A WEATHER BUREAU.
A Territorial Signal Service to be
Established.
Volunteer Observers to Record
Rainfall and Temperature.
A Great Work Inaugurated by the
Hydraulic Engineer.

Through the efforts of Hydraulic Engi-
neer Mead a Wyoming weather bureau is
to be established. Mr.. Mead contributed
not a little to bringing a similar service to
a high standard in Colorado. and under
his experienced and competent manage.
ment the territorial bureau will doubtless
become a recognized factor in the agricul-
tural progress and development of Wyom.
ing. The engineer deems that knowledge
OF the actual mount OF water needed to
stimulate the growth of cereals and vege-
tables is of great importance. To ascer-
tain this it becomes necessary to learn the
the exact precipitation, the capacity of the
bitches being a matter of record.
Six stations are to be established in
agricultural districts and the data is to be
secured by volunteer observers. The tenn
perature, another Important consideration,
will also receive attention. By making
application to the war department and
furnishing an indemAifylng bond Mr..
Mead has been enabled to place proper
apparatus at the disposal of his observers.
Six rain guages and half a dozen sets of
thermometers for use in this work arrived
from Washington yesterday, and will be
forwarded to the stations in due time.
Signal Offices and observers have been
designated as follows:
j. f. Carey, Horse creek, Little Bear
postofice, Laramie county.
Hon. j.. A. Johnston, Wheatland.
Laramie county.
Samuel W. Downey, Laramie City,
Albany county.
Frank Mccoy, Sheridan, Sheridan
county.
Two additional observers will be ap.
pointed at an early day.
The Importance of this latest undertak-
ing OF the energetic engineers can scarcely
be overestimated. Let the granger be
ridiculed so long as his good natured ad-
versaries choose, but the fact that farm.
ing is destined to be successful in Wyo.
ming cannot be denied. This granted,
the struggling tiller of the soil should be
given every possible encouragement and
all assistance which can consistently be
accorded him by the people through their
official representatives.
When the grangers become adept irri
gators, and they must study in this direc.
ton, it will be found that much less water
will be required than at present.
In Colorado the farmer often burns
the midnight oil over the reports of the
state meteorological association and is
guided by its figures. These statistics
are also eagerly perused by prospective
investors.

HE WAS DETAINED.
A SwindIer Arrested Aboard an Outgo-
ing Freight Train.

Several Cheyenne merchants have been
mulcted quite heavily by aD Individual
who last evening was arrested while about
to flee from his dupes. The man is
Frank A. Wilbur, and he has secured
goods by representing that he was en-
ployed by the Union Pacific as a fireman,
and would settle all accounts on pay day.
Yesterday he priced watches at Zehner,
Buechner & Co. s, and asked leave to
take home a S45 time piece and get his
wife's opinion on the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing the purchase. He went direct from
the store to a pawn shop, and was given
some money and a receipt for the
article. The jewellers thought themselves
fully protected until they learned that
an order for his wages was worthless. for
the reason that no money was due him.
A warrant charging him with obtaining
goods under false pretences was issued,
and Deputy Sheriff Moore captured him
aboard an east bound cattle train which
was Just about to leave the yards. He
was taken to the county jail.
Wllburs' other victims are a drug store,
a gents furnishing goods house, a whole
sale liquor establishment, a butcher shop
and a grocery store.
The swindler lived on Twelfth street,
and has a wife who but a few days since
gave birth to a child. The neighbors say
that he drinks and neglects his family.

A Clever Thief.


A robbery which netted the thief 1856
in cash and a pretty good revolver, was
committed in this city Sunday night.
Newman's corral, on West Seventeenth
street, was the place raided, and John
Cannon and w. N. Hudson were the vic
tins. The former longs for the pocket
book that cannot be found, and the latter
hopes that the weapon may eventually
involve the thief in trouble.
1t appears that Cannon was sleeping in
the corral Office, when lie was rolled in
the regulation style by an adept at the
business. Mr.. Cannon has no idea as to
how the thing occurred, but is certain that
he was relieved of the money during the
night.
The revolver was taken from a wagon
in the corral.
The police were Immediately notified of
the losses and furnished with a descrip-
ton of the smooth operator, but that in
dividual had doubtless left the city, as he
could not be found.

1t Was a .sScoop.,,

A rather amusing incident to illustrate
the pride which people about newspaper
offices feel in obtaining a good piece of
exclusive information was shown yester-
day when THE LEADER pressman, Joseph
Stroud, was accidentally shot in the head
with a revolver which he was pulling out
of a drawer.
After his wound had been dressed by
Or. Marston he was placed in a hack to
be taken to the hospital. Ed. Towse of
the local staff, and Capt. Smith accompa-
MED him. For the first half of the way
the injured man lay back in the carriage
apparently unconscious. He finally ap-
peared to come to, and in an anxious but
feeble voice said:
"Ho, Ed? Has the Sun got on to
this?
No. THE LEADER is going to have a
scoop on it." he was told.
"Oh, well then. it's all right" NUT
tered the injured man, contentedly sink
ing back as though his highest earthly
ambition had been realized.

Prepare for a Cool snap.

The approach Of the cold weather
brings to mind the necessity for securing
fur goods. Articles of this description
are always expensive, but an opportunity
is sometimes afforded for securing bar
gains. A very rare chance is now afforded
at Whitcomb's closing out sale where fur
goods, including caps, gloves, ETC., are
being sold for fifty cents on the dollar.
Tho chance to get good goods cheap is so
rare that no one should neglect the oppor-
tunity thus afforded.

An Equine Maeistrom,

There was a confusion of horses in
front OF the Union Mercantile company's
establishment yesterday afternoon and a
crowd was soon attracted TO the scene.
MIR. Logan, the ranchman, was ready to
depart for home when one of his horses
vigorously objected to starting on the
Journey. The lash was applied and a re-
taliatory message in the shape of the
horses heels beat a tattoo against the
front board of the wagon. The contrary
brute's mate Joined in the revolt and in
the struggles for liberty one fell to the
ground and the other rolled over on the
pavement. With the assistance of oblig-
ing ~bystanders the rig was finally righted.
