KILLED ON THE HILL.
Another Victim of Wyoming Snow
Sheds.
Joseph Leland, a Brakeman, Forgets
to Duck.
He is Instantly Killed and the Body
Found in a Snowbank.

In speaking of fatal railway casualties
the statement that "a brakeman was
killed" is almost invariably made. Some.
times everyone else escapes with wounds
or bruises of a more or less serious nature,
but by a strange fatality a brakeman is
always killed. On some railways the fact
that they average the loss of a brakeman
every so often is made a matter OF record.
Another brakeman, a member of o
freight crew, was killed between Laramie
and Cheyenne yesterday. He met q
tragic death while at his post of duty.
He neglected to dodge a snow shed, and a
fatal wound across the forehead was the
result.
The unfortunate was known here as
Jos. Leland, and he was rear brakeman
for Conductor Mcdonald. At Sherman
he climbed to the top of the train and
proceeded to set the brakes on five ears of
the train not equipped with air brakes.
He was nearing the fifth car when his
head came in contact with the heavy tim
bers of the archway of shed No. 6. He
fell, and doubtless expired in a very few
seconds. The train had moved only a
short distance when the body rolled from
the car and landed in a snowbank.
At Buford Leland was missed and a
pool of blood and his cap found on the
car. Conductor Mcdonald Immediately
returned and recovered poor Leland's re-
mains which were brought to this city
and are in the hands of the undertaken
awaiting advice from his parents at Mon
treal, Canada.
The accident occurred in Albany county.
No inquest will be held.
Mcdonald and many other co-employes
Of the dead man unite in saying that he
was an exceptionally fine young man. He
was quiet and unassuming, but still very
companionable. He was sober and steady
and would have won promotion. Leland
had been here something over a year. He
was a very careful railway operative.
On the person of deceased were found
very affectlonate letters from his parents.
1t seems that his name was not Leland,
but Leboeuf, the former cognomen being
adopted as more pronounceable.

CO. B,s RAIL.
The Cheyenne Guards First Party
Very Successful Affair.

Co. BIS dress drill and ball at the armory
last evening was quite q brilliant affair.
The militiamen were Respondent in their
natty gray uniforms and as becomes the
soldier presented a killing appearance.
The national colors were literally dis.
played about the hall and the tasty ar.
rangement made the effect very pretty.
Many prominent citizens attended the
party throughout and others dropped in
for a few minutes in the course of the
evening. Governor Moonlight was among
the spectators in the gallery.
The drill which preceded the dancing
occupied forty minutes and evidenced
that the men have profted by their week
ly practice. Many difficult moves were
made with apparent ease. In short the
boys performed like veterans.
There were twenty-four numbers on
the dancing card and it was quite late
when the list was exhausted.
The affair was arranged by the dress
drill committee, which includes G.
F. Rossrre. F. A. Sitter, T.
B. Adams, H.. W. Henderson,
J. s. Birmingham, G. I. Skolds, II.
A. Clark and w. L. Larsh. The floor
managers were: G. 7. Skolds, j. s. Bir-
minghsm. G.. 7. Rossive and Fl. s.

A squad from the Laramie GIays was
present. The names of the visitors fol-

District Court.

Thomas Burton, convicted of the bur-
glary of the residence Of Frank Endsrs,
the sneak thief, goes to Joliet for three
years. Judge Maginnis overruled the
motion for a new trial and the prisoner
was sentenced yesterday morning. Burton
was convicted principally on the evidence
of Enders, who is one of the most thor
oughly bad rascals unhung. 1t is barely
possible that the man is innocent, but his
bad character was against him. Enders.
who is serving time for petty larceny,
practically offered to clear Burton in con-
sideration of $50.
Jos. Ford goes to Joliet for two years
for altering brands and stealing cattle.
Ford's punishment is just beyond doubt,
but it is pretty certain that he was made
a tool by older heads.
Court adjourned to Monday morning.

lunge at it, and got It, ] laid hold
his legs. the end of the rope was passed
about the capstan. and as soon as the
men on board had had little grog, we
were hauled up, | can assure YOU that
II was no fine experience to go up in
that way, close to the smooth vertical
front of water, with the whales tumb-
ling out AL around and above us, and
the sword fishes nosing US pointedly
with vulgar curiosity.
We had no sooner set foot on deck,
and got Sam disengaged, than the
purser stepped mp with book and pencil.
Tickets. gentlemen
We told him we hadn't any tickets,
and he ordered us to be set ashore in
boat. II was represented to him that
this was quite impossible under the cir
cumstanccs: but he replied that he had
nothing to do with circumstances.
Nothing would move him till the cap
tain, who was really a kind-heartcd
man, came ON deck and knocked him
down.
We were now stripped of our cloth
ing. chafed all over with stiff brush cs,
rolled on our stomachs, wrapped in lan-
nels, laid before n hot stove in the sa-
loon. and straugled with scaldng
brandy. We had not been wet. nor had
we swallowed any sea water. but the
surgeon said this was the proper treat
ment. | suspect, poor man. he did not
often get the opportunity to rcsuscitate
anybody; in fact, he admitted he had
not had any such case as ours for years.
1t is uncertain what he might have
have done to us if the tender-hearted
captain had not thrashed him into his
cabin. and told us TO go on deck.
by this time the ship was passing
above the town of Africa. and we were
about to go astern and fish little, when
she grounded on Il hilltop. The captain
hove out all the anchors he had about
him. aud when the water went swirl
ing back to its legal level, taking the
town along for company,there we were,
in the midst of Il charming agricultural
country, but some distance from any
port.
AT sunrise next morning we were all
on deck. Sam sauntered aft to the bin
naclc, cast his eye carclessly upon the
compass. and uttered an ejaculation of
astOnishment.
Tell, you, captain,' he called out,
this has been direr convulsion of ma
ture than you have any idea. Every
things been screwed right round. Nee
die points due south.'
"Why. you cussed lubber.' growlcd
the skipper, moving up and taking a
look, lit pints directly to labbard, an
there's the sun, dead ahead"
Sam confronted him with a gaze of in
effable contempt.
Nov, who said it wasn't dead ahead?
tell me that. Shows how much you
know about earthquakes. Course, |
didn't mean just this continent, nor
just this earth. I tell you, the whole
things turned.'
