The Limit of sycophancv.

V'UIIUNIINt INtTWUIIUdH'I
Some of the great expounders CT JUS
tice of the democratic persuasion are
bowling themselves hoarse over some
slight supposed irregularities in Governor
Warren's pre-emption proof. Those very
same fellows could pass over mountains of
democratic wrongs and irregularities at a
single stride, while at the same time they
would be perfectly amazed and dunn
founded at the sight of a supposed
shadow of a slight republican irregularity.
We can only account for it in this way,
they arc quite familiar with the former
and seldom meet with the latter.

THREE CARD MONTE.
The Old Game Successfully Worked
at Green River.
A Young Canadian is the Victim of
Clever Sharpers.
Enticed into a Convenient IeweIry
Store and Robbed.

Confidence men have been operating at
Green River for some time. Like eating
house people they robbed passengers
while the train waited. A victim selected
Monday was a young Canadian en- route
to his home at Hamilton, Ontarario, from
San Francisco. The confidence man pre-
tended to be a passenger, and accosting
the innocent asked for his company to a
hat store neal the station. To while
away the time the Canuck Joined the
shopping expedition. The pair entered
what appeared from the outside to be a
clothing emporium, but instead of hand
me.downs the shelves were loaded with
clocks.
Williams, the sharp, was disappointed
and said SO. He severely upbraided the
shop keeper for deceiying a confding pub
lie by false signs. The merchant was
humble, but insinuating as the most suave
Hebrew, and beseeched the visitors to
buy. offering to sacrifice anything in the
shop. Williams first listened. then return
ed from the door and in amoment abe trio
were discussing the merits of a patent
fulcrum short haul Waterbury. Before
the Canuck knew what he was dong he
was identifying the jack of diamonds by
the moss on his back. The squatty jack
had two companions and the three cards
we're manipulated rather clumsily by the
ieweler. The chump was invited to bet
and being 10th to overlook a sure thing,
selected a card for $40. Now came the
fine work. The merchant laid the cards
down and Williams crimped the corner
of the queen on the sly, taking care that
the Canuck noticed it. Then the ieweler
offered to bet his store that the travellers
eye could not follow the paste board lady.
The lamb put up S35 and of course lost.
AS he squealed Williams started for the
train announcing hat it was leaving. The
game was spoiled, for hat s35 was the
worldly store of the Hamilton youth, and
he proposed to make a struggle for its re-
coverY.
AT the hearing Williams was bound
over in the sum Of 500 and left the cash
for security. He was defended by Louis
Palmer, who wanted the Canuck held for
gambling without a license.

Not on Account of the o. r. c.

Several conductors on the Burlington
& Missouri running trains out of Ne
braska City have been discharged during
the past week. An Omaha paper
says that in connection with their
discharge a report was set afioat to the
effect that the action was taken by the
company on account of the parties dis
charged being members of the Order Of
Railway conductors. General Manager
Holdrege, when questioned concerning
the matter, said: The Burlington COM
pany has discharged no conductor simply
because he was a member of the Order of
Railway conductors. The superintendent
discharged the conductors at Nebraska
City for some other cause, but Just what
the cause is | am not prepared to state,
as he has made no report of it to me. If
the Order of Railway conductors had any
thing to do with bringing about their dis.
charge | would be aware of it"

A number of Laramie men, notably a
couple of Union Pacific employees, have
been talking tournament rather recklessly
since the meet of the Colorado and Wyo-
ming association here the 10th and 1lth.
They have asserted freely hat no similar
organization within the territory could
approach the Gramm hose team of Lara
mic, which is really a good one. Chey-
amt men have wearied of blufing and
now make this proposition: A capital
team will meet the Gramms in three
events, wet test, dry test and straight
away, winner of any two to take stakes of
Il 1000 or more.

Mrs. Curley Coleman, wife of the well

The Cheyenne LEADER-which, by the
way, occupies the same position in Lara
mic county that the Miner does in Sweet
water county, both enjoying first place in
popularity and prominence-has been
made the official paper for the mex SIX
months by the county commissioners,
composed of two Republicans and one
Democrat. When a Democratic paper is
thus patronized by a Republican board,
we wonder if it would be a serious breach
of political etiquette in this county for a
Democratic board to recognize a Demo
cratic newspaper.

actual production of each township may
be easily ascertained, but out here the
farming localities are often widely sepa-
rated and the tilling of soil conducted in
a widely different manner Hence the

make special provision for the Rocky
