IN COURT AT GERING.
A Defendant Furnishes Cigars to
Judge and Jury.
Small Chance in That County for
Wyoming People.
Winking at the Bold Theft of Horses
From the Pc.

Foreman Lecompte, of the Pc, sent
Walt Laughlin, an employe. Ito GerinG.
Neb., to repleyin several colts stolen and
held by granger ~rustlers. Laughlin iden-
tilted and attached the property and a
civil trial BY jury was had. Sandy In
gram was the defendant and was attended
by Johnny Boyle and other heelers who
are known to be crooked.
The court proceeding were of the most
iarcial character. Ingram brought in a
box of cigars and treated judge, jurors
and witnesses. Everyone smoked and
spat at a box anchored in the center Of
the temple of justice.
All proceedings were marked by a lack
OF formality that would astonlsh the
v~eriest novice in legal matters in a well
regulated community. Ingram and his
friends addressed the Judge and jurors
and insisted on making corrections in the
testimony.
On the evening before the hearing the
defendant offered to wager $50 that he
would not lose the suit.
At one stage Johnny Boyle pounced on
LauRblln aud was reinforced by two
other roughs. Laughlin bested the trio.
When quiet was secured the judge in
quired as to the cause of the fracas.
LauRhlin had about given up and told his
honor that he had concluded to whip
every thief 10 GerinR and proposed DIS
posing of them in patches of three. The
contempt investigation stopped here.
A verdict for Ingram was promptly re
turned by the jury. though Pc owner
ship of the stock was plainly manifest.
The Pc people will carry the case to
the circuit court.
Gering Is a wild town off the railroad,
the capital of a new county. The farm

soil, but make a pretty good thing out OF
stealing horses and cattle from Wyoming

Coming.
Denver and Leadyills Shooters Vary En-
thusiastic.

The tournament Of the Rocky Noun
tain Sportsmens' Association. to be held
hers June II to 20, inclusive, promises to
be one OF the greatest sporting events
Cheyenne has known. Citizens have
subscribed 81, 400, which has been added
to the association prizes. The premiums
include gold and diamond badges, other
trophies and much merchandise.
Shooters and spectators will gather
daily at the fair grounds, near town. The
attendance will be not less than 300.

from New Mexico and Utah. Quite a
number of experts from the southern ter
riiory will face the traps, though a small
attendance from hat section was at first
expected. Ogden and Salt Lake will
send big delegations The Ogden team
will be one of the most dangerous on the
grounds, while Salt Lake boasts of some
crack shots.
At Denver H. NJ. Bostwick, a well
known shot, who has a sporting goods
house, told DR.. Holcombe that he would
leave his business for the first time in
nine years to attend the Cheyenne tourna-
ment. W. Y. Sudan, a prominent
shooter. said he had been attending local
meets through the state and that all the
clubs are figuring on sending men to this
place next month. Sudan has ordered
500 shells for his own use here, and adj
vises preparations for the accommoda-
ton Of 800 shooters, and he is a quite
conservative man.
The prizes hung up are liberal and acts
as a magnet to the experts, besides Chey
enne herself is attractive. All Wyoming
towns, and especially those along the rail
way lines, will contribute generously to
the attendance.

An Intelligent Course.

Cheyenne business men are moving in an
intelligent way in the matter Of obtain ng
an iron plant. The smelter committees
of the Board of Trade and Real Estate
Exchange held meeting on Tuesday eve
ming and decided to send east Mr.. G. G..
Coutaut to escort a company of capital
lists to Cheyenne, and also appointed
Messrs. j. q. Baird aud A. J. Parshall
as a committee to visit Pueblo to examine
and report upon the iron plants in that
manufacturing city. The movement thus
started is backed by public sentiment and
no reason exists why it should not succeed.
An iron smelter at Cheyenne would not
only be of immense advantage to Wyom-
ing but to the entire west. Colorado has
almost as large interests in seeing it es
tablished as has Wyoming, since the in
dustrial welfare of the two sections are
identical one with the other.

"A play that il intensely interesting,
strongly dramatic, AMI thoroughly
human" This is what is said of The
Gouerness. the domestic comedy drama in
which Efie Ellsler appears at the opera
house this evening. of this charming
actress the Boston Globe has the follow
ing to say;
Charming Efie Ellsler has found in
this play a character which her talents
especially fit her to portray. 1t is a role
which allows ample opportunity for a dis
play of those dainty, sprightly and pretty
ways so natural with the artistic, and
which so quickly captivate an audience
and never release their hold upon ones
sympathy. The story is a simple one,
and the characters people you meet every
day. Thorough naturalness pervades the
piece, and it is most %cleverly constructed.
The dialogue is delightfully."- written, and
possesses the charming novelty of coming
to an end before there is a chance of its
growing wearisome.
Miss Ellsler's acting was always natural
and charming. The audience was warmly
appreciative and the curtain was repeat
eddy raised after each act.

HIGH ROLLERS.
The Notable Wager oil a
Man and a Denver Sport.


At Denver Thursday John Chase, pro
prietor of the Inter Ocean, of this place,
laid the largest sum ever posted on a
horse race in the Colorado capital. He
bet Tom Collins, a sporting man, $4,000
that Badge would get a better place in
the Brooklyn handicap than Sir Dixon,
and the latter wasn't in it. while lit
tie Badge came laundering home on the
heels OF Castaway. the winner OF the no.
table event.
Mr.. Chase also had some Castaway
tickets and is said to have gone IS, 900 to
the good. He picked up Castaway much
as he did Elkwood on a similar occasion.
Tom Collins is one Of the luckiest gam
bling men in the country. He has won
thousands in the past few years inside and
out. The Denver fancy predicted that
Collins luck would best Chase's judgment
and were delighted when the result of
the race was announced.
Yesterdays Denver papers mention
the wager and compliment Mr.. Chase on
his judgment and nerve.

battle-ships and a triple scrrw steamer.
Nearly Sl5,ooo,0oo is appropriated for
their construction. Undoubtedly nickel
steel plates will be ordered for their

An opinion prevails that they will be
divided among several shipyards. The
Cramps, of Philadelphia, will get one or
two. The SCOTS, of the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco, will be reasona-
BILE sure of another, while some of the
Wilmington people will make strong

THREE NOTABLE DESCRIPTIONS.

The Conference report on the tariff
bill has been adopted in both Houses OF
Congress and now goes to the President
for his signature. Senator Carlislc's
criticisms of the bill were mastery
from the Democratic standpoint, though
its defense was in able hands.
But tho event which will draw most
attention was the desertion of the Re-
publican Senator'S, Plumb. Paddock and
Pettigrew. Representing the three great
States of Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota, which stretch OYER twelve hun:
dred miles OF territory north and south,
they have definitely broken away from
their party on great party issue.
Such assertions are never without
strong reasons, and those reasons are
usually. found in the attitude of their
constituents Whether they have gagged
the tempers of the II puhlcans OF
their States, vhich have with scarcely
a break been Republican from birth, will
be learned in November.
