AChriStmaS Poem.

Oh, how we love the Christmas time!
And how we love to roam,
To see what we can get that's good,
To beautify our home.
What can we do more worthy
Than a helping hand to lendi
To make our home more cheerful,
And not forget friend.
Now Jane we've talked this over,
And I'll tell you what We'll do;
Well go to the store the people like,
IT'S the place first met you.
Their name is known all over,
And the boys in the shop agree,
That of all the places in the town
Ills the store You want to see.
It goes from South Main clear to Grand,
And full on every floor;
The prices are what we can stand,
We can ask for nothing more.
The clerks are always civil,
And they wait on You with care.
Their Pictures, Rockers, Lounges,
Are pleasing, new and rare.
So, Jane put on your bonnet,
And button up your shoes;
You make me tired, here waiting,
While II bargain we may lose.
Aud If we're short of money.
They will give us n chance to pay,
Come, hurry up my honey,
l won't wait another day.
JAMES RETURN.
Well, George, I've seen that store
You talked about tonight,
And it's just rs you have stated
1t is pleasant sight
Those Sixteenth Century Rockers
In willow, plush, rattan,
Are elegant and durable,
I'll have one If can.
thought of the night when frst we met
Twas on the parlor floor;
How much their stock has since improved
Indeed it is THE store.
Aud the people seem to know it,
As they're walking up and down;
It's THE place to buy our furniture
AS long as we're in town.
We wish you merry Christmas,
All who helped to make our pile;
And when you come to see us,
We will greet you with a smile.
As sure ~ Mary had lamb,
And two aud one are three,
If you want to furnish up in style,
We're the fellows You want to see.
-MoRIARTY.
As George and Jane speak, so do all who visit
our mammoth establishment. We want every

English Papers Discussing the Ford
O'Brlen Dispute.
LONDON, Jan. 2,-The English papers
are discussing Patrick Ford's reply to
William O'Brien as it appears in the Irish
World, and agree that the latter has con-
sideratbly the.worst of it in the dispute.
The Globe says:
"O'Brien's confusion of mind simply
means that he is trying to look in two
different ways with two different faces,
one for the Gladstonist, who likes only
verbal explosives, and the other for
Ford's clients, who find dollars on their
faith of promises that are not to be
merely verbal. Unluckily, the smooth
face meant for Ford has caught the
eyes of the English critics, and the angry
face meant only for the Gladstonist, has
caught the eye of Ford.
"This is unlucky for O'Brien, but
it is exceedingly lucky for all the per-
sons interested in the exposure of sham
enthusiasm. mock indignation and real
hypocrisy"

The Cheyenne Il Northern will pull
out from the Union Pacific depot this
morning at its usual time. 1t is the
opinion of the officials that it will be able
to pull through. too. if no billiards
swoop down upon it before it gets to its
destination. The train of cars that we're

A little after 9 O'Clock yesterday a

plenty of equipments left this city to

VICTIM NUMBER TWO.
o. III. TaYIOr Passes Another Bogus
heel on n Nebraska Bank.

The scOundrel palminR himself off under
the lame of o. H.. TAYLOR has been heard
from again. Yesterday the Stock
Growers National bank received another
bogus check. 1t had the same general
appearance as the one received last Thurs,
day-that is 1t was written upon q Stock
Growers National check blank and was
endorsed in the name of that bank 10 red
ink just as the other one was, but the
similarity of the two bogus checks stops
there. Instead of bearing the forged
name of Mr. Roedel it bears the name of
X. s. Van Tassell. The amount is 1890.
Taylor went to the Howard Lumber
company at Binkelton, Neb., and through
some means he prevailed upon that com
pauy 10 endorse the bogus check. This
accomplished he went to the Union bank
in the little town of Binkeltou aud drew
the money upon it. The Union bank.
through its usual channels of business.
sent the forged check to a Denver bank and
the Denver institution, in the same man
ner, sent it back to the Cheyenne bank.
The Denver bank did no; suspect any
thing wrong with the check. Cashier
Hay wired the fact to both Denver and
the Nebraska town. The loss rests be,
tween the lumber company which en-
dorsed the check and the Nebraska bank
which first cashed the bogus check.
The forger is described as being about
30 years old, of rather dark complexion,
and dressed in cowboy style. He claim:
to be a cattle detective.

SPORT AT SARATOGA.
A Ball Which Drew People For Miles
Around.

Special C~orrespondence.
SARATOGA. Wyo., Dec. 2G.-The band
boys gave a grand ball and supper on
Christmas eve. 1t was the first dance in
the new hall in the Chatterton, Burdick
4 Whlttlesey block and was largely at.
tended. About seventv.tive gentlemen
and more than that many ladies we're
present. There were Gold Hill boys. COW
boys and hOTseboys, who had come forty
FIVE miles. Some of the ladies, too, were
from distant points. All seemed happy,
but the happiest mao of all was Prompter
Missouri Joe, as he watched the bellies
of Saratoga chase that squirrel. At
midnight supper was served at w. n.
Kennedy's, when dancing was resumed
and kept up until 3 O'Clock.
Thursday evening the Episcopal church
was crowded. the occasion being a Christ
mas tree event. Next the tree at Hugus'
store drew a crowd, and then came the
dance. Christmas was a clear day aud 10
the afternoon those sportingly inclined
had a horse race. y purse Of sos was
raised by subscription and five horses en-
tered. 1t was a quarter of a mile dash.
After scoring for an hour they got off.
Daylight could be seen between Bob SIS,
sons Mayfowcr aud Eli Lees Coyote,
the former having the lead. The race
was finished with Coyote tapping on May
flower. Mayfower first money. Coyote
second. A foot race was then run be-
tween C.G. Sutton. the well known jockey,
and a man named Beebe. Sutton kept
the lead and it was claimed fouled Beebe,
who tell. This resulted in a quarrel later
in the day, when but for the interference OF
friends knives and six-shooters would have
been used. Christmas night another
dance was given for the benefit ofthe band.

KAHN CAUGHT 1T.
He Sued for a Thousand and Got
Eight Hundred Dollars.
His Case Against Another Company
10 be Tried Monday.
Jurors Who We're Not Delighted
With a Little Walk.

Yesterday was the fifth day that the
district count has given its attention to
the Kahn insurance case. Upon the as
semblIpg of the court the hearing OF evil
dence was continued. Early in the at.
teruoon the hearing of evidence was com
pleted and on account of the complicated
condition of the evidence it was decided
by the court that the jurors should visit
the remains OF the storehouse where
Kahn did business prior to the time OF
the fire. in which he alleges that he lost
something like 50, 900. At this one of
the most amusing incidents of the day oc-
Cured. judge Scott requested Sheriff
Kelley to appear before him. The officer
soon appeared and after Clerk Atkinson
had sworn MIN Judge Scott instructed
him in regard to bis duties. Before the
jurors left the box, however. the court
and spectators were startled BY a voice
which rang out theretrom. It was simple
and to point. 1t said: How are we to
receive transportation to our destination
aud back2"
A broad smile spread upon the faces of
those present, while the court looked nom
plussed. Sheriff Kelley was equal 10 the
occasion. He had evidently been there
before. He suggested that the jurors,
who had been penned up FOR FIVE DAYS,
and who were supposed to need a little
exercise. be escorted to a street car and
that the court pay the expenses of having
them transported to their destination and
back. This was agreed 70 and the Jurors
filed out ard looked somewhat taken
aback because the court had exposed
them to the inclement sunshine for fully
four blocks in a common street car, when
they could as easily have had a cushioned
turnout and a couple of pair of fiery
steeds. Once back. the attorneys. Messrs.
Stoll for the plaintiff and VanDevanter
for the defense, were ea,h limited to an
hours speech, after which the case was
given to the Jury. who we're placed in
charge of an officer and given a room for
consultation.
Shortly before 10 o'clock last night the
Jury agreed. Judge Scott at once came
to the court room and heard their verdict.
1t was what might be called a verdict in
favor of Kahn. Kahn was suing for
81, 900 and the jury gave him $500.
The mex case on the docket is the case
of Kahn vs.. The Traders Insurance COM
pany. Court has adjourned until next
Monday, when that case will be called.
