against him, however, and
as is too often the case when a man
reaches the point where he is pulling
hard against the tide some of those who
had once been his friends turned against
him and he was at length forced to give
up the unequal contest and babe adieu to
Cheyenne never to return here as a resi-
dent.
1t has been said many times by those
who knew Of the circumstances, well,
French was square in that matter and he
tried to do the right thing as far as he
could"
This is the end. There will be no more
failures, no more bankruptcy courts and
no more disappointments for this old
timer has crossed the divide where these
things are unknown.

Articles of incorporation of the Lander
Roller Milling company were filed in the
Office Of the secretary of the territory.
The mills which the company propose to
erect at Lander. Fremont county, are to
be devoted to the ordinary purposes to
which a Touring mill is useful, and of
course its principal place of business will
be at the point mentioned, and yet the
company will have authority under its cor
pOrate powers to establish mills elsewhere
in Fremont county. The capital stock of
the company is fixed at $4,000, divided
into $50 shares at 800 each, and the

A certain party in this city was arrested
and taken into custody for a short time
yesterday, but subsequently released.
1t seems that the party alluded to,
whose name need not be mentioned, as
nothing has been substantiated against
him, has had some differences of opinions
with parties down in Nebraska, and a
letter was written to Sheriff Sharpless
asking that he be arrested and held until
he could be sent for.
The arrest was made and the Nebraska
authorities notified by telegraph. but they
failed to respond and so the young nan
was released.

pany Is to keep ahead of the procession so
far as financial matters are concerned.

Chairman Diclxie Makes q Straight Iudorse-
ment of the Mills Bill.
New York Special to Philadelp hia Press.
,s Samuel Dickie manager Of the Prohibition
campaign, has been in charge at the national
Headquarters here ever since they were opened.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Dickie is free
trader. an advocate of the Mills bill, and, there
fore, has twofold interest IN pushing the Pro.
hibition canvass, for the greater number OF
votes General Fisk receives in this State and
New Jersey the better are the chances for sue
cess OF the free-trade presidential ticket
called on Chairman Dickie, at headquarters, to-
day, and had the following interview:
Are you a free-trader, Mr.. Dicklel"
'No. sir; am tariff-reformer, though.
consider the Mills bill an improvement on oul
present tariff schedule, and believe it TO be a
step in the right direction The tariff ought to
be lowered in every instance so as TO cover
merely the difference in the labor cost of the
article. How to determine this is q CUES ton.
but do not think the changes proposed in the
Mills bill do away with the difference in the cost
of production here and abroad"
How about placing wool on the free list
does not that have that effects"
.'Well." replied MIR. Dickie. Il suppose free
wool would be an injury to the farmer, but il
would probably be an advantage TO the mani
facturers. AS to the other articles muss de
cline to express opinion, for have not stud
led the Mills bill yet carefully, and have only q
general idea about its changes"
Professor Dickie's replies place him squarsly
on the Presidents platform. The one difference
between the head of the prohibition canvass and
the candidate of the Democracy is that the for
ner adds the determination Of the liquor inter
est to his demands. Both. however. favor the
abolition of the protective principle in the tariff
laws. It would be we'll for any Republicans
who incline toward the prohibition cause t.
know the attitude of the leaders of the party.
