TRULY GOOUS' METHOD.
The Laramie Sentinel claims that the
Democratic press Is circulating the report
that if L. E. Warren is elected governor
and the LEGISLATURE is Republican he will
resign so as to go to the United States
senate. Ii Their quotes the constitution
to show that the governor could not posi-
bly, do this. The truly good Deacon Hay
ford, like a modern Don Quixote, is en-
gagged in fighting wind mills. No charge
such as that alleged has ever been made
by the Democratic press. The charge
was and is that Warren and his friends
realize that he has no hope of election
and consequently are concentrating their
efforts upon the election of the legislature
which, in the event it is Republican, will
send Warren and Carey to the United
States senate. The truly good Deacon
Hayford's methods of argument are Pc
culiar to himself. He first d:storts to suit
his purposes the allegations which he
wishes to controvcrt and then triumphant
ly knocks them into smithereens.

A BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY Y.

" ~ VI wa 49,
Ever since the day when George w.
Baxter was appointed governor Of Wyo-
ming and it became evident that his abil-
ity, character and influence woull make
him a strong political figure, the Sun
and its coterie Of Machine Republicans
have pursued him with a %maliGnancY
which barely stopped shert OF persecu-
ton. They have taken special delight in
distorting the circumstances which led to
Mr.. Bakers resignation as governor and
have endeavored by every means at their
command to place him in n false attitude
before the people and his own party. As
the recollection Of many of the crrcum
stances of MIR. Bakers resignation may
not be very vivid in the public mind we
take pleasure 10 reproducing from the
columns of the New York Tribune the
following manly letter written by Mr..
Baxter to that paper at the time:
SIR:-I have read in your issue OF the
3rd inst, a letter dated Wyoming Terri
tory, Nov. %, 1856, and signed by Z A.
Slack, and your editorial comments there
on. l feel bertaIn that a great m~etropoli-
tan journal will not willingly lend itself
to the purposes of a political opponent in
an attack uDou private character, for
while the pretense Of your correspondent
is criticism Of the present national adj
ministration, his real aud only object is
to give publicity to his abuse of me.
His entire letter is made up of assump-
tons not founded on fact and misrepre-
sensations as will appear IRON a considera-
ton of the circumstances leading to nv
appointment to the E%overnorship of Wy
oming and subsequent resignation.
When Presidest Cleveland determined,
presumably for good and sufficient rea-
sons, to remove Francis E. Warren from
the ~governorship, he desired in the selec-
ton of his successor. co comply, il posi-
bic. with the pledges OF the party for
home appointments
Nv name was presented to him and |
presume Others for consideration in this
connection. but not as your correspondent
states by the Tennessee delegation nor
was it asked for or urged by such delega-
ton. In fact they had little or nothing
to do with the appointment. On the 5th
day Of November last | was named for
the place. At that time l am satisfied
that the president knew nothing of y
connection l ever had with fencing rail
road lands. and so far as | know and be-
lieye, he had no knoEle1ge of the fences
of ex- Governor Warren and NJ. f. Post.
-Four days after my appointment was an
nouDced 1 received from Secretary Lamar
a Geographic inquiry as to whether or not

To this / replied in the negative. | had
some two years before inclosed govern
ment lands in fencing certain land bought
BY me Of the Union Pacific Railway COM

TO consider such Enclosure Illegal.

was lodged against me and that an effort
was to be made by a set of disappointed

A FEW CORRECTIONN

The company now contemplates a with
drawal Of the Cheyenne office, and in this
event Mr., Baxter will probably go to Den
yer, as he has no property interests OF his
own in the state.-The Sun.
As to the possibility of Mr.. Baxter re:
moving to Denver, that is too palpably silly
to even merit a reply. As to Mr.. Baxter
having no property interests in the state,
the Laramie county tax roll for 1890
shows that he is assessed for $40, 500
worth of land in the county and two
pieces Of residence property in Cheyenne
which are assessed at So, 1000. Any taxpay-
er may satisfy Himself as to the correctness
of these figures by calling at the county
clerks office.

A FEW ERRoRS C%lRRECTEp.

Poor Baxter He and Judge Carey
set out on a joint debating tour last week
and spoke at Evanston. Green River,
Rock Springs and Rawlins. The joint
debate as originally planned embraced the
entire state. but the Demys decided that
it wouldn't do. Chairman Hunter oil the
Democratic state committee went. up to
Rawlins in haste and took Baxter back to
Cheyenne with him, leaving Carey to
cover the balance OF the dates alone
Douglas Budget
The esteemed Budget is a perfect mine
OF transformation. The. tour originally
agreed upon embraced the towns OF
Evanston Almy, Green River, Rock
Springs and Rawlins-not the entire state.
Mr.. Baxter did not come back to Chey-
enne but has already spoken at Saratoga,
Carbon and Lander. Judge Carey came
home by way of Laramie. Mr.. Baxter
was willing to continue the joint debates
but Carey said his time was not his own
as he was the chairman OF the Republi-
can state committee and he therefore de
clined Mr.. Bakers proposition,
Col. Kimball, o the Glensock Graphic,
tells the story of a man who hadn't sense
enough to ache when he was hurt. His
name wasn't Carey, however.

MANIKINS.

The anonymous communications on po-

lures of the campaign. All the lay fig

EMPLOYMENT OF "PINKER
TONS"


The history OF the bill in regard to the
importation OF Pinkerton men into the
territory, in the legislature of 1888 is in
terestinR. On January % Mr.. Sutherland
Of Albany county rave notice that he
would introduce in the Democratic house
a bill for an act restricting the appoint
ment of deputy sheriffs, marshals and
policemen, and for other purposes" On
the following day the bill, was read for the
first time. On January 81 the bill was
passed by a vote of % ayes, one member
being absent.
The bill went to the Republican council.
ofwhich John A. Riner was president, on
Jan. is. On Feb. 2 it was referred to
the committee of which J. II. Symons,
a railroad attorney Of Laramie
was chairman. On the 9th Of March
Mr.. Symons. on behalf OF his committee.
returned the bill to the council without
Recommendation. On the same day the
committee Of the whole reported in favor
Of the indefinite postponement OF the bill.
Later in the day the bill was indefinitely
postponed on motion Of Perry l. Smith
of Carbon county.
The state constitution, chiefly through
the exertions of Mr.. Thos. R. Reid, con
tains this provision on the same subject:
Section mo armed police force, or
detective agency, or armed body, or I'M
armed tody of men, shall ever be brought
into this state for the suppression of do
mestic violence, except upon the applica-
ton Of the legislature, or executive when
the Legislature cannot be convened.

Stationary Travelling.

Thoreau believed, or sometimes talked
as IL he believed, that everything was to
be found in Concord. There was no
great occasion for travelling he thought.
If you really needed to see anything, you
had only to stay at home, and in due
time it would come to you.
This was somewhat whimsical, and no
one was better aware Of the fact than
Thoreau himself, who loved a paradox as
other men love dinner. But one of our
exchanges knows of man who seems to
have been pretty wide traveller without
ever having been away from home.
He has lived in two states, in three
counties and in three TOWNS, and yet he
has always lived where he was born.
The facts of the case are these:
Charles Graham was born in the state
of Massachusetts, town of New Vine
yard, and county of Kennebec, the 2Sth
day of May, 1910. In 1920 that part of
Massachusetts, wasincorporated or set of
as Maine. He still lived in New Vine
yard, Kennebec county, but in Maine In.
stead Of in Massachusetts,.
Then his part Of New Vineyard was
set off into the town of Industry, Somer
ret county. When Franklin county was
Incorporated, Industry was set off as &
part of it. In 1850 the part Of Industry
where he lived was again set off into thu
town of Pennington. So Mr.. Graham
who is 70 years old, has lived success
sfvely in Massachusetts, and in Maine, il
Kennebec, Somerset and Franklin coun
ties, and in the towns Of New Vineyard
Industry and Pennington, and all tn
time on the same farm.-Youth's Com

Ten Pins In Hawaii.

natives swarmed like bees whenever
went abroad; you see, was the one
haoli-or foreigner-who had unlimited
leisure, and they knew not at what mo-
ment 1t might suit my fancy to embark
upon some erratic expedition such as
they delighted in. At moments notice
Icould command troop of horse worthy
Of an outlaw chief. II I retired to the
billiard hall to amuse myself with the
light and airy cue, the windows and
doors commanding the four sides of the
table were certain to be darkened with q
cloud Of witnesses. But am forgetting
the ten pins.
There was a small Kanaka for every
pin, and one for each ball. These In
some mysterious way hung upon the
wall at the far and fatal end Of the bowl.

Two Hundred Wounds.

An extraordinary attempt at suicide
has been made in Paris. A shoemaker,
described as a decent, industrious man,
having fallen into misfortunes, and suf-
fering from extreme poverty, decided to
take his own life and end the struggle.
He took knife used in his trade and
commenced to stab himself in the arms
and legs, it is supposed with the idea of
opening one of the chief veins, but, find
ing that the end did not come quickly
he continued with sort of fury, and
had just rolled upon the floor exhausted
when brother, who had been apprehen-
sive of his state, appeared on the scene.
The wounded man was conveyed to a
hospital, where it was found that he had
inflicted on himself two hundred distinct
wounds.-Philadelphia Ledger.

He Lost the Diamonds.

A leading Detroit business man has
given his wife diamonds in eardrops,
rings and bracelet amounting to between
$1,000 and $4,000. The lady occasionally
becomes distrustful of her ability to take
care of them and turns them over to her
husbands keeping.
He had been carrying them in his vest
pocket for three or four days, when one
Sunday he wanted his horse in hurry,
and in the absence of his man went out
to the barn to hitch it up himself. He
pulled off his coat and in the effort OF
putting ON the horses collar must some
how have turned out the contents of his
vest pocket.
At any rate, that night, on retiring, he
bethought him of the diamonds, and lo'
they were missing. He at once tele'
phoned police headquarters and put forth
every effort to find them. a couple OF
days passed, and no returns coming in
it occurred to him that he might posi-
bly, have lost them in the barn. A hum
in the straw on the floor of the stall sooI
disclosed the white envelope in which
the stones had been folded. 1t was al
cut to pieces, showing that it had beer
ground under the horses hoofs. Afte
three hours search every piece Of tin
jewelry was found, and not one bit in
iured. The soft straw had protected
even the gold from so much as scratch

Living in San Francisco today are
two persons whose strange experiences
have long been mystery to me. Two
years ago Boston gentleman came out
to the coast. He brought with him his
companion, young woman in the last
stages of consumption. She was pretty
and talented and ten years younger than
her escort. 4fa ,g.
One day her. companion was out Of the
city. During his absence she was taken
suddenly with sinking spell and the
landlady became greatly alarmed. In
two hours the invalid was pronounced
dead by the ladies in the boarding house
who were in attendance upon her. As
the day advanced the landlady, seeing
no signs Of the gentleman's return, WIS.,
tied an undertaker's near by and prep
arations were made for laying out the
corpse. .s sffs y.rssyy
The body was cold and stiff when the
undertaken arrived. He viewed the
corpse and went back to his shop for his
assistant. During his absence the miss
ing companion Of the dead young woman
arrived upon the scene. It was now
about o'clock in the afternoon. Upon
being informed Of her death five hours
before the gentleman uttered an exclam.
alton of surprise. Then rushing up tc
the room where the body lay he closed
the door behind him and turned the key
When the undertaken returned he wal
refused admission. Two hours after the
gentleman emerged from the room and
ordered two suppers sent to the apart
ment,
Later the young lady was seen sitting
upright in bed, eating heartily. Her com
panion had brought her back to life by {
method Of rubbing and physical manipu
lation known only to himself. Twic
after this he repeated the performance
Three times to my knowledge has thi
young man brought the young womal
back from the dead. She lives here to
day, still an invalid, and is liable to di
again at almost any moment.-Col
