was arrested for stealing a silver watch
from canvasman, and was duly tried
before Justice of the Peace and ac-
quilted. When the crowd had gone
the Magistrate saw the former prisoner
still sitting furtively watching the
door.
"Ah, my good man." said he, athe
law has found you to be innocent. Why
don't you go?"
"Gol go!' gasped the "grafter." "

SAYS an American lady: while in
Canada recently, I went into candy
store to make purchase, and, as I had
always done at home, sampled some Of
the varieties piled on the counter. And
what do you think I found? Cayenne
pepper! At first supposed it was some
candy made for April Fools Day, but
when I sampled two other piles which
looked tempting and from which, had
they pleased me, I should have pur-
chased, I found that cayenne pepper
was in each piece. In order to stop
customers eating candy they don't pay
for said my companion. I tell you I
was mad; and when I thought of the
way in this country, where one is asked
to sample everything unknown before
buying, l told the clerk didn't want
the caramels. understand some one
is trying to annex Canada to the United
States. Well, my uncle is a United
States Senator, and I shall tell him
that unless he prevents such thing I
shall go to Europe and marry a French
Prince. I understand that they are
cheap now."

REALTY is MOVING.
Two Good Sales of Suburban Land
Made Here Yesterday.
An Illinois Man Takes Twenty Acres
and Wants More.
John Roberts Buys the Fine Web
ster Tract for S25, 900.

Two notable real estate sales were made
yesterday. In one instance a Cheyenne
man bought from a Nebraska Spectator
who has large interests here. In the
other deal n Cheyenne man was the
grantor and an Illinois man the grantee.
Russell L. Tracy and Albert Chapman
sold to w. B. Miller of Aurora, ILL.,, for
L. X. Bresnahen. twenty acres in section
2, Immediately west of town, at $50 an
acre. Mr.. Miller is also negotiating for
another and larger tract. The considera.
ton in this anticipated sale will approx
mate $4,000. Mr.. Miller has named
his purchase Highland Place" has en-
gagged f. H. Jones to plat the tract and will
syndicate it in Chicago. Messrs. Tracy
and Chapman fixed Mr.. Miller out with
ILLUSTRATED LEADERS and the gentle
man thinks he will have no trouble in in
teresting a Roodly number OF eastern
friends in Cheyenne. He came to town
only Thursday and was keen to get in
before he had been here t~wenty-four
hours. This is a striking example of the
manner in which Cheyenne impresses
visitors.
Through the efforts of Maj. Garland
there was effected yesterday the heaviest
sale made since the moving days of mid
summer. John Roberts, who has for
several years been a conspicuous figure in
Cheyenne realty circles. and who is recog-
nized as one of the shrewdest operators
and best sellers in the business here. is
the buyer. He gets what is known as the
Webster tract OF the South Cheyenne ad-
dition. The latter was subdlvided last
year, but never put on the market. Mr..
Roberts acquisition is ioriy-two acres
fronting On Seventh street, lying between
Central e and Pebrican street, with
in a block of water. The consideration
was $25. 900. Mr.. Roberts will place the
land OF the market at once. 1t Is already
in lots and blocks. Part of it is in the
original TOWNSHIP. He will sell seasonable,
be says, and on good terms.

JUDGE POTTER.

Willis Van Devantcr. who was ap-
pointed chief Justice of the territory by
President Harrison, who was elected a
member of the supreme court last month
and who became chief justice by drawing
the short term. has resigned. He will re-
sumo the practice OF law here, forming a
partnership with Judge Lacey.
Q. N. Potter, one of the leaders of the
first district bar, will. in all likelihood,
succeed Judge Van Devanter. He has
been proffered the place by Governor
Warren. When a vacancy occurs the
executive makes an appointment which
holds to the next general election. Mr..
Potter has been long in Cheyenne, is a
clever gentleman, an esteemed citizen and
learned in the law.
While on the bench Judge Van De-
vanter enjoyed the distinction of being
the Youngest chief justice in the United

the cattle we can raise in the United
States to feed our own people, while the
more thickly populated countries OF
Europe cannot even now raise enough
meat for their own use; then with in
creasing foreign and home demand for
beef and only a limited increase of our
beef supply, nov about 81, 100000 cattle,
besides the 10000 900 mich cows, our
chief increase must be in increased value
from the universal introduction of the
improved breeds aud the use of full blood

SPRINGS.

Then Better Than Dakota,s.

Writing from Hot Springs. Dakota, to
TIE LEADER. Billy" Winters, who has
been q rheumatic for eighteen months,
says:
The composition Of the water is prin-
cipally lime. soda, potassium and mag
nesia. You will see that two great min
erals are absent, namely, sulphur and
iron OF course the low altitude of the
place, the Improvements in bath houses
and the attention given to invalids have q
great deal to do with the success of the
of the water. Otherwise 1t can't begin
to compare with the springs of Saratoga
out from Rawlins. 1 know whereof l
speak, having tried both of them. and
were the Wyoming springs put IN proper
condition they weuld excel any in the
country. Through the center of the
principle canyon here courses a beautiful
stream of clear water, known as the Fall
river. Bridges span it every few hundred
yards. AT its base and partially up the
hillsides are massive rocks ~overshadowed
BY a dense growth of trees that ex-
tends to the hilltops and out on the
plain. Looking up the hillside eau
be seen workmen busilv engaged
in cutting away and l~eveling ground,
while masons are laying foundations for
buildings. Already a great number have
been erected that would do credit to any
city in the union. In the distance can
be seen a beautiful four story stone
structure-the soldiers home of South
Dakota. On the plain above town are
many handsome residences, and in course
of construction is the Methodist college.
Plans are being formulated for the erection
on some site of Catholic college and a
hotel Of 400 rooms. When the latter is
completed it will make about the eighth
in number here. Everything presents a
picturesque appearance. The low ele-
walton, it beng only $500 feet and the
natural scenery bring a great number of
pleasure seekers here in summer months

R%IpIcuLous EXCUSE.
They Say at OMAHA Coal Handling
DELAYS the Fast Mail.

spesial Dispatch to The Leader.
OMAHA, Oct. l7.-Regarding the fire.
quept complaints which have beer made
about the delay in the overland mail be-
tween Omaha and San Francisco, the
Union Pacific officials here say that it has
been caused by the great increase in the
coal traffic on the Wyoming division of
the road between Cheyenne and Ogden.
The coal business has been extraordinarily
heavy and the movement of coal trains
has interfered. more or less, with
the fast mail. Several wrecks recently
have contributed largely to the
delay aud as a consequence the mail has
been late in Ogden from two to three
times a week. The officials, however. are
informed this delay has only been from
one to two hours and cannot understand
why this could not be made up by the
Southern Pacific passenger train which
carries the mail between Ogden and the
Pacific coast.
