''Waal, was a widower then: wife

of stock and was called purity solid. We
all got excited about lie and all of US
dug more or less holes in search of the
stuff. All of sudden a wilder living
about two miles from me found lie in a
dozen places on her farm. She was q
wilder with bad nose, freckles all over
her face, eyes on a squint and built up
like camel But when she struck lie
that was different thing. Iguess some
six or seven of us began counting that
widow within sixteen hours of the sight
of that lie. I know the procession

Nothing, except she had dosed that

AN INDIAN DANCE.
AcquittaI of Garfield Wolf at Ian
der is Celebrated.
The Young Brave IoyousIy Wei
coined Back to His Tribe.
A Foul Murder For Which No One
Was Punished.

Garfield Wolf, the young Arapahoe
brave indicted along with Chief Sharp
nose for the murder of VIM. Z. Jewell. a
horse trader, on the Shoshoue reservation
eighteen months ago, was acquitted at
Lander.
When the testimony was all in" says
the MomtdiHeer, Judge Brown, who is
assisting Mr.. Campbell, made a motion
that the court instruct the jury to render
a verdict of acquittal He argued that
the evidence adduced was not only purely
circumstantial but there were many things
in the chain of evidence which the prose-
cution failed to supply and that the testi-
mony was insufficient to place the de-
PENDANT on the defense.
The prosecution replied that it had
been greatly disappointed in the evidence,
that the witnesses he had relied upon had
failed to give the evidence which he was
led to believe they would, and that under
the circumstances he would not oppose
the motion. After explaining the situa-
ton in all the details the court instructed
the jury to return a verdict of not guilty,
which was accordingly done after an
absence of a few minutes. and the pris-
oner was discharged. On going down
stairs Garfield was met by his father and
a host OF Arapahoes, including S~harpnose.
all Of whom embraced anu kissed Garfield
and even Rugged the jury in their
delight"
A gentleman who arrived from that Sec
ton since the discharge of Garfield Wolf,
says that the return of the Indian to his
people was celebrated by a dance and
feast. The tom-tom was beaten all mig hit
and a potage favored with fatted dog was
consumed in large quantities. The writer
met Garfield Wolf last summer. He is
a young reprobate who in his ASSOCIATION
with white men acquired acquired their
vices without absorbing any virtues. He
graduated from an eastern Indian school
and spoke English excellently, but at the
trial demanded an Interpreter.
The murder of Jewell was a mercenary
crime and it is believed that Sharpnose,
who was acquitted a year ago was not
guiltless.

novel and very pretty indeed. In trim

flora was surprisingly beautiful and elicit
ed the admiration of all. The idea of
such decoration was very timely and
the effect upon the visitors even
more favorable than had been
anticipated. They made no attempt to
conceal their astonishn.ent. averring that
they had long since been forced to the
conviction that Wyoming's natural vege-

CLEVER WORK.
How One of the Wilcox Burglars Was
Induced to Max n Confession.

Charley Berry and Harry Miller, who
were Jailed Wednesday on suspicion of
robbing the safe in Wilcox's Sixteenth
street restaurant, are well in the tolls.
By diplomacy Marshal Schnitger extract
ed a full confession from Berry. who was
locked IN the calabOose, while his com
panion in crime was held at the county
Jail. The marshal told the lad hat Mil
Ter had completely given him away. This
angered the boy and he told a pretty
straight story of the entire affair, saying
among other things hat Miller had given
him whisky and hat he was drunk when
he entered the place.
Berry had been very reticent until be
heard OF the alleged treachery OF his pal.
Then he opened up in fine shape. He
acknowledged that he had been stealing
from Mr.. Wilcox for several months.
The two thieves were very crestfallen
when they discovered they had fallen into
the trap laid by Marshal Schnitger. At
the preliminary hearing there were crimi-
nations and ~recriminations, each thief
trying to make a case against his pal.
They we're remanded to Jail in default OF
$500 bail each.

LIGHTING CARS.
How III Union Pacific Proposes TO IL
Illuminate Coaches.

The Union Pacific is testing the Frost
dry cachuretter system for lighting pas
senger and other cars. The principle is
based on the air braking system. 1t car
ries the air through material saturated
with oil which is the form Of a generator
and ploced above each light in the roof of
the car. On passing through the matter
it takes up the h~ydro-carbon and makes
an Illuminating vapor which can be
burned in ordinary burners. One charge
OF the generator is capable Of furnishing
light t last on a trip from Chicago to
San Francisco and when the car is
switched from the regular train there is a
generator on the bottom of the car
which serves the purpose.
The cost of light is about three-fourtbs
of one cent per mile to each burner,
giving fifty candles. 1t makes it very
much cheaper than oil or any known sys-
tenn of lighting, while the cost of equip
ping is little more than the ordinary cost.
The work of changing the carbonneter can
be done in a few minutes. In case of ac-
cidents or wrecks the lights become ex'
tinguished, and as there are no gas pipes
existing. but simply air, this is at once
cut off. and there is no danger of setting
fire to the car.
The Pennsylvania and Reading railways
have adopted the system, Inc it is proba
bic that the Union Pacific will do likewise
