WAR TO THE KNIE Il.
Accusation and Counter-Accusation by
Man and wife.

The Wilders are in court now 1t will
be remembered that some time since Mrs.
Wilder fed from the bed and board of
her liege lord and took refuge in a private
boarding house on Eddy street, and was
deaf to Wilder's pleas to return. The
man seems infatuated of his helpmeet,
and has done all within his power and en-
listed the assistance of others to effect a
reunion, but without avail. The woman
was obduratc, being influenced, her hus-
band asserts, by the landlady of the pri-
vatc eating house. In a conversation be-
tween the two in the city hall last week
Mrs. Wider asserted that she was I'M
married, but the cnamoled husband in
slsts that they were legally united in Colo
RADIO four years since.
Yesterday Mrs. Wilder swore to a cum.
plant which set forth that she feared
violence at the hands of Wilder. He
was placed under bonds in the sun of
$500 pending a hearing and promptly fur
nished surety Subsequently the man
issued a warrant charging his wife with
threatening his life. Both trials occur next
week. In the meantime Wilder, who
is really a very respectable fellow, is en-
deavoring to induce bis wife to return.
He thinks matters could be arranged
amicably but for the interference of the
boarding house manager and a Cheyenne
barber.

A BIG SUIT.
a c Yorker CLAIMS Cheyenne Men
Have Deceived Him.

Preliminary papers in what appears to
be one of the most important cases ever
instituted in Laramie county were filed In
the Office of the clerk of the district court
yesterday.
The title Of the suit is: Daniel Richter
VS.. Horse Greek Land & Cattle company,
Cheyenne Land & Live Stock company,
Alex. H. Swan, Thos. Swan, H. B.
Kelly, A. +. Ritchey, F. W. Lafrentz and
Joseph Frank.
In the plaintiff petition he substantial
ly alleges that defendants have attempted
to defraud him out of the sum of $751;
900 in a rather peculiar manner. The
petition is one Of the most remarkable
documents of the kind ever formulated in
this section. Richter, who is a New
Yorker, complains that about two years
ago he purchased stock in the Horse creek
Land & Cattle company, that the
organization was dissolved without his
knowledge or consent and all the assets
of said corporation transferred to a new
concern, the Cheyenne Land and Live
Stock company. Instead OF reimbursing
plaintiff for his interest in the defunct
organization, defendants failed to recog-
nize his rights, but transferred one share
of stock in the Cheyenne Land and Live
Stock company to Richter's brother. The
plaintiff continues to recitc his grievances
at length, making very serious charges
against the defendants.
1t is a noticeable feature of the case
hat Richter does not sue for the recovery
of his money, but prays that an account
ing may be had of the affairs of the two
stock companies and all matters adjusted,
and that the dissolution of one corpora
ton and organization of the other be de-
clared invalid and void.
Messfs. Baird & Campbell are plain
tiff attorneys.

1t Is believed that ere many days have
elapsed the great burglar, sneak thief and
expert Jail breaker, who was known Eere
as Jas. Jones, will again be confined in
the county jail. a letter received by
county officials yesterday states pretty
positively that that the notorious crook
has been located in a hamlet in Southern
California, which cline he probably
sought on account of failing health. Of
curse there is every probability that it is
a case of mistaken identity, and the men
here who are personally acquainted with
Jones are naturally skeptical. The sus,
pected man will be closely watched, how
ever.
1t has recently developed that Jones
was the star in an Erie. Colo, transaction
whereby 81, 700 was extracted from a safe.
He was not suspected of the robbery, and
was regarded as a model young man until
after mis- departure.

G. G. Epperson, of Evanston, terrific
rial mine inspector, is in town. He is a
tall man, rather sparely but not too
sparely built, has a pair of frank, intelli-
gent eyes, and wears a closely cropped
beard well streaked with gray. In his
youth he attended the same school as
Bishop Talbot, and has great admiration
for that gentlemap's talents. Mr.. Epper-
son believes Evanston to be the most
prosperous town in the territory at pres
ent, although its inhabitants are Just now

Chicago People talk of money being
close here" he said, land of course it is,
but no one here is acutually suffering from
want, while thousands ia Illinois and
Iowa do not get enough to eat. Those
who think us badly off in the West should
go East for a little while and have their
eyes opened"
A.. @. Beckwith, the merchant prince
of Evanston, has gone to Omaha to make
final arrangements regarding the coal bust
ness. The Beckwith Commercial COM
pany will assume complete control of all
the coal interests and stone quarries now
owned by the Union Pacific railway in
Wyoming and Colorado. Mr.. Beckwith,
the head and front of this corporation, is
about 60 years of age. He arrived in
Wyoming before the war and for some
time drove a bull team. In twenty years
he has amassed a big fortune and those
who know him best speak g~lowingly of
his charity and perfect unrightness. Per
sonally he is a man who keeps his own
counsels and even his most intimate
friends never know directly of any move
ment contemplated by him. He has
made a great success of agriculture
through irrigation and owns some of the
finest horses to be found in the whole
west.

II. A. Calland, of the lumber firm of
Calland, Merrill & Co., is spending a few
days in town. His headquarters are now
at Oelrichs, OAK, a new town which has
been named after Harry Oelrichs,l who
formerly lived here. Mr.. Calland rode
seventy-five miles overland to Lusk. and
though well wrapped up in a fur over
coat, was frozen stiff by the time he
reached the railroad. He does not think
a seventy-fve mile ride in a buggy with
the thermometer below zero the most de-
licious sort of recreation even for a full
blooded man.
~
a sturdily built man, of erect carriage,
with a full gray beard, was seen in the
rotunda of the Inter Ocean last evening.
His name is L. c. Bliss, and his residence
is Lander. He comes to town to repre-
sent Fremont and Uinta counties in the
coming territorial council. Mr.. Bliss is a
genuine old timer. When he first passed
over the present site OF Cheyenne in
1857 the grass stood knee high. He says
Lander is rather quiet at present, but
with a good prospect of a generous spring
boom.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
G. A. R. Installation and Camp Fire
Last Evening.
The Veterans Entertained Their
Friends Right Royalty.
Good Speeches, Novel Music and
An Old Time Luncheon.

= perhaps it is a complete realization Of
the evil features of a poorly arranged en-
tertainment which makes q. a. Il. men
in the entirety such excellent hosts. Per-
haps it is a recollection of days of ,2riva-
tons, and seasons of miserable existence
which causes them to greet their friends
so cordially, and throw off restraint when
entertaining. Whatever the cause, the
effect is charming. The simple
ment that the survivors of the internecine
contest propose to receive their friends on
a certain evening, is sufficient to tax the
capacity of the largest hall in the city.
The old soldiers are popular. Their
elderly admirers recognize that they have
rendered valuable service and are entitled
to much consideration, while the young
Americans Patriotism tribute to the
loyalty of his ancestors-is more marked
than the love of country among the pro-
geny of any other civilized nation. What
youth does not veneratc the gray haired
veteran, envy the active soldier, and re-
gard the old flag as the emblem of all
that is right and lust.
The installation and camp fire at the
headquarters of John +. Reynolds post
last evening was no exception to the en-.
tertainments usually given by the order,
being characterized by a fraternal feeling
which seldom obtains elsewhere. The
veterans were at their best and seemed de-
termined to make the occasion a pleasant
one for all.
Following is a list of the officers in
stalled: Post commander, Thos. M.
Fisher; senior vice commander, A. A.
