A STRONG DENIAL.
MIR. c. c. Wrisnt Has His Say About a
Dirty Libel.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Aug. 4, lse0.-To
tie Pscpleef Wyomino. In the Cheyenne
Daiy Sun of August i there appeared
q special dispatch from Casper stating
that | had been called upon by the county
Democratic central committee to account
for $4So received by me as chairman
OF the county Democrats central com
mittse from a Democratic senatorial as.
pirant and the territorial Democratic
committee. and that l was unable to do SO.
While to the citizens of Natroua
county and to people who are acquainted
with me l deem it scarcely necessary to
make any statement in reference thereto,
L cannot, in justice to myself, my friends
and the Democratic party, pass it by with
out a s~uccinct and emphatic denial.
The charges contained in the article are
utterly false and without a shadow OF
foundation, with one exception, namely:
The statement that I resigned my posi-.
ton as chairman of said committee; the
reason for the resignation being as stated
in my written resignation. that | would
necessarily be absent from the county
about two weeks on legal business, and
that l thought it best that someone be
appointed to act in my absence; that there
may be no mistake about what l mean, L
desire to state that at the meeting of the
central committee referred to, which was
the only meeting of said committee since
April. no question about the funds of the
central committee or any other funds was
raised, and no word was spoken in refer
ence thereto; hat Immediately after the
April campaign all my accounts as chair
man of the central committee were ex-
amined and approved by John McGrath,
county treasurer, w. ". Joycox, sheriff,
and George Mitchell. deputy clerk of the
courts, they being all the persons who had
contributed to said fund, except Isaac N.
Speer, who lives fifty miles from Casper
and could not be present. and that said
accounts have always been open to the in
spection of any member of the central
committee.
l never at any time, either before OF
since the said campaign, received from
any person or persons outside of Natrons
county any sum or sums of money as
chairman of said central committee or in.
diyidually for CAMPAIGN purposes, neither
have | received any communication Of
any kind in reference thereto. l desire to
repeat that there is not a shadow Of
foundation for any of the statements con.
~tained:in the dispatch to the Sun, nor in
the article in the Casper Mail of August
LIST, on the same subject, except that |
have resigned the chairmanship of said
committee. The charge in said articles
is false, and a deliberate and malicious
libel, published with intent to blacken my
personal character and cast discredit upon
the party to which l am proud to belong.
= propose to hold the publishers of said
libel crimiDally responsible in the courts
Of the state. Respectfully,
c. @. WRIGHT.

TRIED TO FIRE A HOUSE.
The Devlish Work Of a vindictive
Tramp on Sunday Night.
He Attempted Twice to Burn the
Cahill Residence,
And the Wretch was Generously
Fed by a Charitable Lady.

On two occasions Sunday night some
wretch attempted to fire the residence of
Mrs. Thomas j. Cahill, at Eddy and
T~wenty-ffth. Heavy painting on the fine
house was all that saved it.
During Saturday afternoon a tramp
called at Mrs. Cahilrs and detailed a woe
ful yarn of misfortune and starvation. He
said he was half famished, and did look
hungry. he was given a quantity of
food. and when about completing his re-
past, called for something else. Mrs.
Cahill thought the guest scarcely entitled
to dessert, and told him as much. AS the
fellow turned 20 20 he muttered something
which was not understood, but appeared
thoroughly enraged and shot @ glance OF
hatred and resentment at the kind lady
who had fed him.
1t is pretty certain that this tramp is
the individual who tried to burn the Ca
hills out of house and home, with the
contingency and probable intent of adding
murder to the crime of arson. 1t is al
most impossible to conceive a human be-
ing SO wickedly vindictiye, so far removed
from any sense OF gratitude. The fellow
must be utterly devoid of anything akin
to manhood.
The incendiary's two attempts to fire
the residence were determined and we'll
planned. In each instance he secured a
quantity of chips and small wood. poured
kerosene over the lot and kindled the fire
against a wall of the frame house. Both
times the starter burned itself away with
out communicating the small flames to the
building where they might grow and de-
stroy.
Work of the tramp was o discovered
until yesterday morning, when it was
viewed by a number of neighbors and
others. Mrs. Cahill and family heard
the dogs barking about the premises dur
ing the night, but Of course did not sus-
pect that the william befriended during the
day was trying in such a frightful fashion
to satisfy malice engendered by a fancied
slight.

LIKE $40 GOLD PIECES.
What a Prospector Says of the
Rich Strike Near Lander.
The Official Report as Made to ex.
Senator Tabor.
Specimens Have Assayed as High
as $I00, 900 to the Ton.

Some time ago a Geographic account OF
a big gold find at Atlantic City, Wyo.,
near Lander. was published in the Den
yer Republican, says that paper. In the
account it was stated that a Denver gen.
t,eman had secured a bond on the prop
erty for 5000. The gentleman is Hon.
l.. s. Cornell, who has since associated
with him j. Fl. Matthews and Senator
Tabor, the former two holding the origi-
nal bond.
A man was sent to investigate the
property and returned with his report
Friday.
He states that the mine is more han
was ever told Of it. There is a vein ly-
ing close to the surface Of the ground,
which was tapped in a number OF places
for a distance of $50 feet. 1t all carries
the same class of mineral that was first
discovered, and is very rich, some of the
specimens asSaying 800, 900 to the ton.
This Is not an average by any means,
but the ore SO far found will run not
less than 81, 500 to the ton. OF some
Of the ore the p~rospector says that
You might as well assay $40 gold
pieces"
The mineral is similar to that which
caused the great California excitement,
and is causing the same excitement at
Atlantic City. Though little has been
said about it through the newspapers, YET
people are already beginning to flock
there.
Owing to the close proximity of the
ore body to the surface it Is possible thai
it will not be necessary to run a tunnel,
but that a trench can be dug and the orr
lifted to the surface.
The depth of the ore has not beer
ascertained. but so deep as it has beer
tapped from the surface it has been found
to be OF the same character; If there is
any difference, it being richer.

The Illustrated edItion of THE CHEY-
ENNE LEADER has reached us and we
we see theoefrom that Cheyenne is on the
boom. The edition is a credit to Wyo-
ming and would do any journal in the
country proud. THE LEADER is run by
two Pennsylvanians who hail from Potts
vile. John f. Carroll, the editor, started
his journalistic career in the Office of the
Pottsville Chronicle and j. A. Breckons,
the business manager, also graduated
from the same office, if we mistake not.
The issue contains twelve pages, pro
fusely illustrated and is highly ornate In
its general get. up. The information to
be CLEANED therefrom as to the growth of
Cheyenne and of Wyoming is
sufficient to convince anyone that the
present boom of the baby state must con-
tinue for many years. "

One great drawback that Carbon has
always had to contend with, says the
Rawlins Republican, has been the water
question, all the water used being hauled
IN by the railroad company in tanks. This
difficulty, however, will soon be overcome
and the town will be supplied with a good
flow of water. The railroad company has
had their well gang at work there on a
well ever since the first of June. They
bored a hole 734 feet deep, and at that
depth abandoned it. Several strong veins
OF water were passed through, but none
of them we're fit for any kind ofuse. They
now intend to pipe the water from No. 5
Mine, which has been abandoned, and
where a large supply OF excellent water is
found, over the hill to the town. This
will give them plenty of good water and
save them from any more destructive fires.

inclusive. The committee on transporta-

Official Route, an easy one, as a com

Burlington Route offered the best accom-
modations, and it was selected according
w.. For this occasion, the Burlington

round trip tickets via any OF tie direct
lines, at the lowest one way first-class
limited rate. Tickets are good leaving
Boston August IL to 20, and may be ex-
tended to Sept. 80. A special train will
leave Omaha 9:l0 D. IN. Aug. s, via the
Burlington with through sleepers for
Boston. Comrades should leave Chey-

One Of the Big Gun of the Brake,
mens' Brotherhood in the City.

Tim Slatterly, a well seasoned youns
man who is one Of the biggest guns II
the Brakesmens' Brotherhood, is in the
city on a mission of no especial conse-
quence to the public. Slatterly is the
head and front of the Brotherhood in
the West. He has the entire confidence
OF the men and the respect of the com
pany- The companies recognize in him
an intelligent, fair-minded representative
of organized labor.
Slatterly was a long time in charge of
the Union Pacific wards at Butte, proba.
bly, the most extensive on the system.
The switchmen run things to suit them
selves up there, being reputed more indie
pendent and combative than their fellows
at Denver. At any rate it is SAID that
whenever a traveller struck Slatterly for a
place he was referred to the men with the
information that his services might be ac.
ceptable If bis engagement did not meet
with the objection of some crew. And
they say further that the applicant was
promptly rejected unless he wore box
toed boots, had two inch braid trimming
IN his clothes and could show broken
hands or less than the regulation number
of fingers. Things have changed some
since then. but the switchmen are still a
privileged class, and rightly, too, for its a
dull day in a big yard when a s~Witchman
or two isn't killed or manned. They
have the best of it, for when they stop
work 1t paralyzes a railway from end to
end.

Sundays ball gam was a contest of
which neither team and few individual
participants could consistently be very

wRErCHED BALL PLAYING,

Yale Easily Defeats Lafayette, but
without Great Deal OF Cfedit-The
Scsrc-Tickets ON Sale for she Prince
ton Game-A Special Train If Names
Enough be Obtained.
Yale 10, Lafayette 4, was the final score of
the game at the Yale field yesterday, and 1t
was one of the worst exhibitions of ball play
ing seen on those grounds this seaeon. The
representatives from Pennsy lvania made or
rors more like high school nine, and their
team work was not mnch better. As for
Yale, her part of the performance was by NO
means perfect. To be sure Stage was not in
the box nor Owsley at third, but that was
hardly excusable for nine errors. She will
have to take q decided brace in order to de-
feat Princeton. Yale found no difficulty In
hitting Baxter, who kept the hits pretty
we'll down in the recent game between
Harvard and Lafayette. There were four
teen hits, with total of twenty Eve, made
off from him. Calhoun and Mcbride both
made home runs. each driving the ball over
in the left field corner of the running track.
The prettiest feature of the game was q
double play made in the seventh inning by
Bowers, Poole and Mcbride when the bases
were filled. The attendance was very small,
about one hundred in the grand stand and
half dozen In carriages. The SCORE IL as fol-
lows:
