Lost and Found.

Some three months ago Charlie Rohm,
the well known and popular clerk at I'm
woods, lost a pocketbook containing $12O
and some papers and letters, the whole
bundle having dropped out of his pocket
in some way while driving the Underwood
delivery wagon. Charlie was disconso-
late, not so much over the loss of the
money as some of the papers which dis
appeared at the same time. He offered a
reward of $25, and had announcement
made to that effect blythe morning papers.
1t was all in vain, however, the pocket
book was not found at that time, and he
finally gave it up and thought no more
about it.
On Tuesday Of this week the pocket
book, part of its contents and the pa
pers' which Charlie considered of so
much value were found by a couple of
ladies who reside in the eastern portion of
tie city. OF the money about 800 in
badly bleached bills were found and some
but not all of the gold was also recovered.
But the valuable 'papers''-no wonder
Charlie was disconsolate at the loss of
them-proved to be some love letters from
his best girl as he states it, and these
letters-one of fourteen pages-has not
been restored to Charlie by the ladies,
and they claim to him that they have
read the missives. Charles is somewhat
discOnsolate over the situation.

THE JURY LIST.
Grand and Petit Jurors for Next Term
of Court.

County Clerk Jeffrey, Sheriff Sharpless
and Judges Fisher and Lee, constituting
an official board for that purpose, met at
the court house yesterday and proceeded
to draw sixteen names from the primary
jury box, which names constitute the
grand jury list for the coming term of
court, and also twenty-four names of per-
sons to serve as petit jurors. The two
lists are given below, and from them it
will be seen that in each case excellent
Jurors have been selected, and they will
be composed of men who-can-well be
called good apd lawful men as the
statutes provide. The lists are as fol-

1t is all a mistake to assert that a coal
famine exists in this city. There is no
coal famine or even any scarcity of fuel.
Van Tassell's coal yard is now filed to
OVERLOOKING. There never has been any
scarcity of coal SO far as this yard is con-
cerned. People may SEND in their orders
at any time and for any quantity to Van
Tassell's yard with the full assurance that
their wants will be carefully attended to.

To BE Reconstructed.

The maps of Wyoming, which were re-
ceived some time ago by Secretary Shan
non, and which were published in the
East under his official supervision and
from official governmental surveys, are to
be reconstructed and have been sent east
for that purpose. The new map will
among other things show the oil and min
eral belts in the territory with definitions,
and in several other respects will be an
improvement to the map as it now stands.
Prof. Bailey, who was formerly Wyo-
ming's territorial geologist, has done the
work of Indicating the oil belts. etc., and
in fact all of the changes to be made are
in accordance with his plans and sugges-
tons.

Pretty Hilarious.

A train Of beef cattle which passed
through Cheyenne eastward a night or
two ago, had on board the owners and the
employees of the cattle, and it would seem
that they did not care very much about
the welfare of the cattle nor of themselves.
They telegraphed to Cheyenne from some
point west of this place that they wanted
a special train for their cattle, and when
informed that a special train could not be
furnished, they resorted to the demijon
for consolation. The demijon happened
to be a pretty substantial one and the
boys got the worst of it. They could
not be made to indicate clearly-and in
deed not at all-where they desired to un
load and feed, and when the train passed
through this city several of the cattle
were down in the cars, and at least four of
them were dead when Pine Bluffs was
reached. At that point two of the cars
were side tracked and the balance Of the
train went on to North Platte.

THE KANSAS LIQUOR LAW.

New Step Taken by the Attorney Gen
erai of the State which VIII Prove of Gem
eral Interest.
A new step under the Kansas liquor law
has been taken at Wichita, Kan, which is
said to be the first instance of the kind on
record. Attorney General Hallowell has
filed a petition to foreclose lien of s., 1900
on the property of Rosa Werner, large
brick block on the most prominent street
OF that city. The defendant, it is claimed,
knowingly rented her property to one Rode
for the purpose of running what is known
as liquor Joint. This man, January IL,
was convicted of violations of the liquor
law, sent to the County Jail for over two
years and fined $3.50 and costs of suit.
The importance of the suit becomes appar-
ent when it is remembered that In many
or the business blocks are found these
joints run by men irresponsible and as
willing to be paid for staying in Jail as for
keeping bar. All the fines and costs against
them which have thus accumulated and now
amount to large sums will be charged upon
the owner, and will no doubt be enforced
by execution if the case is decided in favor
of the State

Death OF a Kansas Jurist-A New Pro-
hibiti0n MOyement-Other
News.

A large sized sensation has been created
at Louisville. Ky, by the announcement
that two of the most prominent whisky
merchants and distillers in that city are to
be turned out of the First Christian church,
the leading church of that denomination
there, for declining TO give up the manu-
iacture and sale of whisky. The two men
in question are Robert j. Tilford and
Thomas IL. Sherley, both of the highest
social and commercial standing.
The action of the church in the matter
has aroused a great deal of indignation
among the whisky men, who are leaders in
business circles and regard themselves
quite as good Christians as anybody else.
II is understood that this movement is TO
be followed up by other churches, and IN
that event the whisky men will very likely
establish a church of their own.
