EXTREMELY PLEASING.
Faust" by the Emma Iuch English
Opera Company.
A Brilliant Audience and a Grand
Performance.
Wild Ride in a Special Train from
Green River.

Yesterday forenoon and engaged public
attention from the fact that the organlza
ton was billed to appear at the Cheyenne
theater last evening. Happily this rumor
was untrue, though there had been an
accident which affected the opera com
pany,
A west bound freight train parted a
mile west of Green River yesterday morn
ing at 5:l5, and the head half collided
with the east bound passenger, behind
which was the Juch special. Two en-
zines and several cars were derailed. The
only person injured was Brakeman J. A.
Malone, who jumped from the caboose of
the broken train, Featuring his right leg
in two places.
Here was a pretty how de do. A biz
wreck Gcross the path of a train con
tracted to be in Cheyenne in time for its
load to give a performance at the opera
house. Travelling Passenger Agent In
gals was aboard. and by tall h%ustling
secured men and material to build a tenn
porarY track around the ruins, and the
special of the great artistic was thus
set Alright.
Miss Juch's train of five cars left
Green River at 1910 and brought up in
front of the big Cheyenne depot nine
hours and twenty and a half minutes
later, throwing the remarkable perform
ance OF the thuuderbolt fast mail COM
pletely in the shade and making perhaps
the best run ever accomplished over this
portion of the road.
Behind the scenes last evening the
sweet star and Director Locke told THE
LEADER reporter that they had a wild
ride but rather enjoyed it. Miss Juch is
a brave little woman. She said that her
self and the other ladies were at time
slightly nervous, but that confidence in
the road management allayed their fears
and that they even wished for more speed.
Great credit is due the engineer, trainmcn
and dispatchers for their feat IN fast run
ming.
The moving was between Laramie and
this place. Allen was conductor and
McHugh and Reals engineers to the top
Of the hill. McHugh went back to Lara
mic from Sherman and Reals made the
passengers think the train was dropping
down a well from the summit to Chey-
enne. The slightest accident during this
wild dash would have sent 100 people
down to death in an instant.
An enormous crowd was at the depot
an hour before the train came in. The
headlight was sighted beyound the
junction. From this station in better than
a nile a minute was made. A train never
before came over that bit of road SO
quickly. The time from Laramie to Chey'
enne was an hour and thirty-fiye minutes.
An audience that will wait until 1890
for a curtain to rise is compose | OF people
who can appreciate the performance. Two
of the three sections in the parquet were
flle1, nearly every seat in the dress circle
was occupied and a few more than 200
balcony tickets were sold. About fifty
ladies' we're up stairs. The attendants
