Theodore Agazzie in a Stupor AtteI
Drinking a Harmless Potion.

The sheriff and his deputies are not
quite decided as to whether Agazzie, the
Silver Crown homicide, recently found
guilty of murder in the second degree,
wishes to commit suicide or desires to be
removed to the county hospital.
"Frenchy, "as this prisoner is called, has
greatly annoyed the officials and his cell
mates recently. At the request of the
latter he was allotted an entire apartment
to himself, but still was not contented.
He has often threatened to end his own
existence and harm his fellow prisoners.
Patterson and Evertts, who ''roomed'
with "FrenchY" warned the officers
against allowing the melancholy foreigner
the use of a razor. They subsequently
watched him closely and discovered that
he was greatly discontented and inclined
to be unruly.
Sunday night Agazzie lay in his cell in
a stupor apparently, and to all appear
ances a very sick man. County Physl-
clan Marston was summoned and pro-
nounced the man in perfect health. A
search of the Frcnchman's cell at this
time.rcvealed an empty phial which had
contained t%incture of iron. 1t is possible
that Agazzie thought to kill himself with
an overdose of the harmless drug. He
was disappointed, however, as the potion
simply afflicted him with an insatiate ap,
petite. DR.. Marston pronounced his pa
tiept in perfect health, and the morose
Frenchman soon frightened up, but con.
tinued rebellious.
Confinement does not agree with the
miner. Despite the fact that his pros
poets for a new trial are very good, he is

airy business incident to the opening of the
house, council joint resolution providing
for rules for the government of the two

On behalf Of the committee Chairman
Tom Hooper submitted a report recon-
mending the concurrence with the coun
Gil Joint resolution providing for the IN
ployment of assistant chief and assistant

question at adoption of the report was the
occasion for remarks by several members.

ing the council resolution. Mr.. Van
Devanter declared the resolution illegal.
Mr.. Pease conceded that it was a viola.
ton OF the statutes, but asserted that ne
cessity knew no law. Mr.. Blydenburg
hoped that the house would secure
the services of assistant clerks
but did not wish to go on record as advo-
eating a violation of the law. The matter
was disposed of by accepting instead of
adopting the report.
The question of the suspension of the
rules for the purpose of passing upon the
joint resolution being preached, Mr.. Van
Devanter spoke upon the subject for thirty
minutes. He cited the failure of an as.
sistant chief clerk in the Idaho legislature
to collect any compensation, and read ex-

leges of the school during the continu-
ance of disease.
Second-In cases of measles, scarlet

Gated and the clothing disinfected.

the patient nor any person coming in CON
tact with him or the premises where he
resides, shall be admitted to school until
the board so directs.

THEY MET TO PART.
But Meet Again to Marry After an Inter-
val of Twenty-Seven Years.

One of the pleasantest men in the terri
torlal council is George W. Carleton,
whose home is billiard and who repre-.
sents Uinta county. Mr.. Carleton is one
OF few members from out of town, in
either house, who is accompanied by his
wife. Both are well along toward middle
life, but they have only been married a
few months. Thereby hangs a story.
Mr.. Carleton is one of the very Oldest
old timers. He first reached Utah early
in the sixties and was a government Off
cial and recognized Gentle at a time when
it was a popular belief among the Nor
mons that there were no good Gentiles on
this side of the Styx. Mr.. Carleton was
soon singled out as an uncompromising foe
OF the polygamists. 1t was during this
time that he first met and fell in love with
Miss Snow, daughter Of Judge Snow, a
Judge of the district court. They were
engaged, but things soon got so exceed
ingly hot that Mr.. Carleton, to maintain
his existence on the face of the earth,
found it very advisable to remove from
Utah.
He finally driited into Uinta county
ultimately became station agent at Hill
lard, and is now a contractor in getting
out railroad ties. Mr.. Carleton, it APP
pears, met opposition to his suit from
other than Mormon sources. So, strange
as 1t may appear, things remained in
statu quo for a period of twenty-one
years. Miss Snow meantime became her
fathers clerk, and was admitted to the
bar.
Last fall fate threw the oldtime lovers
together again, when their delayed hopes
bore fruition in marriage. There is not
now in Wyoming a happier couple or a
couple more esteemed or respected by
their neighbors.

A Long Debate on the Question of
Violating the Statute.


Tho senior house is now fully organ
lied and work has commenced in earnest
Mr.. Loucks, johnson. rave notice o
the introduction of two bills, one to regu
late banks and banking, Incorporating
those provisions in force in many of the
states. The second measure fathered by
the gentleman is a compliance with Gov.
ernor Moonlight's suggestion that each
county be divided into commissioner dis.
tricts.
The bills which W. II. Holiday, AL.
bany, last week announced that he would
introduce yesterday, we're read. They
provide for the repeal of the maverick
law, the statute allowing a bounty on the
scalps of wild animals, and the abolition
of the county Offices of stock detectives.
The only opposition to the gentleman's
measures will probably be a stand against
dispensing with stock detectives.

the subject. The tribunal held with the
plaintiff and the legislature that the serv-
ices of the assistant were necessary, but
that the laws of the United States spe-
officially prohibited the employment of ad-
ditional officers.
MI. Adams, Judge Pease and Mr..
Summers responded. The former wished
the resolution to be adopted simply
for the purpose of disposing of it. Mr..
Pease believed that in spite OF the provi-
sions of the statutes, no law would be VIC
lated by the employment of assistants.
The decision of the Idaho court was not
final. There was a possibility of a mis-
take on their part. Mr.. Summers called
attention to precedent, averrirg that no
trouble had been experienced by other
Legislatures, and that competent attorneys
been consulted and had advised the EN-
ployment of assistants.
The motion to suspend the rules and
concur in council joint resolution provid-
ing for the selection of additional help
was lost.
REPORTS REFERRED.
A number of reports from territorial
officers were received, and on motion re-
ferred to the proper committees when the
same shall have been appointed.
NOTICES OF BILLS.
Mr.. Van Devanter informed the house
that he would soon introduce a bill pro-
ylding for the adoption of the revised
statutes. Upon the request of Mr..
Pease and with the consent of the mem
bers the bill was introduced, read the requi-
site number of times and passed.
Leroy Grant, Albany, thinks that the
law fixing the rates of interest in this ter
ritory should be revised. He will also
introduce Il bill amending the lien law.
Mr., Lafrentz's idea that all voters
should register a number of days before
each election is an excellent one. His
registration bill will doubtlessly becomes
law.
MIR. Adams, Laramie, proposes to pun
ish INSCRIPTIONS horse and cattle dealers
who provide pedigres for scrub animals
which they offer for sale. His bill makes
1t a misdemeanor to claim a false registra-
ton or pedigree for horse or horned AMI
NAL.

Those Assistants.

The assistants provided for in the u
Gil joint resolution creating minor offices
are already in the service of that body,
notwithstanding the fact that the house
refuses to concur in the resolution. The
stand taken by the representatives is en-
dorsed by the best legal talent in the ter
ritory, but members of the senior house
aver that assistant clerks are just as neces-
sary as the Offices provided for by CON
gressional enactment.
The outcome Of the matter is awaited
with considerable interest.

OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AGAIN.
w. E.. Ladd the Commission Man Driven
10 the WALL.

As long since as Sunday morning it was
rumored that w. E. Ladd, the commits.
sion merchant whose establishment the
Wyoming commission house, Is on Sew
enteenth street, opposite the city, hall had
failed
Yesterday afternoon the gentleman
filed an assignment conveying all his
property to Valentine Baker, of this
city.
Mr.. Ladd came to this city about eigh-
teen months ago, embarked in the retail
produce business, made money, and last
August purchased the business he has
managed since hat time. Some nine
weeks since he established a branch house
in Denver. This venture led to his fail
ure.
The immediate cause of Mr.. Ladd's
embarrassment was an unfortunate inves.
ments in -four. During the holidays he
purchased large quantities of this product
and later, when in need of money, was
utterly unable to realize on it. Every eff
fort was made to transform, but without
avail. The market seemed paralyzed.
Flour was an undesirable product.
Last Saturday claims a~ggregating about
$4,000 were presented at the Denver
house and immediate settlement de-
manded. The laws of Colorado permit
ted the creditors to at once levy upon the
the stock to satisfy their claims, and they
at soon took possession. Mr.. Ladd, who
had been in Denver for two weeks en-
deavoring to straighten out the tangle, at
once came to Cheyenne and made an as
Segment, as stated above.
To a LEADER representative, Mr.. Ladd
last evening said that the failure was due
entirely to outside influences. His trade
here could not have been better. With
one exception, he handled more grain,
produce and -four than any house in the
city. But for the aggression Of the Den
yer flour combination, the crash would
have been averted.
The creditors of the merchant are for
the most part Nebraska, Iowa and other
eastern parties. These claimants he ex-
poets to satisfy at an early date. His
indebtedness to Cheyenne parties is very
small.
Mr.. Ladd will close his place of bust
ness for the present, but assures THE
LEADER that he will soon again embark
in business. He has unlimited and well
grounded faith in the town, having pros
pered since his arrival here.
That another failure has occurred is to
be regretted. The most ~deplorable cir
cumstancc incident to the suspension is
the fact that 1t may have a bad effect
abroad when there is no cause for distrust.
MIR. Ladd asserts that his embarrassment
was not due to local trade, but that on
the contrary his Cheyenne business was in
a prosperous condition, and that but for
the Denver branch he would not have
been compelled to assign.

-fsiackburn's Indignation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.-Gen. Harri-
son is debating whether he. will go to
New York next month or have eastern
leaders confer with him here. The sit
uation here and in New York is ident-
zeal, ss in both Gen. Harrison has more
friends than he may be able to satisfy
according to their estimate of their serv-
ice, and fully compromising ahead he
seeks concert of action on the part of
those whose advice he will doubtless
give weight to. He is credited with hay-
ing solved the difficult problem by desir-
ing his supporters to agree on candidates
for important places, and when they
have done so those whom they put for
ward will probably receive the plums.
Several conferences were held here last
week, and the names suggested are I'M
der consideration. In New York the
stakes are higher, but the party interests
are the same, and Gen. Harrison il not
disposed to bestow patronage on any one
OF the leaders who may thereby seek to
obtain supremacy. 1t is not going to be
the question with him whether Tom
Platt. Warner Miller or Chauncey
M. Depew shall be the coptroll-
ing spirit in New York politics,
but If personal considerations cut more
figure with them than party success. 1t
is probable he prefers the grangers'
friend, as every body knows Warner
Miller was for Sherman, Tom Platt for
Alger, and Depew for himself when the
New York delegation arrived at Chicago.
While some of the New York delegates
swerved off to Sherman, Platt and De-
pew went to Harrison, through Depew's
clever manipulation. All things CON
sidered Depew occupies a decidedly adj
vantageous position. with Platt close by
him.
However, Warner Miller. owing to his
brilliant campaign in New York, will be
counted in the triumvirate.
The admission of Dakota as two states
is assured il Gen. Harrison's views are
adhered to. A. G. Mellette, the pro
visional governor of South Dakota, who
called upon the president elect Sunday,
feels certain of this, and gays: While
/ did not mention the Dakota delegations
desires to Gen. Harrison; we know how
he feels On the subject, and what his de-
sires are. He drafted the original bill to
admit Dakota as two states, and that ia
what we peek. -
