FIRED BIG BUILDING.
j. B. Sleeper, a Denver Cock, Turns
incendiary in Cheyenne.
Builds a Fire in a Closet of the
Corlett Block.
Supposed he Sought Revenge by
this Means.

There tossed about on a mattress in one
of the narrow cells at the county jail last
night a man charged with one of the
most serious crimes in the decalogue. To
crafty petty spite or avenge a fancied
injury he jeopordized the lives and prop
erE of innocent persons.
The prisoner is j. B. Sleeper. who will
in all probability be found guilty of the
grave offense of arson, a crime punishable
ny possibly ten years imprisonment.
s. G. Wilcox, the Sixteenth street
baker and restauranteur, a week & en-
gagged in Denver a cook-this fellow
Sleeper. The man was utterly incompe-
tent and was released Sunday. In
settling he asked for a return ticket to
Colorado and was refused. IAN right"
he said, I'll fix things so you won't get
any more cooks from Denver" Very
weIl," responded Wilcox, IF none are
better qualified than you I'll look else
where for men" No attention was paid
to the threat and the ex.employee was
allowed to occupy a room over the estab-
lishment Sunday night. The apartment
was shared by two other men.
Sleeper's fell1w lodger left him in bed
early yesterday morning. as he had ex-
pressed a desire to rest until nearly train
time-1U:30 o'clock.
About 10 o'clock Sleeper left for the
DEPOT. A few minutes later a young
IN came running down stairs with
the news that smoke was pouring from the
room recently vacated by the discharged
cook.
An investigation disclosed a shoulder
ing blaze in a closet Just off the room in
dicated. The base board was burning,
clothing on fire and shelves scorched.
The flames were quickly extinRuished.
Mr.. Wilcox summoned Policeman
Ahrens. who accompanied him to the de-
pot IN pursuit of the supposed %incendiary.
Sleeper was pointed out and taken into
custody.
Sleeper will be given a hearing before
Judge Carroll at 10 o'clock this morning.
He was committed in default Of bail in
the sun of $3.50. Sleeper asserts that he
did not light the fire, but Mr.. Wilcox and
others about the place are certain hat the
fellow is guilty Of arson.
If the i~ncendiary had been successful
the loss by fire would have been the
heaviest ever recorded in Cheyenne. The
closet is almost in the center of the Cor
lett block and every building on the south
side of Sixteenth street between Ferguson
and Capitol avenue would have been ex.
posed to danger.

SHELTER TALK.
A Project to Move the Crown Shelter
to Cheyenne.

There was a preliminary talk on smelter
at yesterdays special meeting of the
Board Of Trade.
A project now on foot is to move the
Silver Crown smelter to this place, where
it can be reached by ore owners of the
north. The plant is m~ortgaged, but if
the transfer is made those interested will
accept stock as an offset to their claims.
The amout of the incumbrance is quite
modest. One Of the mortgages first
thought to rest ON the furnaces covers one
OF the claims near by. Several managers
of freighting outfits are willing to haul
the plant to Cheyenne and accept stock
for their services. This plan will be more
fully discussed at a meeting in the near
future. There is feasibility On the face
of it and there are men who will lend
substantial aid to the project
A Mr.. Sanders, a mechanic with some
time on his hands. has generously offered
to run the engine at the Cheyenne foun-
dry while experiments with iron ore are
being conducted.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon the Board
of Trade will meet Messrs. Morris and
Luchenbach, representatives of the st.
Helens Smelling Company, of Trinidad.
Colo. 1t is expected that these gentle
men will make a proposition which will
surely result in the establishment of big
copper smelter here.

A SARATOGA TRAGEDY.
Harry L. KuykendaII, of this City,
Accidentally Kills a Man.
The Casualty Occurs During Some
Target Shooting.
Innocent Cause of Death Prostra-
ted with Grief.

Happy Harry Kuykendall. always
light hearted, jolly and full of fun, is
bowed down with grief. and his friends
are filed with sorrow.
A telegram received here yesterday con-
tains the sad intelligence that at Saratoga
Sunday Harry accidentally took the life
of a fellow being.
Anumber were shooting at a target with
a rifle. While in Mr.. Kuykendall's hands
the weapon was unintentionally dis
charged. Hans Nicholson. a Swede en-
ployed at the Kuykendall horse ranch was
in range. The deadly missile entered the
body beside the back bone and emerged
near the groin.
Nicholson was at once placed in care OF
surgeons who did all possible to relieve
his sufferings. but who could hold out no
hope that the wounded man would re-
cover. He died seven hours after the
shooting. Nicholson came from Sweden
to the town OF Carbon eight years ago.
He was a single man % years of age and
of habits and disposition which gained
him many friends. While these friends
deeply regret the uhtimely demise of the
young man their sympathy for the inno-
cent cause of his death is sincere and
hearty.
Mr.. Knykendall's grief is uncontrolla-
BILE. He constantly reproaches himself
for what he calls his carelessness. He is
of an exci;able nature and the condition
OF his nervous system approaches pros
tration. To terminate the career of an
other was the thing fartherest from his
thoughts and the recollection of Sundays
tragedy will be with him for years.
Harry l.. Kuykendall was born in this
city and most of The years of his lite have
been spent among the friends of his child
hood. All sympathize not alone with the
unfortunate young man, but with his esti-
mable parents. Judge w. L. Kuykendall
and wife. They are in keen sorrow. A
number Of friends called at the residence
last evening to offer coincidence.

A Wild Eyed Man Who was Chased by
BlOOdhounds.


A wild eyed, bareheaded individual, sans
coat and vest, one foot encased in a sock,
the other naked, and trousers a la Johns
town, glided into the Office OF a Cheyenne
hotel very early yesterday morning. The
clerk was out flirting with weiner wurst,
and the porter was behind the count
With the business like familiarity of hotel
attaches, the proprietor pro tenn greeted
the guest with:
What's the matter with youP"
Nothing"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
Game down the fire escape. They
tried to catch me, but | was too quick for
them"
"Who was after you2'
Eight policemen. four detectives, nine
sherIffs, a posse of citizens and some
bloodhounds."
With a keenness of perception remark
able for its rarity. the porter came to the
conclusion that there was something
wrong with the man, and when the
stranger produced a big bottle of run the
porter reasoned from cause to effect and
bet himself 2 to i that the visitor was a
victim of Jim jams.
An officer was called and the man, who
belongs to a good Ohio family, was placed
where he would receive proper treatment.

A RAILWAY FOR JOHNSON.
The Wyoming 81 Southern will Trav-
erse the Fertile County.

Articles of incorporation of the Wyo-
ming K Southern Railway company were
recorded at the office OF Secretary Mel
drum yesterday. 1t is proposed, with a
capital of 81, 900, 900, to construct a rail
way from a point on the Montana line
near Six-mile creek south to Fort Casper.
The FIVE trustees elected are Eli d Ban
mister, Matthew Fl. Murphy, Paul Nc
Cormick, Thos. G. Power and Albert j.
Seligman. Headquarters have been es-
tablished at the town of Sheridan.
The new line is doubtless a continuation
of the Big Horn & Southern railway. a
proposed branch Of the Northern Pacific
into Wyoming. The projectors are New
York and Montana capitalists who seem
determined to head of the Northwestern
in the race to the oil fields of central Wy
oming.
The route to be followed by the new
line begins at the terminus of the Big
Horn & Southern at the Montana line,
proceeding thence along the eastern base
of the Hig Horn mountains to Buffalo.
and thence to Casper. the present termi
nus Of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad. The %company's survey
ors are now at work on the Crow reserva-
ton and will reach the Wyoming line in
two weeks. The Wyoming & Southern
line will be 200 miles in length.
If this line is built as contemplated,
and there is every reason to believe the
projectors are in earnest, it would only be
necessary for the Cheyenne & Northern
to finish its line to the Northwestern ,thir-
ty two miles away, and connect johnson
county with the capital and commercial
center OF the territory.
