Somewhat Nonplussed.

The board of county commissioners
have some singular experiences in prose-
cutting their labors as a board of equaliza-
ton. Frequently parties come in and
watch for awhile until they hear their
names called and then they loudly protest
that they have not been properly assessed.
They did not have that number of cattle
or sheep, as the case might be, and they
occupy the attention of the board. in dis
cussing the matter, and not infrequently
has it transpired that they themselves
gave in their property to the assessor.
Two or three days ago a gentleman
who seemed to be in q nervous and I'M
certain condition Of mind came in and
stood for a few moments without attract
ing any particular attention. At length
his name was called and he was then on
the alert. His Whole appearance was
changed, and in fact he looked like
another man.
Horses, l4O," sang out County Clerk
Jeffrey.
Hold on there, hold on" cried the
individual alluded to. Il haven't got
that number of horses, and
What are you giving us?" exclaimed
7. j. Fisher, the county assessor, who was
sitting behind n of the big Office chairs
where he could not very well be seen"
What are you giving us? Didn't [
count your horses myself and find 224 of
them, and didn't you tell me at the time
that the count was correct?"
Mr.. - subsidized at once and without
another word retreated in good order
amid AT explosion of laughter at his ex-
pense.

The preliminary examination in the
case of the Territory of Wyoming vs..
Hugh j.. Edwards occurred before Judge
Lee yesterday afternoon resulting in the
discharge of Edwards.
The defendant in this case was charged
with breaking and entering the cabin of
John Shay in the Silver Crown district
on the 4th of July, and it was alleged
that he took therefrom several small arti-
cles. The complaining witness failed to
appear against Edwards yesterday, and
it would seem hat there was some mis-
take in the idea that Edwards effected an
entrance to the cabin of Shay.
There are plenty of people in Chey-
enne, among whom is the local editor adj
interim of THE LEADER, who remember
of seeing Edwards at Dale creek bridge on
the .4th of July. to which point he came
across the country by private conveyance,
so that he could scarcely have had an OPP.
portunity to commit the offense charged
against him, even had he been so dis
posed.

THE L PASSED.
: ore About the wyoming Midland Rail-
road.

The statement made by THE LEADER
yesterday morning went on to say among
other things that the bill which was in
troduced by Judge Carey in the house OF
representatives at Washington to grant
the right of way to the Wyoming Mid,
land Railroad company across the Indian
reservation, was pending in that body
and would probably be passed during the
present session of congress. The article
had not been in type more than an hour
before the following was received in the
Associated Press dispatches:
The house last evening passed the bill
granting the right of way to the Midland
road through the Wind River reserva-
walton.
Thus it will be seen as stated by The
LEADER that this company proposes so
far as the signs of the times indicate to
push its line of road southwark toward
Lander without delay. The road will run
in such close proximity to the Yellow
stone National park that the multitudes
visiting hat great attraction every year
will take the route that will bring them
the closest to the enchanted land, and if
the Midland is built and one OF our roads
should tap it, the line Of travel for the
great mass Of people from the East and
South will be through Cheyenne.

To say that the weather was decidedly
hot yesterday would scarcely express the
state of the situation. There was some
thing of a breeze for a portion of the day,
but it was OF that kind and character that
tends to make hot weather hotter still.
Several thermometers throughout the
city registered as high as 950 in the shade
while the one hanging in front of G. L..
Hollis doorway TAT his store) registered go
at noon yesterday, though the heat from
the pavement may have had something
to do with these high figures.
Cheyenne however is not the only
place in the far West where the weather
is extremely hot. Hon. Thos. NJ. Patter-
son stated to The LEADER reporter yes
terday that the weather is considerably
hotter in Denver than here. and from a
private letter received from Salt Lake
City yesterday by the reporter it would
appear that the weather at that point is
much worse 80 far as heat is concerned
than it is in Cheyenne.
All old timers who have been IN the
city from eight to twelve years agree in
declaring that but two or three occasions
have been known in the town when the
heat was more intense than that of yes.

BROKEN UP.
A Very Bad Gang, That Has Now
Disbanded.
At Least They Have Left the
Country.
They Are Wanted for Horse Steal
ing, Etc.

Some days ago I. N. Bard came il
from his ranch ON Little Bear and wa.
very anxious to get a pair of shackles, and
when Intercepted concerning the use he
intended to make of them, said he had
lost a saddle and he believed he knew
where it had gone to and who was the
thief. Two or three days later he came
in and brought with him a man named
Buckley, whom he had under arrest, and
who was at once incarcerated in the coun.
ty jail. This, however, was pot all that
happened. 1t was noticed that two rather
suspicious looking characters who had fire.
quently been seen out on the Little Bear,
followed Mr.. Bard in with his prisoner
or at least they were in Cheyenne the
next morning, and later on it was ascer-
tanned who they were, Though their
names have not been ascertained, and fc-
titious ones were used when a warrant
was taken out for them.
Buckley, after being put in Jail, had a
word or two to say in his own behalf, and
it was TO the effect that they" were the
ones who took the saddle, but who
they" were he did not venture to say.
Subsequently, however, another saddle,
whose owner is not known, was found
concealed near the place where Buckley
and some other parties had camped for
two or three nights. Some other articles
were also found there, and later on one of
the men residing IN that vicinity discov-
cred that one of his horses was missing,
and then remembered that he had not
seen the animal for two weeks or more.
Other Investigations in the Little Bear
neighborhood disclosed the fact that a
small band of depredators have been
operating in that vicinity for some time,
but how many horses have been stolen,
and how much other property has been
made away with, cannot be ascertained at
this time.
A warrant was taken u for the two
suspicious looking characters who fol.
lowed Bard in from Little Bear, but
when search was made for them it was
found that they had disappeared. 1t was
some days ago that the search was begun
for them, and THE LEADER, hoping that
they might be found and captured. re-
Trained from making any mention of the
discovery of the gang. 1t is now certain
that they have lett the country, and
abandoned Buckley to his fate, but what
ever may be the outcome of the case
against him, it is quite certain that the
gang has been broken up, and that the
systematic stealing and plundering that
has been the curse Of the ranchmen out
near the Little Bear is at an end for the
present at least.

PATTERSON AGAIN.
The Work of Getting a Jury Com
menced.
That One Will Be Secured
To-day.
Other Matters in the District Court
Yesterday.

The district court convened yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock, Chief Justice Ma
ginnis presiding.
The Patterson murder case, which is so
familiar to our people as not to require an
extended mention at this time. was the
all absorbing topic in court-not that the
merits Of the case were discussed in or
out of court, but as a large number of
citizens had been called in to serve as
jurors, most of whom wanted to be ex-
cused from service on general principles.
How to get excused and how to get out
of having to sit in a crowded court room
TOR a week or 80, created more concern
apparently than anything else.
County Attorney Stoll Of course APP
epared for the territory and Hon. T. M.
Patterson of Denver and T. M. Fisher of
Cheyenne for the defendant.
The defendant, Harry Patterson, who
looked about the same as on the first trial,
was brought in shortly after 9 o'clock,
and took a seat alongside of his attorneys
with whom he entered into conversation.
Hon. Il. s. N. Morgan, Hon. F. w.
Lafrentz and G. A. Draper were sworn
as trIers and took their seats near the
jury box. The work of securing a jury
was then entered upon, and pursued with
such diligence hat at noon, while the
box was full of prospective jurors, six of
them had been passed for cause" by the
prosecution. At noon hundred names
were drawn from the box, and a venire
returnable at 7 o'clock last evening was
issued. and during the afternoon served
where found. so that last evening there
was a large number on hand for the pur-
pose of answering AL questions put to
you touching your qualifications to serve
as a juror. etc." A full jury was not
secured, however, last evening, but Judge
Maginnis is OF the opinion that the box
will be filled and a complete jury obtained
to-day.

Considerable civil business was disposed
of yesterday, notwithstanding the fact
that the Patterson case was up.
In the case of Jennie Strong vs.. VIM.
H. Strong the evidence was taken in
open court, and a decree of divorce
awarded the plaintiff on payment of
costs.
James Talbot VS.. The Wyoming Fair
Association, a judgment. after hearing
the matter, was entered in favor of the
plaintiff for the sum of 81, 500.
E. R. Hurd VS.. The Inter Ocean Here
ford Association. default Of the defend,
ant taken and entered on record, and a
judgment for the sum Of $37l.32 rend-
cred in favor of the plaintiff.
Court will convene again at 9 o'clock
this morning.

Extensive preparations are being made
for the coming Methodist Episcopal Colo
RADIO conference, to the members of which
a reception is to be rendered next
Wednesday evening. The reception is to
be open to citizens generally, and it is
presumed that there will be a large at
tennance. AS the Colorado conference
includes not only Colorado, but Wyo-
ming, New Mexico and Arizona, there
will undoubtedly be a large attendance
from abroad.

Tom Carroll came in from Horse creek
yesterday, and on being interviewed re-
garding matters in that region of country
stated hat not only was. the country not
drying up. but that they have had and
are still getting plenty of rain ont there,
and that grass and also the cattle are
looking Well.
This Is some relief at least, and it shows
that we cannot well judge of the condi.
ton of things all over the country by
what it happens to be here in Cheyenne.

talked about since the calamity to the

that this would be a good move aud there

them, and Cheyenne cannot afford to be
