Tom Sun, one of the Carbon county

violent taking off of Postmaster Averill
and Ella Watson, the Sweetwater rustlers.
is well know in Cheyenne. He visits the
capitol once or twice every year. He was
for a long time a government scout, then
a hunter and trapper, next cowboy and
finally a ranchman. Mr.. Sun has fought
Indians from the Platte to the mountains
and back again and incurred the undying
enmity of numerous blood thirsty war
chiefs.
1t is said that Sun prevented the lynch
ing OF Ben Carter, who was hanged at
Rawlins last year for the murder of
Johnny J~effries. Carter crime was en-
tircly unprovoked. In a COW camp he
accused the Jeffries boy OF spying for the
Stock Association and after abusing him
all day shot him at night as he lay in his
blankets in a tent. The cowboys chased
Carter across the country to Tom Suns
place. The ranchman accepted him as a
prisoner and delivered him to the authori-
ties at Rawlins. Everyone who knows
Tom Sun will hesitate to believe that he
would participate in a lynching and then

FRAUD.
The History Company Altered Orders
Given for Book.

In the case Of the History company Of
San Francisco VS.. +. f. Cheney which
was tried in the court on Friday of last
week. says the Lander Clipper. it APP
peared from the evidence adduced that
there has been aspecies of fraud practlced
in procuring signatures such as to warrant
the court in rendering a verdict for the
defendant. The case grew out of a con-
tract entered into in 1885. with Ashley
Bancroft as agent for his uncle Hurbert
Howe Bancroft who had in course of publ
cation a work purporting to be a history of
the west half of the United States. The
defendant set up the plea that his con-
tract was only for five volumes and 'testi-
fed that on receipt of the five they were
paid for. supposing that there the matter
would stop, but instead other volumes
were addressed to him which he refused
to accept. Two other witnesses were
sworn who also claimed that the contracts
which were produced as against them
were not the contracts which they had
signed, yet Mr.. Cheney did not pretend to
deny his signature, nor did the other wit
nesses, neither OF whom were able to &C
count for the difference between the con-
tracts as presented and the ones they sup
posed they had signed.
Many Cheyenne people were swindled
by this concern.
