C U
Some of this Stolen Goods Found IN
HIS PosessIoB.

Jobo Saupp is nov in the county jail
and over him hangs the grave charge of
burglary. Since the beginning of the
new year more than a dozen burglaries
have been committed in Cheyenne. The
most of the places burglarized we're
stores OF various sorts. The burglsries
were nothing serious for the property
taken was generally of small value but it
was the principal of the thing that
aroused the indignation. On the 29th of
January last John Harrington's clothing
store and the Black Flag were burRlarized.
Ever since the police have been engaged
trailing down the burglars. Suspicion
strongly pointed to Saupp. a former en-
ploye of the Union Mercantile company.
One OF the reasons for this was the fact
that soon after Mr.. Harrington's store
was burglarized Saupp suddenly disap-
peared from the city.
the other night the Union Mercantile
company's store was burglarized. The
police began to suspect him. The person
who made his entry into the Union Mer-
camille compauy's store had slightly cut
his hand and a little blood still chung to
the broken window pan Officer Ingalls,
noted this and made it a point to see
Saupp. He MANAGED to see his thumb.
and behold a notch was cut in it which
looked as though it had been cut with
glass or some other rough instrument
ingalls, put this and that together"
He then without any preliminaries placed
Saupp under arrest upon suspicion. At
first Saupp ~strenuously denied all
knowledge of the affair. In a little time.
however. Saupp broke down aud confessed
that he had, in company with an IN
known man, entered Harrington's store
but will admit nothing further. His
valise was Their ransacked and about $25
worth of fine handkerchiefs and neck
wear was found and they were turned
over to their owner. Saupp was turned
over to Sheriff Kelley and now ~languishes
behind the bars of the county Jail.

THE orHEn SIDE OF 1T.


To the EAitor q The Leader.
CHEYENNE, March love wish to say
q few words through your paper in ex-
PLANTATION of the so-called grocers' combi-
nation that we have heard so much about
during thelAst few days We are asked
every day By our customers the question.
why is 1t that you charge US 30 much
more for fruit than we oansbus il for in
Denver2" Our answer invariably is, be-
cause Denver gets its fruit by the car
load and we have to buy of them and psy
local freight or express from Denver to
Cheyenne. Upon investigation, we found
from the railroad and express companies
that there is aboute car load offruit per
week brought from Denver to Cheyenne
by local freight and express. Why not
buy our fruit by the car load and get it at
Denver prices and save this local freight
and express which by the present arrange
ments we are forced to pay27 This is just
what We are irving to do.
The commission firm of Clark Il Brewer
have been doing q brokerage and COM
mission business for some time on ailim-
tied capital. not enough to handle the
fruit business in car lots. They solicited
capital from several of our best citizens,
as well Is from some of the grocers. who
took a few hundred dollars worth Of
stock, part Of them as firms and the rest
as individuals. The experience has been
that . firm that does a retail business
canno get the support of its competitions
in wholesale trade. Therefore we thought
it would suit all merchants to have the
fruit trade handled by a concern n o in
the retail trade This plan will not in
crease the profits of the merchants. but
will reduce the price of goods to the CON
sumner. which is the object we desire.
One business man stated in your paper
this morning that he did not want to
injure his credit in the east by Joining the
80 called combination. We may not have
construed his inference correctly, but
would state to the public that if they will
take the trouble to look up the CONNER
cial standing of any of the parties inter
ested in the commission company they
will fiud 1t to be quite as good as that of
Mr.. Covert. K. s. JOHNSTON.

Sent TO a Reformalorx.

George II. and John F. Phillips, the
ii year-old SON of Mr.. Phillips OF Chey-
enne, were yesterday sent to the reform
school They we're assigned to the
Golden, Colo. district, and will leave
CHEYENNE for that place in all probability
next Sunday. The bows, so their father
claims. were simply unmanaeeable, not
only disreRardins paternal orders, but
even inconvenlencinR themselves to dis
obey him. The boys say their father was
30 tyranical and strict with them that
they could not longer live with him.
They are, in street parlance. holy ter
rors" and the change will doubtless do
them q great deal of good.

WATER RreHT QUESTIONS.
Some weightv Ones Under Consider
alton DY the State Board.

The state bosrdof water commissioners
tackled the water question again yester-
day morning and staid with it until a late
hour in the evening.
In the early part of the forenoon Judge
Lacey appeared before the commission
and briefly explained the status of the
water rights laws. he IN other words,
discussed the question as to whether or
not q person has the right to barter water
to another. The points involved. Judge
Lacey held, were:
l.. Has the owner of water rights the
right to transfer it to another party for a
stipulated price; if he is allowed that
right. BY whom was it granted2
2. What effect does the right Of a prior
ownership of such water rights have upon
intervening sppropriators2
Judge Lacey held that under the terri
torial laws the owners of certain water
rights had the power to sell and convey
such waters, and that notwithstanding
the fact that such bartering in waters were
forbidden. the rights obtained under the
territorial laws we're not repealed. and
that they held good in the present cases.
No decision was reached BY the COM
mission and they have now judge Lacey's
argument and the evidence bearing upon
the case under advisement and will decide
upon it whenever they come to a salts
factory conclusion.
The cases of adjudication of water
rights on Lake. Cedar and Brush creeks
in Carbon county. all of which are
tributaries of the Platte river, have been
carefully CONT over by the commission
and in all probability will not be decided
upon for some time yet. The board will
very likely be in session for at least the
rest of this month.
