Investigating Frauds,

TORONTO, July S.--A special agent of
the customs department is here investi-
eating a gigantic fraud of several years
Srowth. Nerlich & Company, of this
CITY, one of the oldest, largest and
hitherto most reputable tobacco firms in
Canada, are the offenders. Formerly
the government allowed importers of
Havana cigars to put the import labels
on the boxes, but several years ago with
drew the privilege and instructed its
officers to collect all the stamps in the
possession Of the importers. The collec-
tors overlooked Nerlich & Company,
and they have been nsing the stamps to
palm off domestic cigars as Havanas.
The fraud was SO successful that genu
inc importers had almost completely
been driven out of the market.

From Her European Tour.

Miss Winnie Davis Arrives ia New York
From Her European Tour.
NEW YORK, July 8.-Attired in a
dress of the deepest mourning, which
was nnrelieyed either at throat or
wrists, Miss Winnie Davis, eldest and
favorite daughter of the late jefferson
Davis, president of the Corfederacy,
landed from the French steamer La
Bretagne Sunday. Miss Davis, who was
appropriately called "the daughter of
the Confederacy,' for she was born
during the memorable struggle, has
been in Europe since her fathers death
recruiting her shattered health. and she
returns how to become the bride of Mr..
Alfred Wilkinson, Of Syracuse, N. Y.
Four years ago Miss Davis visited the
family of Dr. Thomas Emory, Of SYRIA
cuse. DIR. Emory was warm friend of
her father, both before and after the
war. At "a reception IN her honor she
met Mr.. Wilkinson, rising young law
yer, and they became fast friends. Mr..
Wilkinson spent several weeks in Miss
Davis company on the continent last
winter, and when he returned they were
engaged. Hardly had the gang plank
been raised to LIE Bretange Sunday
when two gentlemen passed on board.
The strongly built, handsome man of
perhaps % years, was Alfred Wilkinson
himself and with him was Mr.. w. l..
Davis, Miss Davis cousin. She waited
for them in the ladies' boudoir on the
upper deck She was rather pale after
the ocean voyage, but had evidently
gained in health.
81 have enjoyed the voyage fairly
we'll, she said. Il was III for two days,
but for the rest of the time | got along
very we'll"
On the pier were Mr.. Wilkinson's
brother and sister and several friends
from Beauvoir Miss, where the Davis
homestead is situated and where Mrs
jefferson Davis now waits her daugh-
ter's return.
Mr.. Wilkinson was as indisposed as
Miss Davis to speak of their approach
ing marriage, but he said it would not
be before September, and perhaps later.
No day has been set The wedding will
probably occur at the Davis home i'll
Beauvoir, and 1t will be entirely pri-
vate.
Miss Davis left for Beauvoir on the
midnight train Sunday night over the
Pennsylvania road.
Mr.. Wilkinson parted from her at the
depot, but Mr. Davis accompanied her
and her friends to Washington.

SAN Francisco, July 9.-The Chroni-
cal states that the Alaska Commercial
company, which until recently had the
exclusive right to capture seals in
American waters Of Behring sea, has
now secured contract with the Rus
sian government granting them the ex-
elusive right to capture seals on the
Siberian coast. The number Of seals to
be taken yearly is not known, but is be-
ieved to be very large.
The steamer Karluk, owned by the
company, has recently sailed for Pc
trofsky to capture seals there. The
competition of the Alaska Commercial
company will be very severe for the
North American Commercial company
which was recently awarded by the
United States the sealing privilege in
Behring sea, and it is believed the effect
will be to greatly reduce the price OF
sealskins,

King George WIN Abdieate In November.

LONDON, July 8.--A telegram from
Athens says that the King OF Greece has
decided to aDdicate in favor of the Duke
of Sparta in November. A similar re-
port has been in circulation several
times before, but this is said to be based
on authority which cannot be disputed.
1t was said at the time of the marriage
of the Duke Of Sparta to Princess
Sophia of Prussia, sister Of the kaiser,
that the early retirement of King
George i'll favor of his son was one of
the conditions, indeed the chief con
dition, of the emperor's consent to the
alliance. Although the crown prince is
of Russo Danish extraction, he is by

| WOULO-BE KILLER.
Dave Taylor, a Cook, on the War
path at Wendover.
Stole a Revolver and Tried to Muir
der the Owner.
His Iudicious Foresight Doubtless
Saved his Life.

Dave Taylor, a cook for the Al cattle
outfit, had his fighting clothes on at
Wendover Sunday. He thought that
Tom Eubauks, the well known %ranchman,
would make a good looking corpse and ex-
erted himself to carry out his murderous
plan. The quarrel, it Is said, started at
the card tible. Alter a warm argument
Taylor quietly visited Eubanks' room at
the hotel and armed himself with Toms
gun.
The bad man terrorized the little place
for an hour. No one else was heeled and
be was master of the situation. Eubanks
kept out Of the way while Others
tried to pacify the drunken man.
In the course of one OF
q series of war councils John Mcclure,
son Of the tivern keeper, was struck
across the face with the butt of the six
shooter hourished by johnson. He was
badly bruised. johnson fred several
shots, but no one was hit.
After a deal OF artful persuasion and
when the belligerant had somewhat
sobered he gave up the weapon and
trouble ceased.
II is very fortunate that Taylor secured
Eubanks' pistol. This judicious move
saved his life and he probably figured on
1t in advance. Eubanks is a peaceable
man and a good citizen, but he was forced
into a fight a year or two ago and had to
kill a neighbor.
Taylor was not arrested.

THE BALL
Directors Elected and the Movement
for n Strong Team Under way.

Nearly all the stock pledged for the
Cheyenne Base Ball Association was rep
resented at the meeting held in Change
hall last evening. Ex-Governor Baxter
presided and Chas. Erswell was secre-
tary.
The situation vas extensively dis
cussed and the conclusion reached that
Cheyenne must place a good team in the
field at once. Home players will be en-
listed and talent secured from abroad.
Among the new shop men are several
who would strengthen any amateur team
and others are coming. Letters have
been received from men in the East who
will come out and play ball if provided
with situations. The location Of grounds
was canvassed, but no decision made.
After the sense of the meeting had
been expressed all matters were referred
to the board of directors, who are M.ssrs.
Baxter, S~croggins, Meyer, Chase and
Towslee. They will organize at once.
The only positive instruction given was to
select a manager outside the directorate.
Messrs. Towslee, Rhodes and 7. Muir
ray were made a committee to secure fur
Their subscriptions of stock. The sum now
pledged is $500.

THE CENTRAL SCHOOL.
Cheyenne's Largest Public School De-
scrIbed by a Young Pupil.

Here is a contribution from a young
public school pupil, the son OF Union Pa
ciic Agent Sweet;
The Central school of this city is stu
ated on Twentieth street. between Cen
trail and Capitol avenues This building
is about leo feet front and IS feet in
depth, of brick with stone foundations.
Three wears & when the governor
appointed a day for planting trees, called
Arbor dav, each scholar brought 5 or 10
cents, which ever he or she desired. TO
help buy a tree. These we're planted
along the front fence, which greatly i'm
proved the appearance of the building.
The lawn in front is well worth speaking
Of. always having the best of care.
The rooms are heated by steam, which
is a great convenience.
Each room is provided with slate black.
boards and hard wood seats.
The ventilation of the building is not
what it ought to be. Sometimes it is i'm
possible to admit the required amount of
fresh air. One pupil will say: I'm
cold; can't we have the windows shut,
teacher2". Others will say they are too
warm. OF course the teacher will close
the windows. How can the building have
the proper ventilation with such a pecu
liar lot of boys aud girls2 1t is impossible.
Along in the early seventies, when
Cheyenne had a very small population,
many talked of building a public school
Others said that Cheyenne would only be
a temporary affair, and there was no use
in wasting money. After convincing the
opposition that Cheyenne wo1ld not be
temporary, they succeeded in providing a
cred't,ble building. In the course of six
months the structure was completed and
is the east wing of the Central building at
the present day.
In the year 1870 Mr.. NJ. A. Arnold
was elected superintendent, his wife as
sisling him. The four large rooms we're
not packed as they are nowadays, but
the small flock was anxious to learn.
In 1876 an addition was built on
which is now the center of the structure.
In the year 1881 the west wing was built
on, Since that time many improvements
have been mada.
