married woman,s Dover.

Judge Brown Of Laramie, and G.
N. Potter of Cheyenne. says the Boom
eran1, have been arguing before the Raw
Inns court as to whether the Edmunds law,
giving married women a right of dover,
applies to this territory. The court has
not yet decided the case, and it is a dit
fcult question to pass upon. owing to the
ambiguous wording of the law. The
question comes up in the suit of Mrs.
France for a dover interest in her nus
bands estate, and the decision will be
looked for with interest all over the terri
tory.
The old question was also raised as to
whether the district courts of each county
have jurisdiction of the Circuit and dis
uict courts of the United States. The
point was brought up in the case of Mrs.
May against the county commissioners of
Albany county, a suit to recover for the
alleged infringement Of the patent of the
plaintiffs husband in constructing the
locking apparatus Of iails. The suit was
originally begun in this county but went
to Carbon on a change of venue.

Is the Indy a Reporterf

A Wyoming lady at present in Denver
tells the Netos of her having spent some
years at Fort Laramie about fifteen
months ago. She says she remembers
the case of an old soldier who was prob
able wounded more times and more seri-
ously than any other man On the Ameri-
can continent. He was not of much ac-
count, his chief object in life appearing
to be to draw his pay every month and
spend it with the sutler. He was in vari-
GUS scrimmages with the Indians, and on
every occasion managed to get shot three,
four or FIVE times, the total number Of his
wounds amounting to seventy-two. He
was left for dead twice on the plains and
pulled through somehow. One of his
legs was amputated at the hip, the bone
being taken out of the socket; the other
leg was amputated also but lower down.
He cannot use his arms to any great ex-
tent, as both of them have been cut off
80 as there was nothing left of him but
the trunk and head. AT last accounts a
year or two ago, the lady said she was in
formed he was still living. He had found
a comfortable resting place In the soldiers

COLONY SOUTH OF TOWN
Two Farmers Settle and Will be
Followed by Others.
They Find the Soil Fertile and Gil
mate Agreeable.
A Grand Island Banker Buys Chey-
enne Real Estate.

1t is only a matter of a few years at
most when the streets of Cheyenne will
be crowded with farmers every Saturday
and the granger element will become a fac
tor in the development, growth and ad-
yancement or this immediate section.
Yesterday the necleus for a colony was
formed when Maj. Garland located two
farmers on choice claims only six miles
south of the city. The emigrants are
Germans from near Wheeling, West
Virginia. They became weary Of
Wheeling and vicinity and have been
travelling westward in search of de-
sirable public land. They supposed Wy
oming was a desert and we're surprised to
find that land here was ever moistened
from above. An examination of the soil
satisfied them of Its fertility and precIpita-
ton statistics set their minds at rest on
that score. Coming from mountainous
West Virginia they thought the land
should be billy.
The new corners are two German fami-
lies. The names of the heads are Gus
tavus Wissback and Frank Kreusch.
They will purchase teams, COW and farm
ing implements and commence work on
their claims at once. They are supplied
with funds for immediate use and Miss
backs son is a wealthy Chicago druggist
who has been looking towards Wyoming
for some time.
Friends of the farmers will follow them
from West Virginia until there will be a
%pretentious colony south OF the CITY. 1t
has been suggested that the settlement be
named Williamsville in honor Of the en-
peror of Germany.
Last week a Grand Island, Neb., capt.
talist named A. Nj. Russell happened
here on a hunt for a location for the es
Enlistment off bank. He became ir-
terested in Cheyenne real estate and after

ased 5000 worth of suburban lots. Mr..

NOT so MANY CATTLE.
The County Assessor Discovers a
Shortage on Beeyes. ,
New Laramie County has Become
Weather in a Year.
The Changers in the North Need
Transportation Facilities.
IESS CA1rLE.

Assessor Fisher, who returned Thurs
day evening from an official trip through
the northern portion of the county, says
that the number Of cattle in new Laramie
county is fully 50 per cent less han the
number listed in his books before. the
formation OF Converse county last year.
There is much range country in the new
county and'seyeral large outfits, including
the Union Cattle company and Pratt &
Ferris, have gone before the grangers.
The advent of the latter has as a matter
OF course increased the value of the realty.
This is a healthy sign.
THE FINAL ROLL.
Mr.. Fisher thinks that the roll for this
year will foot about 81, 900, 900 less than
last year. That is the value of all the
property in the new county is only g.
900, 900 less than when more than half
of Converse county was a portion of Lar
annie. This Is a decided gain for the new
Laramie county. Of course the figures
can only be Appropriated now as the
position Of the equalization board on land
values is unknown. 1t may be that the
returns will be elevated, in which case the
showing for new Laramie county would
be still better.
PROMISING OUTLOOK.
The appearance of the country is most
encouraging. The grasses have responded
to the copious rains and all crops are
thirty days growth in advance of their
condition at this time last year. There
has been an influx of settlers to the eastern
border of Laramie county and the broad
ranges have become farming lands. They
have planted everything cultivated in the
East and the crops are already well above
ground.
While the late snow was disagreeable, it
did no damage and the cattle in the
country are in splendid condition.
Enough potatoes are raised in the
northern portion of Laramie county to
supply all Cheyenne, but transportation
facilities are lacking. Potatoes are fed to
cattle. given away and thrown away.
There was also a surplus of corn last year.
This years crop of pats will be very large.

BURIED ALIVE FOR FOUR DAYS. The Fearful Story of Two Miners Entombed in a Cornish Mine.
 iErora ha I.nndnn nailu

In February last we published what may
 be called the outer-world story of the en-
 tombment of the Cornish miners in the
 Drake Walls mine. This is now supple
 mented by the pathetic narrative of William
 Bant of how it fared with him and his com-
 rade, John Rule, during the four days, when
 night and day were to them as one, in their
 dismal prison 250 feet down below the sur-
 face of the earth. It was on the morning of
 Tuesday, Feb. 5, that the two men heard an
 ominous creaking noise, followed by the tre-
 mendous roar of the rushing mass of loose
 sand and rock which told them of their aw-
 full peril. Only moment before two of their
 mates, who as we know escaped miraculous
 ly, had left them to make their way down
 the pass to the middle level seme fifty feet
 distant. It was now the turn of the other
 two to follow, flying for their lives; but too
 late. Thousands of tons of the slipped sand
 and rock already barred the way, and cut
 them off from all access to the cheerful day.
 light and the sight of their fellow men. ''I offered prayer to God," says Bant at this point, and said: "'Not my will, but Thine
 be done.'" Their next act was to grope their way back to the spot whence they had started. What fate had fallen their two
 comrades they knew not; but feeling about in the darkness they found these mems jackets, besides the jacket of Rule, Bants having been buried in the sand and lost. This find was indeed piece of good fortune, for in the pocket of each of the garments was pasty and "crib" (apparently a small loaf, which guaranteed them, at least for a while. against starvation. Some hope they had of finding a store of candles, but, to | their grief, the rushing sand had carried them away, together with keg of water, which, as the writer of the narrative pa- thetically observes, "would have done us some good if we had had it.''
 Then they lay down on their bed of sand and stones damp with the constant dripping from the roof, and hour after hour listened for sound to break the dreadful silence At last Bant, whose companion was deaf, ex- claimed, "Jack, hear them sounding from the forty fathom," and Rule answered, "Give them peal" Then it was that the one morsel of candle which they had be- came precious, for it was needful to make their way to some spot in the direction of
 the knocking and there return the signal.
