THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
The F~reeboOters Near Wendover
Yesterday.
The Party Includes Eight Heavily
Armed Men.
While Being Hunted in the South
They Fled North.

While pursuing parties were securing
the country southeast of Rawlins for the
bold and dashIng train robbers the high
waymen were speeding northward. They
preferred the rolling prairies to mountain
Businesses and accordingly struck for the
upper boundary line Of the territory.
A tolerably authentic rumor to the effect
that a band of eight heavily armed men
bearing every appearance of being the
Dana freebooters were seer neal Wen
dover Yesterday, reached this city about Il
O'Clock last night
The first intimation of the presence of
the fleeing desperadoes in this section was
given by a cowboy TO the section boss at
the terminus of the Cheyenne & North
ern. A skirmish party was at once or
ganized and an investigation made.
The deployers learned that eight men,
all well mounted, carrying six-shooters
and for the most part rifles, were camped
within five miles of Wendover.
When the rendezvous was visited only
three of the robbers were ''at home" II
was subsequently learned that the other
five were on a foraging expedition. In
searching for food they called at a ranch
and obtained some bread, and in CONVEX,
sation managed to gain considerable infJr-
nation about the topography of the
country. They stated that they were on
a pleasure iaunt and had a wagon in camp
but had neglected to purchase sufficient
flour. That they had NO Wagon is certain
and that they were the famous and muir
derous would be train robbers is now gem
orally believed.
Malcolm Campbell, the courageous
sheriff of Converse county, has been
wired the whereabouts of the ~renegades
and Will bring them into camp if they in
wade his baliwick.
A telegram from Rawlins states that a
searching party led by the notorious
Clabe Young left that place yesterday
morning outfitted for an extended cam
paign.
Sheriff High, of Carbon county, has
abandoned the pursuit.

A Strange FaIlacy.

- ANNNSANHl
The unconscionable extent TO which
tariff greed has penetrated the country
can scarcely be fathomed. In contribut,
ing his little share in its behalf the dele,
gate from Wyoming Territory, during the
tariff debate, made to the house the
following statement:
The United States does not require the
soda of any foreign country. We have
enough soda IN Wyoming Territory to
supply the United States for centuries.
Prof. Ricketts,, territorial geolOgist, says
that these deposits of soda, found al
most pure in great lakes in various places
in the territory are practically inexhaust.
ible." This is so abundant at different
points in the territory that the cost OF the
manufacture of the various products from
it may be determined by the interest on
the cost of the labor expended. The
crude soda costs but little more than the
expense of handling and the transporter
ton from the place of deposit to the place
OF manufacture.
Yet in the face of this the Wyoming
delegate lugubrlously predicted that the
Mills bill by putting soda and its products
on the free list would ruin this industry.
Could anything be more ludicrous than
some of the phantasies which the tariff
system has engendered in the brains of its
Votaries?

THE GRAND LODGE.
A secret Session and Pleasant Drive
Yesterday.

The Grand Lodge A. o. u. W.,
Nevada jurisdiction, was in secret session
yesterday morning and until $50 o'clock
in the afternoon. A committee on Gre
dentials was appointed and the documents
of the delegates as listed 10 yesterdays
LEADER passed upon, A few reports
were submitted and referred and an ad-
journment taken until this morning.
At 4 o'clock the visitors, numbering
nearly 100, were treated TO a drive to Fort
Russell and points of interest in and
about the city. Incidentally the capitol
and other public buildings were visited.
The delegates had only words of praise
and establishment for the magnificence
of the edifices and beauty of the city and
its surroundings. The splendid boulevard
drive and the handsomest military post in
the department were revelations to the
Westerners, who had imagined hat Chey-
enne resembled some small Utah or Mon
tana town. The drive would have been
prolonged until dusk but for the refresh
ing shower which interrupted the pleasant
sight seeing. All the livery rigs in the
city had been engaged by the local lodge
and many citizens rendered the use of
their private c~onveyances.
To-day the grand lodge will dispose OF
reports, tackle routine business and prob
ably proceed to the election OF officers.
There promises to be quite a lively contest
on the selection of the next place of meet
ing.
Tomorrow night the grand lodge will
indulge in a banquet to be spread by the
local order. Preparations for the event
have about been completed and it will
doubtless be a fine affair. Areport of the
speech making, ETC., will be published the
following morning.
The delegates have accepted the invita-
ton of the grand lodge of Colorado to
spend a day in Denver, and have named
Friday as the occasion of the visit.
The Cheyenne lodge is leaving nothing
undone to make the stay of the delegates
pleasant and all appear to be enjoying the
session hugely.
The visitors are thorough Western men
and affiliate with the Cheyennese in the
regular Rocky mountain style,

Something worth Seeing.

The military and dramatic entertain
ment in aid of the Presbyterian church is
postponed from Thursday to Friday even
ing. Tickets already issued will be good
for that night. Capt. Stitzer's company
of young ladies and gentlemen are becom-
ing very proficient in the use of their guns
and in the fancy marches. The music will
be excellent. The farce, A Husband IN
Clover, by Mrs. Churchill and Mr.. Hen
derson forty minutes) will be alone worth
the price of admission.
Remember, at Keefe hall, on Friday
evening. Admission, fifty cents.

Gil opened with lust a quorum present.
Alderman Hammond in the chair. While
the clerk was reading the journal of the
previous meeting Mayor Riner arrived
and Mr.. Hammond stepped down. The
session then proceeded, his honor presid.
ing. The promptness with which the
council now takes up the regular order OF
business nearly takes the breath away
from the tardy members.
RUSSELL STREET
The street and alley committee recon-
mended the passage of the ordinance
opening and extending Russell street
across the Union Pacific railway tracks
from Twelfth street to Fifteenth street.
Mr.. Hebard thought that the railway
authorities should be consulted before the
ordinance was adopted. If the corpora
ton exhibited hostility to the movement
the cost of opening the street would de-
plete the street and alley fund.
MI. Roberts believed that the matter
should receive immediate attention. The
street should be opened at once.
In response to a question Mr.. Murray
stated that the cost of opening the street
would not exceed $25. He thought the
matter had been delayed long enough.
Mayor Riner was of the o"pinion that
the railway company would not object to
the opening oil the street, but believed
that action should be deferred until the
compauy's representatives could be con-
suited.
Mr.. Roberts urged the immediate dis
position of the ordinance, while Mr., Alt
man counselled caution.
Mr.. Hebard moved that the ordinance
be laid on the table. Carried.

1t is no surprise that the Democrats car
ricd Louisiana in the state election on Tues
LAY 10y a majority of 20, 600 or more. 1t
is true that when the campaign opened,
Gov McEnery, because Of his dislike for
ex-Gov. Nichols, the Democratic nominee
for governor, promised ex-Gov. Warmoth,
the Republican nominee, that there should
be an honest election and a fair count
which meant a Republican victory, the state
being Republican on a full and free vote by
Mt least 5000 But as time went ON and
the Republicans began to show such activi-
ty as indicated that they would redeem
their promise to carry the state, the McEn-
cry and Nichols factions made up and Nc
Emery went on the stump with a declara-
ton that, "While propose no aggression
against the rights Of any man, yet before
this government shall pass again under the
domination of ignorance and vice, | would
wrap this state in revolution from the Ar
kansas line to the Gulf "The laws shall

afterward added, and later he wrote to the
returning officers of elections: "Warmoth
is developing too much strength. We must
heat him. See to it that your district re
turns a large Democratic majority
That fraud was intended to be used in
aiding the Democrats to keep control of the
state was shown by the appointment of al
the commissioners of election in New Or
leans from the Democratic ranks. Among
these commissioners were at least eleven
men who were indicted for stutting the bal
lot boxes at a previous election. The Re
publicans Immediately applied for an in
junction to prevent this fragrant violation
of the law, which requires that both polit
cal parties shall be represented among tn,
commissioners. The hearing was had be

was so plain that they were compelled tC

proposed.
