A FINE AFFAIR.".
The Ball of the J. T. Clark Hose
Company Last Night.
A Large Attendance and a Very
Joyous Time.
Something About the South Side
Fire Company.

Until after the show last night the j.
I. Clark Hose company's ball was Q
pleasant and fairly well attended party.
After the performance in the opera house
the affair developed into one of the events
for which the south side boys have be.
come noted-a dance with a crowd bent
on extracting Joy from the passing
hour.
The show delegation e~nlivened the
dance attendance proper and made things
go In fine style. About 300 tickets for
the dance had been sold and nearly every
holder was present at some time during
the night. The music was excellent and
the proDpter in unusually good voice.
The Clark boys have made a study of en-
PERTAINING and their guests were accorded
the best of treatment. These committees
had charge OF the pleasant affair:
Arrangements-J. J. Granger, Albert
Kerr, John Dagnon, j. Nj. Embery, AL
bert Granger.
Reception-Wm. Embery, Norman
Wilson, Roderick Morgan.
Eoor-Frank McGrayel, VIM. Nc
CURE, G. II. Granger, j. NJ. Embery,J.

Door-Herman Clutch, VIM. Healy,
Henry Rice.
The Clark Hose company, so named in
honor of j. t. Clark, once superintendent
of the Wyoming division, was organized
eleven years ago. The company leaped
into fame before it had been in existence
six months on account of its fast team,
which carried off the honors at the mem
orable fremen's tournament held here in
the summer of 1878. With but a few
weeks practice the boys easily captured
first money in a wet test competition in a
field of between fifteen and twenty crack
companies from all over the West. Until
within the last year the company has
been hampered by lack of proper quar-.
tiers, but has held its own against all
corners and will have a fine team this sea-
son. The Clarks now have a first. class
hose house On the south side. They have
been assigned to duty in that portion of
the city and seldom invoke the assistance
of their north side brethren. The Clarks
apparatus is second to none and the boys
always do efficient work under the leader.
ship of their capable officers.
The Clark roster for the current year
follows:
Foreman-J. j. Granger.
First observation-disclosures Wilson.
Second assistant-John Thompson.
First captain of hose-Albert Granger.
Second captain of hose-John Dagnan.
Captain of hydrant-Herman Clutch.

PACIFIC SHORT LINE.
The First Assessment on Stock
Promptly Paid.
New York and Sioux City Capital
Combined.
The Line to Traverse Wyoming
from East to West.

Here is a special telegram from Sioux
City to the Omaha Herald, sent on the
18th inst:
The prospect for the building OF the
Pacific Short Line, the proposed line from
Sioux City across Nebraska and Wyoming
to Ogden. Utah, grows brighter every
day. Subscribers to the stock have paid
in the first 25 per cent Of the $400, 900
subscribed, and Messrs. Gedney & Nc
Lane, New York representatives of the
company, will be here tomorrow with
$3.50, 200. This, added to the local sub
scription, will be used in buying the right
OF way, etc., and grading will begin as
o as the weather will permit. The line
will be in shape to run trains inside of
two years"
The Pacific Short Line, or Wyoming
Eastern, as the road is called in this terri
tory, has filed its articles of incorporation
at the offices of Secretary Shannon and
the county clerks Of the counties of Lara
mic, Albany Carbon, Sweetwater and
Uinta. In its certificate the i~ncorpora-
ton has declared that it intends construct
ing and maintaining a line of railway
through the counties named.
As before recited in these columns the
company has purchased several thousand
acres of Wyoming coal lands, taken pos
session of numerous mountain passes and
a right of way for a considerable distance
along the Platte river west of Fort Lara
mic.
The Pacific Short Line is in the field as
a rival of all tr%anscontlnental lines, and
more especially the Union Pacific and
Northwestern in Wyoming. Its encroach-
ment on the chosen territory of the latter
line has spurred its competitor onward,
much to the Joy of those interested in CEN
trail Wyoming.
1t has been said that st. Paul and
Minneapolis capitalists were interested in
the Pacific Short Line, but the represent
atlves OF the company who have visited
Wyoming, maintain that it Isl New
York venture countenanced and aided by
the great Western town of Sioux City. .
The dispatch says the company will be
in shape to run trains in two years, but
it must expedite matters if it hopes to
rival the Northwestern, which is already
well into central Wyoming, having a ter
minus at the oil fields and coal banks of
northern Carbon county.
As it is a well known fact that the Pa
cific Short Line has despatched route
hunters to the field to face the rlgors of
the blizzard season it is more than sus-
pected that work will not be delayed if
the guaranteed capital is forthcoming.
Wyoming is bound to be the railroad
state Of the union for the very excellent
reason that it offers superior inducements
to the public carriers.

la sells B a horse for $50 and after
wards buys it back for SO and then
sells it to G for 500. How much
does A make by the two sales2 The
original cost of the horse does not enter
into the proposition.
The solution of THE LEADERS, horse
problem, which has been the talk of the
town for the past week. was received at
this Office yesterday from the author of
the example, Mr.. VIM. james, city editor
of the Chicago Journal.
Here is Mr.. James brief demonstration
of the puzzle:
"A receives by his two sales $50 and
Sl10 or $3.50 in all. He pays out on his
one purchase SO, which, deducted from
$3.50, leaves SlI0."
When the problem had its great run in
Chicago a syndicate of sports who had
wagered thousands of dollars on the solu.
ton appealed from MI. James decision,
but it was endorsed by a committee of ex-
pert bookkeepers and accepted as final,
though several lawsuits followed.
Nearly all of the bets made in Chey-
enne were referred to THE LEADER and
this paper announces that $40 is cor
rect.
A very lucid, but erroneous, demonstra-
ton of the problem was received at this
Office yesterday from Col. Thos. Moore of
Camp Carlin.
