Vrooman Talks.

George yrooman, chairman of the
grievance committe of the Brotherhood o.
Locomotive Engineers, is in Omaha. As
regards the report of another break in the
ranks of engineers, he said to a Bee re
porter that he had heard that a certain
western road had decided to move against
the brotherhood, but that he had not as
certained which road it was. I'VE are IL
better condition to meet an issue of this
kind" he said, than erer. If it mean
another strike, it will be a strike OF nc
small magnitude. In its fight with the
Burlington all the other roads held thai
road up and rendered it assistance. fit
comes to another issue of this kind, this
kink OF work will not be allowed, and not
a car can be moved by a connecting line.
Let me say that the road that attacks our
order again will be in the hands of a re-
ceiver in less than sixty days. We dc
not seek the ill-will of any road, but we
will maintain our rights"

CHEYE N DAY.
Magic City Ball Teams Win al Home
and in Laramie.

The Capitol Base Ball club defeated the
Seventeenth Infantry team at the fair
grounds Sunday right handily. The score
was 10 to IL. 1t was a bad day, being
cold and breezy, but the attendance was
fair. The contest was characterized by
hard hitting and rather loose fielding. 1t
will be necessary to materially strengthen
the post team before it can become a
formidable adversary for the Capitols.
The best work of the afternoon was done
BY Rapp, who struck out n military heavy
hitter with two out and a man on each
base. Umpires, Murray and Cannon.

score was SO TO %, in favor of the Magic
City boys, who outplayed their hosts
at every point. The features were
the terrific battery of Morford and Nc
Guire and the daring base running of the
entire r. & 4. nine. The grounds were
poor and there was a high wind during
the game. Manager Phil Kerrigan had
to whip 6 Laramie bully before he was

DESTRUCTIVE WOLVES,
a Herd of the Pests CorraIIed in Little
Horse Creek Caves.

A Little Horse Creek ranchman writes:
While riding the range a few days
since | came upon a pair of wolves in the
act Of killing a full grown steer. A yell
interrupted them and saved the beef.
The d~epredators made for a very rough
portion of broken country along the creek.
| put spurs to my mount determined to
follow them to their lair. The chase
terminated earlier than | had anticipated
and ended in a genuine surprise to even
an old timer like myself.
At the foot Of a rugged cliff toward
which the pursued aud pursuing were
moving at top of speed was a band of be-
tween twenty and thirty enormous prairie
wolves. At sight OF horseman all disap-
peared in cavcrns.
Recovering from astonishment, | set
out for the ranch of w. G. Lykens, and
found that gentleman ready for adventure
anti anxious to assist in the determination
OF the pests of %ranchmen. We quickly
returned to the dens and satisfied our
oelbSs JltI'tHG MOlNtS were sui WltnlD.
Instead of emulating the immortal Put"
we securely sealed the entrances to the
caves and returned to our horues.
Next day every Little Horse ranchman
was on hand to assist in the butchery of
the common enemy. Smoke was intro
duced into the cave and ten wolves were
shot down as they sought to escape. This
finished the days work, but the following
day was spent in driving tunnels to the
cavern chambers by blasting. Our sup
ply OF powder was exhausted, but a
quantity has been ordered from Chey-
cnne
In the meantime the siege is still on.
| am certain that such a den of wolves
has never before been discovered in the
west. The plaques have killed an in.
credible number of cattle and horses IN
this section.

AN EMPHATIC SUCCESS.
The First Raglan Lecture n Great
Source of Enjoyment.

The first of the series of Raglan lectures
was given at the opera house last evening
before an audience which con. pletely filed
the building, upstairs ard down. The
subject of the lecture was paris, the
Magnificent. Its delivery occupied a
little less than two hours and it was illus
trated by beautiful views thrown upon a
large screen. Mr.. Raglan has a very
pleasing style of delivery. He is never
prolix and he never e~nlarges upon trivial
ties. In a small compass he presents a
great mass of information, and
does it in a way that proves
the least tiresome. The i~llustra.
tons are simply superb. They vivedly
and in several instances magnifcently de-
pict scenes of worldwide reputation and
historic grandeur. At various times the
audience burst into spontaneous applause
on some pictorial scene with which the
books or magazines or perhaps sight
seeing had made them perfectly familiar.
Everyone present greatly enjoyed the lee
ture. 1t proved a delightful way of
spending IN evening and was full of in
formation as well as pleasure.
The next lecture will be delivered next
Saturday, the 25th inst. Subject, "0n
the Rhine" Course tickets are 81. IS.
