hearse and had the body conveyed
to their undertaking rooms.
When found the body was still warm
At the undertaking ron. m in
quest was held by Coroner Maehi and
Drs. Steckman, Crawford, Small
Coukrite and Drescell. They found
evidence that the girl had been out
ragged before she was murdered.
The doctors also found that she Wa.
in the family way and that the foetu.
was four months old.
The doctors disSected down the integu.
ment and fascia of the upper and an.
terror part of the neck. They found
an incised wound made bv some sharp
instrument Just TO the lett of the me-
dian line of the chin and sternal notch
passing through the superior carotid
triangle.
1t passed through the left common
carotid artery and stopped just back
of the trachid.
CORNERS JURY.
The following coroner's jury was
sworn and convened at , p. m.
F. $. Arnold, f.. +. Johnston, Jas.
Kingsley, VIM. Courtney, Frank
Newton.
At $50 the jury convened in the
county court room and it was decided
that the inquisition should be strictly
private. The public wis exclude!
and each witness taken in and exam
ined separately.
THEORIES.
As yet all conjectures concerning
the murderer or the cause of the muir
der, are but conjectures. That the
girl was out riding Sunday evening
with some young man il certain. He
called for her about o'clock and was
seen with her at $3.50. There the clue is
dropped. Who the young man was has
not been learned as yet. But he can
not remain hidden long. The fact
that he has not come forward and told
what he knew causes suspicion to
rest upon him. But whether
he was murderer or not
il of course unknown.
One theory is that she accused the
young man Of being the father of her
unborn child and he decided TO put
her out of the way. But this would
hardly tally with the fact that she had
been outraged.
This latter weuld Indicate that she !
was murdered by some one with whom
she had not been intimate.

RUMOIsS AFLOAT.

Ii was extensively rumOred this
morning that Robinson, the negro, had
confessed, and had sent for Sheriff
Smith to come to him. Sheriff Smith
denied this. however, and stated that
Robinson had given No satisfaction in
his answers to the various questions

WAS NOT OUTRAGED.

The story that the murdered girl
had been outraged was denied to-day.
The evidence was very light in the first
place and was caught at on the spur
of the moment when all was excite
ment over the case. 1t has since been
decided that the slight abrasion was
nothing more than what might have
been caused by undue intimacy with
one or more men that night.

toned Miss Glare.
ooh! you can't--you surely can't
mean Miss Miggs?" cried Josie
Thayer.
"Ofcoursenot, =" said Eta Wright,
decidedly; "this lady was named
Hagermann."
"But, my DEAR" returned Miss
Glare, "you remember her mother
married again. The second hus-
band was named Miggs. That was
another Of Julia's sacrifices. She
took the name Miggs' to please her
mother, though she disliked il very
much"
"Then it was our Miss Miggs

20, girls! how shamefully we have
treated her.
"And we have been so annoying
to-day" said Eta, penitently.
at is useless to spend time in
vain regret over the past, my dears.
We can only make up for mistakes
bydoing betterin thefuture. When
you are again tempted to Judge
person, remember that there may
be circumstances which excuse the
faults that you are SO quick to no
tice."
Meanwhile Miss Miggs sat alone
in her room grieving over her fail
ures in school work. 1t had been
an exceedingly trying day, and she
had lost her temper a number Of
times. Howcould she control those
large scholars and win respect from
the little ones? Furthermore, how
could she bear to have gentle Elsie
come and witness her impotence
and lack of success? These ques-
tions still remained unsettled when
she started YEARLY to school the
following day.
But during the first session it
seemed to her that she had some
how solved the problems after all.
The girls had never behaved so well
and the boys appeared to profit by
their EXAMPLE. In fact, teaching
had never before been so pleasant
and easy; she did not lose her tenn
per once through the day, and al
threeo' clock, when her scholars bic
her good afternoon pleasantly, the
poor teacher wondered if she coulC
possibly be dreaming. But no
there was the same state of affairs
day after day; the girls and boys
who had been most troublesome
seemed to be making a decided eff
: fort to behave well; there was
marked improvement in the con
duct of the whole school, and whel
Elsie appeared to take charge o
the little ones, Miss Miggs wa
proud to introduce the scholars t
her. AS for Miss Elsie, the girl
: Immediately fell in love with he
, charming face and manners. "Sh

band are not engaged in talking
against their neighbors," she said
gravely.''
There was deep silence for a
moment; then Edith Lyle asked
thoughtfully: "Miss Clara, do you
think a school-teacher ought to be
cross?p
"And scold half the time?" add
ed another girl.
"And wear shabby dresses?" said
a;third.
"And fix her hair in the very.

was. the question of a fourth.

such person" said Miss Clara, quiz

nings, boldly.
The other girls looked up anxi-
ously to see what reply Miss Clara
would make to these assertions.
Miss Clara was the very picture of
neatness, and sweetness, and gen.
tleness. This her Sabbath-school
girls had repeatedly affirmed. In
fact, they believed, that she was ey-
erything that is requisite to make
up the perfect lady. They knew
she could not sanction carelessness
Of dress or hasty temper, and sure
~ she must side with them in this
case.
Much to their disappointment,
she quietly dismissed the subject
by promising to take it up at some
future time. "But now to business
girls. How many aprons are We
going to make this afternoon"
"Ohl ever so many if you will

Many palaces and places of historic in
terest were spoken of by Judge Merrill, but
an ordinary newspaper would not contain
all the good stories about each. for each
has a distinct and legendary history Of Its
own. The cathedral at Pueblo, for in

little babes. The hospioio (hospitaI at
Guadalupe has 100 boys and girls ranging
in age from a month to 81 years. All are
scrupulously clean and educated both
mentally and physically and the entire 100
are as kind and seemingly happy as il

AT WORK.
Two Places Entered During the Same
Night.

Burglars entered the Vendome THINKS
day night and secured a dozen SOLID SILVER
coffee spoons and about a dozen tea spoons
besides other smaller articles which they
could easily carry. They would in all
probability have secured more but Mr..
Ed VreelaRd happened to come in about
IL o'clock and hearing some kind of noise
in the dining room ran out just in time to
catch a glimpse of a man disappearing
through an open window. Ed gave chase
and although he is somewhat of a sprinter
himself he was outclassed and was DIS
tanced in two blocks. There were two OF
the burglars and investigation proved
that they must have entered the side door
which had been left unlocked for MIR.

light of matches.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Henry G. Hay was awakened by a strange
noise at his home on Twenty first and
Ferguson streets. Turning on the electric
light he discovered a burglar in the hal
way and grabbing a revolver gave him
chase. The man darted down the stairs
and disappeared through the open street
door. The burglar got away with Harry

These tests prove TO obtain values depth
must be had at least some distance below
all disturbances. Now the work so far
done on Silver Crown is all in the cap or
in country rock and for such work shows
good values. some of which certainly war
rant farther development with a prospect
of good returns. All of the Jaw Bone
gulch mines certainly will yield good
shipping ores at a fair depth.
There is one more step to be taken be-
yond concentrating on the iron pyrite
ores and this Is to roast out the sulphur.
This being done you have a product that
every smelter In America uses. While In
doing this you are sure to pay for roasting
and you save 25 per cent on freIghts.
This can be done in Cheyenne and the
plants connected with a sampling works
and testing mill. Such a plant would
meet the requirements of the day and
would certainly pay well.
The capital of this mighty mineral en-
pire. it seems to me, lis the proper place
for this testing plant in connection with
the labratory, fully competent to cope
with any mineral conundrum that may
arise, and certainly it is a necessity IN or

sibly and practically be developed and ]
will also add that if Cheyenne does moi
supply this want the requirements Of
the industry will plant 1t elsewhere il

MANY low grade ores be made to pay.

the establishing Of this plant in Cheyenne

The remains of the late Never He'll
man were laid away in the Jewish ceme-
terry at Pleasant Hill thus afternoon with
imposing ceremonies. During the fore
moor the body lay In the north parlor of
the family residence, where it was viewed
the last time by hundreds of friends. The
room was literally lined with floral trib-
utes of the most magnificent description
and the atmosphere of the house was
heavy with their perfume. At the foot
of the casket stood a tall hook and ladder
of lilies and white roses, the offering of
the veteran firemen, of whom the
deceased was a member. There were
scores of other tributes.
AT l o'clock. the hour set for the flu.
neral, the spacious rooms and halls were
30 crowded with friends that the ushers
had difficulty in finding room for the num-
bers anxious to have a last look at the
familiar face. DR.. Rosenau delivered an
eloquent address over the casket at the
house, eulogizing the dead as a loving
husband and father. a faithful and con-
s~cientious Jew. a loyal and patriotic citl-
zen and a man of honest heart and integ-
rity OF purpose, after which the coffin

Judge Homer Merrell and Supt. @.

the land Of the famous old Montasumas,
of Cortex, of Macmillan. Diaz, Spanish
osthsdrals. bull fights, of orange groves
and poems.
They left Cheyenne one month ago to-
day. They made the trip in Supt- Wur-
tele's private car and were rendered every
conceivable courtesy by the Mexican off
cials, civil, military and railway. They
returned last evening and were enthnsi-
astic in their praise of the treatment
they received.
judge Merreu was seen last evening by
q LEADER reporter at the Inter Ocean
hotel. 1t would be impossible to trans
cribe the wonderfully interesting discrip-
tive story the judge tells in an article of
any kind. He said;
THE first stop We made was at the old
town of Queretosa, where Macmillan was
shot. We visited the scene of the i'll
fsted emperor's death. There are three
mounds and Macmillan and his two
companions, who were doomed to death,
were ali placed in front OF a mound. with
Macmillan in front of the center mound.
thus giving him the place OF honor.
When the doomed ruler and his com
panlons were thus. stationed a platoon of
soldiers were dra wn up and it was de
cided by the exeoutiouers to give Maxi
milan the right to say when they should
shoot. When the ex ruler commanded
'6rel' the other Two were killed. but he
tell over only wounded and exclaimed in
Spanish: oh. unnerciful mani he
was then shot through the stomach and
head. ~.
From the historic town of Overetora
we went to Guadsl whers we spent some
time in sight seeing. We travelled over
the historic battle fields of Chapultapec
