The Cheyenne & Northern.


The boaId of trade committee selected
to endeayor to induce the Union Pacific
to abandon the project OF tri-weekly in
stead of daily service on the Cheyenne &
Northern called on Superintendent Barr
yesterday. They we're pleasantly received
by that official and the matter was freely
discussed at the conference. Mr.. Barr
said the change had not yet been fully de-
cided upon and assured the representa-
tives of the chamber of that
they would be given an opportunity to
present their side of the case at head
quarters before the ISSUANCE of the order.

WHOLESALE HORSE STEALING.
Twenty-Nine Animals Stolen Near
Rock Springs.

About the middle of November last a
cowboy named Widrow disappeared from
Rock Springs with twenty-nine head of
horses. Ten of the animals belonged to
the ranch upon which Widrow was en-
ployed, and the remaining nineteen to
the n adjoining, owned by a stockman
named Samuel Spicer. The horses were
driven to a small shipping point, near by
and sent by rail to Council Bluffs, where
they were unloaded Jan. 4. Widrow ar
rived soon after and disposed of the
stolen property, selling a horse at a
time.
The ranchmen did not discover their
losses for more than two months after
Widrow disappeared. Spicer decided to
hunt his stock and reclaim it if possible.
He had a hard time getting a clue to the
direction they were skipped, as the car
was billed in his name, and it was not I'M
til he referred to his books hat he learned
he had made no shipment to Council
Bluffs.
This brought him to Iowa. He worked
on the case privately until Friday when
he solicited the aid of an officer named
Cusick. The policeman Dissolved an ami
NAL in the city bearing Spicer's brand.
The horse was coniscated. This led to
the discovery of a second horse, and a
third, and SO on until Cussick had To-
Gated and taken possession of seventeen
head, leaving two of Spicer's animals
still at large. These two are said to be
in Omaha. Widrow sold a majority of
the horses to farmers within a radius of
forty miles.
Widrow has been seen in Council
Bluffs several times within the last few
days but it is thought he took warning
and fled. Spicer passed west yesterday
en- route to his home. The value of the
horses is estimated at about So, 900.
