woman-the eXertion had killed her.
The corpse was that of girl perhaps
twenty-five years of age. She wore q

An examination of the cave disclosed
the fact that it had for some time been
used as Il habitation by the alleged
spirit. The ground was covered with
bones, and although there were cooking
utensils about it was evident they had
never been used. She had subsisted on
stolen raw meat and raw fruit. She had
dried meat for winter use.
For several years the wild girl was
thought to be a veritable spirit. Usually
she visited camp at the close of a long
summer day, and it is small wondeh

The Alton Means Business.

CHICAGO, May 25.- Special Telegram to
TIE BEE. l-"Our road is in splendid shape,
but we are doing very poor business" said
General Manager Chappell of the Alton
to-day. After moments thought, he added:
"We are tired of foollng, and hereafter pro-
pose to carry our share of the business or
fight" Mr.. Chappell concluded with the re-
mark that, in his recent trip over the line, he
had become convinced that crops never
looked better at this season. These dis
patches have repeatedly shown that the
Alton officials are by no means in love with
the inter. state Commerce Railway associa-
tion. AS the general manager of another
west-bound road said to-day: "The Alton
people are trying every way they know to
find an excuse to withdraw from the asso-
citation. guess they've found it in their de-
mand on Chairman Walker for division of
the traffic, SO that they will get the same
proportionate amount they had before the
association was formed. Look at the figures
minute; the Alton being a direct line, has
a ways taken more live stock from Kansas
City than the st. Paul, which has regular
goat's-horn road from there to Chicago. So
far this month the st. Paul
has taken out OF Kansas City
4O7 cars of live stock and the Alton has han
died but 1877 cars. OF course, the cattle
enjoy longer ride on the st. Paul, thus
allowing the shippers to get better value
for their money OF course, again, rates are
strictly maintained" Here the speakers
eyelid drew down in evident appreciation of
his own joke. He continued: "But 1t ISN'T
the st. Paul alone which is hurting the
Alton. The Illinois Central refused to join
the association, and the figures show why
the Alton Is SO anxious to Withdraw. Three
weeks ago the Illinois Central hauled 5i4
cars OF grain into Chicago. This week they
hauled l,73l cars against s43 for the Alton.
| There has never before been such a dis.
| crepency. honestly believe the Alton will
| withdraw from the association inside of a
month. If it don't " will be because the
other ROADS turn over some of their business

withdraws it is dollars to doughnuts the Bur-

petition was circulated yesterday, ask
ing the council to call an election to divide
the city into wards and to make a registry of
voters, and asking that an election be held
on Monday, the 9th Of May. Practi-
cally, everybody signed the petition.
Independent of this petition the citizens
held a mass meeting last evening. They
were very much in earnest and very deter
mined. After speeches by several persous
they passed resolution ousting tine mayor
and city council, and appointed committee
to so notify them, and also passed a resolu-
tion appointing committee Of seven to call q
city election, ignoring the present mayor and
council,
The inspector then states that there were
such loud calls for his views that he took
the stand and told them that, in
his judgment, 1T was mistake
to not petition the mayor and
council to call an election and it would most
likely result in two conflicting city govern
ments, that they were entitled to speedy
election; to sworn statement from the
present council as to all moneys collected or
paid out; that the incoming administration
should limit the fees of all officers and
boards; should be economical and should be
very careful in regard TO granting to indvid-
uals valuable franchises of the city without
due consideration. After heated discus
sion, motion was made 10 reconsider, and
was carried and committee appointed to
present petitions to the mayor requesting
him to call an election. The meeting then
adjourned in good humor.

A PlLFERlNG SPIRIT,
Strange Story of the Wild Woman OF

the Rockies.
"The Wild Woman of the Rockies; OF
the Spirit of Cameron Pass" should be
the title of this story, but with the per-
verscness of inanimate things the types
won't stand it, says the Cheyenne
Leader. They may not object right out
in meeting, but they will refuse to en-
ter the line in the order dictated unless
filed down. But to the story, which is
related by the veracious fund of remi-
niscence, w. G. Hart, the geologist.
In 1882 Mr.. Hart and two other en-
thusiastic collectors of specimens were
encamped near the lava beds between
the head waters of the Cache de la
Poudre and North Park. 1t was n
broken region and the wicrdness was
heightened by the proximity of an ex-
tinct crater, while bare rocks and dead
timber were everywhere. The hope Of
securing valuable specimens for their
cabinets attracted the gentlemen to the
uncanny spot, for everyone averred that
Cameron pass was haunted by the spirit
been driven from camp by her father
because she loved not wisely but too
well.
Joe Shepler, a we'll known mountain
eer, who was plotting the mineralogists
through the hills, had often seen the
ghost, and promised his companions
that they should view tho apparition
before returning to their homes. He
said the strange spirit was u thief, and
frequently stole food and furniture from
the camps Of hunters who vcntured
within the precincts of hor uninviting
domain.
At dinner August IL, 1882, Shepler,
who was a brave man on every occasion,
announced that the sDirit was aDnroac H.
ing, and pointed TO strange being
which was swiftly moving toward the
camp. The maraudcr came to within
500 yards Of the men, and scizing u
haunch OF venison which had bcen
placed on n stone, started away with it
on the run.
Hart picked up his rife, and calling
upon his mates TO follow, started IN pur-
suit Of the thief. She-thcy were sure
