A GIRL DROWNED.
Caught in the Torrent of a Rain
Swollen Creek.
She Is Swept away Before Her
Agonized Mothers Eyes.
The Latter Nearly Loses Her Life
In Trying to Save Her.

L. s. Johnston, the grocer. returned
from Wheatland yesterday with a sad
story of a drowning accident. William
Taylor, his wife and only child, a daugh-
ter about six years old, live on Deadhead
creek near the Sabille. About a week
ago Taylor left for the west to try and
sell a wagon load of vegetables which he
had raised and his exact whereabouts even
up to yesterday were unknown.
The little girl attended school in the
immediate vicinity of her home. On
last Wednesday there was a very severe
rain storm in that neighborhood and the
little creek flowed a torrent of water.
This creek the girl was obliged to cross to
the lookout for her return and going to
the creek bank advised her daughter not
to cross until some arrangement could be
made to get her over. She then threw
a shawl across telling che child to wrap
up SO as to protect herself from the
piercing cold. The girl had advanced
close to the brink of the creek to catch
the shawl and at that instant there was a
vivid fash Of lightning followed by a
n;crcing neal of thunder. The child
ipmned as though she had been shot and
the crumbling bank beneath her feet gave
wav orecinitatipy her into the seetbipg
water. There was a loud, ~aponized call
for helm and her The little one was
ranidly vbirled down the stream.

He Will STAY.
Shop SuperIntent o'Hearne wIthdraws
His ResIgnation.

Assistant General Manager Dickinson
was in town yesterday. The first thing
he did was to round up Shop Superinten-
dent O'Hearne and ask him in regard to
his resignation. Mir. O'Hearne explained
his reasons, one of which was that he was
not entirely satisfied with his componsa-
ton. Dickinson said he didn't need to
suffer on that score.
Mr.. Mcconnell, superintendent of
motive power. on his way east telegraphed
O'Hearne to meet him at Sherman. The
latter did so and a conference was after
ward held here by the three officials.
The result was apparently satisfactory to
Mr.. O'Hearne for he has withdrawn his
resignation and will for the present re-
main in Cheyenne. This will be pleasant
news for many people. Mr.. O'Hearne
has made an enviable reputation since he
has been superintendent of the Cheyenne
shops and it is but simple justice that his
merits should be recognized. A brass
foundry is liable to be one of the results
of Mr.. O'Hearne's administration as
this would very materially aid in expe'
dating the work here.

GETS LOTS OF GRIEF.
The Stock Secretary and the Unreal
sonabie Demands Had on Him.

Secretary Iiams OF the stock commission
does not always find his job a pleasant one.
He and Miss Smith, his assistant, are
kept busy answering correspondence and
sending out checks. and even then do not
succeed in pleasing everybody. Recently
a letter was received which ran like this:
Why in thunder don't you send my
money for that steer you took from RAIDER
Bros, and not have mt running to the
postofice every day looking for it. l
would rather have a man come to my
range to steal my cattle than to steal the
money after | have paid for gathering and
shipping.
In the instance referred 10 a steer be-
longing to the party making complaint
had been shipped with others to market
When the inspectors took the steer some
one put in a claim of 81 against it. The
inspectors refused to allow the claim until
it was proven. The money was held until
the claim should either be proven or DIS
proven and when the latter was estab-
hshed the money was sent to the owner of
the steer, who had been saved 81 by the
commission. Mr.. Ijams says many do
not understand that the commission is
backed up by 10 state. Such is the case,
and he is under $40. 900 bonds for the
faithful fulflment of his duty.

the effects of an abortion produced by
Mrs. Mas. Dresser made no defense
