A TOURNAMENT.
The Volunteer Department Proposes to
celebrate the Fourth.

Members of the fire department pro-
pose to indulge in a home tournament If
possible. They wish to keep the people
home on the glorious Fourth and will
succeed if given the encouragement to
which they are Justly entitled. The citi-
zens W. much to the volunteer firemen
and should assist them in this laudable
undertaking. A large amount OF money
will not be required, as moderate prizes
will satisfy the boys.
Several fremen have suggested that
medals or other suitable trophies be Of
fered to the competitors. Teams would
be attracted from all towns in this section,
and the Cheyenne tournament would be a
great event. The firemen have appointed
committees to canvass the celebration
question. and a decision on the subject
will soon be rendered.
Let there be a rousing tournament by
all means.

The ShOshOnes Propose TO Vacate an Inn
mense Tract.

1t is rumored here that the Shoshone
Indians have decided to allow title to o
large area of their almost boundless reser-
walton in the northwestern portion of the
territory to revert back TO the govern
ment again. 1t is said that this decision
was reached at a council of chiefs, over
which the venerable and ~sagacious Wash.
axle presided last week.
The tract to be abandoned by the In,
dams is all that portion of their reserva.
ton lying north of the Wind river. and is
very desirable land. There is fully L.
900, 900 acres comprised in the section
which the Indians propose to vacate.
A delegation OF leading Shoshones will
proceed to Washington at once and make
a deal with the authorities. OF course
they expect to be compensated for relin-
gushing the land.
The restoration of this great tract OF
fertile land will assist in the settlement
and development of that section of the
territory. Lander, which is already prom
ised a railway in the near future, will be
especially benefited.

A few days ago it was mentioned that
three New York gentlemen were in the
city for the purpose Of looking over the
Post Percheron Association stock. They
were very highly pleased with what they
saw and have purchased three carloads of
horses to ship east. The magnitude of
the plant surprised them very much.
Even in Kentucky they had never seen a
better class of brood mares for general
purposes. The brands they say are no
longer considered an objection but have
become quite the fashion and are now
considered a recommendation. One OF
the gentlemen will hereafter place an order
for. 800 horses a year, having found it a
good deal more satisfactory to buy the
animals where they can be purchased in a
bunch than to go over a big stretch of
country and pick them up a few at a
time. The horses just bought will be
used in New York for livery and general
purposes.

France, the boodler, is not released. The
Cheyenne Tribune to the contrary not
| w~ithstanding. His bond has been IN
creased from 2,OOOto S., 900 for felony.
The Indictment was drawn under the new
law of 1888 and was quashed by Mr..
Dixon's consent in view of the provisions
of the law. In the argument yesterday
as to James Frances assignment it is con-
coded by everybody that. Gen. Charles
IL. Toll, formerly attorney general of Col
orado, who is associated with Mr.. Dixon,
has made the most perfect presentation
of a case of absolute fraud in law and in
fact hat can be made from the nature of
such a transaction.
The universal opinion to-day is that
both the evidence and the arguments
which were participated in on the one
| side by Messrs. Dixon and Toll for the
attaching creditors and Corlett and NJ. G..
Brown for France, is that the conveyance
by France was absolutely vicious fraudu-
lent and should be avoided. The court
now has the matter under advisement.

FOR THE DEFENSE.
Agent ZONES on the Jewell Murder
Case.
Refused on Good Grounds to Deliver
the Indians.
Rather Wavering Stand of the
Coroner's Jury.

In a lengthy communication to THE
LEADER Col. Jones, agent at the Shes,
hone Indian reservation, presents an ex-
haustive review of the mysterious Jewell
murder case. In the main the facts
agree with those placed before the pub
lie in a recent issue of this journal.
So soon as Mr.. Jones learned of the
discovery of the dead body of a white
man on the reservation he notified the
coroner of Fremont county and an inquest
followed. The jury decided that deceased
same to his death from the effects Of gun
shot wounds inflicted by unknown per-
sons. Members OF that body afterwards
publicly stated that they were not positive
that the verdict was in accordance with
the facts in the case. The remains, being
in a decomposed condition, were not easily
identified, nor could the marks of violence
be accurately located. The appearance
of the front of the head clearly indicated
the possibility of another mode of death
than settled upon by the c%oroner's Jury.
Mr.. Jones doubts if any of the iurymen
can swear positively that Jewell is dead
or that the body which they viewed was
that of JEWELS.
The agent considers hat by the investi-
cation which he instituted it was estab-
lished that Garfield gained possession of
JEWELS gun legitimately, trading him a
horse for it. Garfield was arrested with
out difficulty. In regard to the rumor
that this prisoner confessed to the murder
of Jewell Mr.. Jones says that a diligent
search has failed to reveal the person to
whom the admission was made.
Sharpnose was suspected of completely
In the crime for the reason that a horse
belonging to him was found neal the
place where the mysterious body was
brought to light. The supposed Jewell
once bought a horse from Sharpnose, and
about a month after the formers disap-
pearaDce the animal was again noticed in
the Indian herd. Incidents of this sort,
however, are of common occurrence in
that section.
Mr.. Jones is strongly inclined to the
belief that JEWELS partner, who is no.
where to be found, had something to do
with the mysterious disappearance, Jewell
once remarked that he was convinced that
his mate was not to be trusted.
On the rumors of uneasiness among
the Indians the agent says: There is
neither fear nor dread at the post or
agency. An open outbreak of the tribes
is an impossibility, and danger from the
Indians at all very remote. They are
submissive and under control"
Col. Jones does not deny that he re-
fused to surrender the prisoners to the
civil authorities, and believes the position
he assumed well warranted. By advice
he has notified the Fremont county Off
cials that upon the receipt of certain COM
munications he will probably allow the
accused to be taken to the county Jail.
In conclusion, the agent says, hat it
seems that in this matter, in which the
Lander Mountaineer claims sole interest,
the territory at large, and even the gov
eminent itself, should be allowed a voice.

very much less than half of that, as rule,
