The Mammoth Pioneer Establishment of
Underwood Bros.

For many years the wholesale and re-
tail grocery house of Underwood Bros, in
the K. of P. block on Seventeenth street,
has been one of the leading establishments
of that class in Cheyenne. A LEADER re
porter who visited the place yesterday
was really amazed at the size, elegance
and arrangement of the model store.
All varieties of the numberless staples
are carried in large quantities, and in
fancy groceries Underwood Bros, are al
most without competition. They have a
full line of Ritter's celebrated preserves,
Curtice Bros canned fruits, the best
pickles, plain and mixed, and purest vine
gar in market, fine syrups, all sorts of
~jellies, upadulterated mince meat and the
best pie fruits. In crackers their stock is
complete.
The firm has recently received two car
loads of prime winter apples. With this
house it doesn't make any difference
which end of the barrel is opened first.
The apples are good through and through.
Underwood Bros. lave on hand constantly
several thousand pounds of potatoes.
They believe in keeping money in the
territory and sci! Wendover potatoes,
which, by the way, captured first prize at
the territorial fair.
In flour the house has five or six of the
best brands. They sell all sorts of grain
and hay and fill large or small orders with
equal promptness. Fresh ranch butter
and eggs are specialties with the firm.
The Underwood store. filed to over
flowing, is one of the largest in the city.
There two floors, l32 feet in depth, with
a large elevator.

A n.
Henry Gordon, Becoming DemOnstra-
tive, is Placed III Jail.

Henry Gordon, a demented darkey, was
placed 10 a cell in the county jail yesterday
afternoon. Henry's eccentricity was a
fendish desire to annihilate the entire
colored population of the burg. So soon
as behind the bars and away from any of
his race the crazy mar became religious
and invoked the mercy and assistance of
the divine powers with tervid impiety.
Gordon has been in Jail before. In 1882
he assaulted a girl at the Railroad house
with a bottle, administering a brutal beat.
ing to his weak victim. For this otfense
he was indicted, tried, convicted and sent
to the penitentiary, the plea of lunacy
failing TO clear him. By strict attention
to business he served a three year term at
Lincoln, Neb in two years and forty five
days. In order to perform the feat he
found it necessary to commence bright and
early every morning.
Soon after his release Gordon returned
to Cheyenne and was a peaceable citizen
for a long time. He will doubtless be
sent to Jacksonville or Evanston.
The lunatic is a brawny individual who
will be quite difficult to handle if he be-
IN violent.

On a RazzIe Dazzle.

The commercial representative of a well
known Denver house tarried in Cheyenne
last week, and Judging from his actions
must have been under contract to con
sumo all the whiskey in town and intro
duce the latest slang phrase, "in de
soup." He would wander into various
resorts, and with the remark that IF he
kept this thing up he would soon find
himself in de SOUP" order refreshments
for all present. The rapid youth
finally succumbed, however, and when
last seen was endeavoring to borrow $40
on 1,4OO pounds of baggage. The mis-
guided man who INDUCED in the glorious
''razzle dazzle" IS reputed to be one of
the best statesmen carrying grips west of
the Mississippi.

A square Sale of Goods.

1t has become the habit of certain
firms of the city to every year indulge in
the dodge of a pretended forced sale
about the holiday season, the purpose
being to get rid of a lot of old aud shop
worn goods at the very highest figures.
Through alleged assignees sales they work
on the credulity Of the purchasing public
and in this way secure really better prices
for stale goods than any firm that sticks
closely to legitimate methods. 1t may be
accepted as a fact that no firm can afford
to sell goods below cost and continue to do
business. Rhodes & Troxell do not pre-
tend to be selling out at cost, but they are
selling goods the price and quality Of
which cannot be disputed by any other
firm in the same line of business in the
city. Fancy articles of last years produc-
ton can now be sold at precisely what
they cost the dealer one year ago. This
fact should not be forgotten by people
intending to make purchases. Rhodes q
Troxell buy the largest variety of fresh,
fancy goods that come to the city. They
have now on display the choicest novelties
that have been produced this season in
the Eastern markets. They are selling
these goods at a fair living profit, and 1t
will pay everyone In town who wishes to
be up with the times, and yet get their
goods at reasonable prices, to give them a
call before purchasing elsewhere.

A wyoming phenomenal.

Byron Hopkins, trainer of the Goodell
string, has lately conided to several of
his intimates the fact that he has discov-
cred a phenomenal trotter in a large year
ling flly on the Belvoir ranch. The
youngster has been named Wentaste-
uuette, and Hop offers to wager a large
slice of his next years vacation that if
the animal but bears up under the name
it will startle the world. He AYERS that 1t
is a splendid locker" gentle and %intelli-
gent, and fully capable of trotting a large
hole in the wind. IF the citizens will
only remunerate HIM, Hop offers to heat
the streets by working the colt on

minutes after the chief clerk presented
the documents to Mr.. Lafrentz a short
recess was taken, and soon after an ad-
journment for the evening meal was
taken.
About 8 o'clock Mr.. Lafrentz looked
in his desk for the rejected measure and
discovered that by some unaccountable
legerdemain the act and veto message had
disappeared.
The loss was quickly whispered about
and news of the mishap soon became
public property. The occurrence caused
great surprise, and not a little Indignation
was manifested. Suspicion pointed to
several gentlemen, all outsiders, as the
probable culprits. No steps were taken
toward the recovery of the missing article
until after midnight. At the request of
members. Messrs. Manley, Beltz, Mai.
Glafcke, Hillsi and Towse testified, and
Mr.. Nat Baker was allowed to make
a statement. Summed up. the
facts we're: Waterman Beltz was at sup
per, Messenger Manley, who was sup
posed to be acting as Waterman, was in a
committee room, and Messrs. Hills and
Towse were writing at a desk near the
speakers chair, when Mr.. Baker entered
the room and remained a very few min
utes. The room was crowded during the
inquisition, and great interest was taken
in the matter. Though all witnesses were
closely questioned, nothing positive was
developed, and the Converse county bill
theft is as great a mystery as ever.

Chief Clerk Hosford, of the council
whose tuneful voice and experiences have
been a feature of the session, was con.
siderably surprised last evening when Mr..
Symons rose in his place and submitted
the following resolution:
Be it resolved by the council of the
Tenth legislative assembly of Wyoming:
That we, the members of the council OF
the Tenth Legislative assembly of Wyo-
ming, do hereby tender to w. f. Hosford
u cordial thanks for the very able and
efficient manner in which he has dis
charged the ardous duties of chief clerk.
On the top of this Mr.. Symons paid a
very graceful tribute to the capabilities of
Mr.. Hosford (who by the way has rem
dered admirable s%ervice) and took occa-
sion, in behalf of all the members, to
present him with a gold pen and a unique
clock embedded in a highly polished horn.
Mr.. Hosiord was as happy as a clam at
high tide.
