RAwLTNs. Wyo.. March 24.-James
Lanabau, the storekeepsr at the Pacific
hotel, who was stabbed by the porter, as
reported in The LEADER yesterday. was
sent to the Denver hospital tonight. 1t
seems that the porter was in the store
room and the storekeeper told him to 60
out. He refused to go. When the store
keeper undertook to force him he whipped
out his pocket knife and stabbed the
s~torekeeper twice, once in the shoulder
and once in the back, penetrating the
pleural cavity. DR.. Solier. Union Pacific
surgeon was at once called and dressed
the wound. In a conversation with your
correspondent he stated that the wounds
were very dangerous. ii not fatal but that
at the present stage of the injury, it was
impossible to state definitely. The porter,
whose name cannot be learned, is one OF
the bad man species, aud offered to
carve the entire outfit at the hotel after
the occurrence. He Immediately struck
out and was found by an officer at the
round house trying to get out on an en-
CINE to escape. He was arrested. how

HAS RESIGNED.
Father Nugent Preparing To Leave
CHEYENNE.

Rev. Francis J. Nugent has resigned as
Parish priest of Cheyenne. He will leave
for Denver this afternoon and returning
early next week will then proceed to
Philadelphia, in which arch diocese he
expects to hereafter remain, although his
plans are not yet definitely settled.
Few citizens OF Cheyenne, whether
lay or cleric, have been more completely
identified with the progress of the town.
81. Johns hall, the handsomely regulated
Catholic cemetery and the fine convent
school building are directly the results of
his personal efforts and influence. In ad-
dition there are the church societies sucL
as the Irish Benevolent Society with a
fund of 5000 ready cash In its treas
ury.
He IA a man who would make his mark
in any profession. He has always enjoyed
the respect of the people of this commun-
Ity regardless Of creed and the regret over
his departure will not be confined to the
members of his late congregation. 1t is
generally understood that his resignation
was brought about by a misunderstanding
with his spiritual superior, B shop Burke.
The latter was disappointed because he
failed to secure the diocese of Omaha. To
accomplish this Wyoming would again be
attached to Omaha for spiritual purposes
An investigation made by Bishop Boni-
Gun of Lincoln convinced hat prelate
that Wyoming presented a good fiele for
work with prospects sufficiently bright to
warrant its maintenance as a separate
blshopric. Father Nugent has always
been a firm believer in the prosperous fu-
ture OF the state, but so long as his views
were at variance with the bishops their
relation could not be cordial aud his res
i%gnation therefore followed.

GOLD HILL, March 2l.-This has been
a very quiet week in our camp, most Of
the men that have been working on their
claims having gone to Saratoga, either
sick or to celebrate the 18th of March.
The Leviathan is nov down about
seventy eight feet and still looks as well
as ever.
The contract for fifty feet on the Acme
has been completed. Before there Is any
more sinking done the mine will have to
be timbered. With the exception of the
Laramie tunnel all the other claims have
been idle this week. Some of the boys
were disappointed to find that the pic
lures that Messrs. Richardson and Brown
were to send them did not come. If these
gentlemen would try as hard to learn
photography as they did to suow-shoe
they would make a grand success.
Mr.. Thompson and George Hubert ar.
rived IN camp last night. They are to do
work on some prospects.
Charley Benton arrived last night after
a long hard trip. He left Mill Greek
Thursday morning expecting to arrive in
camp the same day, but the snow stuck
to his shoes so that he only made the
nerth end Of the range that night. There
he camped and ate snow for a lunch. The
next morning he started again, and
although it was storming SO he could
hardly see he made the Cusick and Gas.
sidv cabin. The storm beng so bad here
he took the wrong gulch and came down
on South Brush creek. where Mr.. Grfia
heard him calling and brought HIM IN.
Charley was very fortunate in not freez.
ing himself badly. He frosted his toes
and ears some.
The Carbon road is not in yet and there
is some talk of going out to see where the
men who are working on it are.

Andrew Carnegie Taught Hun.

An interesting fact in connection with
the late A. G. SNYDER is that he was
taught the business of telegraphy by An
drew Carnegie and afterward succeeded
that gentlemen as one of the regular
operators in the office. During the war
Mr.. Snyder much preferred service in the
ranks, but owing to his expertness as an
operator the military authorities insisted
upon his remaining in that branch of the
service. He used to tell a rather amusing
story of how he once disappeared from
headquarters and made his way back to
his own company. Soon after getting
back he sauntered into the telegraph Office
and the very first thing he heard clicking
over the wire was an order for his W
arrest. Without saying a word, and long
before the order ,uld be executed, Mr..
Snyder found his way back to his own
telegraph instrument and escaped with a
light reprimand.
