EMULATION OF VICTORY.
Desperate Fight to a Finish Between a
Bear and Black Man..

An ex Texas ranger, now in Cheyenne,
contributes this narrative to the literature
of the day:
we had chased one of the most ia
nous and troublesome bandits for a week.
Just because he and his gang OF despera-
does reached the Rio Grande and safety a
few hours ahead of us we we're sent in
disgrace to a stupid little village quite out
of the world.
In a week we had exhausted every
imaginable amusement recourse and we're
slowly perishinf of ennui. The town
butcher, an austere pioneer who was
somewhat more genial than he looked,
owned an immense and very aggressive
bear, brought in by m~arauding Apaches.
A big, brutal negro was the bully of the
place. He was powerful and pugnaclous
and had the community terrorized.
Some of our fellows conceived the
brilliant idea of pittiug the bear and the
negro for a finish fight. The butcher
was consulted and at once shut off his
pets %rations. We were assured that the
darkey would come to the scratch.
"A regular ampitheater was built for
the event and a tremendous crowd was in
attendance when the bear was deity re-
lieved OF his chain. The negro showed a
disposition to weaken when time was
called, but was thrown into the pit and
told to fight for his life.
ut was a terrific battle. The bear
was hungry and mad and rushed the
other animal at once. Mr.. Coon made a
desperate fight, showing gallant courage,
wonderful strength. great agility and
shrewd generalship. He waded in like
an lrishman at D1nnybronk. He kicked
and butted a nd struck and even bit his
antagonist fighting off the bear re
peatedly.
Finally the bear, which had become
wary of the darkey's brogans, BY careful
n-aneouvering managed to close in. They
clinched and it was all day with the biped.
After giving him a good hug the bear
threw the o from him. The latter
landed squarely on his back. He moaned
and his eyes rolled. The bear accepted
this as a challenge to further combat.
He gave the prostate fighter a terrible
swipe along the ribs, quoting him. Then
he placed a paw on the dArkey's breast
and smiled as he gazed into his flee and
said: vii you give up now, you in
fernal nigger2'"

"A RUNNING TARGET.
A Bad Grader Winged at the Front by a
Contractor.
He Obtained ~Transportatior and Goods
Under False Pretenses.
s aid He Was Poor and Offered Forty DOL
lars For His Life.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
WENDOvER, Wyo., April 2G.-Men in
from the front tell of a shooting ARRAY in
a grade camp at the mouth of Elkhorn
creek. The trouble was between j. W.
Mcdonald, a sub-contractor and r. A.
Temple who clme out from Omaha with
the last lot of graders.
Temple was given transportation to the
work. was fed while en- route and was sup
piled with bedding'and even wearing ap-
parel.
Arriving at the grade Temple refused
to join the gang to which he was assigned.
He set himself up in business by produc-
ing from his grip a half bushel of flash
jewelry and placing the brassy baubles
on sale.
Mcdonald took charge of Temples
business and told the man that he must
work, that he was not bringing merchants
out to the grade. Temple replied in
s%olently and offered to whip his employer.
The latter stIrted for the fellow, who
broke and ran. Mcdonald called to him
to halt, but the Splinter only put on more
steam. Mcdonald was mad and excited.
He whipped out his six shooter aud fired
at the fleeing figure. Temple was winged
and fell heavily. When Mcdonald and
others reached the wounded man he was
on his knees and poklng a purse, which
which was afterwards found to contain
$40, at the shooter, begged HIM to desist
and spare his life.
The bullet struck Temple below the
right shoulder and a triAe to the left. 1t
passed clear through his body, but he
was walking about in an hour. He wants
to retur to the East and Mcdonald says
he may 90 when he pays tor his fare and

AFRICA AND AUSTRALIA.
A Short but Interesting Talk With
DIR. j. Chas. Harrison.

Among the arrivals at the Hotel Nor

lecture to men only at the opera house
tonight. A LEADER representative I'M

a view to obtaining an interview. Upon
entering the parlor assigned to his use,
the reporter found Il man apparently IS

figure, an intellectual face, somewhat fur

Presbyterian Church.
A Splendid Entertainment and a Very
Large Audience.
Every Number on the Programme Was
Pleasing to All.

The entertainment by the class of 81 at
the Presbyterian church last evening was
a splendid affair. Every number on the

WORK OF GOOD WOMEN
Record for a Year of the City
Ladies' Relief Association.
Caring for Twenty-Seyen Families
and Relieving Others.
Sewing School Self Supporting
Money in Both Treasures.

This report was submitted by the
SECRETARY at the fourth annual meeting of
the Ladies' Relief Associ ltion Yesterday:
Mrs. President aud Members Of this
Association:-As we look back over the
work of another year, we feel certain of
the fact that we live in deeds not years,
in thoughts not breaths, and although
we may oftimes cast our bread upon
the waters" may just as often witness its
return.
We have upon our books a full corps Of
active members and a goodly number of
associates. and trust no one will retire
from the work the coming year, as the
outlook indicates the need of your hearty
cooperation
Since April, 1889, this association has
held twelve regular meetings, with an
average attendance of ten members, and
| consider the fact worthy of mention
taat the full executive committee has
been present at each meeting.
About the middle OF the year the
presidents chair was made vacant by
the resignation of Mrs. A. G. Adams,
who had served the society in different
capacities for upwards of three years; but
we we're very fortunate in securing the
services of Mrs. E. Z. Whipple immedi-
ately, and from her true Christian spirit
and efficient work done under her super
vision, we believe her TO be the right
woman in the right place.
Some twenty seven families have been
under the care Of the society during the
year while many private persons have re-
ceived aid and employment and as our
custom is Christmas greetings were sent
into the homes of upwards Of fifty families
from business men and others, in addition
to which the pupils Of the public schools
provided the same number with Thanks
giving dinner all of which was very thank.
fully received.
The liberal donations of our business
men coming in, as they did, so near the
close of the last year, have made il posi-
bic for US to bridge over this one without
making any special effort for money, and
we call attention 10 our treasurer ) report
for present statistics.
The sewing school. organized by the
society last year mas proved most %satisfac
tory. Its able superintendent, Mrs. o. +.
Cowick and assistants have left nothing
undone to make it attractive as well a.
useful and upward of seventy children
have been instructed in common sewing
and a little fancy work and in most cases
they retain the work done.
The school has become selfsupportiug
and as our population increases, bringing
to our city those with limited means as
well as the millionaire and quite as certain
some with none at all. it is the desire OF
the present executive committee to still
further extend our work in the way OF a
labor bureau and home for the friendless
and from the many instances nece s tat
ing these brought before US the past few
months these efforts wherever mad,
should receive the hearty support of thi
society as well as of every citizen of Chey
enne. Respectfully submitted.

A tired man of business was going home
ward on a street car the other evening, and,
moved perhaps by his fatigue and cares, said
20 a friend:
"The farmers are often supposed to be the
class OF all others in the general community
who have a hard time and little pleasure. l
think that a great error Of judgment on the
part OF those who study the condition of man
kind. We who live in cities may have more
amusement, and on the whole more comfort,
but we do not have the peace of mind that is
q farmers most valuable possession. They
have no cares like business men; they do not
lie awake at night thinking OF the business Of
the next day.
"a farmer has his daily work, and after
that is finished he is free until the next day.
They have hard work, with the ~accompani-
ments of pure air, refreshing and dreamless
sleep, and general Indifference TO everything
except the weather and the crops. No, In
deed; a business man may have pleasure,
amusement and many comforts, but mentally
and physically the majority of farmers have
an easier time. Columbus Dispatch.

GENUINE ACQUISITIONS
A KimbalI, Neb., Tribute to Ne
Residents of This CITY.

htsiututs vi W tltNs
The Kimball Observer has the follow
ing to say Of Mr.. and Mrs. Menges who
have recently moved here:
Mr.. aud Mrs. Menges left for Chev.
enne Friday to mlks that place their
home. Mr.. Menges came to Kimball,
her A~ntelopeville, in 1884, six years
ago. At that time there was only a sta
ton here, but through his untirlng efforts
the town has grown and been made a
county seat, the county has settled and
improved. A more public spirited and
generous man cannot be found. He has
always been found ready with work or
money to aid in improving the town and
such a man to a town or community is of
unestimated value, and his departure will
be regretted by the Kimball people in
good citizen and a leader in all public
county and the Kimball water power
and irrigation movements were
started and fostered by him. and
undaunted by one or two failures he
kept on until rewarded by success. Mrs.
Mepges has, also, been a valuable assist
ant in the church and Sunday school.
1t was due to her efforts that the first
Sunday school in Kimball was organized
and made a success, and she has always
been ready and willing to aid any good
work. In the departure of Mr.. Menges
and his estimable wife this place suffers
a loss that will be bard to replace, but
wherever they go the Kimball people ex-
tend to them their beat wishes for sue
cess, Mr.. Menges still has considerable
interests in Kimball, which he will retain.

The Union Pacific is just receiving a
number of sew engines ordered last fall
and sending them out on the road. They
are to be used principally on heavy freight
trains and a number are already in SER
vice between Cheyenne and Laramie.
They are what is known As ''ten-wheel
consolidated hogs" and numbered LOGO.
Another class. 1,400, two of which arrived
yesterday, will be assigned exclusively to
the passenger business. With these it is
said that an engineer can attain to a speed
of twenty-five miles an hour within the
length of his " train. The great
trouble experienced In making time on a
thirty-6ve or forty mile schedule is ex-
perienced in the stopping at and starting
from stations.
