THE UNION BUILDING SCHEME.
Prof. Mead Thinks 1t Might Readily
BE Brought About.

Members of the worlds fair committee,
Messrs. Elwood Mead. John Mccormick
and +. o. Williams, LETT last night for
Chicago to make arrangements for Wv
oming's exhibit.
Mr.. Mead, the secretary OF the COM
mittee, was asked what he thought of the
plan for the adjacent states to unite with
Wyoming in erecting a union building
that would be sufficiently imposing to rep.
resent the Rocky mountain states. Mr..
Mead thought that it would be a good
plan, provided the northern Rocky noun
tain states would agree. He said that the
director of the worlds fair has allotted
spaces at the exposition which are adjoIn-
joining, to the states in this order: Utah,
Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, and
therefore the plan would work satisfac-
tOrily for the union of four small buildings
into one large one. Utah has not yet ap-
propriated any money for the purpose of
the worlds fair, but probably will. Idaho
has $4,000 appropriated, which amount
will be largely increased by private sub
scrlption. Wyoming has $50, 900 and
Montana $40,0 DOC. By such a combina-
ton a very creditable and imposing build
ing could be erected. Mr.. Mead thinks
that if the director general of the fair APP
proved Of the plan it would be an easy
thing to bring about the union building
plan.

A wHELP.
y. W. Catln, a Nebraska Law breaker.
Captured IN Cheyenne.

Sheriff Mckay of Harrisburg, Neb, &C
companied by Louis Entley, a young mer-
chant of the same place, came to Chey-
emit Sunday after s. W. Catlin.
Catlin appears to be an all around ras-
cal and a low down one at that. He
m~ortgaged some teams to Entley about a
year ago and after getting the money
S25O-drove the mortgaged stock out OF
the state into Colorado where he sold
them. Catlin, who is a married man with
several children, was accused of raping a
Young girl at Harrisburg about a year
ago and escaped lynching by being locked
up in the Jail, His wife rustled for him
and finally prevailed upon Mr.. Entley to
loan $3.50 upon Catlin's outfit, the money
to be used in clearing him of the charge.
After Catlin get out he ran off the stock
and came to Cheyenne, where ne has
been hanging around the lowest and
toughest dives in the city.
MIR. Eutley located Catlin's wherea-
bouts by a letter addressed to him by his
wife. The sheriff, accompanied by Dep
uty Bynum, made a round OF the dives on
a hunt for Cstlin and found him living
with an old woman in a shantv between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets and Fer
guson and Eddy streets. Catlin had de-
serted his wife and family at Harrisburg
and will no dout be roughly dealt with
when taken back.
His Cheyenne girl is nearly 60 years
old. She was very much broken up to
think she was going to lose her boy, calling
at the jail yesterday several times, trying
to get a look at him. The sheriff with
his prisoner left on last nights train.

STOCK STEALING.
Wholesale Thens of Cattle in MANY
Parts OF the state.

Numerous complaints are being received
by Secretary ljams of the stock COM
mission regarding the amount of stock
stealing that is gong on over the state.
He says the thieving is becoming unbear,
able. and the big outfits suffer SO much
that they will have to leave the country if
they are not protected. The calf crop
will be less than half OF the average size
this year on accoun Of the r~ustlers. who
steal every cali they can get hold of, some
tunes going so far as to kill the COW when
they can't get the calf any other way.
The stealing is not confined to any one
section; but is all over the state: in fact.
the hustlers seem to have an organization
which enables them, without any loss of
time, to run a bunch of horses or cattle
from easternN Wyoming to Utah. He
mentioned a case of a rancher near Casper
who was told that a bunch of eleven of
his horses were being driven west toward
Utah. He took the trail to follow them,
and every time he struck a valley he
would ask some OF the settlers
if they had seen the stock. Yes" was
the invariable reply, Il saw them going
over the divide a few days ago" He
would cross the divide aud was told the
same story in the next valley and the
thing was kept up for over $50 miles,
until at last the horses were found about
one days travel from Utah. The owner
OF the horses thinks that there is a regular
underground railway in operation and the
stolen stock is passed on from one rustler
to another, and in that way a connection
is made from the Missouri river through
to Utah.
A. B. Clark lost a herd OF horses aud
when he go. on their trail found they
we're going to Nebraska. The man fol-
lowing the herd was told by a roundup
he passed that he had better not follow
the horses any further, as the parties
driving them were too strong for him.
Mr.. Iiams says that the complaints re-
ceived are numerous and from all parts of
the state, and call for energetic action on
the part of the cattlemen to protect
themselves, as the stock commission is
hampered through the lack of means.

A TRIP TO
How the Intervening Looked
Ioa.sLeadeT,, Man.

A LEADER representative on his way
to St. Paul, MINI, writes as follows from
Omaha: 1T is a long ride from Cheyenne
TO Omaha but it did not prove tiresome
over the Burlington. The sun rose when
we were a little below Kingman's grove
and the sight was q glorious one. Look
ing eastward the view is broken only by
an occasional wire fence, band of cattle,
horses or antelope. Not a bush nor a
weed is seen, but the clean and beautiful
green prairie sweeps majestically east
ward and seemed to end only in the colors
of the rising sun. To the mind OF the
writer there could scarcely be a more
pleasing sight, unless it was when turn
ing to look westward the same beautiful
green ended abruptly against the over
ing snow capped Rocky mountains, which
in the morning sun stood put in all their
beauty and grandeur.
Crops, especially grain, along the line of
the Burlington are looking fine. The
p~rairies, however, become less and less
attractive as the Missouri river is neared.
At Cheyenne they are a beautiful green;
farther east they took on a white cast, and
still farther a reddish color. The change
in color Is caused by the grass going to
seed. 1t Is not as good either as it is in
Wyoming, and down this way there are
three weeds to one blade of grass. Near
the Missouri river there has been an ex-
cess of rain. Between Lincoln and Omaha
water is standing between the corn rows,
and in many places it is badly damaged
on that account. The county above Lin
coin is very beautiful. 1t is nearly level,
and its general appearance has been i'm
proved by many handsome groves. Nearer
Omaha there is considerable timber of nat
ural growth, and the country is more roll
ing and rugged. This is a good thing for
the growing crops, as the water runs of.
ut was noticed THAI while crops be-
tween Holdredge and Holyoke were good
not much of the land was under culuva-
one would expect. Inquiry developed
the fact that much of the land is now
owned by spectators. Some of it was
proved up Oh and Immediately sold, as
the owners never intended to make homes
there. Much more OF it was mortgaged
BY the original, honest settlers. Thousands
of these mortgages have been purchased.
In either case the land Voes into the
hands of the spectators. 1t is a pity to
think of the homes that could be mede on
the grand Western prairies; of how the
original intention of the government to
give these homes Il the million of people
in need of, and desiring them, has been
perverted aud the land now in the hands
Of the Spectator, while there is still in
this great land of opportunities thousands
of people without homes. In the near
future perhaps these same people will
rent this same land from these same
spectators"

Governor Barber is in receipt of a letter
from james E. Booge, president Of the
Sioux CITY, Iowa, corn palace, in which

yesterday and given sixty days in jail for
burglarizing McKeaver's house on the
South Side. Bowan entered the house by
a cellar window, and was seen by three
young tramps with whom he divided the
spoiis. The bows. who belong in Chey-
enne, were on their way tramping back
from Carr station when they struck Bow
an. They had started out to see the
world. but the rough treatment they re-
ceived from the train men rather damp
ened their ardor. They were used as wit.
nesses against Bowan and then sent home.

INDIAN INSTRUCTIONS.
wanton Destruction of Game Must
be Stopped.

Some time ago a petition was received
by the governor from settlers in the Salt
river valley asking him to take some
action and lay before the United States
government their COMPLAINT. They com
planned that the Shoshone and Bannock
Indians from the Fort Hall, Idaho, reser-
walton were in the habit of coming down the
valley, wantonly slaughtering game and
threatening and insulting the settlers
without provocation.
The petition was sent on to Washington
and yesterday the governor received the
following copy of a letter which Indian
Commissioner Morgan has sent to the
Indian agent at Fort Hall concerning the
grievance:
You are instructed to advise your
Indians of the above complaint and
inform them that while the treaty rights
of the Shoshones and Bannocks under
the 4th article of the treaty made with
them July 3. 1868, to hunt on the I'M
occupied lands of the United States as
long as game may be found there will
be respected; that they will not be allowed
to abuse the same by their wauton
destruction of game or by killing the same
for their hides only; or by doing improper
acts having a tendency to intlmidate the
settlers or their families and that they
must not leave their reservation without
written permission therefor and that such
permission will be refused those who
abuse their treaty rights as indicated.
You will further inform the Indians
that the game laws of Wyoming and
Idaho impose many restrictions upon
hunting, which are doubtless wise en-
actments necessary for the proper pre-
servation OF game, and it is deemed ad-
visable for the Indians to comply there
with as far as practicable. You will
adopt all necessary and proper measures
to enforce strict obedience to all orders
given by you in the premises.
You are further instructed to make an
investigation as to the facts alleged in said
petition and report the result thereof to
this office, submitting Herewith your
recommendation as to whether any
further action is necessary for this office
to take in the premises, with a view to
preventing any Just grounds of complaint
beng given the settlers by the Indians.
The grievance is common in all parts of
the state adjacent to the reservations and
the above order will probably apply to all
of the agencies.
