La GRANGE rIRE.sMEPr.
BIggs a Brown and the United State.
Post Office the Losers.

Wilson Mitchell, foreman for ex-Gov.
George W. Baxter's Little Horse creek
ranch, arrived in Cheyenne yesterday
morning. He brings the intelligence of a
very destructive fire which occurred in
the little town of La Grange last Friday
night.
The store OF Messrs Biggs & Brown,
consisting of about $40, 600 worth of goods
was totally destroyed. This firm carried
about 81 900 insurance.
There was a fierce gale beating down
upon the unfortunate village at the time,
which spread the angry flames to a large
lumber yari, worth estimated. 5000.
This was also owned by BIggs & Brown,
and whether or not there was any insur-
ance upon it, could not be learned.
The post office was the next victim of
the flames, aud. Notwithstanding the
heroic efforts made by the toRnspeople,
it, too. with all the postal paraphernalia,
was completely Quilted.
A number of other smaller buildings
and less important property was either
totally or partially destroyed. The fire was
an ~incendiary. No one has the least idea
how it originated, but it was first discov-
cred in the store of Biggs & Brown, and
with the storm then blowing it was imme.
diately beyond control. 1t is a fierce blow
to the little town of LaGrange, and every
effort will be made to find the parties who
are responsible for it and bring them to
a speedy trial.
A very plausible theory advanced is
that the postofice and perhaps the store
was robbed and then set on FIRE, it beinl
very doubtful if any one would have beer
mean enough to have burned these mel
out without some such motive.

AN EIGHTY Foor COAL VEIN.
Iii Now Being Worked IN the Oregon
Short Line

Horace |. Meyer. manager OF a net
coal enterprise in Uinta county, was il
town on business yesterday and called al
THE LEADER office in company with
Ralph Friend whose ranch is in the same
vicinity.
The coal mine is about three miles from
Hams Fork on the Oregon Short line
and the coal company has built a road to
connect. They have established a little
town which is known as Adaville. The
work being done is more in the nature of
development than production and has
been in progress about a year. Mr..
Meyer says that they have struck the
largest coal vein known in the world, it
being about eighty feet thick. About
thIrty-five men are now at work and 1000
tons Of coal have been shipped from the
mines, chiefly into Idaho and Oregon.
The enterprise Is backed BY wealthy
Eastern people, onespf whom is ex-Mayor
Wickham of New York, who recently
passed through Cheyenne. 1t is the in
tention to continue the development work
with a much bigger force in the spring
and thus add another very important
element to the of Wyoming.

AN ENRAGED COOK.
He Turns Upon an Assistant With
a StiIetto
And Stabs Him Twice in the Lungs
Perhaps Fatally.
The Cook at Large ard His Victim
in the Hospital.

A bloody fight took place at the war
rem Live Stock company's role creek
ranch Saturday morning. WINCH IN all
nrobab;l;tv will cost one of the partici,
n,nts his life and place upon the other
the stigma of a murderer.
The fight was between Burt Hubbard
and Bob Muldroom, and occurred over
some triHinR affair, and the bloody deed
was enacted which may cause muldroom
to lose his life before any OF the persons
present recognized the seriousness of the
tragedy.
1t was, in what Is known in cowboy
parlance, rounding up time" at the
Warren ranch and a number OF extra
men were there to assist in that work.
Some OF the boys" told Muldroom, who
had had some experience as a cook, to
help Hubbard, who is the regular cook,
as there was an extra amount of work to
be done. Hubbard. instead OF taking
this as a kindness, seemed to become wild
with iniuriated jealousy. He seemed to
think that Muldroom was to succeed him
as cook at the ranch. He therefore had
1t in" for the newcomer.
In preparing the morning meal Satur
day, Hubbard is said to have used al
sorts OF blasphemous epithets toward
Muldroom. The latter is extremely hard
of hearing and perhaps that accounts for
the fact that the two hostile cooks did not
come to blows even sooner than they did.
Muldroom' deafness seemed to increase
Hubbard's anger. so he yelled at the top
of his voice to Muldroom. who was in the
act of pouring out some -four into a tray:
Put that down you =" winding up
with a food OF blasphemy. At this
Muldroom understood his hostile COM
panion and Immediately threw down the
-four bag and stepping up to Hubbard
dealt him a blow with his fist.
The blow perhaps stunned Hubbard Q
little, but did not knock him down. In'
stead of striking Muldroom. he fshed out
an Italian suletto and thrust it into the
right breast of his antagonist with terrible
force. He evidently thought he had
completed his work. for he hurriedlv LETT
left the camp. A physician was sum
moned with all possible dispatch, while
Muldroou. wolterinR in his life's blood
was lifted to a couch.
1t was found that the ~stiletto had pen
etrated the right breast and severely Gu
both lungs. The wounded man wal
brought TO the hospital in this city WHERE
he now lies in an exceedingly critical con
ditIon.
The Whereabouts of the would be mur

The Comedy ..Dr. BILL,

The first presentation of DR.. Bill in
this city was given at the Columbia last
evening. 1t was heralded as a great
London success and in drawing power
will probably receive a similar verdict In
this city. From a dramatic standpoint,
however, it is neither better nor worse than
plays Of its kind brought from abroad. 1t
belongs to the farce-comedy class and as
such it must be considered. To expect
Conference, n%aturalness. or any special
literary merit of it would be too exactiul
in this day of light and iarcical stage bus
mess. In the hands OF a common place
company, there would, in fact, be very
little to say Of it, but as introduced last
evening it was immensely amusing and a
popular success. The kangaroo dance
received a number of encores. = Chicago
