BADLY TREATED.

The most shabbily treated man in
Cheyenne yesterday was Rev. r. f.
Field. Mr., Field applied for the chap
laincy of the house. AS he has been a
life long, though not bitter, Republican;
as during his five years residence here he
had never held any position within the
gift of the legislature, and as the house is
Republican eighteen to six, it is only
natural that he should have put in his
application to be made chaplain at the
present session. Other candidates sprung
up, as was only natural, too, but the Sun,
in its Sundays issue, came out and strong
" and unqualifedly endorsed Mr.. Field.
The caucus Of the eighteen Republican
members of the house was held on Mon
day afternoon. 1t was known to be a
very harmonious body. The only Office
the Laramie dele CATION was dead set on
securing was that OF sergeant-at-arms for
n. j. O'Brien. The chaplaincy fell to
Cheyenne as a matter OF course, and
when the name of Mr.. Field was men
toned be secured the caucus nomination.
The result of the caucus was announced
in both the Sun and THE LEADER yes
terday morning. The account agreed to a
T so far as the men selected to fill the of
fees is concerned. Mr.. Fields name APP
peared in both cases.
As far as we can learn Mr.. Field was
informally notified Of the result OF the
caucus. During the night a change came
over the spirit of the dreams Of some Re.
publican members. Influence was brought
to bear upon them from the outside and
notwithstanding the public announcement
OF Mr.. Fields selection, at a second eau
Gus held yesterday morning he was de-
feated and Mr.. Bright nominated in his
stead. The caucus slate subsequently
went through in the house exactly as an
nounced with the solitary exception Of the
chaplain. Mr.. Bright received Is votes,
Mr.. Field 4 and Mr.. Thistle, the colored
pastor, 2 We do not wonder that the
Laramie county delegation are being
scored upon all sides for their action in
this matter.

An Indian correspondent writes:
Our experienced and successful shi-
karee, Capt. L. l. Fenton. superin-
tendent of surveys under the Rajas-
than court, had some rather exciting
sport in the CHR during the last hot
weather, and finished up with an ex-
ceedingly narrow escape for his life.
A lion had been discovered living down
under n banyan tree. Capt. Fenton
commenced to creep up within shot
under cover of the jungle. lie had
reached within some fifty yards when
a couple of sambar broke cover close
to him and startled the lion, giving
Capt. Fenton only snap shots as it
broke away, half concealed by the I'M
derwood. The shots, as was subse-
emily discovered, took effect high up
on the shoulder. The l~ioncss, for such
she proved to be, ran into a lot of Sc
poys some distance to the right, where
several shots were fired at her, one
taking effect in the stomach.
'On Capt. tenton running up
very much out OF breath, the wounded
lioness was pointed out to him sitting
under n tree some sixty PAGES off, and
without waiting he went forward at
once TO finish her, keeping his putty
walla with a second gun behind him.
He was considerably blown with hard
running and heat, and so his aim was
no so true as usual, and instead of hit
ting her in the chest, as he intended,
the bullet struck her in the forearm,
the effect Of which was to increase her
rage to the attacking point, and with
a roar she came straight for her tor
mentor. At this point in the tamasha
the puttywalla vanished, taking the
second gun with him, and in the in
slant Capt. Fenton felt that his life de-
pended on the remaining barrel. As
the beast approached to within twenty
PAGES he fired at her head. Then,
without waiting to see if she were
stopped or not, he turned and ran for
his second gun, when the puggle, who
had bolted TO one side during the
charge, came up to say the animal was
dead. The shot was true enough this
time London Standard.

Born branches Of the legislature will
be in good working order to day. AS a
usual thing from two to three weeks of
every session are wasted in getting down
to business. The result is that the BUSH
ness of the session is crowded into the last
month and bills are rushed through with.
out thorough consideration. The present
Legislature has an opportunity to remedy
this evil BY getting down to business a
once and sticking at it persistently.
