HE STOLE A WATCH.
Joe Smith Takes HIS Boon Compan-
IONS Time Piece and Is Now
In jail.

In Justice CAROLS court yesterday
Joseph Smith was found guilty Of stealing
or rather robbing a travelling man Of his
watch. The facts as disclosed by the evil
dence are as follows: Smith is a one
armed, tin-horn giye-me-a-quarier sort OF
duffer. The man whom be unceremon-
iouslv robbed gives his name as Rumsey.
He Is on his way to Seattle, Wash, and
besides having a small amount of money
and a ticket to Seattle in his pocket, he
had a silver watch.
Smith, Rumsey and a good many boon
companions were thrown together early
the evening before and all OF them drank
deep. drank hearty and drank long of the
cup that cheers" and SO far as reports
have come in there are a good many con-
frmations that it also Undertakes exceed
ingly we'll At any rate Rumsey filled up
TO the brim and SO did Smith. The for
mer filled up with red eyed rye and the
latter filed up (his pockets) with Rum
sey's watch and chain and his money and
other little things that did not amount to
much. Smith was caught taking Rum
sey's pocket book between the Inter
Ocean hotel and the Union Pacific depot.
The other members of the party made
HIM give the pocket book back to Rum
sey.
Smith very politely did SO without a
murmur and as meekly as a billy goat
said that he was only ''monkeying with
his pard."
When Rumsey arrived at the depot he
found his watch was also gone. He mott
fed Depot Policeman John Nowlan of
the steal and told him who had been
''monkeyipg" with him. Officer Nowlan
at once hunted up the fellow and placed
him under arrest. In taking him to the
Jail he claimed he did not have the watch
and when he caught the officer off his
guard he dropped the watch upon the
sidewalk. Officer Nowlan picked it up
with the remark: I'm onto you old
boy"
Smith vas taken before Judge Carroll
yesterday and, of course, found guilty
and sentenced to thirty days in the
county jail. The justice explained that
he would have held the prisoner to the
district court but he thought it would
cause a useless expense and he would con-
slider the crime as hat of petit larceny
and punish it with thirty days imprlson-
ment.

1T WAS A GREAT GO.
Latest PLAY Received with
Shouts of Applause.

Notwithstanding all that has been said
in praise of a Teras Steer and Its genuine
comedy characteristics it is nevertheless a
tarce-comedy, pure and simple. it may
be better in construction and have the
rudiments of a plot but farce-comedy is
still its proper designation. This is not
said with the purpose of detracting In the
least from its merits in its own particular
line.
After having witnessed a performance
OF the play one can readily see whv it
should have been received with such i'm
mense favor in the East. 1t is well put
on the stage; there is much wit and some
genuine humor in its lines and it is car
ried through with unnistakeable vim.
The large company, almost without ex-
c%eption, Is extremely competent and has
evidently been selected with discriminating
care. Some specialties, such as the negro
songs by the American quartette, we have
never seen equaled on any stage. The
play was hugely enjoyed from start to
finish by the large audience at the opera
house last evening.
Tim Murphy rounds out the character
of the Texas cattle king who has been
elected to congress with grotesaue ability.
Miss Flora Walsh showed surprising i'm
provement in her acting and was as ex-
quisite in appearance as the most critical
could crave. Will Fl. BRAY, as the col
ored statesman, added racy humor to
several scenes, while maj. Yelrs"
method of expressing his applause evoked
shouts of laughter. A Cheyenne audi
ence has seldom been more thoroughly
amused.

An Eastern exchange says of Patti
Rosa: with Lolita in retirement there
is no one who can even divide supremacy
in this line of work with Patti Rosa.
Her superior ability has been recognized
in other lands. She has to her credit a
record of forty weeks played in England
and nineteen of those In London alone.
In that city 1t became the fashion among
club people and fashionable society to go
to the Strand theater to see the little
American. Her present season has been
the most successful she has ever had and

record of crowded houses.

SENTENCED TO HANG.
The Supreme Court Aflrms the
Finding of the District Court.
Charley Miller May be Hanged on
Friday, April ~, Next.
He Receives His Sentence Without
Apparent Interest.

Unless the chief executive of the state
interiors the last chapter in the evcntful
if brief history OF Charles Miller, the
boy murderer will be closed. The su-
preme court of the state yesterday refused
to grant a new trial in his case. affirming
the decisions of the court below and sup
porting the verdict of the Jury. To save
any question that might be raised, before
fixing the date of the execution, Sheriff
Kelley was ordered to bring Miller into
court. In a short time officer and
prisoner arrived. The boy looked as
though he has not vet recovered from the
effects of his recent attempt to Escape,
but manifested the same supreme IN
difference to the proceedings 10 his case
which has characterized his actions
throughout the entire matter.
Your case has been heard by the su-
preme court" said Chief Justice Groes-
beck, when Miller stood up. They have af-
frmed the judgment of the court below;
that is, they have decided that the SEN
tence should be carried into effect. Have
you anything to say as 10 why the SEN
tence should not be carried into effect?"
The only response was a faint negative.
Judge Conway then proceeded with the
judgment. The Judgment of the court
below is in all things confirmed. and the
court now appoints Friday, the 22nd day
of April. A. ID. 1892. Tor the execution
of the sentence pronounced by the court
below" The prisoner then resumed
his seat without having at any time
evinced the slightest emotion.
The opinion OF the court. rendered by
Judge Conaway, is emphatic in lis ap-
proval of all steps taken in the court be-
low. 1t reviews the various points raised
by counsel for the prisoner, and holds
that those properly presented are not
well taken. 1t then goes into the evidence.
and concludes in this respect that no Jury,
with any regard for their oaths. could
have acted otherwise. 1t remarks. incl
dentally, that the evidence shows that
Miller has little regard for the truth"
Chief Justice Groesbeck delivered a
concurring opinion, devoted to a review
of the Instructions given by Judge Scott,
complained OF BY the defendant. holding
that they were proper. Both op,aions
refer to the defense of insanity as having
failed in every particular.
