NOT a CRANK.
An Individual who Wanted TO Make a
Confession.

The people living in the vicinity of the
park, as well as those who had occasion to
pass by st. Mary's cathedral late on Mon
day afternoon, became somewhat alarmed
at the singular actions and appearance of
a certain individual whom they saw and
heard and whose strange conduct was not
understood until yesterday morning. The
individual. whose name was not sscer-
tanned by anyone while he was in the city,
belongs out in the country about twenty
miles and no one who saw the man was
able to recognize him. His ueculiarities
consisted in kneeling down at any con-
%venient point and engaging in prayer.
He did this two or three times up in the
vicinity of the city park and his praying
or talking, whatever it might be called,
attracted the attention of everybody in
that vicinity and alarmed them, for it was
SUPPOSED that the man was a crank
Later on he made his appearance near st.
Mary's cathedral, where he went through
the same performances.
Finally on the order of County Physi-
clan Marston he was taken in tow by
Capt. Smith and led up to the hospital.
The man seemed unable to express him
self coherently. but at length after pass
ing the night quietly at the hospital he
was intervied by Steward Wilseck yester-
day morning to whom he told his story.
He simply wanted to find a French Cath
olic priest to whom he could make confess
sion and stated in explanation of his
kneeling down so often that in the coun-
try where he was born and raised
that was the way they did and he sup
posed it was all right to do so here. BEING
told that there would be a French priest
here in about a week to whom he could
make his confession he appeared satisfied
and started back to his work which as be-
fore stated is about twenty miles from
here and within twelve or fourteen miles

VISITING CAPITALISTS.
A Party From Lincoln, Neb., in
Cheyenne.
Looking Over the Field and May
Invest.
To Go Over the Cheyenne & North
ern To-day.

A party of capitalists from Nebraska,
most Of whom reside at Lincoln, arrived
in the city at an early hour yesterday
morning over the Cheyenne & Burlington
road and registered at the Inter Ocean.
The party consisted of Hon. Irving S.
Mannat, chancellor of the university OF
Nebraska, and one of the most accom-
plished scholars in this country; NJ. l..
Oyler, secretary and treasurer of the Lin
coin Paint and Color company; j. j.
Nimhoff. president of the State National
bank at Lincoln; NJ. L. Frister. banker;
G. X. Brown and w. G. Hawkins, CAPT.
%talists, and j. r. Chapman, banker. All
Of these gentlemen belong at the Nebraska
capital except Mr., Chapman, whose home
is at Cortland, Neb.
These gentlemen were met at the Inter
Ocean yesterday forenoon by a number Of
our leading members of the board OF trade
headed by Ex-Governor f. f.. Warren and
later On the entire party we're driven in
carriages around the city and in its imme-
date vicinity. They were shown the
lakes and other adiuncts of the city and
had pointed out to them the principal
public buildings and other places of inter
est.
Some of the party took a look through
the capitol, and all of them expressed
much surprise to find a city here in Wyo-
ming which is up in the front rank OF
cities in this country, though not with as
large a population as some. The mem
bers of the party took especial interest in
all that relates to the mineral wealth of
the country tributary to Cheyenne, and
made many inquiries about coal, iron, etc.
and it is presumed that they would not
hesitate to invest in this direction if they
see what they consider a good opening.
Several Of the party also made minute
inquiries regarding the value of real
estate and other property in this city, and
in this connection they also asked many
questions regarding the prospect for the
erection of mills and other manufactures
in this city, though upon this point it Is
supmised that one or two of the party
have considerable knowledge upon that
point already.
These gentlemen propose to take a
thorough look at this portion of the ter
ritory at least, and this morning, accom-
panied by Governor Warren and other
leading citizens of Cheyenne, they will
go north over the Cheyenne 4 Northern,
and will probably visit Hartville before
they return to Cheyenne.

An Inland WashOut.

Out on the northeastern road leading
from Cheyenne to Horse creek there was
more water day before yesterday than the
average old timer could stand. There was
a cloudburst up in the vicinity of the nine
mile ranch, and when the water got started
it swept with a vengeance down the draw
leading southeastward and there was so
much of it that a dry ravlne a few miles
out of the city was converted into a great
river so deep and SO wide that parties
coming into town could only cross it by
swimming their horses through the food.
Others, of whom A. Underwood was one,
went around it and came to the city on
another road.

DISTRICT COURT.
Many Cases Disposed of in That
Tribunal Yesterday.
The Court Intimates That &;
New Rule
In Regard to Jury Cases Will be
Adopted.

Yesterday proved to be something OF a
field day" In court and a considerable
number of cases were disposed of for the
term.
The forenoon session was devoted to the
hearing of further argument on the motion
to dissolve the attachment in the case Of
Fitzgerald VS.. London, and at their con.
clusion Judge Maginnis Immediately an
nounced his decision, which was that the
motion be overruled, the court being of
the opinion that there were ample grounds
existing for the issuance Of the attach
ment when the writ was applied.
In the case of the Territory Of Wyo-
ming VS.. Edwin Germs, CONVICTED of per-
Jury and sentenced to eight years in the
territorial penltentiary at Joliet, and also
in the case of the Territory VS.. Frank L..
Ketchum, sentenced to Joliet for four
years for a like %offense. the motions for
new trials we're submitted without argu-
ment on the afidavits heretofore filed and
the court TOOK them under advisement.
1t should be explained here that in
these two cases motions for new trials
have heretofore been overruled and the
cases are virtually pending in the supreme
court of the territory, but the motions
submitted Yesterday were based on newly
discovered evidence, the existence of
which was not known to T. NJ. Fisher,
attorney for the defendants, when the
prior motions were filed and argued.
During the day Judge Maginnis took
occasion to suggest that he should proba-
bly, adopt a new rule to go into effect at
the next November term of court by
which all cases in which matters of fact
are in issue shall be tried by the interven-
ton of a jury whether the litigant parties
call for one or not.
