A DECIDED SUCCESS.
The Musicale Given Last Evening at
Mrs. Carey's Residence.
About Two Hundred People Crowd
the Spacious ParIors.
An Excellent Programme Which
was Keenly Enjoyed.

Two hundred people gathered at the
spacious residence of Judge and Mrs.
Carey last evening, the occasion being a
musicale. The purpose of the musicale
was to raise funds with which to purchase
a memorial window TO place in st. Marks
new church in memory of the late Mrs.
Pearse who did much to bring about a
high degree of proficiency in the choir.
All preparations for the event, with the
exception of the musical programme,
we're made by Mrs. Carey. The pro.
gramme was arranged by Prof. Pasmore
with great skill and judgment.
A piano and an organ were placed in
the hallway of the Carey residence and
the folding doors OF the four adjoining
rooms were practically one large concert
room. Seats were arranged to the best
possible advantage.
The programme of the evening opened
auspiciously with a trio on the piano,
cello and violin, by Messrs. Pasmore,
Hutchinson and Simons.
This was succeeded by a ladies quar-
tette by the Misses Whitcomb. Bergman,
Crook and Mrs. Glover. 1t was a pretty
little piece that won an encore to which
the ladies responded.
Following this came a c~ontralo song,
"Oh, Happy Day." rendered by Mrs. R.
N. Heath with admirable effect.
Miss Bergman's soprano song, violin
accompaniment by Mr.. Hutchinson,
evoked an encore to which the lady re-
sponded with a graceful little song that
was even better received.
Concone's judith" was given by Mrs.
Glover with that exquisite feeling and
richness of vocalization that characterizes
all her musical work. The superb rendi-
ton well observed the hearty encore it
received.
In Miss Whitcomb's song, Heaven
Hath Shed a Tear" she was accompanied
on the violin by Mr.. Hutchinson. 1t was
daintily rendered and heartily encored.
A either solo by Mr.. Brooks was a
very exquisite performance that the audi
ence keenly enjoyed.
The male quartette, Messrs. Heath,
Pasmore, Henderson and Whitcomb, gave
Simon. the Cellerer," with admirable
vocal effect.
The performance Of Handel's Largo
on the piano, organ and cello, by Mrs.
Sturgis, Mrs. Adams, Mr.. Hutchinson
and Mr.. Simons, reached the plane Of
professional excellence. 1t is seldom that
a audience at an amateur concart has an
opportunity of listening to a performance
marked by such rare technical skill. Each
instrument was handled superbly, and
the combined effect fairly enraptured the
audience.
The musicale was in every respect a
charming success. 1t netted Sll2, which
will be devoted to the worthy object for
which the concert was given.

The wyoming Mystery.

The LEADER has from time to time
contained special kilograms in relation to
the assassination of Two men by a third
nearIthe Pick ranch, in Carbon county.
The ruthless murderer completely de-
stroyed the identity of his victims, but it
has been learned that they were S. Nor
rs VAIN, of Philadelphia, and Chas.
Livingstone Strong, of New York. The
guide told ranchmen that they were horse
traders, but it now appears hat the muir
dered men were young gentlemen of
wealth on a hunting and sightseeing ex-
petition.

Editorial ExcursionIs,s.

The Republican Valley Editorial asso-
citation, composed OF Nebraska newspaper
men. arrived from the west in a special
car yesterday morning and spent the day
in Cheyenne. They have been en- route
about two weeks, and during that time
have visited Salt Lake and nearly all
points of interest in scenic Colorado.
The travellers we're delighted with the
Magic City, and spent the time allotted
them here in pleasurable sightseeing. In
the course ofthe day the magnificent pub
lie buildings and palatial residences came
in for their full share of attention. The
party spent fully an hour at the capitol,
and never for a m ceased p~raising
its many beautiful features. A number
OF the excursionists drove about the city
and to Fort Russell, In the party were
the following ladies and gentlemen:

THE NJ
Robert w. Baxter leaves Omaha and
Settles in Cheyenne,

Robert w. Baxter, the new Cheyenne
Green River trainmaster, reached the city
on Yesterday mornings flyer and is once
more in harness on Wyoming soil. The
gentleman was greeted most cordially by
his old associates and assigned pleasant
quarters in the new Union Pacific depot.
In referring to Mr.. Baxter's departure
from Omaha the Republican, among
other things, says:
Robert Baxter is a fine gold watch
richer this morning than he was yesterday.
Robert'had a very unexpected but exceed
lngly pleasant little surprise thrust upon
him last evening. To-day Mr.. Baxter
leaves for his new field of operations at
Cheyenne. and as the young man has a
goodly number of friends who regret to
see him 90 away, they concluded it would
be a nice thing to do something towards
providing him with a memen-
to of their esteem and affec-
ton. Consequently, when he least
expected it last evening, the boys sur
rounded MT. baxter and through MIR.
Lichtenberger, who acted as their chosen
spokesman, presented him a magnificent
watch and cham. The recipient Sas
completely taken off his base, but could
not conceal the fact that it made him ex-
tremely happy to be SO kindly remem-
bered. The circumstances making Mr..
Baxter's removal from Omaha necessary
are most unfortunate. He is concededly
one of the most competent and successful
trainmasters On any railroad in this coun-
try. The Nebraska division is by long
odds the most important Of the Union
Pacific, though it does not require SO
much fine, difficult railroading as the
Wyoming division, which lies mostly in
the Rocky mountains.

WITHOUT A REaUIsIT1oN.
Nebraska oficials acting on wyoming
Sol.

Tuesday morning the sheriff of Ne
braska county aud two stalwart deputies
struck the Laramie river in this county in
pursuit Of a horse thief. At a ranch he
learned that the culprit was but a short
distance ahead, apparently bound for
Fort Laramie and was also told that his
man was fully armed and well mounted,
Undismayed the doughty official and his
faithful deputies continued OIL the warm
trail. In due course of time the fleeing
desperate was overtaken, disarmed and
bound. Three revolvers were pointed at
the head of the fugitive. as a warrant
from a Nebraska justice of the peace was
read to him at a point about four miles
east of Fort Laramie and in this territory.
The man who read the warrant was SO
nervous that he repeated a portion of the
Lords prayer to the unabashed thief,
who in the meantime leaned against
a buggy wheel and laughed aloud
when the reader called upon one of his
companions to discipher a portion of the
document. An eye witness to the thrill
ing incident declares that all parties with
in pistol range appeared to be affected
with buck fever, and seemed in a tremen-
dous hurry to return to the saudhills of
Nebraska with the cool desperate. 1t
was also noticed hat while the latter
appeared calm. he did not have sufficient
presence of mind to ask if his captors
carried a requisition with which to empha-
size the remarks Of their six shooters.
A reporter learned that the above
occurrence is not the first of its character.
In previous instances the matter has been
kept from the public for fear of defeating
justice. OF course the thing is somewhat
irregular, but there is a legal remedy for
the aggrieved person.

GLITTERING GOLD.
Astonishing Result or Blast In the
Lake superior Ccmpanys Mine.
Near 1shpeming.

The richest lot OF gold rock ever taken from
a mine east OF the Rocky mountains was
brought into happening Friday morning
from the Lake Superior Iron Company's gold
shaft, seven miles northeast OF there. over
900 pounds Of the rock was disloged by
single blast. The gold Is so abundant that II
sticks out Of the rock, and the best chemists
place the value Of the 300 pounds OF rock at
$4,000 It II believed that the rock will
"pan OUT 100000 q ton.
This Is the fifth rich discovery In the
shaft, and many minor discoveries have not
been made public. The quartz vein on which
the shaft was sunk was discovered three
years ago by Ishpeming men. but with
exception OF exploding one charge Of dyna-
mite, which exposed rich pocket OF gold
bearing quartz, nothing was done because
the property was owned by the Lake super.
Tor Iron Company, which would not sell the
property. Last summer the company put n
few miners nj work OF the property aud a
test shaft was sunk about eighteen feet af
the bottom Of which small pocket was
struck which produced gold-carIying rock
which assaycd $4,000 10 the ton. All work
was suspended then, and nothing was done
until two months ago. Rich rock has been
encountered all along, and the wonderful
ind of Friday has set the people wild. The
shaft l. down twenty-five feet and i about
eighteen inches wide at the bottom. The
Michigan gold mine, which adjons this shaft
has found rich rock In smaller quantities.
There Il no doubt that one OF the greatest
gold mines In the world has been found at
IShpcmlng.
