STEALING FROM THE COMPANY.
Annoying Losses Frequently Expert
enced--An Arrest.

Max Goldsmith, who runs a junk sboD
on Eddy street. is again in trouble, as he
had in his possession some copper and
brass together with some switch locks that
were stolen from the Union Pacific.
Goldsmith was arrested some days ago by
United States authorities for having prop
erty belonging to the government IN his
possession but was released on account of
his ignorance. He was taken before
Judge Lee on the charge OF stealing from
the railroad and will have his hearing to-
day az . O'Clock.
The stealing from the railroad company
has been a great source of annoyance and
loss every month, sometimes as much as
$1,000 worth of goods being lost. Mon
day night five kegs of spikes were stolen
and carried off, kegs and all. Sometime
ago an engine was all ready to be turned
out OF the shops with the exception of the
adjusting of two necessary brass pieces
which were lying on the floor. The force
went to dinner and when they returned
the two pieces Of brass had been stolen
and this loss delayed the completion OF
the engine for three days until the miss
ing brass could be procured from Omaha.
Goldsmith claims that he could not
read the name or the letters STAMPED on
the brass and padlocks hat were found in
his possession, and did not know he was
buying contrabaud goods. Superinten-
dent O'Hearne is getting tired Of the
petty thieviug aud intends to make an ex-
ample of the prisoner if possible.

Three whistles last night gave the
alarm that the new paint shops of the
Union Pacific plant were ON fire. The
fire bell was rung and the hose companies
turned out and made a qIick run to the
tracks, only to find that they had answer
ed to a false alarm. The night yard men
saw a fire by the paint shop and turned
in the alarm thinking the shop was on
fire. On running to the building they
found that the fire was caused by a bucket
of paint outside OF the building which
had probably ignited spontaneously. The
burning paint was kicked out Of the way
and the building was not injured.

Mr.. Wurtele's private car 02I Is an old
timer as it was used by Bishop Sharp,
manager of the Utah Central while that
road was under the control OF the Mormon
church.
The road afterwards passed into the
hands of the Union Pacific and the car
came with it and has since then been used
on the Wyoming division as the private
car OF the superintendent.
When in his travels Mr.. Wurtele
reaches Salt Lake the car is looked upon
with reverence by the OLD time Mormons
who remember the glorious days of the
church when their president was able to
ride over his own railroad in his private
car and be monarch OF all he cou Id see.

ONE ON HIMSELF.
Mr.. Lawrence Tells How IA Friend
Unexpectedly Spoiled the Pleasure
of IA Stage Ride.

Post Office Inspector Lawrence is one
of the best story %tellers you can find and
ALWAYS has some amusing yarn to tell
either on himself or one of his friends.
He tells q good one on himself in which
Joe Bash, a United States deputy in
Utah, does him up in quite an unexpected
manner.
MIR. Lawrence in company with Joe
Bush were up in the Wasatch mountains
in Utah, after a postmaster, who was short
in his accounts. On returning to Salt
Lake with their prisoner, they had to
make part of their Journey in a stage.
Going to Salt Lake by the same stage
were several handsome young Mormon
women and Lawrence, who was the
best looking of the two, decided
that his place was inside with the Nor
mon while Bnsh could sit on the
front seat of the stage with the driver
and take care of the prisoner. Lawrence
was getting along nicely with the Mormon
ladies' and had succeeded in making them
tnluk ne was u ROOu mOrmOn anu also a
Jolly fellow. Bush was a little bit en-
yiOus and determined at the first oppor-
tunity to spoil Mr.. L%awrence's fine time if
he could and cause the ladies to change
their opinion OF him.
They had reached the top Of a hill
when the driver stopped to let the horses
rest. The ladies wondered at the cause
of the delay and Mr.. Lawrence kindly
volunteered to find out for them. Putting
his head out of the window OF the stage
he asked of Bush the cause of the trouble
and was badly ratified at the reply.
Nothing is the natter" said Bush,
You know these horses are Mormon
horses and have stopped on the top of the
hill to wait for a revelation"
The Mormon ladies were very much
shocked at the levity of the marshall and
refused to speak to either of the gentle
men during the rest of the journey,
breaking up the pleasant time MIR. Law
renee had beer having.

The shops for a number OF moons have
been guarded and watched wei by a
%watchman named Solomon. He Is a very
faithful German and desires to do his
duty. The large amount OF thIeving that
has been going on in the yards at night
has been a constant grief to him. and
when asked ~hv no didn't arrest the peo-
pie who did the stealing, he replied that
he couldn't, that they would give HIM the
laugh and saw. "Yo GU are no officer. Where
is your starr"
Solomon thought that If he had a star
he would be all right, so yesterday Mr..
O'Hearne made an application for a com,
mission for his Waterman. Solomon was
granted a star and now he is happy and
intends to run the yards in a proper man.

DIrCH APPLICATIONS.
Thew Are Coming in Rapidly TO the
State Engineers Office.

From the number Of persons and cor
pofations who want to build bitches it
looks as though Wyoming was to have
an irrigation boom at once. The majority
ofthose who apply to the water commission
for permission TO build bitches are small
ranchers. but occasionally a big concern
with lots of capital is the applicant.
Geo. G.. Griffith of Ogden has filed
with Engineer Mead an application to be
permitted to run a pipe line taking water
from a spring, to be used for mining pur-
poses at the Interstate Coal company's
mines at Rock Springs. The pipe to be
used is three and a half inches in dame
ter and the line is to be named the Inter
state Pipe Line. IL will cost SO, 600 and
will be completed in a year.
The Carbon County Ditch company
have in an application to build a ditch ten
miles long and twenty feet wide at the
top, to take water from Beaver creek in
Carbon county. The application states
that the ditch will cost IS, 900, will be
completed in three years and that it will
bring under irrigation IL 200 acres of land.
The headquarters of the company is at
Collins, Wyo.

WANT A NEW ADMINISTRATORS.
Legal squabbIe Over the Estate OF
Rustier WaggoneT.

Judge Blake OF Laramie was on the
bench yesterday in the court room to listen
TO the argument for the application to
have a new administrator Of the Waggoner
estate appointed.
Tom Waggoner of Weston county was
lynched some time ago and left an estate
valued in the neighborhood of 800. 900.
Waggoner's neighbors accused him Of
r~ustling and seem to have bad good
foundation for their belief, +. W. Coates
was appointed administrator of the estate
and seems to be giving satisfaction to all
but those who were Waggoner's intimate
friends and they are applying to the
courts to have 2 new one appointed.
The clttlemen who we're Wag-
g%oner's neighbors have taken action
in the matter aid are backing
Mr.. Coates, fearing that if one of Mr..
Waggoner's personal friends is appointed
that the ranch will be conducted as of old,
as a headquarters for the cattle thieves.
Mr.. Coates has been investigating the es-
tate and has made one or two discoveries
in regard to some altered brands that are
liable to make things rather warm for a
band of cattle thieves supposed to be
operating in Weston county.
Mr.. Davis appeared for the opposition
AMI Judge Van Devanter for the admin
lstrator. Some papers in the case were
misplaced so the hearing was postponed.

Great EIcitementi in the Saratoga and
Gold Hill Section.

Special Dispatch TO The Leader.
SARATOGA, Wyo., July IA rich
body OF ore has been struck in the Argo'
maui tunnel at 1913 feet on the Grand En-
campment. Ore shipments to Omaha
will begin Immediately. There Is great
excitement over the event and an extraor-
binary impetus has been given to pros
pectinR in that vicinity.
j. G. Rankin, who lust arrived from
the head of Jack creek. twenty miles
west, gives information that a big com
pany has located six hundred acres OF
placers. A large ditch has been surveyed
and work begun looking to the erection Of
hydraulic machinery at once. The pros
pect there Is reported fine. Coarse gold
as large as wheat grains was found at the
grass roots.
This news comes quite unexpected and
has been kept extremely quiet until the
ground was secured and bed rock struck
in the Cusic gulch at a depth of sixty
feet and coarse gold found.
The parties are reticeDt concerning the
discoveries but enough is known to war
rant the saving that the find is very rich.
Parties here are preparing to locate placer
claims on all tributaries OF the North
Platte. The gravel bars here in own are
being proitably worked with rockers and
$50 has been taken out in one clean up of
three days.
The road from Saratoga to Gold Hill is
lined and the camp is alive with pros
pcctors.
An ore shipment from the Blue Bell
mine is on the road.

which is to be an addition to the big
shops was placed on the ground yes,
terday. The addition will be a two story
brick and make a handsome addition to
the already fine shop building. George
East is the contractor.
Good mechanics at the shops'are In de-
mand, as besides the number OF men who
have been recently added to the .orce,
about fifteen more first-cIass workmen are
needed to carry on the work laid out.
The work of putting up the fence

menced at once. 1t will be completed as

Seven horses out of three car loads died
at the stock Yards Monday. One of the
horses vas cut open and a post mortem
examination held which showed the cause
of their dying to have been diarrhea. The
horses were OIL the way from Oregon to
the East and belong to the same outfit
that lost a number of horses at the stock
yards some time ago. The horses had
been loaded on the cars at Deer Lodge.
Montana and brought through to Chey-
enne without food or water, and watering
ard feeding them here after SO long a
fast probably brought on the disease. The
stock was loaded on the cars at once and
shipped East, but it is probable that
several more will die soon as they were In
a bad condition when started.

A Suggestion.

The complaint regarding the new Gold
Hill placers in Wyoming is that more
prospecting is being done than actual
work. Everyone is busy getting CLAIMS,
but no one is producing any gold. Ii
would seem to an outsider that for a camI
which has excited so much talk a very
small supply of nuggets has been obtained.
Put the ~sluicers to work. That will soor
test the richness Of the placers.

pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference

an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
