A MULE RANCH.
An 10 900 Acre Tract to be Devoted
to Mule Raising.
The Land, a Johnson County Ranch,
is Sold for ST. an Acre.
A Gentleman Known in Cheyenne to
Manage the Plant.

During the current week, says the But
ffalo Echo in its last issue, one of the
largest transactions in johnson county real
estate that has been recorded up to date
has been completed through the instru-
mentality of Mr.. j. B. Menardi, the wide
awake real estate agent. The property in
question is the ranch formerly owned by
j. t. Weber of this city, which is stu
ated on Sales creek, ten miles northwest
of Buffalo, and comprises 1900 acres of
land under fence and which is nearly all
available as agricultural land, but has been
utilized principally as a pasture for Mr..
Webber's large herd of horses.
The purchase price of the land is
$19, 900, and is considered very reasonable
by good Judges of real estate values. The
sellers reason for accepting the low figure
is said to be based upon the fact that ne
has accumulated enough to Justify his re-
tirement from extensive ranchlng, and is,
therefore, willing to accept a sum below
the actual worth of the property.
The purchaser of this valuable tract is
Mr.. j. N. Penrose, a gentleman of ex-
tensive means who resides at Coatsville,
Pa and who paid this region a visit dur
ing the past summer. Mr.. Penrose pur-
poses stocking this ranch in the early
spring with 200 head of large American
mares and embarking in the mule raising
business. Stables for the winter shelter
ing of the stock will be provided, and as
the land is more than capable of affording
ample grazing the year round besides
yielding enormous crops of hay and oats
for the sustenance of the herd, it will be
seen that everything is favorable to a most
successful prosecution of the business,
Mule raising is essentially a profitable in
dustry, and while it is an expensive one,
the great demand fer mules in the East
ern markets and the steady and high
prices which they command insure profit
of no meagre extent from the beginning
of the sales.
K The management of this important
business will be in the hands OF Mr.. G..
P. Johns, who formerly occupied a posi-
ton in the G. P. Organ hardware store
at Cheyenne, and later at Buffalo, Mr..
Johns knows the genus horse like a book,
and large experience in handling that class
of live stock has admirably fitted him for
the responsible place.
Aside from congratulating johnson
county The LEADER can add but little
to the foregoing. 1t is certain, however,
that the breeding CT mules will prove a
profitable industry, as has often been
claimed in these columns. For some rea-
son horsemen have always been averse to
handling the long cared creatures.

The Uncred,tIng clipper.

Yesterdays Boomerang apologies for
recently stating that a United States
marshal had passed through Laramie with
a noted criminal, Marshal Carr having
informed the editor that the prisoner had
been detained at Omaha. The Boomer
ang sets forth that it had been misled by
an Omaha paper and then adds:
The Boomerang has now placed itself
right, and the Cheyenne Sun, which
clipped the article from our columns, but
failed to give credit, has an opportunity
to do likewise.

AND JUDGE.
Something About the C~OlOradian's Visit
to Cheyenne.

The famous and apparently sanguine
Blackburn-R ucker controversy has at
tracted not a little attention in Cheyenne
for the reason that Judge Rucker, the
Co~lorldian who presumes to brand the
Kentucky senator as a f~alsltier, Is quite
well known here.
Rucker attended the last territorial
fair and was a prominent figure on the
quarter stretch. For a couple OF days he
was in the judges stand, and as before
intimated in this paper, rendered ma
terial assistance to Little Joe, the Denver
horse, in winning the 2:30 trot over Billy
Hayward and Mr.. Beckwith's Ollie.
Mr.. Rucker is exceedingly horsey, has
a happy faculty Of guessing the winner
pretty regularly, and is an aggressive bet
ter. His confidence in the
honesty of all mankind is
d%ivinely sublime. One day of
the meeting he sat in the reporters
stand and after laying a IS wager with a
prominent citizen selected THE LEADERS
representative, with whom heat that time
had no acquaintance, as stakeholder. He
had no change, but without hesitation
skinned a $50 bill off a very healthy roll
and placed it IN the trembling lily white
hand Of the newspaper man. He then
hurried over to the pool selling booth and
did not return until after the race in ques-
ton. On the presumption that an hon
est man believes everyone else to be hon
est Judge Fuckers integrity is not to be
questioned. Still there are many Chey-
enne people who think his fitness for a
place in the judges stand on a race track
is open to argument.
Rucker, as the writer remembers, is a
stout built man about medium height
and middle aged, sociable, of agreeable
presence and pleasing address. AT pres
ent it looks as though he and Senator
Blackburn would try conclusions with six
shooters. The trouble arises over their
respective versions of an interview with
President Cleveland prior to the recent
election.

The Carbon T


Correspondence Laramie Times.l
The fire last Sunday night started in
Reeds clothing store, next to the drug
store and post office, and spread with such
rapidity that everybody gave up hopes to
save any portion of the business property.
Everything movable was taken from the
buildings down to the Scranton house,
and the citizens as a whole worked in
harmony to save the property Of their
neighbors. 1t was not long before the
fire spread. The drug store, the barber
shop and DIR. Ricketts, Office were envel-
oped in flames ere much work could be
done, but from the time our citizens saw
that no hope could be entertained lest
they would tear down the buildings which
came next in turn, they started and made
quick work of it. This vas the only
method of saving the balance of the bust
ness property.
