HEAVY RAIN ALL.
1t Has Done Little Damage and will
Do Much Good.

The heavy rainfall of the last few days
was general over the state. Advices re-
celved by the signal service from Fort
Mckinney near Buffalo, johnson county,
reports a rainfall up there of two inches
and from Fort Washakie they report a
rainfall of two and one.half inches. Along
the Union Pacific and the southern part
of the state the rainfall averages two and
one-half inches for the past two days.
No damage is reported from water from
the outside state and but little here in
Cheyenne.
A number of cellars were flooded but
the damage was slight. Some fear was
felt tor Heath's market. next to the ex-
cavation for the new Walker building,
but the foundations were propped up
just in time.
The water was going down Fifteenth
street rather lively but was turned off at
TEomes street onto the Union Pacific
tracks. No provision has been made for
the company to take care of the water
which goes down there, although some
have a dim recollection that a verbal
agreement was made at one time for the
company to take care of the water, but
as it was never made a matter of record
the city will have to attend to the matter.

NOT WHAT 1T APPEARED.

A good joke Is told on Mayor Frib-
ley aud others which was not intend
ed for a joke. About 10 80 o'clock
Wednesday night as Chas. Capiio was
carrying load Of bread along the
alley from his bake oven In the
south Daniels building to his store
room opposite the Baxter bank he
noticed IN the darkness three m III
dressed in dark clothes carrying down
the alley what he took TO be a rude
coffin containing u corpse. As he
passed near them they turned their
heads aside in suspicious way as II
fearful that they might be known.
He saw them 90 toward p. Buttons
blacksmith shop and was quite pos
tive they went In there. Dropping
his load of bread in the store he rush
ed across the street 10 inform Mayor
Fribley that dark work Of some kind
was being perpetrated and the fiends
were yet at short range. Ira Perkins
happened along just as Capito was
telling Fribley and the three moved
stealthfully across the street to the
shop and after carefully listening for
evidences of life inside they raped
loudly on the door several times aud
the mayor demanded admittance. No
one responded, but the gentle murmur
of the wind as it passed the building
was very suggestive of ghosts about
that time and the parties retired,
speaking in whispers as they did so.
After waiting about half an hour for
developments, during which Capito
did his best to convince the others that
he was not laboriDg under a mental
or optical illusion, they retired.
The whole thing was explained the
next morning when it was learned
that the I. o. o. F. had meeting
Wednesday night aud that the object
seen by Capito was part of the lodge
furniture of that order which was be-
ing taken to the lodge room in the
Cooper building.

On the Right Track
SOUGHT DEATH FOUR TIMES.
Viola GreyIoclS's identity Revealed A
Mania for Suicide.

Viola GreyIoolt's identity Revealed A
Mania for Suicide.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13-NIiss Viols
Gre ylock, who attempted suicide by
taking "a dose of laudanum in New York
on Monday, and was kept on a tramp
for forty eight hours to ward off death
at Bellevue Hospital, is none other than
Miss Annie Miller, alias Clara Greylock,
who was taken to the German Hospital
on Sept. II, suffering from like cause.
On that occasion she gave the name of
Greylock, although subsequently ad.
mitting that the name was assumed.
She maintained rigid silence when
questioned as to her antecedents, just
as she has done in New York and it was
only by the most searching inquiry that
her true identity came to light. Her
mind is undoubtedly unbalanced
Beyond a doubt Viola Greylock is
really Miss Anna Miller of Hobart,
Orange County, Z n Y. If she is Miss
Miller, as her friends in Philadelphia
have every reason to believe, this makes
her fourth attempt at suicide Twice
has she attempted to take her life in
Philadelphia, and in each case laudunum
has been her choice. Her last attempt
was in the early part Of September,
when she was taken 90 the German Hos
pital, and there gave the name of Grey
lock
She was born in New York. Her
father died when quite young, and her
mother, being in reduced circumstances,
placed her in an asylum at Cooperstown,
\. y, and nothing has ever been heard
of her since. 1t is not known whether
she is living or dead.
When about 10 years old Anna was
adopted by farmer named Taylor, liv-
ing at Hobart, n Y. 1t was while liv-
ing with the Taylors that she first at.
tempted to take her life. She was then
confined in an asylum for time, but
appearing TO be perfectly rational she
was discharged.
She has always been an exceedingly
sensitive girl, and, not liking the idea
of being dependent on others, she de-
termined to earn her own living. aeon
Bequently she came to Philadelphia, at
tempted suicide again, and was sent
back to her home at Hobart. Here she
remained for some time, but returned
to Philadelphia, and sewed for Miss
Ross, n dressmaker at No. 72O North
Twentieth street
She made her third attempt at suicide
on the lith OF september last, and II
was then that she gave the name o
Greylock. Dr. Andrews examined heI
at the German Hospital, and pronounced
her insane. While negotiations were
being made to have her placed in Kirk
brides Asylum Miss Ross visited the
Hospital and took her away. She wal
Rfterward placed in the Presbyterian
Hospital, where being young lady o.
refinement, she became quite popular
escape from there about a month ago
and Disappeared entirely.
