A QUEER BLOCKADE.
Impossible Sand Drifts on the
Cheyenne & Burlington.
Passenger Train Abandoned 100
Miles East of Town.
Freight Trains Held at Sidings on
Account of the Wind.

After a continuous blow of thirty-six
hours, the wind last evening subsidized,
and it is hoped that the storm is ended,
but no one can tell as to hat. 1t is safe
to remark, however. that the breezy sea-
son is about over and that calm days will
be the rule until next March.
This weeks wind has been steady,
pretty strong and quite vicious. Its
worst work has been the settling Of a
blockade on the Cheyenne & Burlington.

the Burlington track is for several hun
bred yards covered with drifts of sand
and dust from eight inches TO three feet
in depth. Snow plows were brought out.
but were found ineffective, and section
gangs were summoned from either side Of
the blockade and set upon the unusual
drifts with shovels. 1t is expected tLat
the blockade will be raised sometime this
forenoon and that section of the line will
be fitted out to Withstand dust storms.
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning every
freight train between Laramie and Raw
Inns sidetracked to await the pleasure Of
the gale. Iu. crossing elevations there
was likelihood of trains being lifted from
the rails. and if remaining on the track
the fight against the mighty head wind
was an almost hopeless struggle.
The company water tank at O'Fallon
station. east of Cheyenne, was blown
down yesterday morning. A crew was at
once dispatched to the scene to repair the
damage
There was held at Kimball. Neb., for
FIVE hours yesterday forenoon a train of
California fast freight. These trains are
scheduled to passenger time. but in the

When he first came to London Max
O'Rell took a little house in a retired
quarter of the city. About 2 o'clock one
morning the whole neighborhood was
aroused by cries in the street; somebody
was shouting at the top of his voice:
Murder! Fire! Thievesl' and this hub
bub was protracted until everybody in
the locality was at his window in a state
of violent alarm. 1t was Max O'Rell,
who. returning home at this unholy hour
and finding himself locked out, took this
way of %arousing his servants. Finally,
standing in the middle of the street, the
cynosure of all eyes, O'Rell lifted his hat,
and, bowling politely this way and that,
said: Thanks, good neighbors, for your
friendly solicitude; having awakened the
concierge, | will now enter my home"

that thing in just that way?-Eugene

maker, was the membership of a party
arriving from Salt Lake Yesterday morn

will appear in the grand sparring exhibi.
ton to be given at Kaefe h Ill this even
ing.
Jack McAulife is the champion light
weight of the world. carrying the Rich
ard X. Fox belt, which was on exhibition
at Harry Hynds Capitol yesterday. He
is a handsome lad and a quite blan smile
continually plays over his broad face. He
is a rich but tasty dresser aud an agreeable
conversationalist, refraining from shop talk
and discussing current topics with intelli-
gence. McAuliffe looks more like a gen
teel young EnQlishm1n taking in the wild
west than a fighter signing for more
bloody combits. His belt, the trophy of
a dozen desperate matches. is a massive
affair, solid silver, set with diam )nds,
emeralds and rubies.
Joe McAuliffe is called the San Fran
cisco giant. He is the biggest man in
Cheyenne today AMI one of the best look
ing. Like all men Of his mould he is of
sunny disposition, but they say the very
devil shines from his eyes when be reaches
for an opponent. Half a hundred coast
sports of wealth are anxious to back Nc.
Auliffe against Sullivan. 1t was the big
fellow who easily whipped Pat Killen in
seven rounds. Additional interest at
taches to his appearance this evening
from the fact that John Marks. a Fort
Russell amateur, will undertake to spar
four rounds with him without being sent
to grass. Marks is quite an athlete and
very clever with his fists. This will be in
no sense a fight, but a scientific splrring
bout. If Marks is kno,kel dow he will
not be hurt, and if he keeps his base he
gets 800.
Billy Madden, the manager, has served
Sullivan and Mitchell in the same cipa-
city. having brought the latter to America.
Madden was Tor a long time champion

successive bare-knuckle contests and in
Leadville ten years ago stopped five men

An American has arrived in this city
from Guanajuata, where he was during
a rain of ashes that fell in that city. The
peculiar phenomenon, according to a
statement made to a reporter, began at
about 1920 o'clock in the morning, when
ashes started to fall from q cloudless
sky, and when there vas no wind pre-
vailing near the earth. The lower class
es were badly frightened, thinking that
the strange phenomenon was the pre-
cursor of some dire event. The churches
were sought by them. where they Offered
up prayers to the Creator to save them
from destruction.
At times the fall of the gray material
from the sky VAS very thick, resembling
materially u snowstorm. The buildings.
streets. trees and people were covered
with ashes at the conclusion of the pecu-
liar storm. The ash storm was very
general in the state of Guanajuata. 1t is
the general opinion that the ashes were
waited by Il northeasterly current Of air
across hundreds of miles OF country from
the active crater of the Columa volcano.

Horses showed In.

The Dixon correspondent of the Sara
toga Lure says that the stockmen of that
locality are out in the hills looking for
their horses, dead aud dying. 1t has
been a habi, with them for the past two
or three years to take horses to Battle
mountain and the Upper Snake aud
Slavery hills to winter. an account OF
there being more grass than on
the lower valley ranges; but This
winter this mode proved about the
worst thing that could have been dode,
owing to the deep snow. Some Of the
poor brutes were showed in on little ridges
fifty yards long, and the snow SO deep
around them that they could not get out.
A good many have been found that
starved to death. and a few have been
found so near gon that they died soon
after being taken out. There are a few
more around Battle mountain and meu
are carving hay to them on their backs.

of rather striking appearance
caught her eye. He represented
himself to be a single man and
a resident of Wyoming, and said that
he owned a large number of cattle ranches.
With her it was an instance of love at first

They stayed in Denver several months,
where it is safe to presume they lived as
man and wife. Finally C~ulpepper, fn-
ishing his business. took the lady and
started as she supposed for Chicago via
Sioux City. Arriving at the latter place
he left her in the sleeping car, saying he

THE coR9lcAN VENDETTA.


The c lstom That Has Often ExtInguIshed

Should n Corsican, in revenge for in
jury lone to himself or his relations, or
even TO his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup de fusil, public sym
pnthy sustains him, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and justice, in the
shape of gendarmes, wiuks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very I'M
popular. True, he is termed a bandit"
and has to take refuge in the macqui. as
the natural bush is called that clothes
tine mountain sides. Well informed Cor
sican8 tell one that there are at this mo-
meut in the island over one thousand in
hiding.
But please understand the bandit is no
brigand. Should you, defenseless. hap
pen to fall in with him, he will not take
your purse, but, on the contrary, offer
you food, if he has it, and shelter in his
cave. and most probably refuse any pay
ment for his hospitality. 1t is only his
foes family against which he wages war,
and of course in self defense with the
gendarmes. These latter he will shoot

dents aver, you can find n man who will
do your killing for you and rid you OF
your enemy with knife or bullet. And
while this utter contempt for human
life prevails there can be nc hope of the
extinction of the vendetta.
An English gentleman, Capt. c.. who
has now lived for some ten or fifteen
years in Corsica, on his own property,
told me the following story: 1T seems
that one of the employees of the former
proprietor, f%ancying he had some grudgC

Capt. q. happened to mention the fact
of the mans enmity, and deplored it as
unreasonable both to a Corsican gentle.
man, a neighboring proprietor, and also
to a shepherd with whom he was on
friendly terms.
Let me know if it continues" said
the gentleman, "and l will have the
man taken owe to yonder rocks and you
wont hear of him again"
Il will arrange for a little coup de
fusil whenever you like to give me the
Office" said the berger.
This was fifteen years ago, but even
o it is said there is in Ajaccio alone at
least one murder a week, though these
outrages are so hushel up by the author
tiles that it is difficult to get any reliable
statistics. l never, for instance, saw the
account of any murder in the little local
French paper lie Raillement, the only
one, l think, in Ajaccio, but this proves
nothing, for there vas undoubtedly one
atrocious crime committed in the village
of Bocognano, about twenty miles of,
while we were at Ajaccio, for particulars
of which | vainly studied the columns of
lie Raillement.-New York Times.

Experience shows that chance, or
what we call chance, is the most active
agent in choosing a profession, though
this should not prevent the young man
from faithfully considering what he is
going to do. In very many cases he will
find that he has mistaken his calling;
but he has not for this reason necessarily
wasted his time in seeking what proved
not to be available to him. He has been
adding to his knowledge and his expe-
rience enables him to act more wisely in
the future. He has developed his pow
ers to a greater extent, and thus discov-
