vIDLER VS..
a Former cheyenne Man Causing a
IN Denver.

Rees c. Wider, who it will be remem
bered spent last summer in Cheyenne
working up a scheme to establish a pressed
brickmaking establishment, is playing a
star engagement 10 Denver at present
with J. r. Depew, one Of his friends, a
strong leading man. To a Republican re-
porter Mr., Dcpew said that he was held
up on the corner Of Seventeenth and
Arapahoe streets at l:3O O'Clock on Mon
day while the sun was shining and then
relieved OF s35 by three men, among
whom was R. c. Wider. The description
gwen these parties would class them
among pickpockets, but now Mr.. Wider
turns out to be vice president and secre
tary of the T~ranscontinetal Finance cor
poration, doing business at rooms i3 and
a. Bank block.
Mr.. Wider was arrested for assiultiDg
NJ. Depew, and nov the tables have been
turned and Mr.. Depew appears before a
justice Of the peace charged will assault
ing Mr. Wider with intent to kill. So
both Wider and Depew are like mixed
pickles just at present.
Mr.. Dtpew claimed that he did not
know this man Wider on Monday from
Adams of OK" but Mr.. Wider comes
back at him with a counter statement that
he and his adversary have had very init
mate business relations about a year ago;
IN fact, the Transcontinental mar had
made a Transatlantic trip, and while in
London he was trying to place a mining
property winch Mr.. Depew handled. He
had submitted plans Of the mine to Mr..
Wider, A dispute arose by mail over
these documents. and as written thought,
especially when the writer's are separated
by a stretch Of water, is productive OF a
freedom Of language both oopious and
elegant, Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Wider made
their pens say some biting things.
The merry war Of ink singing went on
and finally a seethinG point was reached.
and Mr.. YIdler wrote Mr.. DeDew that
when he crossed the blue Rubicou again
he would administer a chastisement which
the mine owner would not soon forget.
1t seems that on Monday Mr.. Wider
arrived in Denver aud net Mr.. Depew OF
Seventeenth and Arapahoe Immediately
he proceeded to carry out his threat and
beat Mr. Depew with a cane until that
gentleman was forced to use something to
protect his optics on the following day.
Then Mr.. Depew bad him arrested on a
charge of assault and robbery. Still smart
ing under the punishment administered,
Mr., Depeg met his man on Seventeenth
anG Curtis yesterday and attacked him
with a club, according to MIR. Wider.
Mr. Wider came out OF the melee with a
cash on his forehead, a bad nose and the
skin knocked off his arms in various
places. Mr., Wider, however, left his
mark on Mr.. Depew and finally had
that gentleman arrested for attempt to
kill.
Mr.. Wider said yesterday evening that
he had promised Depew a whipping, and
he had given it to HIN,
This is the position of the affair at pres
ent. Both parties are mad. and both will
fight, and their friends are taking a hand
in it. The affair may develop into a ieud
of Kentucky-like proportions.

old gentleman of perhaps sixty-fve
years, and the world has been made
better by the grand work in which the
declining years Of his life are being
spent. When interviewed by a reporter
he was reticent at first in speaking Of
the fruits Of his philanthropic labors in
the land by the frozen sea, saying that n
description Of the colony he had founded
would seem better coming from the lips
Of disinterested parties.
"Metlakahtla, " said the venerable mis-
sionary, ''is situated on an island in the

Of a city and government Of their own
and instilling in their minds the beauties
of n civilized existence, induced them to
migrate to the far north, where they
would live in peace and security and
where they would not be- disturbed in
their peaceful possessions.
To-day there is a city Of 800 souls at
M~etlakahtla, and the settlement is a
hourishlng and happy one. l am one OF
those who reject the declaration that the

might say that the Indians have an ave

corner lots, so that l was compelled to
divide the blocks each into four lots.
Everybody is satisfied, for an inside lot
is not to be found there.
The inhabitants live by hunting and
fishing, but the latter occupation has

oil our colony than to dwell upon its
merits myself. Should you visit our
island you would be surprised to find a

two exceptions. We have a government
which is an Indian council presided over
by an Indian chief. The young ones are

In olden days the Indian tribes were
envious of each other, and feuds were
incessant and war was a business. In
our colony the Ratchet is buried out Of
sight, the tribal jealousies are forgotten
in the educated life and the weapons of
war have been nodded into implements
of peace.

not care to drive him out, and there

call 'cats' The dog would then rush
to the window and bark, and the old
lady would take possession of the
chair. One day the dog entered the
room and found the old lady in pos

NEW wonIu's WONDERS.
FabIcd seven Chrown intO Obscuri
" ia Comparison

Compared with the seven wonders
of the world classified by the anoieuts
there are seven times seven wonders
now. The tabled Colossus Of Rhodes
the Alexandrian lighthouse, the hang
ing gardens OF Babylon, sink into In
significance beside the achievements
of modern times. The Colossus Of
Rhodes was, IN all probability, a
myth, while the Bartholdi statue is
an accomplished fact, and undoubt-
edIy equal in point of achievement
to any of the seven wonders of the
ancients, not even excepting the
pyramids.
As matter of fact, tho real won
ders of the world, albeit they have
ceased for the most part to be won
dsrs by reason of familiarity, repre-
sent inventions rather than engineer
ing and architectural skill; the rail
way, the steamboat, the photograph
the telescope and the self-binding
reaper are in themselver wonders o
which the Egyptians and the Greeks
never dreamed. But in the line o
engineering skill, which was the mos
prominent feature OF the origina
seven wonders, there are so many
proud triumphs that it is by no means
an easy matter to name the foremos

CATION was rendered uncertain and
dangerous, and millions OF dollars ex-
pended in dredging brought no prac-
tical results. The river could beat
the United States government in
contest waged on that line.
Then came Capt. Eads with prop
,sitlon to gather tho willows along
the shores, make them into crates or
mattresses, fill them with mud and
gravel, place them in parallel lines
where a channel was wanted, and set
the river to do its own digging by
aeans of quickened current. That
was the basis of the jetty system,
which has more than doubled the
depth of the channel at the mouth of
the most important river on the globe.
The waters continued to deposit
sand and gravel between the jetties
and shores, the willows sprouted and
grew, and thus solid banks of earth
were formed and protected by trees.
1t is only necessary to extend the
line of willow baskets from time to
time as occasion demands in order to
carry the channel still further into
the gulf. The jetty system is grand
triumph of simplicity, but fairly en-
titled by reason of the results OBJ
tanned to be reckoned among the
leading seven wonders of the world

THE MODERN LIST.

The list comprises the Forth bridge,
in Scotland; New York's under
ground aqueduct, which Is thirty
miles long, on an average 100 feet
underground, aud cut through rock
the Eiffel tower; tho Brooklyn bridge;
the St. Gothard tunnel, between
Switzerland and Italy, begun at Il
height Of 1910 feet, and cut for nine
and one-half miles through tho sohd
rock; the improvements at He'll Gate,
and the jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi. 1t is oasy to tako ex-
ceptions to this list.
Thore are probably few intelligent
people who will not dispute the
claims Of some one or other of these
achievements. The Eiffel tower, for
example, lofty as it is, should scarce
ly be permitted to crowd out tho
Suez canal, and the engineering feat
of removing the distractions at He'll
Gate is hardly to be compared with
tho building Of the Pacific railroads
The Siberian railroad also is entitled
to dispute the claim Of some of the
wonders in the list, while the Barthol-
d. statue is scarcely to be crowded
out, not only Tor its colossal proper
tons, but by reason of the skill re-
quired to produce the results aimed
at There are several cGntilever
bridges also, some one Of which is
likely to suggest itself to engineers
as having good grounds for disputing
the place in the list Of seven.
To many unfamiIior with the prob.
lem to DO solved it may seem as if the
jetties of the Mississippi were hardly
entitled to a place in thu list There
are no mighty buttresses Of stone, no
marvellous structures by human hands
to arrest attantion-only lines Of
willow basket work, filled with mud
aud gravel and sunk in the river
channel. But We see what has been
accomplished by such simple means
by the genius of Capt. Eads.
SIMPLE But WONDERFUL.
Here is the problem: A river
necessary to the inland commerce of
a continent, whose waters continually
bear vast quantities of sand and gray
ell toward the sea. A cubic mile Of
solid earth, it has been estimated, is
thus borne down by the Mississippi
every year. When tho stream met
the waters of the gulf tho current was
checked by the inaowing tides, andI
a great burden Of earthly matter was
