CORPORAL SHEEHAN' SCORE.
The following communication is self
EXPLANATORY:

EDS. RECORD UNION Ordinarily the best
way of replying to articles in newspapers
that are of a slanderous nature, is to give
them no reply at all. But since the publ
cation in the Examiner Of last Monday OF

of the score of Corporal Sheehan, of Com
pany 6, First Artillery Regiment who
made As out of a possible 80 (the highest
yet made, l deem it my duty, in justice
to Mr.. Sheehan, his company and tie
markers, as well as to myself. to say that
! it was my pleasure, as well as duty, to act
as score keeper for Company G at its annual
target shooting, and that the score, as pub
lished, was absolutely correct. The mark
ers were the same that had been on duty
several hours, and of a necessity it was
utterly impossible for them TO tell who the
| men were who were firing, as they could
not distinguish mems faces at such dis.

many as five frers were up at one time, il
would be out of the question for the mark
ers to pick on one man and help him gu,
by marking him up. l paid particular at

to the markers on his shots, because !
knew of his being a crack shot, and
as he started of with bulfs-eye, knowing

Sacramento would question: my honesty
in this matter, and l have such firm
conviction Of this that deem it necessary

reflections upon mans character of whom

the Newspaper support.

q. 7. Organ is extremely unfortunate
in his hackers aud in the newspaper sup
port that he is receiving. No candidate,
however strong, could carry such a load,
Cheyenne Weekly Sun.
Oh, so sadl Take Cheyenne, his home
town, for example. What a load he has
got to carry therel THE DAILY LEADER,
the leading Democratic paper in Chey-
enne, and the best newspaper in Wyo-
ming, is redhot for Perry Organ.
The Cheyenne Daily Tribune, the lead
ing Republican paper in Wyoming, is
laboring day and night for the election of
Perry Organ.
The Magnet, a new paper established
at Cheyenne, is a strong supporter Of
Perry Organ.
In fact, every political paper in obey
enne, with the single exception of the
Weekly Sun, is supporting Perry Organ.
In addition to this fearful load" it is
reported that a large majority Of the vot-
ers of Laramie county lave their coats off
and are working for Perry Organ.
And that is not all. In addition to
that, Just see what a load to carry he
has got in Converse county.
The Lusk Herald is an out and out
Perry Organ paper.
The Douglas Budget, an independent
paper, has subordinated everything else
to its desire for the election Of Perry Or
gan and is making herculean efforts to Sc
cure his election.
The columns of the Glenrock Graphic
evidence its position on this question.
Not only three of the four newspapers
in Converse county support Perry Organ,
but if that gentleman does not receive
three fourths of the votes of said county
at the general election, Democrats and
Republicans alike will be surprised.
And so it stand all wei the territory.
The Sundance Gazette, the Sheridan En-
terprise, the Lander Mountaineer, the
Laramie Daily Times, the Saratoga Lyre.
the Rock Springs Miner, the Rawlins
Journal. and fully three fourths of the
newspapers of Wyoming are supporting
Perry Organ, the poor mans friend.

The Halloween sociable.

clear voice, over which she has full con-
troll.
After the rendition of the programme

RAILWAY NEWS.
A Wheel Lathe to be Placed in the
Cheyenne Shops.
The Union Pacific Leases Another
Telegraph Wire.
Other Railway Notes of General
Interest.

A wheel lathe, a ponderous but still
and car wheels, is to be added to the ex,
%tensive plant of fne-maehineEyL in-the
Union Pacific repair shops al this point.
The appliance was ordered some time
since and is expected daily. The founda-
ton on which it is to be placed has been
prepared for the arrival of its weighty
occupant. A wheel lathe has long been
sadly needed in the Cheyenne shops and
will greatly increase their usefulness and
capacity. Heretofore while disabled en-
gines and cars could be restored to work
ing order with rapidity at this point it was
frequently necessary to ship battered or
worn wheels to Laramie for treatment.
Now this time losing process will be OBJ
waited, as the Cheyenne shops, with the
addition of the wheel lathe, can perform
any character of repair work.
The unprecedented and rapid increase
of the volume of business transacted by
the Union Pacific has necessitated the
purchase of more rolling stock from time
to time and the enlistment of additional
operatives. They bought more coal, more
oil and extra supplies of all incidentals.
The latest shortage is lack of facilities
for handling the Geographic correspond
ence incident to the transaction of bust
ness not directly connected with the run
ming of trains. This difficulty has been
overcome by the leasing of a Cheyenne
Ogden were from the Western Union.
The excellent sleeping car service of
the Union Pacific is to be still further i'm
proved. Commencing with the 9Th inst.
the Salt Lake sleeper will be carried
through to Chicago via Kansas City. 1t
will be hauled over the Chicago & Alton
from the latter place.
This seasons fruit traffic reached nam
moth proportions. The ninth train of
raisins alone to be shipped over the
Union Pacific is now en- route from the
coast and will pass through Cheyenne to-
day or tomorrow.
1t seems pretty late for excursion par
ties to be abroad, but one was aboard last
evenings west bound train, and IN a few
days will bask in the sunshine about Los
Angeles.
The cattle traffic holds on tenaciously.
Sixty cars were loaded yesterday and fifty
ordered for the near future.
There is not a little speculation in GER
tain quarters as to who will succeed Mr..
Baxter as trainmaster and Mr.. Sisson as
chief dispatcher at this point. In the
Interim Superintendent Wurtele, who is
fully equal to the occasion, however, has
his hands full. He has able lieutenants
in Messrs. Van Kuran and Eurgens.
The coal trade demands considerable
attention at this time. Every dealer
along the line has increased his standing
order by several carloads weekly, and the
company also becomes a heavier consul
mer.

The Laramie Times wonders how this
writer could say anything good OF Raw
Inns after the shabby treatment accorded
he and the other members of the press
gang by Sheriff High. 1t does look in
consistent, but then the rest of the people
were old friends and were unusually hos
pitable. Besides the town Justly deserves

HOME.
MIR. GoOdeII's wonderful TTotter in the
Territory Once More.

B. S. Hopkins, head trainer for the
Goodell racing stables, returned from
Denver last evening with Spartan, 2:26,
Ogalalla, Harry, Regalo and Nellie Bly,.
The first named, the pride of Cheyenne,
and in the judgment of many the peer OF
Ollie, is in splendid condition after his
magnificent performances at Colorado's
capital, and will doubtless astonish even
his most ardent admirers next season.
The others are free from any evidences of
fatigue on account OF either travel or
work.
In his inimitable style Hopkins tells of
some humorous, interesting and exciting
incidents in connection with the Denver
meeting. He Is pardonably proud of
Spartan's showing with Ollie, Little Joe
and other flyers, and of his pets victory
over Rowdy and Ned Biddle. The latter
was, in the language of the turf, killed
By Spartan and the former simply out
footed. In this test the Cheyenne horse
was given his mark of 26 and the specta-
tors stoutly averred that he wasn't forced
at all. Here Hopkins demonstrated his
superiority as a driver, outgeneralling
Wyandt, the crack Beckwith manipulation
of the ribbons.
Half a dozen Denver sports were anx.
ious to purchase Spartan, but the horse
was not for sale.

in the country and live slow. They
are not all good boys who come to

the place they are from, and come to
the city to practice what they know
and learn more. They come from
places where there is no Sabbath.
They come from families where the
Bible was never read, and from homes
where prayer was never made. They
have no intention of ever having a
family and home of their own. In
dustry, frugality and economy they
never think of. They come here to
have a good time. Well, there is
room for them in the saloons and
underground theaters. All the ways
to ruin are open for them. In the city
prison and county Jail there is not
much room, but they can be taken in
and cared for. The capacity of San
Quentin is not enough for all who 90

companions in the jail of the same

plenty of policemen here to handle
these daily corners. Our police force

in reply to al invitation. He was q

with establishment
The idea, one of them replied,

and brandy" said the Judge, who
would have taken the oil to get the
brandy.

and I'm with you"

the bar. They turned to Split, and
all looked at him with interest.

glass of water"

us went fishing. We took fine stock

came back to town. They thought it
was a good joke because they had
