The telephone spoiled an elopement at
Spearfsh, 8. D.. lust across the Wyom-
ing line, the other day. John Cowgirl of
Whitewood, fell in love with q Miss
Haynes, and as the girl was under age and
the consent OF her parents not to be had,
an elopement was the result. The young
couple started for Spearish where the
nuptial knot was to be tied. when the
irats parent got wind of the affair and
telephoned to the sheriff to stop the runa-
ways. The loving pair were met on the
road by the officer and the young lady
sent back to her parents. Cowgirl will
probably be prosecuted for abduction.

The editor of the Defiance. o., Repub-
licdn lately visited Frank Roedel here.
OF the town he writes: The business
men are a live. pushing class. and if
Cheyenne does not become one of the
largest and best towns in the far west it
will not be the fault of its business men.
The Union Pacific railroad is building
large shops at this point. The railroad
company has made a contract with the
city to spend 81. DOC, 600 per year for five
years. They claim that when their works
are completed their pay roll will be about
1885, 900 per month. This alone will
support a large city. We were much
pleased with Cheyenne's outlook. The
people there are all 'hustlers" and they
have but little use for '~'tenderfeet," as
they call the slow moving people from the
East"

Oheycunc Q popuiatIOu nhs Dteu uOuer-
estimated all along. The postofhce de-
partment credited the place with 10, 1000
and few citizens ventured above that fig
ure until three months ago. Since Jan.
/. the town has had a remarkable growth.
The enumeration here was made very
thoroughly by G. M. Kepler. A. R.
Whitley. P. f. Powelsou and W. o.
Smith. They began listing June 2, and
finished on time with the month.
Laramie has been claiming 1000 and
5000 all along aud Rawlins was supposed
to be the third town, with Evanston
fourth.
Cheyenne is even now licensed to claim
$4,000 and will be rated at 20, 900 next
year. Denver people have allowed for
the past few years that the Colorado CAPT
tai had a population OF $4,000, but the
counters could find only about I3O, 900.
Cheyenne has been altogether too modest
in this matter.
In a few days Mr. Merrell will be able
to issue a tabulatioD for the entire state.
1t is expected that some OF the northern
towns will make fine showings.

A Young Girl Whose Uncle Prevented Her

Would Like the Novelty and the Salary.
Florence Porter, a well developed and
good looking girl of 16, was arrested yester-
day at the instance OF her relatives to pre-
vent her from joining female professional
baseball club, which is being organized
here. Miss Porter lives at Charities borough,
and is employed as a domestic with family
named Grimm. Her parents are dead, but
her stepfather, John F. Beegel. keeps a
barber shop at PALS Sarah street. Yesterday
her uncle called on Inspector McAleese and
explained to him that Miss Porter had an
swered an advertisements of w. s. Franz
lin for lady baseball players and from
all appearances he believed she intended to
jain the club. He did not think she was old
enough to start out on such life, or to choose
whether or not 1t was best Tor her, and purely
for her own sake he desired her to be stopped.
The girl was found at Boleys hotel, where W.
S. Franklin makes his headquarters, and where
he has already employed few young women,
two of whom are from Cleveland and have been
in the business before. She was indignant at
persuaded to talk much, but by close question
ing she finally confessed that she intended to
join the club if she could, for she thought she
would enjoy the novelty of the thing She had
no experience at ball playing, but thought she
could soon learn. The question of salary was
10: very clear to her, butshe said Mr.. Franklin
had promised the other ladies from 76 cents to
dollar per day and all expenses, and If she
could get that 1t would be far better than work.
ing in d kitchen for 81 SO per week.
The matter was turned over to Agent Dean,
who has decided that unless the young lady
conforms to her unce's wishes and gives up
her intention to sparkle on the diamond, he
will send her to the Reform School. The girl is
at present under the matron's charge at Gen.
