AN HISTORIC EVENT.
How Musician Withers Figured In the
Assassination of Lincoln.

VIM. Withers is the name of the stern
visaged, medium sized, slightly bent,
rather aged gentleman who seemed heart
and soul in the work of leading the or
chestra on the occasion OF the appearance
of Frank Daniels Monday evening.
While his features seldom relax while
beating time or playing the violin, Mr..
Withers is q pleasant gentleman and
given to mild merry making when beyond
the walls of the theater.
-.tHRell, what OF it2mn mentally inquiries
the reader. Just this:
That nervous man with the fierce
moustache was a central figure in a trag-
edy that startled the world, set thousands
weeping, and almost precipitated a war
which would have severed the greatest
republic upon which the rays of Gods
glorious sunlight ever fell,
At l1:30 O'Clock on the night Of April
IA, 1865, President Lincoln, seated in a
private box with his wife and Maj. Rath-
bone, was witnessing a presentation of
Our american Cousin at Ford's theater
in the national capital. Lincoln was abb
sorbed in the play when John Wilkes
Booth invaded the box and fired the shot
which bereft a nation OF. its savior in the
moment of his triumphant vindication.
Uttering his historic exclamation the
assassin leaped to the stage and disap-
peared into the wings. Here he encoun-
tered our hero, the %unassuming Mr..
Withers. The latter attempted to pre-
vent Booths flight, but unarmed, was
powerless. He grappled with the fren,
zied fanatic, but was beaten off with a
murderous dagger. Two strokes of the
keen blade gashed his garments but bare
ly scratched his body. The coat which
received the thrusts and saved its wear.
er's life is still in possession of Mr..
Withers and is occasionally modestly ex-
hibited to intimate friends.

stock Association Meeting.

About fifty members of the Wyoming
Stock Growers Association attended an
adjourned meeting of the society held at
the city hall yesterday.
The project to reorganize the associa-
ton was discussed pretty thoroughly and
was disposed of by referring the matter to
a committee composed of the following
named gentlemen: Geo. w. Baxter, John
Clay, Jr., John B. Thomas, William G.
Irvine, E. w. Gnppa~AG-Bssk~ith
Joseph NJ. Carey, Fl. S. Manville, VIM.
Sturgis, Jr.
The trouble with the association seems
to be inability to collect dues and assess
ments. Many who are directly benefited
by the expenditure of association funds
refuse to contribute.
The association will resume its delibera.
tions at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
President A. 7. Babbitt was in the
chair and Secretary Adams recorded the
proceedings.

style Orator Col. Miller addressed the
audience. His appearance was greeted
with cheers and he commanded the atten-
ton of his charmed hearers. He waved
the bloody flag a little, questioned the
intelligence OF all Democrats, picked some
flaws in Col. Bryan's recent speech and
ceased. The vein of humor in Col. Miller
pleased the audience greatly.

MELDRUM REMEMBERED.
In his free, flowing and chaste style
Hon. Willis Van Devanter made a few
timely remarks anent the occasion, and
then in a neat address presented Gen. J..
W. Medium with a token OF regard from
the young Republicans. The gift was a
magnificent silver tea set.
Mr.. Meldrum's response was quite neat
and rather pathetic.
Selection-l7th infantry band.
EX. GOVERNOR WARREN.
In taking the floor Hon. f. L. Warren
assured his hearers that his address would
be brief. He was glad and Joyous through
and through over the result, nationally,
territorially, locally, politically and finan-
cially-lastly because wool had advanced a
cent per pound in the past few days. MI.
Warren regretted his inability to ~fttingly
express his thoughts and then proceeded
to make a very good speech. The speaker
was unable to conceive how a territorial
man could be a Democrat.
Ex-Governor Warren hoped hat the
people would now proceed to work in har-
mony for the best interests of the terrific
ry. The speaker s..dissertation on home
rule was not at all bad. His plan for the
distribution of the Offices is also good.
Solo-"Oh, Daniel. Gen. j. w.
Medium.
DELEGATE CAREY
In making the closing address Hon. j.
M. Carey was more ambitious than the
other speakers. After singing of the
glory OF America, her flag and her insti-
buttons, he thanked his Republican and
Democratic friends, particularly the latter.
He was glad that the campaign was over,
but wished to say that he had uttered no
SANDER or falsehood against his neighbor,
Perry Organ. He hoped that civil ser
vice reform would be continued-that
men now in office would be retained until
their terms had expired at least. Home
rule was treated at length by the honora-
BILE speaker. In Washington Judge
Carey will strive to do his duty to repay
his endorsers for their suffrages. He
thought that statehood for Wyoming was
not far distant. The vote of last Tuesday
showed as many voters now as there were
inhabitants in 1880. Before ceasing
Judge Carey exhorted the people to labor
for Wyoming. to make her worthy of
statehood.
After adjournment the speakers and a
select audience were treated to an enter
tainment by Hon. T. B. Adams, Gen.
Medium and others, the former dancing
the sailors hornpipe.

anything about the cannery for some
time we concluded to visit the place yes
terday and see for ourselves what hat
happened. We noticed steam was uI

work, but acknowledge we were not
prepared for the busy scene witnessed
on entering the building. There wer
