A BOOM.
Railway Building, Oil Wells, and
Many Calves.

Geo. l.. Aggers, the Pennsylvania ex-
pert who represents five Eastern oil syn
dicates in Wyoming, arrived from the
North last evening, and was ''corralled''
by a LEADER reporter in the rotunda of
the Inter Ocean. After transacting some
business at the land office this morning
Mr.. Aggers leaves for Denver. The!gen-
tleman made some remarks in relation to
railroad building which will interest all.
The Northwestern, instead of hating at
Caspar, as has been repeatedly stated, is
forging ahead with all rapidly possible.
In that section all believe that iron will be
laid as far west and north as practicable
this season. The grading and trpcklay-
ing gangs are being reinforced constantly,
and the constant cry is for more men.
1t is evident that in the Wyoming
Midland the Northwestern recognizes a
formidable rival. If within the power of
the older corporation the new bidder for
the northern trade will be like the bad
boy, cut off without a cent"
Wyoming oil fields will be extensively
developed this season. One road already
taps the great petroleum basin and anoth-
er is in prospect. Mr.. Aggers believes
that puch lubricating oil will be shipped
within the next few months, and says that
refining machinery will be placed so soon
as the railway affords facilities for its
transportation.
Mr.. Aggers confirms all favorable range
reports and tinges the outlook a very rosy
hue. Up north the herds look as though
each COW had become the mother Of twins.
Near Douglas two round-ups have been
greatly delayed by finding more cattle than
anyone had anticipated.

MontmOrency Dead.

The Omaha Bee of the 2Sth says: y.
Montmorency died rather suddenly OF
heart trouble at his residence on the cor
ner of Francis and Smith streets about G
o'clock yesterday morning. He has been
ailing for some time, but was apparently
on the mend. About 5 o'clock Yesterday
morning he awoke greatly refreshed, got
up and dressed himself and sat down in a
chair. The members of his family began
to entertain hopes of his speedy recovery,
but this unusual exertion proved too much
for him, for inside of an hour he was
dead. The sudden demise was a terrible
blow to the family. The remains are to
be sent tomorrow to Burlington, Ia, for
interment.
Deceased was quite well known in
Cheyenne, having been general agent of
the Cheyenne & Burlington at this point
for several months. He became quite
popular here, but returned to Omaha on
account of i'll health.

FIFTEEN INDICTMENTS.
The Grand Jury Investigating
Rapidly.
List of Those Charged With Crimes
and in Custody.
Quite a Busy Day in the Civil
Court.

The grand jury now lin session at the
court house is a model body. The mem
bers are industrious and apparently work
in harmony. Perhaps the unanimity is
induced by the presence of a couple of
newspaper men, but THE LEADER does
not pretend this statement to be more
than a surmise.
Fifteen indictments were returned by
the grand Jury yesterday and it is expect
ed that a final report will be made in a
few days. The body will be engaged on
United States business a day or more.
True bills against persons in custody as
follows were found:

recently stole money and clothes from the
Pioneer restaurant and was captured in

dividuals who a few weeks since entered
Otto Ahrens' Eddy street saloon and
stole three boxes OF cigars.

saddle from R. S. Van Tassell several
months ago They will be tried on a charge

captured near the Cheyenne & Burling-

Oscar Sharpless.
Chas. Peters is an alleged forger. Last

without authority and obtained goods
from several merchants. He was appre-
hended at the Western hotel by Officers

VIM. Hunt tapped the till at Held's
restaurant in Dillman's saloon last winter

Gently attempted to escape from the

maniacal proclivlties. He recently stole

light house.
Some time last winter Ed. Mcpherson,
while under cover, shot at Fred Hoffman,,
bartender at the Stock Exchange saloon.
He will be tried for attempting to kill
Hoffman,.

PoWDERLY ON CITIZENSHIP.
The Master Workman Before Mr.
Ford's Congressional Committee.

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-General Master
Workman T. V. Powderly testified today be-

that it excludes from its ranks bankers,

said, was man who is to be seen on election
day with his hand stretched out for Doodle.
On the subject of imported contract labor.
Mr.. Powderly said the system was most
reprehensible one. Those foreigners who
came here under such conditions are grossly
immoral, and the influences which ordinary
foreigners meet in this country never reach
these competitors with honest labor. They
are brought here under promises Of lauds
and great prosperity, which they never real

They live on the cheapest kind of food, so that
American miners cannot compete with them.

startling: These Hungarians never learn

They never become Americanized. The

that in the free-for-all race Glenarm had won

won the heat the race was his, and so he
did. Glenarm had the pole. Spratt second

several lengths, which he kept to the finish.
At the half mile Spratt was four lengths in
