a u ESCAPE.
Buried Under IN E~mbankment for
Twenty-Five Minutes.

Young Tommy O'Connell, whose par
ents live a short distance up Grow creek
north of the city, had a narrow escape
from death yesterday, and had it not been
for the prompt and well directed efforts of
D. G. Polly and others the young fellow
would have lost his life.
Sometime yesterday forenoon Mr.. Polly
who was at work near the Talbot brick
yard this side of Camp Carlin was attrac-
ted toward the residence of Mr.. O'Con-
nor by the frantic cries and more frantic
gestures of some women and children near
the bank of Grow creek, which in that To-
cality is quite high, and overhanging to
such an extent that a man can crawl I'M
der it and find shelter in case of a storm.
Mr.. Polly and one or two others who were
within hearing ran to where Mrs. O'Con-
nell stood distracted with grief and excite
ment and who told them that the bank
had caved In and buried her little boy
Tommy beneath it. Men will IN
times work with a desperation which
seems almost superhuman, and such was
the case with Polly and others who came
the rescue. They were compelled to work
somewhat at random for it was not known
at what point under the bank the boy had
been buried. They found him at last
however, but at a point which they had
once dug over without discovering any
traces of the buried boy. When reached
and taken out he was almost gone, but by
diligent work he was soon restored, when
it was found that he had sustained no
serious internal or external injuries. His
death from suffocation however would
certainly have ensued in a very few min
utes longer, and as it was, all hat saved
him was the fact that some large hard
Jumps of earth had fallen around his head
in such a way as to afford a little protec
ton.
1t was a terrible position in which to be
placed, and his escape from death seems
be little short of a miracle.

sued 20 cover court expenses:


In addition to the foregoing there are
some other matters paid and unpaid, so
that the court expenses las claimed) for
the past six months will be somewhat
over $l9, 0O0-this, however, including
the board of prisoners who have been
tried or held for trial in the district court.
The statement shows that since Jan.
l, 1888, there have been warrants issued
to the amount of SOS, 28G.44 for all pur-
poses; but OF course these in part repre-
sent matters which accrued during the
preceding year, and it does not follow that
the county expenses have been that much
during the past six months.
Some figures were taken from the
assessment roll yesterday by THE LEADER
reporter while making up his material for
a report Of the proceedings Of the com
m%issioners, and according to these figures
there are now in the county of Laramie
l83,437 head of cattle, nearly as many as
there were last year when those which are
now included in and belong to Converse
county were counted in the total.
The total valuation of taxable property
for the year 1883 is 50, $50, 1892 as
against 50, O4O, OOS. 80 for the year 1881,
which valuation for the last mentioned
year included what has since been set
apart into Converse county.
Notwithstanding the fact that about ST.
300, 900 worth Of taxable property has
been lost in the organization of Converse
county, the total valuation for this year IS
larger by $549, 1854 than for 1887,
which is certainly a very gratifying fact
and one which demonstrates to a certainl-
ty that although times are hard and bust
ness dull, the wealth Of the county is in
c%reasing at a very fair rate 10 say the
least.
The commissioners yesterday instructed
the county clerk to open correspondence
with the authorities of Converse county
with the view of coming to some under
standing as to how much is due from that
county to this. and also as to about when
it can be paid.
The board acted afirmatively on the
petition asking for certain damages in the
road from Iron Mountain TO the Chug-
water, and appointed +. p. Browning, G..
d. jerks and l.. Ashenfelter as viewers,
after which the commissioners adjourned
until Aug. lG.

The Foundation.

Work has been begun on the new ter
%ritorlal penitentiary at RawlIns, and the
foundation has already been completed,
or nearly so. The building is to be a fine
one for the purpose to which it is to be
devoted, and will cost when completed
about $4,000.
1t might be a grim suggestion to make,
but would it not be well to have some sort
of ceremonies instituted at the laying Of
the corner stone of the new edifice. There
are plenty of men in the territory who
would probably make appropriate ad-
dresses n such an occasion.

was again before Judge Lee yesterday for
the purpose Of making a defense. At the
last moment, however, his attorney j. G.
Baird, stated that he would reserve his
defense and not undertake to make any
before the examining court.
Ford's bonds were fixed at $500, and
the case continued in order to give him a
chance to furnish the bonds to the justice
as Judge Maginnis is out of the county

that this meets the approval of the peo-

course parties who take out liquor licenses
there have to pay the county license of
5000 per year, Notwithstanding the price
fixed for the town license by its corporate
authorities.

FACTS AND FIGURES.
The County Commissioners Con-
slider Important Matters.
Something About Court Expenses
Valuation of Property.
A Semi-Annual Contemplation of
County Affairs.

The meeting of the board of county
commissioners held yesterday wa a very
important and interesting one, inasmuch
as certain ~semi-annual reports were made
which give us an insight into the financial
affairs OF the county and figures are given
which will enable our people to see what
she cost of running the county is. The
expenses are kept within the lowest posi-
Bile figure, and yet our commissioners al .
though they figure to the best advantage
for the interests of the county. are of
course obliged to audit and pay all legiti-
mate bills and expenses that ensue.
One Of the matters attended to by the
board yesterday after receiving and plac-
ing on file the semi-annual reports of the
treasurer and county treasurer was to go
over the books and see that they were cor
rect. In the case of the books and vouch-
ers of Mr.. Jeffrey the board went over
them and found everything correct, the
dates, figures and numbers corresponding
with those of the treasurer so far as the
two reports go hand in hand, and both
corresponding to all other data to which
reference had to be made.
County Treasurer Bergman's report was
also found to be a model in the matter of
correctness, and was 30. X" in every
particular.
From the statement made by Mr.. JEFF
frey in regard to the amount of warrants
issued since Jan. l, 1888, the following
figures show the amounts that have been

The character Of the future in any young
man can be forecast with unerring GER
tainty, so far as it relates to humanity,
generosity, gratitude and devotion to prin-
ciple, from the knowledge of the manner
in which he carries himself towards his
parents, There is no better warrant for
estimating youth at its true value than
its ilial regard. There is nothing
in the character, habits, disposition and
thought of the young people of this day
that gives more concern for the future
manhood of American civilization than the
evident, undeniable growth of disrespect
for parents and avoidance of filial duty,
The willful neglect by the son of the father
in his old age ought to be recognized by
society as crime of slch enormity as TO
make its perpetrator an outlaw to the So
cial system. The relation that springs
from natural birth is common to all races;
precisely as it is feebly or vigorously
maintained, the character of the affections
is determined, and so, too, is the moral
sensitiYeness gagged. The unselfsh ma
ture responds to the relation with delight
and alacrity, and receives in return that
reward which consciousness of duty well
performed always brings. II, as the
| Nashville paper afiirms there are
aged. parents in that city in distress,
while their children do nothing for their
relief, though amply able, it is reflection
upon the social conditions in Nashville
that shames her people. Unfortunately
there is good deal of complaint of this

many other parts of the country, and it i,

the family relation is not so strong in thi

greatly less attention and respect than
the rule in Europe. The son of to-day, il
