The findings Of the jury and sentences
In the cases Of Fred Hagerman and
VIM. KinRen will be received with pro.
found satisfaction by the people OF Lara
ME county. For several years it has been
a matter Of impossibiitY to secure con-
victions in Wyoming OF men charged with
the offense OF stealing live stock, The
laws against such ofenses were eracti-
callY dead letters Tine is beginning
TO work some wonderful changes
in this respect. To steal cattle is
coming to be considered as great
: theft as to steal any other thing of equal
value. Hagerman's retirement will be
a very good thing for the country and
should the conviction of Kingen break
up the ganR who did such a thriving bust
ness in the theft of Wyoming cattle,
it will be a Godsend to tho ortft4 which
range their herds close to the Nebraska
border. The certain knowledge that con
uction and punishment will closely fol
low proof OF guilt IN these cases will do
much to deter further depredations 10
this direction.

THERE is one very peculiar provision
of Mr.. Robins bill which makes
registration a necessary prelimi-
nary to voting ut municipal
elections It is evidently intended to
cover the coming city election IN Chey-
enne. Ordinarily thirty days notice
must be given in cases Of election SO
that opportunity may be had for proper
registration of the voters, but the pro-
visions Of Mr.. Robins bill are arranged
TO 40 into effect Immediately without
reference to the date of any proposed
election. Il Is evident that the Republi
cans are extremely anxious to carry the
next e%leelion in Cheyenne.

SENATOR McGuLL is evidently a stick
Ter for Judicial dignity, Judging from his
sensible remarks on the subject OF the
chief Justice in the senate yesterday. The
lobby is scarcely the place for a man with
a proper appreciation Of judicial dignity,
and Chief Justice Groesbeck should
speedily learn this lesson. We notice in
a recent issue of the Rawlins Journal
that Judge Merrill was asked why he was
not In Cheyenne looking after the legisla-
ture. His reply was that the lobby was
no place for a judge. The people will
probably agree with him

Their Homes at Night.

Z. T. Payton, circulator Of THE LEADER,
yesterday received a letter from his
mother who lives about sixty miles from

lowing are some extracts from the letter
which was written Dec. Z.

up to within five miles Of Rapid City. Mr..
Gus and Ollie came on IN TO Rapid that

Hope they will disarin the Indians-but
if they do there will be war sure News
comes In this morning that the Indians
are running OF cattle from the mouth OF

Some Indians are camped FIVE or six
miles south Of town but no one knows
what they are there for, whether they are

The house dallied with Mr.. Bonds as
sistsnt secretary bill in committee OF the
whole yesterday afternoon and seemed to
enjoy it. The bull provides that in case
the secretary Is called upon TO perform
the duties OF governor. an assistant sec
rotary OF state shall be appointed by the
acting governor. His salary is placed at
$1,000 and his term Of office lasts only
during such time as the acting governor
Is performing the duties Of governor.
Griffin and Peterson OF Uinta, Baker of
Converse, Gebhsrd of Albany, johnson
and several others expressed themselves
as decidedly in opposition to the bill for
the reason that 1t created a new and IN
necessary Office. AL of those who
spoke in opposition favored giving the
acting governor as~contingent fund to
cuver the expenses of the secretary's OF
fee. The bill was amended in various
ways until it finally became a little short
of ridiculous and in this shape was re
ported back u the house with an adverse
Recommendation.

How the dull Monotony was Relieved by a
bit of Excitement.

How the dull MOnotony was Relieved by a
bit of Excitement.
Sam Miller is the name of a gray
headed old darkey who fills the posi-
ton of sexton at the First Baptist
church and is employed by Mr.. Leo
nard Gee to drive his city street
sprinkler. For some time past ugly
reports have been coming to Uncle
Sam about the infdelity of his wife.
The gay Lothario mentioned in the
case was Lawson McSpratten, a
mulatto individual who keeps shoe
shop on Quitman street just beyond
the barrel house saloon. On Friday
shortly before noon while Uncle Sam
was driving his sprinkler in that
neighborhood he saw McSpratten
get up from his cobbler's bench and
start down towards Camptown. Sam
temporarily abandoned his sprinkler,
armed himself with an iron wagon
rod and followed at distance. His
suspicious were not unfounded and
he didn't have to wait long for de
velopments. McSpratteu went de-
liberately into Miller's house, and
was almost instantly taken by sur
prize, but succeeded in making his
escape out at back window. Anti
cipating the course he would take
back to town, Sam Miller ran up
Sandy street, darted through side
street to Main street and took his
stand at the corner, near the resi-
dence of Mr.. John H. Miller, the
sewing machine agent. Presently
McSpratten came along and Sam
Miller jumped out and confronted
him. McSpratten drew a pistol, but
Miller quickly knocked it out of his
grasp and welted him several blows
with the iron rod, severely wounding
and Gripping one of his arms and
hands. McSpratten took to his heels
and Miller took up the pistol and
ran up the street bawling for the
police. Tom Matchett, at Lockett's
livery stable, seeing the pistol and
hearing the cry for police blew a
whistle and the city marshal took
Miller into custody A few minutes
later McSpratten was captured. The
former was released and the latter
was taken before Justice Curry and
put under bond no answer at the
term of the county court to the
charge of carrying pistol.

When the westbound Central
passenger train slowed up at the de-
pot at noon on Monday one of the
passengers stepped off for moment
to stretch his legs and exercise a bit.
When the train got ready to pull
out it was il motion before he
noticed it, and in running to get
aboard he in some way was tripped
up and his feet was thrown across
the trucks. Before he could be res
cued the ball of his right foot was
crushed by the wheels and three of
his toes were badly mashed. DR..
W. A. Lockett were. called and the
train was held up until he could
hastily dress the wound, after which
he was put aboard and the train
moved out. 1t may become neces-
sary to have a large portion of the
foot amputated. The unfortunate
man proved to be Mr.. r. W. Brooks,
an old and highly esteemed citizen
of Lee county, who is farmer and
is about fifty years old. He lives Oh
the Yegua about eleven miles north
of Giddings.
