FOR BLOODY GROUND.
Contest for "a Claim ON Which IA Double
Killing Occurred.

The land on which Jesse Mcdowell
killed Geo. R. Bird and another man, ia
the subject of a contest in progress in the
local land office. The property is a gov.
rnmen claim in Albany county.
Ida May Davis VS.. Robert Hall, ad-
ministrator for the estate of Geo. r.
Bird, deceased, is the title of the pending
suit.
The contestant is a fair young widow
and Hall is defending the suit on behalf
of Mrs. Bird. Register Camplin is hear
ing the case.
The murder of Bird and a ranch hand
by Mcdowell created a tremendous sensa-
ton when it occurred about eighteen
months ago. On account of the prejudice
against Mcdowell his trial was postponed
for one term. He was sentenced to
Joliet and is now in that institution.
There are several interesting features
about the land trial. 1t is for property
which has been baptised in blood and
around which will ever cling tragic
memories and the actual parties to the
suit are widows.

ONLY A FAKE.
Nothing in the Report the Desperate
Mccoy has Been Killed.

A report that Dan Began, alias Bill
Mccoy. the desperate who escaped from
the Laramie county jail while awaiting
sentence after being convicted of murder
in the first degree. bad been killed SOM
time ago, has been published in thi,
city.
THE LEADER has positive information
to the effect that Bill Mccoy was alive
less than a week ago.
Mccoy is very liable to be brought back
here for sentence in the near future. A
Cheyenne man is apprised of every move
mept of the desperate by = friend in New
Mexico and at the first favorable oppor.
tunity bis capture will be attempted. For
the return of Mccoy here there is a re-
ward of 81 900.
The story that Mccoy had been killed
was originated in the North for a pur-
pose and will not go down with those who
keep informed on the case.
McCoy's crime was cowardly and brutal
and his trial and escape cost the int
thousands Of dollars. There are honest
men here as anxious to see tho fellow
punished as his hero worshipping friends
are to see him continue at large.
The desperate is among friends in
New Mexico and his capture, except IN.
der unusual circumstances. will involve 9
hot battle.

CABIN LEGEND.
The Fabled Gold Mines of the Big
Horn Country.
Nuggets and Coarse Yellow Grains
Found in 1865.
The Gupidity of One Man Brings
Death to Three.

A person who claims familiarity with
the facts on which the legend of the fabu-
lously rich Lost Cabin" gold mines of
Wyoming is founded, contributes an inter.
esting story to the Lusk Herald:
About 1865 one Charley Clay kept a
trading post at old Fort Reno. His place
was generally headquarters for the scouts,
trappers and miners of the Big Horn
country. One day in the fall of '65 three
ragged, dusty and travel-worn miners ar
rived at Clay's store; not one of them had
decent clothes, but each of the three car
ried a small powder can full of coarse
gold aud nuggets. They were very reti-
cent in regard to where they had found
their treasures.
After staying at Clay's store long enough
to buy a new outfit of clothes and neces-
sary tools and provisions they rode
away to the southwark. leaving Clay in
charge of their dust and telling him
where their friends In the East lived, SO
that he might send it to their people in
case they should never return. The
weeks and months rolled away; fall faded
into winter, and when spring came Clay
still possessed the golden treasures. The
time set for their return had long since
passed and Clay. fearing that they were
dead, forwarded the gold to their friends.
Some time during the summer a party of
soldiers were hunting about fifty miles
southeast of Reno, when they found one
Of the miners wandering along in the
mountains.
He seemed to be entirely demented and
would give no account of his partners.
They took him to the fort, and alter being
treated by the post surgeon he partly re-
gained his reason. He told Clay that the
mines where they got the gold were three
days of hard riding from Fort Reno, and
gave him a description of the place. Mr..
Clay Immediately organized a party, and
taking the miner along started for the
mines. The second day out the miner
again lost his reasoning faculties. During
his insane rawlings he talked of murder,
Indians and piles of gold. Clay and his
party now being without a guide, they
returned to the post. A few days after
they got back the miner passed in his
checks" and the mine was named the
Lost Cabin"
From that time till "a the lost cabin
mines were searched for in vain. During
the summer of that year some cow
punchers who were hunting in the Big
Horn mountains southeast of Fort Reno
about ninety miles, found an old cabin in
a deep and almost inaccessible canon.
They also found some sections OF a sluice
box and other indications OF a placer hav-
ing been worked there. Under the ruins
Of the cabin they found the skeletons OF
two men, with bullet holes in their skulls,
and mingled with the decaying remains
of mortality were found several nuggets
Of gold. The mines have since been
worked by different parties, but none Of
them could make it pay, and they are now
! deserted,

The Stage Robbery.

United States Marshal Carr said last
evening that he had received from Raw
Inns a telegram which led him to believe
that there was some trace of the stage
robbers, but that nothing definite was
known. He has sounded the alarm all
along the line, but the men had a start Of
nearly three days.
A reward of 81, 900 each is offered for
the robbers Several Snake river ranch.
men said they would have been on the
trail early had they but known of the op.
p~ortunity to make 81, 900.

troubled with chilblains. The swelling
