have a well authenticated report Of his
death go East, his will accepted by the
courts and his separation from his wife
secured: and be still live.
Many Of them now believs with many
people 10 the East that Hamilton Is alive
and that the body found in Snake uver
was a corpse from some dissecting room
taken by DR. Green to the Sergeant ranch,
dressed in Hamilton's clothes and
tumbled into the river where 1t could
readily be found. while during the six days
which interviewed before its discovery
Hamilton got well out of the country.
Mr.. Cooper says this could all have
readily been done and from the peculiar
manner in which Hamilton's friends have
acted he is partly convinced that it was a
c~leverly carried out scheme to establish
evidence OF the death Of a man who was
actually alive. Hamilton's will disposed
of but a small amount of money, while he
was known to be quite wealthy and it is
surmised that if he is alive he has quite
the greater part Of his fortune with him.
Mr.. Cooper says the body could easily
be taken East and given decent burial and
yet the relatives of Hamilton although
they have gone to the expense of sending
two parties to the ranch to get testimony
to confirm the report of the death have
not made any effort to take the bod, East
where, as suggested by the Sun, the
Identification could be final and authentic.
1t is probable that the Sun in ~investi-
eating the matter will send a representa-
tive to the Snake river valley during the

A RETRosPECTIoN.
A Correspondent Who Was Present at
Last Years School Meeting.

To the Editor OF Ths Leader.
CHEYENNE. May I'll was present at
the last years school election meeting and
remember when a voter urged the neces-
sitY OF an East End school aud made a
personal appeal to a member of the
board. That member stated with much
force that he did not see the urgent need
of such a building. and stated with more
force that he did not appreciate the criti-
cisms made upon his course as a trustee.
and said that nothing could induce him TO
be a director again. as bis time would be
worth more to him when devoted to his
own interests. Now, | understand, this
same director advocates a school house in
the East End. with the conditions I'M
changed, aud is a candidate for r~e-elec-
ton. Why is it2 As an answer. it looks
very much as If the board dusircs tn be
a self e%lecting body aud because the
board has slated this trustee for re cleo.
ton. No other argument can be pro-
duced in his favor.
While everybody praises the school
board it is well known that many Of the
members are not wholly disinterested. In
fact many of them have personal aims to
accomplish by remaining on the board.
While the school business is being
agitated there are many other points
which could well be discussed. The board
pays $1,000 a year to a principal who
devotes ffty-6ve minutes a day to teach
ing and a great part of the balance OF his
time to working combinations and
arrangements to keep his place. 1.-THE
people are interested as they should be
they will ask why should these things be,
and l hope they will come to the
meeting on Monday and try and find out.

A quiet wedding took place last night
atA. j. DAVIS house, on West Six
tenth street The contracting parties
were Julius Welnitz aud Mrs. Matte
Emerson. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. DR.. Cowhick. After the
ceremony a supper and reception were
rendered to a few particular friends of the
bride and groom.
The wedding will create some surprise
among the friends Of the parties, as the
preliminaries had been so quietly ar
ranged that TO all but a few the marriage
was wholly unexpected. This, however,
will not prevent the many friends of both
the young people from rendering hearty
well wishes for their future prosperity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Welmitz will go to house
keeping at once on West Sixteenth
street.

REPORT.
The Bond Agent Satisfied With the
Outlook.

John p. Watson, who has been out
here tor sometime looking after the pur-
chasing of the city bonds, has concluded
to make a favorable report to his house
concerning them,
He has spent some time investigating
the resources of the city and its need Of
the contemplated improvements.
Mr.. Watson has requested Mr.. Potter,
as city attorney, to draw up an opinion as
to the legality of the bonds and the
opinion will then be given by him to his
attorneys, Lacey & Van Devanter to look
over after which he will forward it 10
PHILADELPHIA for the inspection of the
intended purchasers. Mr.. Potter will
also draw up a contract providing for the
payments on the bonds. The payments
will be made $50, 200 at a time: $4,000
on the LIST of June. $50, 900 On the LIST Of
July and then a stipulated amount each
month until the whole amount has been
paid.
MIR. Watson has made a complete and
an exhaustive examination of the
resources of the city. He will take the
contract East with him for the signatures
OF his firm and as the bonds will be
registered as he requests they will probably
be sold all right this time.

The windows of the Saddle Rock short
order restaurant. on Seventeenth street,
attracted much attention last evening by
the tempting display of appetIzing delica
cies they contained. An immense turkey
In the centre was fanked by snipe, quail,
pheasants, chickens, plover and ducks.
Close by were shad, Spanish mackerel,
sea bass, blue fish, pike and Oregon sal
mon. Big red Holsters and crisp shrimps
had arranged around them lettuce, celery,
cucumbers, fresh onions, asparagus and
other vegetables. For fruits there were
oranges, bananas, p~ineapples and straw
berries. In fact the window contained a
finer display Of good things to eat than
has ever been seen In a Cheyenne res.
taurant. The Saddle Rock is the place
to go for IN elegant meal after the opera,
dances, or in TACT at any time. Especial
attention is gwen to serving promptly
and satisfactorily family parties at this

GRAHAM AND FLY.
Thcy Are Bound Over to Court for
Receiving stolen PropertY.

: Nv NV "a ' ~ S'hAA "
Receiving Stolen Property.
"
The examination Of Jerry Graham and
Peter Fly was held in Judge CAROLS
court yesterday. The two men were &C
cused of being receivers of stolen goods,
as quite a number of fine cigars, known
to have been stolen out of a Union Pa
ciic car last January, were found in
their possession. Graham claims to have
purchased them from a man who came to
him early one morning, saying that he
was a drummer and had been gambling
all night and was broke, and wanted
to sell him 1900 cigars for $40.
Jerry not having the money, borrowed it
from his friend Peter Fly, who had Dor
rowed it from some one else. The circum-
s%tantial evidence was pretty strong against
the men, as their testimony throughout
was rather fshy.
The judge rendered an opinion worthy
OF a member of the supreme court, at the
end of which he bound the two men over
to the district court.
The police claim that Graham has been
running a fence Tor some time, but has
heretofore been too sly about 1t to be
captured, and they are much elated at
getting him at last. The trial attracted
much interest among the colored popula-
ton who turned out in force to attend.
