A Long Snow Shed Near Tie Siding
Burned Down..

Union Pacific snow shed No. IS, a short
distance below TIE Siding on the west
slope of the big bill between this place
and Laramie, was fired by sparks from a
passing engine about 1890 o'clock last
night. Three hours later the huge struc-
ture-l,1 $50 feet in length and of the
regulation height and width-had been
consumed by the flames.
The fire stops operation of the Chey-
enne-Laramie district ten or twelve hours.
This mornings west bound passenger
train was sent to Sherman, there to lay
until the damage is repaired.
Work trains were sent from both dis
trict terminals with ties and rails enough
to construct 800 feet of track. All Sec
ton men along the line were pressed into
service. Until the wires went down or
ders were telegraphed to Laramie; then
the telephone was utilized.
Superintendent Barr and Trainmaster
Green appeared at headquarters soon af-
ter news of the FIRE was received here and
directed movements to establish railway
communication once more, The cut in
which the shed stood is a shallow one and
it may be possible to build around it. If
not the workmen will operate in the burn.
ing debris.
This shed was built twenty years ago
and cost no less than $40, 900. 1t was to
have been removed this summer.
The Western Ueion lines also went
down. A repairer was sent from this
point by the Union Pacific.

BANK .CONSPIRATDRS.
The Metropolitan swindIers

The Metropolitan Swindlers on
Triai-Means Feigns Insanity.
CINCINNATI, December 5.-The case Of
the United States against VIM. Means
and ]. R. Decamp, late of the Metropol-
itan National Rank, was called for trial
this morning in the United States Court.
The charge is conspiracy to violate the
United States national bank law. The
attorney for Means made application for
a continuance on the ground of the
physical and mental disability of his
client, amounting to insanity. The ap.
plicatlon was opposed by the Distri ct
Attorney, and the question was raised
whether there should be ordered an in,
quest for lunacy. Pending its decision
the court took recess.
On reconvening the Court delivered
the opinion that it did not regard Means
mental condition such as to prevent him
from making reasonable defense. A
motion was made for an inquest on
lunacy, but overruled. and the case pro-
ceeded. Means made pitiable appear.
ance. He sank into his seat and ap'
peared wholly oblivious to his surround
ings. His physicians say he has hallu
cinations of grandeur, and seems alb
sorbed in great enterprises. The Gov
ernment physicians thought him sufici
emily sane to endure the trial.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-06

this aside, 1t made no difference whether
| Coughlin or O'Sullivan were ever at the
Carlson cottage; whether either of them
struck q blow at Cronin; the grave
charge was conspiracy to murder,
and that was proved. Regard
| ing the testimony for Coughlin.
given by his brother policeman, Hynes
said it was strange that they should have
kept the knowledge to themselves till
they came upon the witness stand. Re.
garding the man Smith, who drove the
white horse, Coug him not only allowed
him to get away, but deliberately gave a
false description of him to Captain
Setback. II Smith were Innocent he
would come forward, tell the truth and
vindicate Coughlin.
In reviewing the circumstantial evi.
dence against Kunze, Hynes outlined
the belief of the prosecution regarding
that prisoner. He is thought to have
guilty knowledge of the conspiracy, but
to have taken no active part in the
tragedy. Hynes discussed the question
OF the association OF Coughlin and Kunze,
Kunze and O'Sullivan, Beggs and Burke,
as matters lending probability to their
connection in the conspiracy.
Referring to the lonely situation OF
Carlson'e cottage, he said to connect any
one with entering it within the week Of
the murder, either before or after, was
to connect him with the crime.
Concerning the knives found on
Coughlin, he said Coughlin did not sup
pose he would be arrested, and therefore
his pocket was cafe place to hide them
in. There Was, he said, only one chance
in million that any man would be
found carrying two knives like those of
Cronin's.
Hynes then took up the alibi OF Burke,
and at length discussed the evidence OF
the array of saloon-keepers who testified
in that regard, drawing the conclu,
sion that it was inconsistent and in.
sufficient. Referring to the row in
Camp 20, Hynes said: "They were
ready to accept the testimony of an
English spy, LIE Caron, who had been
spy for years; ready to accept that state
ment that there were spies, aud that DR.
Cronin was one Of them, according to
Dan Coughlin."
Hynes insisted that the proof showed
the appointment of secret committee,
and the surroundings, he said, show that
it was appointed for an illegal purpose.
He proceeded to argue that the fact OF
the conspiracy and murder showed the
truth of Cronin's charges against the
Triangle.
