FOR TEN LONG YEARS.
Johnson, a Young Desperate, Pleads
Guilty and is Sentenced.
His Exploits in Laramie, Albany
and Carbon Counties.
A Continuance Secured for Murray,
a Murderer.


Chas. johnson, alias Smith, who dis
tinguished himself by lawless exploiting
in Laramie, Albany and Carbon counties
last August. plead guilty to grand larceny
before Judge Knight at Rawlins and was
sentenced to ten years imprisonment at
Joliet. The convict is only 20 years old.
but had started on the career of a desRer-
ado.
johnson worked as a ranch hand on
one of the Warren Live Stock company's
places south OF town, He skipped with
five horses which were subsequently re-
covered by John fSlayton. the foreman,
through the efforts of Sheriff Martin.
The latter traced the thief to Saratoga
and was about to have HIM arrested,
when the boy launched out as a bold
operator. He stole two horses and u lot
OF trappings from a rauchman and hid in
the hills, probably awaiting a chance to
run off a bunch of stock. In a search for
thief and property the citizens posse came
upon Johnson's cache of a saddle, chaps,
r%aitas, etc. John Bicktold. formerly of
Cheyenne and another mar we're posted
at the plant to await johnson. The boy
came just at dusk. From cover the
guards called on him TO surrender. In
stead of complying johnson opened fire
on his would-be captors. This was re-
turned BY one, but Bicktold's gun was out
OF killer and he couldn't shoot. The re-
suit ofthe scrimmage was that johnson
retired after w~ounding Bicktold in the
thigh.
Sheriff Hadsell, of Carben county, de-
termined to corral the amatuer "Persim-
mon Bill and sounded the alarm along
the line. John Martin was very DESTROYS
that johnson should be placed behind the
bars and entered on the chase. He struck
the trail of the fugitive at Rock Greek,
where he procured a fresh horse from
friends. A Carbon county deputy was 10
the field. He lost trace Of Johnson this
side Of Laramie and came on to Chey-
enne Martin directed him toward Fort
Collins and at that place the thief was
brought to bay. As the Laramie county
officer had suggested. the thief had gone
down the Poudre valley from Virginia
Dale. johnson was armed and mounted,
but submitted to arrest very quietly.
The feeling against johnson in Carbon
county was such that his immediate re-
turn there was considered unsafe and he
was held at Laramie several days. He
was not arraiRned for the shooting of
Bicktold. Laramie county was fortunate
in this matter, saving itself the prosecu.

A MURDERER.

A continuance was secured for Thos.
Murray. the brakeman who killed in
cold blood Jack McFarlane, a darkey. at
Rawlins early in the fall. Murray
counsel applied for a change of venue. but
this was denied. This defendant has
friends and relatives in Chicago who
will furnish a considerable sun of money
to be used on his behalf. According to
the account of eye witnesses his crime
was entirely uuprovoked. but it begins to
look as though he would get off with a
comparatively light sentence. The out
come was limited in these columns a
month or more z on the strength of an
interview with a railway man Of Rawlins.

Service.

Service is one of the conditions of
society. 1t is due from all TO all in
different ways, and the more fully
and heartily it is given, the more
happily and permanently will social
life progress. So far from service
ever being a mark of degradation, it
is the very mark of nobility, and he
who refuses to render it, whatever be
his talents, or power, or wealth, OF
education, is the true object of con-
tempt. 1t is very often the case that
this service is bought and sold, and,
where the terms of the contract are
fair on both sides and honored by
both, it is as purely business matter
as the purchase of goods, their deliY-
cry and their payment. There is NJ
question Of superiority or inferiority
no mark Of authority or subsection il
the one case any more than in The
other.

Noble Boys.

1t is the greatest delusion in the
world for boy to get the idea that
his life is Of no consequence, and
that the character of it will not be
noticed. A manly, truthful boy will
shine like star in any community.
A boy may possess as much of noble
character as man. He may so
speak and live the truth that there
shall be no discount on his word.
And there are such noble, Christian
boys, and wider and deeper than any
are apt to think is their influence.
They are the king boys among their
fellows, having an immense influence
for good and loved and. respected
because of the simple fact of living
the truth.

A Goliath in Stone.

Vinelhaven, Maine, Claims to have
produced the largest stone ever
brought to light. The Bodwell Gran
lite Company recently quarried a shaft
of.granite which is the largest piece
of stone ever quarried anywhere, and
if erected, will be the highest, largest
and heaviest single piece Of solid
stone standing, or that ever stood, so
far as any record can be found, In
height, it considerably exceeds any
of the Egyptian obelisks. The tallest
of these, which was brought from
Heliopolis to Alexandria by Emperor
Constantine, and afterward taken to
Rome, where it is still standing, is
one hundred and five feet seven
inches high, while the Vinalhaven
shaft is one hundred and fifteen feet
long, Ten feet square at the base, and
weighs eight hundred and fifty tons.
1t is understood that the company
quarried this immense monolith Of
their own account, not having an
order for anything of the kind, and
they suggest that it would be fitting
contribution from Maine for the
monument to be erected in honor o
General Grant.

Chinese Sayings.

Some Of the ordinary expressions OF
the Chinese are very sarcastic and
characteristic. A clustering, harms

When man values himself over
much, they compare him to ga rat
falling into a scale and weighing
himself" OVERRIDING thing, they
call "a hunchback making a bow"
A spendthrift they compare to a
rocket which goes off at once. Those
who expend their charity on remote
objects, but neglect their family, are
said "to hang lantern on a rope
which is seen afar but gives no light
below"

Anemomter on The EiRel Tower.

A series of observations for hun
dred consecutive days has been made
at the top of the Eiflel Tower on the
velocity Of the wind. Speaking
generally, the velocity at that eleva-
ton was three times in the average
greater than nearer the ground.
Much of the diminution Of force and
speedis no doubt, due to the cheek
given by houses and other objects
Lear the surface of the earth. The
observations present many curious
details as to the variations at various
times of the day and night, due to
changes Of temperature.

Be Careful in Speech.

Carefulness and exactitude in
speech are sometimes characterized as
affection and mere pedantry, but, say
what some people may, it is unques-
tionably the unfailing mark of cul-
ture. Noone thoroughly and loving
ly acquainted with the literature OF
his language can regard propriety in
its use with contempt. The purity
and harmony and rhythm of his ma
tive tongue are as precious to him as
the perfect rendering and interpreta-
ton of a musician; and to the preser-
walton of the English Language in its
integrity it should be the duty and
the pleasure Of every individual lover
of it to contribute.

Keep Busy.

The secret of success in life is to
keep busy, to be persevering, patient,
and untiring in the pursuit or calling
you are now following. The busy
ones may now and then make mis-
takes, but it is better to risk these
than to be idle and inactive. Keep
doing, whether it be at work or seek
ing recreation. Motion is life, and
the busiest are the happiest. Cheer
full, active labor is a blessing. An old
philosopher says; "The FREELY only
shines when on the wing; so it is
with the mind; when once we rest,
we darken."

Rich Without Money.
Clay Manufacturers Engineer.

Clay Manufacturers Engineer.
Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands Of men with nothing in
their pockets, and thousands without
even a pocket, are rich. a man born
with a good, sound constitution, a
good stomach, good heart, and good
limbs and pretty good headpiece, is
rich. Good bones are better than
gold; tough muscles than silver; and
nerves that flash fire and carry ener-
gy to every function are better than
houses and land. 1t is better than a
landed estate to have the right kind
of a father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as
really as among herds and horses.
Education may do much to check
evil tendencies or to develop good
ones; but it is great thing to inherit
the right proportion Of faculties to
start with. The man is rich who has
a good disposition, who is naturally
kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and
who has flavor of wit and fun in his
composition.
The hardest thing to get on with in
this life is a mans own self. A cross
selfish fellow, responding and com
planning fellow, timid and care
burdened man-these are all born de
formed on the inside. They do no
limp, but their thoughts sometime,
do.
