The Pacific Express company will sell
at auction about 400 pieces of unclaimed
express matter on "Wednesday next, July
2nd. The sale will commence at 10 o'clock
in the morning and will continue until
all of the articles are sold. Henry Har-
rinKton will o~fioiste as auctioneer aud the
sale will take place IN the store room ad-
joining Mr.. Harrington clothing store on
Eddy street. =
These cleaning up sales of unclaimed eI-
press matter offer a rich field for money
making to the speculatively inclined.
Valuable packages are often misdirected
and find their way into these auctions.
At the last sale 10 this city a very dilapi-
dated looking parcel wrapped in an old
newspaper was purchased for a quarter.
When the purchaser opened it he found
six handsome silk scarfs and a diamond
pin. the latter valued at $50. Tumble
down trunks have been the hiding places
of valuable gold watches and sorry look
ing grip sacks have sometimes concealed
vAluabies which paid big returns for them.
As no article will be withdrawn on &C
count of low bidding aud as most OF the
goods sell for about the value in sight;
the sale will no doubt be an animated
one.

A SENSATIONAL SUIT.
Lawing for the Property of a
Dead Demi Monde.
A Mysterious Death and {
Valuable Estate.
Rock Springs Coal Miners Will
Likely Strike.
RATHER

A sensational suit, involving the
Grover property, Laramie real estate,
worth go. 900, will shortly be instituted,
says the Boomerang.
The place was owned years ago by a
Notorious woman who called herself Dol
lie Bailey, and was also known as Puss
Newport. She was a blonde of the
handsomest presence. 1t was nine years
ago that she married John A. Grover.
They lived together but a comparatively
short time, for one night the report OF a
revolver was heard and the woman was
found lying on the floor with a bullet
wound in her temple. 1t was decided
that she committed suicide. Her prop
ertv went to Grover as her only heir, and
not long afterward he married Mary Lam
bert, known now as Monte Grover.
Now, after all these years, comes a new
chapter. 1t seems that Dolly Bailey had
been married before she came west and
that she had deserted her husband at
Lincoln, Neb., and entered upon a life
Of shame. Uriah Branch, who is yard
master for the Northern Pacific at ST.
Paul. Mimi, claims to have been the
man whom she deserted. He asserts
that they had never been divorced but
were legally man and wife, not only when
she married Grover but at the time OF
her death and that he-Branch-was
therefore the heir to her property.
COAL MINERS OUT.
Between $50 and 300 coal miners, in
Guiding whites and Chinese, are out at
Rock Springs, aud No. s mine,a producer
Of fuel for the Anaconda smelters, is idle.
The men are firm in their stand against
the adoption of screens. though the en-
ployers ask for but a trial OF the pro-
posed system. All Sam, an Interpreter,
has assured the leaders that the Chinese
will not falter and a Fin captain has
made the same announcement for his
people. In the light of late meetings and
consultations the Independent says it is
useless to disguise the fact hat the rela-
lions between the coal department and
its employees in Rock SPRINGS are consid-
erably strained and that it will require
good judgment to stave off a result that
will be disastrous to the department, its
employees and the whole town.
A WANDERING NEEDLE.
Mrs. Henry Matsen. of Rock Springs,
had a needle taken from her right breast,
Just above the nipple. by DR.. Smith on
Tuesday. The needle, according to the
Independent. was driven into her right
arm about three years ago and has been
wandering through her body ever since.
She has not felt it until the last month,
when she has had an uneasy feeling in her
breast. There was a sore spot In the
breast which had to be lanced to effect the
removal Of the needle.

Garfield Beach on Great Salt Lake,
Utah.

Juan.
The famous health and pleasure resort,
Garfield Beach, on Great Salt Lake,
Utah, IL miles from Salt Lake City, and
reached only via the Union Pacific, THE
Overland Route" is now open for the
season. This is the only real sand beach
on Great Salt Lake. and ia one of the
finest bathing and pleasure resorts in the
West. Great Salt Lake is NOT a srllen,
Gstless sheet Of water, beating idly on the
shore, but or the contrary is as beautiful
a sheet of water as can be found anywhere.
1t is 81 per cent salt, while the ocean is
only 3 per cent, and the water is 80 bouy-
ant that a person is sustained on its
surface indefinitely without the least effort
on his part. Experience has proven its
great hygenic effects. Owing to the
stimulating effect of the brine on the skin,
or the saline air on the lungs the appetite
Is stimulated, and after a bath, the bathers
are ready for a hearty meal, and feel
greatly invigorated. Fine bath houses,
accommodating 400 people, have been
erected at Garfield Beach, in connection
with which there is a first class restaurant
and a large dancing pavilion built out over
the lake, all OF these are run by the Union
Pacific, who guarantee a first class resort in
every respect. The Union Pacific has
made low rates Of fare for those de-

Not a Trust.
TStock Journal

The idea seems to have gone abroad
that the Western Union Beef company,
recently organized at Denver, Colo, is a
new combination. This is a mistake. 1t
is simply a reorganization of the old
American Cattle Trust. No new men
have joined the concern and no new herds
have been absorbed. Under the trust each
local cattle company was forced to keep
up its legal organization and simply turn
over the proceeds to the trust. This me-
cessitated the keeping of as many sets of
books as there were companies in the
trust. Under the new plan all the COM
panies are consolidated anc the business
is greatly simplifed and the labors re-
duced. Having placed itself on the basis
of a legally r~eorRaniIed corporation, thus
overcoming the mistrust of a trust, it
may be able to gather in additional herds.

IT WAS A BATTLE ROYAL.
CapltoIs Best Salt Lake in Ten
Innings.
Mann Was Master and His Support
Was Superb.
BIanford Perfsct---0nIy Two Cap
itol Errors Made.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
SALT LAKE, June 28.-This after
moons game between the Cspitols of
Cheyenne and the local nine was declared
BY 1000 spectators to be the best dia-
mond contest ever witnessed here. 1t
was a thrilling fight from the call Of time
till Ben Mann made a three Dagger and
brought in the winning run for the visit
ors.
Ten innings were played, and each
round was a sharp. stubborn fight, both
sides playing like demons in thar eager
ness to carry the day.
Mann and Blanford. the Capitol bat
terry, worked superbly, setting the audi
ence fairly wild at times by the mastery
n in which they covered the points.
Mann had the Lakes at his mercy, but
when the capitols had a good lead, not
ably in the fifth, sixth and seventh, let
them bit the ball to test his felders,
Blsnford had not q passed ball. and his
throwing to bases was something fine.
Croft, Murray, Hynds and Macon, of
the inield. were errorless in their playing.
In the gardens Rapp, Lynott and Nor
lev made some wonderful catches. cap
turing the most difficult flies. They cut
of no less than ton two and three base
hits and home runs Their running
catches we're enthusiastically applauded.
A DO uquet was sent out to Morley.
Only two errors were charged to the
Capitols in the entire ten innings. They
have the freedom of the city tonight but
are nursing themselves for tomorrow's ex-
ira game. 1t was an even thing on the
series OF four and a fifth will be played to
decide the championship of Wyoming
and Utah. The game will be for the
gate receipts or a benefit to the visitors.
Most Salt Lake people favor the latter.
but Cheyenne is not particular, being
confident they can win. This was the
first ten inning game of the season here
and the fans are wild with delight.
The score was Capitols, 7; Salt Lake. 6.

here. ~
