He Is All Right.

Henry Altman, minus his alligator skin
valise, has returned from the West I'M
SCARED and in good spirits. The alder
man gives a very graphic account of his
struggles with a blood-thirsty highway
man, near Green River, last week. The
footpad assaulted Mr.. Altman from be-
hind, but would have been severely pun
ished had he not sought safety in fight.
Mr.. Altman now. only wishes that his
covetous friend may some day become a
member of the Cheyenne street brigade
and be assigned to duty in the city park.
In that instance he will be compelled to
act as motive power for the one horse
lawn mower and be fed on barbed wire
and clover.

A recent special order from the head
quarters of the department of the Platte
says The companies of the 2lst in
fantry now at Fort Du Chesne, Utah, are
relieved from duty at that post, to take
effect upon the arrival Of four companies
of the 10th infantry at Fort Du Chesne,
apd are assigned to stations as follows
Company B Gocelyn's) and K (Cor-
man's) to Fort Douglas, Utah. Company
f (Haughey's), to Fort Bridger, Wyo.
Company 1 (~Spurgin's), to Fort Sidney,
Neb.
Upon the receipt of this order the com

Lost the Certificate.

A private soldier at Fort Russell named
Edward Carey, about two years g de-
posted 5000 in the Stock Growers bank,
He took a certificate of deposit for the
same. A few days ago he went to the
bank for the purpose of withdrawing the
money. He claimed that he had lost
the certificate. which is like all certificates
payable upon presentation when properly
endorsed. Cashier Hay consulted an at
torney on the subject and was informed
that if be paid the amount over and the
certificate turned up later in the hands of
a third party he would be forced to again
pay the sum originally deposited with in
terest up to date. Nh. Hay offered to pay
over the amount at once if an indemnity
bond was gwen him SO as to do away with
the fear of having to pay the money a
second time. This, the soldier wonld not
do. so the matter will be submitted to
Judge Maginnis, who will rule upon it.
OF course the only concern of the bank is
to avoid the possibility of being placed in
a position that it would be necessary to
pay the money twice.

CONSUMED By FLAMES.
Child of MIR. and Mrs. Jos. smith Burned
IN a Ranch Fire.

Ranch con~flagrations are of very rare oc-
currence and perhaps for this reason gen.
orally quite serious. Realizing that no
facilities for the extingushment of flames
are available the ranchmen are very care
full. A ranch fire has not occurred in this
immediate vicinity for several years, and
two recently reported from Carbon county
and said to have been Of incendiary origin.
The foregoing is suggested by the an
nouncement of a shocking c~ausalty at the
Big Laramie River ranch OF Howard
Wyndham last Friday. meagre particulars
OF which have Just reached this city.
The place is one of the finest home
ranches in that section, being well i'm
proved, with a large tract under %cultiva-
ton.
At the time mentioned Jos, Smith who
manages the ranch was absent and his
wife was in a field quite a distance from
the house. When Mrs. Smith observed
that the house was in flames she was
greatly excited and only by almost super
human exertion succeeded in reaching
the place, bent on securing her two chill
dren, aged 4 and l years. Near the house
the lady met the elder, who had escaped
through a window.
The woman worked as only a mother
could to reach her baby. She fought the
flames and smoke in fruitless efforts to
reach the child until exhausted and final
ly sank to the ground and Historically
moaned and ~affectionately caressed n
child as she watched the burning building
in which the other was being consumed.
The woman is completely Frustrated.
The flames were communicated to an
adjoining building and both structures and
the contents burned to the ground.
One Wilson, a young Englishmen who
recently arrived in Wyoming lost all of his
effects in the fire.

A Reunited Party.

MarksviIle Review. e
During the heat of the last
campaign the Review gave as
one of it's reasons for the support
of Gen. Nichols, that he was the
man to reunite and harmonic
tie different factions of the
Democratic party. We were
satisfied then Gen. Nichols
would if elected Governor ac-
cord to all Democrats due re-
cognition, and that no class of
Democrats would be made to
feel that they were in the slight
est degree ostracised. We were
satisfied then, that Gen. Nichols
in his earnest effRortto harmon%
we the party would rise superior
to all prejudice, and would give
to chose who opposed his nomi-
nation the ADMINISTRATION due
them as fellow DEMOCRATS. The
on DIT, now currently reported
and generally believed, is that
one of the first acts of his admi-
nistration will be to remember
his late opponent for Democrat
ic nomination, Hon. s. D. Nc
Emery, by appointing him as
Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana, theree
by recognizing the services of
Governor McEnery to theaState
of Louisianaand the Democratic
party. That this will be a grace
full act ON the part of Gov: Mich
oils no one can deny AID thatit
is in keeping with this true nor
bility of character, all who know
him well, can truly testify.
When Gen. Nichols said his
object was to harmonic the
party, he meant exactly what
he said and our word for it he
will ever keep this aim in view.
He is not going to forget and
ignore the good and able men
of what has been called the Nc
Emery faction, but will reward
them for party service whenever
circumstances justify. Those
who think that appointments to
Office, during Gov. Nichols term
of Office, will be made exclusive
~ from what was calle4mtltea3
Nichols faction, have formed a
very low and unjust estimate of
his character-they do not know
the man. His heart is big and
patriotic enough to take in the
whole Democratic party, the
whole State of Louisiana.
Starting out wi b the appoint
ment of Governor McEnery to
a place on the Supreme Bench,
he win steadily pursue, till the
close of his administration, the
good Work,-that of harmonic
ing the party. lie will cause to
be numbered among the things
that were, such unfortunate facts
as the Nichols faction. the Nc
faction, or any other fac
ton.
Under his wise and patriotic
administration there viii be a
.'nited Democracy.
As one of the most pronounce
ed Nichols men in the late cam
paign, We can say that the APP
pointment of Gov. McEnery as
Justice, will meet
with our hearty approval. Our
opposition to Gov. McEnery
ceased with the campaign. We
recognize in him a Democrat
who has done good service for
his State and party

Texas Invites Louisiana.

Baton Rouge Capitolian-Advocate, March12
The accompanying invitations
to the Louisiana Press Assocla-
ton to visit Dallas in May next,
were received this morning by
the President of the Association
From the second meeting of the
National Editorial Association,
when the Press Associations OF
Texas and Louisiana had occa-
sion to travel together from Me-
ridian, Miss, to Cincinnati, the
most friendly relations were for
med between the editors of the
two States. They stopped at the
same hotel in Cincinnati, and
acted together on the principal
questions before the National
Association. At Denver, last
September, the Texans and Lou
isianians again met as old friends
and the same fraternal inter-
changes that had marked the
Cincinnati reunion again occur
red to weld the editors of the
two States moro closely.
Al the Denver meeting, when
the contest for the next place of
meetinfs had narrowed down to
New Orleans and San Antonio,
the Louisiana delegation, in APP
probation of the conrtesies
shown them in other matters by
the Texans, declined to compete
with San Antonio singly, and,
after having withdrawn New Or
leans, moved to elect San Anto-
MO by reclamation.
Gallant Texas never tires in
lofty acts of courtesy, hence
these invitations to their Louisi-
ana brethren, who, we are conf
dent, will gratefully acknowl-
edge the great compliment en-
bodied in the invitations, and
will doubtless endeayor, at their
meeting in Opefousas, on May
to arrange for the proposed
reunion at Dallas.
The fraterniI relations so hap
PLY established between the
Press Associations of the two
States are but the outgrowth of
the long friendship existing be-
tween their citizens, and the
press will not fail to
do it's part in giving expression
t0 the fraternal feelings that
every true Louisianian bears to-
the people of the great
Lone Star empire that lies be-.
You'd our western borders.
