Martin Brother. The remainder of the
boys will reach here today. Mr.. TurnbuIl

the visitors were paid aud nothing was
left undone hat might contribute to their
comfort Or happiness. The occasion was
made a holiday in the town. All the
stores we're closed at 10 o'clock and the
at the tournament was ex-
large. Evanston registered a

composed of men selected from the de-
,artment instead of being representatives

County Clerk Fredendall has returned
from Ogden. He says that the town has
gone wild over the new mining camp, La
Plata, where the recent rich strike of
caroonates was made. Horses and wagons
are at a premium and every one who
could get away from the town has gone
to the new camp and those still in Ogden
intend to go out and get a claim.
There is one man at the camp who is
determined not to have any one jump his
claim. He perches himself night and
day on a rock in the middle of it with a
Winchester rifle and orders everyone to
keep off. If a man even picks up a
piece of rock, the watchful ~prospector
levels his rife and orders the curiosity
seeker TO drop that stone" and the
stone Is generally dropped.
Mr.. Fredendall says that the county cor
oner, with commendable enterprise, has
removed his office from Ogden to the
camp, as nc thinks his business will soon
pick up and be brisk out there. An en-
terprising undertaken has gone into
partnership with the coroner and both oc-
cupy the same building. While ali is ex-
element the real value of the camp is
even yet not definitely known.

A LUCKY ARREST.
Picking Up a Denver Boy With
Stolen JeweIry on His Person.
II Proves to be Some of That
Spirited Away From Cheyenne.
The Property Identified and the
Youth in Jail.

Sheriff Kelley returned yesterday from
Greeley with a young prisoner and the
iewelry stolen rom the residence OF Il. F.
Glover. Most of the jewelry recovered
was identified by Mrs. Glover and returned
to her. There are several other pieces in
the lot, including a chain and some pins,
that haye not been identified as yet. 1t
has been so long since the robberies were
committed that there is but little hope of
catching any more OF the gang unless by n
lucky chance.
The boy whom Mr.. Kelley brought
back with him was captured at La Sale,
Colo, by a deputy sheriff and taken to
Greeley. The deputy saw an account of
the big haul MADE in Cheyenne by the
robbers, in the Denver papers. and had
also received a letter from Mr.. Kelley and
was on the lookout for suspicious charac-
tiers. The boy, who is in the county Jail,
gives his name as Willie McBriar and
says that his home is in Denver. and that
he lived on the corner of Colfax and
Eighth streets.
He is onlv IA years old and is a hand
some ard intelligent looking little chap,
clean and well dressed, He denies COM
plicity in the robbery and says that he has
never before been in Cheyenne. He
claims that before he left Denver he was
a substitute call boy for the Union Pacific
and that he left there and had started on
his way to Pocatello after work when he
was arrested.
He acc ounts for his possession of the
jewelry by stating that the trinkets were
given to him at La Sale bv a stranger.
He says that be was under a bridge wash
ing his clothes when the stranger, who
was young and well dressed, came up to
him and started a conversation He told
the boy that he had come from Sid
ney and gave to him an account
of a big fire there that had burnt up a
large part of the town. Taking the
iewelry from his pocket he SAID that he
had saved it from the FIRE. He gave the
how the iewelrv and it was accepted with
thanks. The stranger then left him tell
ing him that he would meet him in a few
minutes at the coal chutes. suggesting in
the meantime hat if anyone asked him
to say that he hailed from North Platte.
The boy obeyed the instructions and
said when arrested that he was from North
Platte, but after close questioning ad-
mitted that he was from Denver. The
officers watched the coal chutes but did
not catch the stranger.

Nat food WINS Latest Play at the
Opera House tonight.

lCinclnnati Enqulrer.l
The Nominee is a great go.
There are few actors so honored as is
Nat Goodwin by Cincinnati audiences.
At the Grand last evening the audience
packed the boxes, parquet, dress circle,
bolcony and gallery alike, and all who
were there were eager and anxious to
show the genial Nat that as a Cincinnati
t%avorite he is way up in g."
His new play, The Nominee, is one of
the l~iveliest OF comedies. Brimiul of fun
from the first to last. and there is not a
dull moment OF n dull line in the entire
play.
The first act is excellent, the second act
better still and the third act is with the
other two. The interest never lags, and
the fun never stops. 1t is an adoption
from the French, and the clever authors,
Gardley and Richardson. can be proud OF
their work, as a more sparkling comedy
has never been seen on the Cincinnati
boards.
The setting was of the best.
When the Nominee" and his secre-
tary drove off in their dog cart at the end
of the second act there wos a shout which
made the globes by the incandescent
lights tingle.
In the star role Mr.. Goodwin is playing
Nat Goodwin, and that is what his ad-

As the hero in A Gold Miae he gives

laughing that could be INDUCED in the
space of time allotted to the play.
Mr.. Goodwin was called at the end of
each act and at the close OF the second a
triple call. an honor which Is yerv seldom
accorded an actor in this or any other

with his ovation, for that was what it

CAMP BARBER, Aug. 25.-The weather
the last couple of days has been beautiful
and we have been thoroughly enjoying
ourselves. The nights are just cool enough
for comfortable sleeping. 1t gets pretty
hot In the daytime, but the tents afford
ample protection from the rays of the sun.
We get our mail regularly now.
Drum Major Coroa has been under the
weather.
We are informed that there is to be a
dress ball given by companies b and f
when we get back to Cheyenne.
We are proud of our two %corporals.
There are not more soldierly looking men
in the regiment.
1t is stated that there were fifty OF the
regiment in Laramie on Sunday night and
that not one of these fifty attended church.
Surgeon Barkwell is a dandy. He is
always on the lookout for our company's
good.
As the days go by company b looms up
PAW in the regiment. Every time the
regiment looms up Cheyenne's crowd
shines by comparison. In the execution
of the manual we are away ahead, but
Rock Springs about equals us in march
ing, a fact easily accounted for, as there
are quite a number of regulars with that
company. The men who are here in com
pany B size up beautifully, there not be-
Ing an inch difference in the height of the
tallest and smallest.
We are disappointed in not having had
target practice.
Our cook is a beauty. He has but one
weakness and that is a love for the ma
tional game-craps. When it comes to
rustling he never gets left. Occasionally
some of the other cooks get away with
some of his daiuties, but he always gets
back with interest.
It's hard to find a man in camp who
likes getting up at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing. To some OF the members it seems
odd to have eaten breakfast, worked W
hours and be playing pedro before 8
o'clock.

mental band gets played out pretty often.
