That there is much activity in real es-
ate circles, and that investors are conf
dent of Cheyenne's future, is no better
manifested than by the busy scenes wit
messed from day to day in the real estate
offices. Messrs. Russell Tracy and al.
Chapman's office on Ferguson street pre-
serted a very lively aspect during the
greater part of Yesterday, it being the oc-
casion for closing up the sales and trans

Mr.. Tracy with parties during his recent
Eastern trip. To a reporter of this paper
Mr.. Tracy expressed himself as being
highly delighted with his experiences
East and especially with the substantial
results as shown by the sales made by
him during his absence. Nor was the
local business neglected by Mr.. Chapman.

ORDER FOR ARREST.
1t Will be Served Today by Sheriff
Martin.
Morton E. Post, the ex-Banker,
Will be the Victim.
Col Sitter Brings a Civil Action
Against Him
To Recover the Amount of His
Bank Deposit.
The Order Issued at a Late Hour
Last Evening.

Morton Il. Post, the ex-banker of
Cheyenne, now a resident of Ogden,
Utah, will be arrested this morning. He
arrived in town from the west yesterday.
A complaint against him was yesterday
filed in the district court by Col. Frank
A. Sitter. 1t is a civil action based
upon section 2s4O of the revised statutes,
which reads as follows:
An order for the arrest of the defend
ant shall be made by the clerk of the
court in which the action is brought when
there is fled in his Office an affidavit Of
the plaintiff, his authorized agent or at
torney, made before a Judge or clerk of
any cour in the territory, or a justice Of
the peace, stating the nature of the plain
tiff claim, that it is just, and the amount
thereof, as nearly as may be, aud estab-
fishing one or more of the following par
~ticulars:
The fifth allegation under this section
is the one under which this suit is brought.
It reads as folloYs;
That he fraudulently contracted the
debt, or incurred the obligation. for which
suit is about to be or has been brought.
Col. Sitter was one OF the many Post
depositors. On the Saturday afternoon
previous to the Monday on which the
notice was posted up Col. Sitter de-
posted in the bank 5000. 1t IS for the
recovery of this amount that he now
brings the civil action.
The order for arrest was issued last
evening BY District Clerk Atkinson to
Sheriff Martin, but it is understood that
the arrest will not be made until this
morning.
The case may thus open up some very
interesting new developments in the now
celebrated Post bank failure.

November 81, a day of Thanksgiving.
On that day all have been advised to cease

for in the blessings conferred upon our
young commonwealth during the year Just

hut one drawback lust at present.
We are short on coal. Still. we are
happy, for our coal merchants have
promised us an unlimited supply
this week and our turkeys will be
well cooked. and the sun, which always
shines in Wyoming, will reflect its bril-
liant rays upon the faces of Cheyenne's
citizens and all will be joyful and content
What more can a woman or child de-
sire2 There is one thing more. On the
night OF Thanksgiving Wyoming Typo
graphical Union No. 1S4 give their eighth
annual masquerade ball at Keefe hall.
A splendid programme has been arranged,
the best music the city affords ENGAGED
that the Union Pacific band, you all

done to make this ball the ball Of balls.
So as a fitting finish TO this glorious day

July 81, 1889, a petition was filed by
Campbell l. Stoll, attorneys for james A.
Weed, Edward A. Bowers and others
against Morton Il. Post and against his
assignees, Francis E. Warren and A. j.
Parshall. The petition asked that the
assignment be set aside and that a judg-
ment be issued against the property OF
Morton E. Post in favor of the plaintiffs.
Among the reasons given in the appli-
cation for setting aside the assignment
were the following: .
First. Because Morton +. Post at the
time he made the assignment was not an
insolvent debtor but was able from his
means to pay his debts.
Second. He assigned more property
than was necessary or sufficient to paw his
debts.
Third. Because the assignment was
not accompanied by change of possession
of the assigned property.
Fourth. Because in the inventory OF
liabilities filed by Morton f. Post there
were fraudulent GLAZING.
Fifth. Because Morton Z. Post made
of Charles Manta a preferred creditor.
Sixth. Because Morton E. Post did
not make a full and true inventory of the

EXPLOSION and Fire on the Tioga,

CHICAGO, July ia frightful explosion
occurred tonight on the steamer Tioga, one
of the largest vessels on the great lakes.
Thirty eight people were aboard the
steamer at the time. When the work of
rescuing the survivors ended, which com
meucel almost instantly, only two persons
could be found who escaped unhurJ. To make
the matter worse, fire broke out on the
wrecked vessel, and huge volumes OF
flame and smoke impeded the searchers for
the dead and dying. The bursting of the
steamers boilers was the cause of the
catastrophe. 1t was in the Chicago river
at the foot of Washington street
that the explosion occurred.
There must have oeen from twelve to fiji
teen men killet, and probably half a dozen
additional wounded. These were laborers
| in the hold. Most of the victims were
| Chicagoans, stevedores who were unload
| ing the vessel. Only three of the TiOga' S
crew were reported GA the list. II was
| said that 200 barrels of oil were
among the cargo and that these had become
tignited. Otlers insisted that the explosion
was due to q lack of water in the boilers
and the second engineer, who is known &c
be missing, was the man whose duty il
would be to start the pony pumbs in such
an emergency. This it is declared, woult
have produced JUST such an explosion

jumped on board, and at that moment the
accident occurred The outer end of the
bridge went down suddenly and the
terror stricken crowd slipped of into
the harbor as though they were on
slide, piiing on top of each other, skrieklng
for help and scrambling for safety. For
some moments it was u confused mass OIL
men, women and children struggling IN
the water but the accident had hardly hap
peneu before a dozen men leaped TO the
rescue of the drowning people who were
rapidly passed up to men standing above
on the wharves and the rapidity with
which the rescuers performed their work
resulted in a great majority OF those VINO
fell in being saved from death.
When tue crowd slipped off the landing

hundred, crowded TO thesides of the wharf

The Dioceses of Omaha and Cheyenne.

OMAHA, Neb., July IL Special telegram
to THE HERALD. The announcement Of
the consolidation of the dioceses of Omaha
and Cheyenne and the appointment of
Bishop Bourke to take charge of the new
diocese was, it seems, little premature.
A telegram from Rome to the Western
Waterman, ST. Louis, says: "The news re-
garding Omaha and Cheyenne was some
what premature. The state of the case, as
have found out from incontestable au-
thority, is that the project of rejoining
Omaha and Cheyenne under Bishop
Bourke was laid before the congregation
of the propaganda on the day that L called,
and at the hour of calling they were still in
congress. There was no doubt as to
whether the matter would be approved and
submitted to the holy father for his ap-
proval on the following Sunday, the day
before the secret consistory sat, an invari-
able custom, but it appeared that at the
last moment the cardinal perfect of the
propaganda considered it wiser, for some
reason or other, to send the matter back
again to the bishops of the province of ST.
Louis before submitting it to the holy
father"
1t is probable that Archbishop Kendrfck
will call meeting of the bishops of the
province in the near future and three
more names be sent to Rome. 1t is likely
the new list will be the same as before.
