FEAR FOR TIE FARMER.
Republican Organs Wasting a
Great Deal of Sympathy.

Donnelly or Owen, which?
The Republican papers in various
parts of the state are giving themselves
a great deal OF concern about the ALI
ance or Peoples party. Some of them
are really very nervous over the pros
pect. They are afraid that there will
be split in the new party's ranks that
will be disastrous to its prospects. They
are given to vain and foolish imagin-
ings. The Sage's every move is con-
strued into an intimation that he and
his friends are about to deyour S. NJ.
Owen, Gen. j. III. Baker and their
friends, and the sympathetic organs
weep. A fair sample of this is the fol-

BECOMING VERY SERIOUS.
The Wyoming RustleTs Supposed
TO Have Cut the Wires.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April l7.-GeL.
Brooke, at Omaha. commanding the de-
partnent, has notified Gov. Barber that
he had been instructed by the secretary
of war 10 deliver to him tile
forty odd cattlemen now at
Fort Mckinney. No news has been
received here FOR the past twenty-fOur
hours from Johnston county. and the
rustlers are supposed to have cut the
wires 70 Buifao. Efforts have been
made to get dispatches through, but
have failed. Gov Barber is anxious TO
get communication with Fort Mckin-
ney. 1t IS now admitted that the
removal of the prisoners from
Mckinney to Douglas would DO
very hazardous, as it is certain tho
rustlers will try to kill them Oh the way.
Every nOur adds a more seriOus aspect
to the situation. The friends Of the in
vading cattlemen are sure they cannot
get justice in Wyoming except in this
city. Gov. Barber has not notified Gen.
Brooke whether ne will receive the
prisoners. Public sentiment is turning
in favor Of the rustlers.

HOW HE WORKED IT.
Snaps Check Game and How IL
Was Detected.

There was considerable wonderment
yesterday among those who read the
accounts of the arrest of Cope Shapp as
to how he was able to keep up his work
so long and still escape detection. 1t
appears now that the auditors Office
was very much behind with its work,
and tile accounts were not checked up
until the other day, when the system OF
forgery was promptly detected. Snaps
plan OF operations was very simple, and
1T is really astonishing that he did
not realize that ultimate detec-
ton was inevitable. In making
out the checks for commission
work he wrote in the correct amounts
so that he could afterward easily raise
them 10 the sums he desired Occa-
sioHally he had checks made To- dealers
in the city with whom he traded. and in
other cases he had the agents remit to
him by draft the amount In excess,
claiming such amounts were sent by
mistake. Ii was only within week
past that he was required to furnish
bond, which was given by the Missouri,
Kansas Il Texas Trust company. All
OF the shortage occurred prior 10 that
time. so that there is no liability on the
bond. 1t seems to be the current opin-
ion that the shortage will be made good
and there will be no prosecution.

bons says:
but when the very fountains of legis-

corrupt means; when the hand of bribery
is extended, and not always in vain, to our
municipal, state and national legislators;
when our law makers become the plant
tools of some selfish and greedy capital
lists instead of subscribing the interests of
the people, then, indeed, all patriotic
citizens have reason 10 be alarmed about
the future of our country. The man who
would poison the wells and springs ofthe
