The Fine Bed Room Set Goes Out
of Town.

AhS bIO ldll VI 1000 ldl al
Library hall last evening with a grand
carnival for the benefit of the Ladies Re-
lief association. The attendance was I'M
prccedentedly large, and joy and mirth
were unconfined. 1t was intended
to auction off the articles left,
but so liberal were the patrons
that at midnight the tables were
nearly all cleared. Even the ice cream
was exhausted and the candy all eaten,
while a lemonade famine was threatened.
On but one previous occasion since the
completion of the opera house were there
SO many dancers on the foor-the famous
Alert masquerade ball, when fears that
the floor would collapse were seriously
entertained.
The fun was fast and furious indeed,
for all was genuine enjoyment. The
ladies enjoyed soliciting chances on va
rious articles to be ratified, and the gentle
men were lattered by their attention and
complied with all requests without scarcely
a murmur.
The contest between bachelors j. +.
Wild and John Shea for the handsome
sofa pillow donated by Mrs. F. L. Robin
son was more exciting than a horse race.
1t was a neck and neck struggle from 10
o'clock until the polls closed an hour later.
The admirers of the two candidates sur
rounded Clerk and Judge McGill and
kept him busy making change and WELD
ing the chalk. More than 800 was re-
ceived at the last moment, and the ex-
element was intense as one or the other
forged ahead. The Wild syndicate
played a strong game to the last, and
landed their nan a inner by a handsome
majority. Appended is the official score /:
,223
918
Mr.. Wild's friends were greatly elated,
and the Camp Carlin contingent took
their defeat very good naturally.
The winner of the beautiful trophy and
the title of the most popular bachelor in
town is known to all as the cashier of the
First National bank. No one envys Mr..
Wild his merited popularity.
In the rafting interest centered on the
CHANGING of the fine cherry bedroom set.
A few more than 400 tickets had been
issued and they were sold in every own
in the territory. When the hour for de-
termining the ownership of the furniture
arrived the ticket stubs were placed in a
hat, Little Mamie McDevitt drew a bit
of DASHBOARD from the receptacle and
Father F. j. Nugent announced that the
holder of ticket No. 63 was the lucky per-
son. The name appearing upon the stub
was that of John Flynn, Union Pacific
agent at Hillsdale, a station a few miles
east Of Cheyenne. The gentleman was
not present and has never seen his hand
some prize. Considerable regret that the
set must leave Cheyenne was expressed,
but there was no g%rumbling.
