On being appealed to some time ago
by the Archduke Joseph, the Austrian
emperor gave him permission to act with
regard to the gypsies in Hungary as he
thought best. The archduke, who is the
friend of these wild people, founded the
colony of Tsigan, in the neighborhood
of his estate of Alosuth. He built them
sixty small houses for sixty families and
made them apply their energies to agri-
culture and the trades. He named a
youth of twenty strong, tall and hand
some-as their 'woiwode," and selected
q pretty girl for his wife.
After a course of religious instruction
the pair were christened, and a few days
ago their marriage took place in the
Church of Alosuth. The archduke and
his managers were the witnesses. Tho
archduke woro the dress of a gypsy
"~woiwode," and, according to Romany
custom, carried a tall bamboo staff, with
an enormous nosegay and some brilliant
drapery.-London News.

BOGUS CHECK VICTIMS.
They Cash Forged Checks and the
Thief Disappears.
Hardin. Harnish, Gerachty and Mrs.
Kimme the Losers.

Forgers, burglars and highwavmen
struck Cheyenne many months ago and if
one is to Judge by the successful schemes
practiced upon her u%nsuspectipg people it
can be truthiully said they have decided
to permanently stay here. Yesterday
came to view another series of forgeries.
For downright cussedness they cannot be
surpassed ever BY those dastardly swInd-
lers and forgerers White, who duped a
Cheyenne business man, and Taylor y
who forged checks upon the Stock Grow
ers' National bank and duped a number of
Colorado and Nebraska banks with them.
The man whom THE LEADER presents to
its readers this morning is named John
Stewart and he halls from Montucellio,
N. Y. That is where he said he formerly
lived and his story is corroborated by a
hack driver named GerachtY, who knew
him at that place and who is now IN
ployed by Sloan & Shafer to drive a
wagon aud sell milk. Stewart has been
in Cheyenne for some time. but has beeu
idle most of that time.
He recently applied to Benjamin j.
Hardin, manager of the Singer Sewing
Machine agency in Cheyenne, for work.
Mr.. Hardin told him he could not use
hun and would not bire him. This was
the last seen OF Stewart bv Mr.. Hardin,
who went East for a few days. Stewart
went the same day and forged a
ahooL r.. 500 sn a;nn;nn ,ba ra~a
cept the correct initials, of Mr.. Hardin to
it. Gerachty, the hack driver, who had
befriended him scores OF times while he
has been loafing in Cheyenne, was the
first victim. Stewart asked Gerachty to
cash the check. as he knew no one in the
city but him tGerachty) aud the banks
had all closed tor the day. Gerachty
Accommodated Stewart by advancing him
the sun named in the check, 500 SO.
Stewart wen stayed around Gerachty for
several days afterward, evidently knowing
that Mr.. Hardin. whose name he had
forged to the bogus check. was out of the
city.
He sailed in to nave a good time and
during the next few days he forged a
number of checks. Oue of these calling
for $l2 was forged with Mr.. Shaver's
name signed to it and cashed at Har1ish's
saloon on Sixteenth street. Another was
upon the Western hotel for the sum Of
$40. He Is also said to have secured
about $50 at the Capital saloon. but Mr.
Hynds is in Salt Lake and this part of
the story can not he vouched for.
Stewart has not been seen Tor several
days and it is thought he has left town.

On the Monday following Christmas
two women were noticed in one of the
large stores strolling along in front of
the bric-a-brac counter, picking up, ex-
aiming and pricing with true anteholi-
day indecision and effort. poor wom-
en-" thought the observer, .'they are
still possessed by the troubled spirit OF
Christmas shopping" but a nearer APP
proach showed the falsity of the impress
sion. One of them was saying to her
companion, ''ITl take this vase, which
with the letter basket and that pair of
bottles makes three toward next years
list. What a saving of money and
strength to buy presents a year ahead /
made up my mind last week l should
never be caught in the dreadful tolls of
such a situation as that in which l was
placed by the rain of Thursday. | shall
not stop today until at least a dozen of
1925 presents are selected" Which is
certainly taking Santa Claus very de-
cidedly by the forelock.-Her Point Of
View in New York Times.

GOLD HILL PROSPECTS,.
A Clean Up TO be Made of the Downel
Mill Hun.

$500
o. T. Burns. arrived in this city last
evening from Gold Hill and like all Others
from that elevation he breathes a strong
spirit of hope all along his pathway. He
says the snow storm there ten days ago
was a very heavy one and that the beauti-
full fell to the depth of two feet on the
level. The ground is now covered to a
depth of eight feet on the level with the
heavy February SHOWS yet to come.
The Downey stamp mill is pounding
away night and day on ore from the
State of Wyoming mine. The main shaft
10 this mine is down forty five feet with
drifts running either way. 1t is not
known when the clean up from this ore
will be made. but it will undoubtedly be
made within the next week. The plates
in the mill are covered with gold and it
is confidently expected that between
5000 % $4,000 will be cleaned up.
This will give the amp the backbone it
has needed.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES.
A Few Hours Pleasantly Spent in
Listening 10 Them.

A fairly large number of visitors
Cheyenne high school. At 2:30 sharp all
the pupils and most of the visitors were
in their seats and everything went along
as regular as clock work from that time
until the high school choir sang Come to
the Fair" the last song. The first thing
upon the programme was "O'er the
Waters which was sung by the choir.
Then Alfred Matthews delivered a
defamation on the American Navy"
His auditors gave the young speaker
wrapt attention, both on account of his
eloquent manner OF speaking and possibly
because of the late embrogIio with Chile.
Anna Hecht then read a composition
upon the Life of King Alfred" Blind
in One Eye was the subject of an ora
ton by Mamie Thompson, while Eliza
beth Thomas affirmed and Emma Cazau-
bon denied that Mature is More Pleas
ing than Art" Maud MEG regor then
delivered an Grafton upon "Fanaticism."
and John McUlvan delivered a patriotic
grafton. The Happy Miller was then
sung by the female choir. The most hu-
morous feature of the exercises was a very
~cleverly prepared and telicltiously dellv-
cred composition by Miss JASMINE
Glafcke entitled The Extravaganza of
Men" The composition was very prac-
teal while it was well supplied with deli
cate sarcasm Miss Glafcke showed re-
markable self possession and sat down
amid a storm of applause.
Miss Gertrude Morgan then delivered
an grafton on Shakespeare's Hamlet. ~
Miss Morgan has an excellent voice for
public speaking and makes a decidedly
good appearance upon the platform
Her Grafton showed careful preparation
Other speakers were Misses Edith Snow,
Mile Myers and Florence jerks. One
grave mistake noticeable 10 some of the
speaker was that in reading they never
once raised their eyes to meet those of
their auditors and an other is the ten
deGcy of some t~houghtless pupils to
laugh at any discontinue Of their fellow
pupils.
Next Friday afternoon at 2:30 a lecture
upon the subject of "Irri0ation in Wyo-
ming will be delivered befbre the school
BY State Engineer Mead.

THE PRESIDE EMIT IMPOSED UPON
A Birdie a to Have Been Made
From the Hair of Gen. Grants
Horse, Wasn't.
[Omaha Bee.J

The pretty little tale told about Col.
Colby presenting to President Harrison a
bride made from the hair of Linden Tree
has been spoiled by a Lincoln paper,
which asserts that deception has been
practlced. Linden Tree" says the mar
rator, would be bald of name or tail had
he been plucked to make a bride for the
president, but he is not bald. The bride
came in another way. Out at the Wyo-
ming peDiteniiary work has been scarce
and the prison contractor has allowed
TRUSTEES to go out from the walls and
scalp dead ponies on the plains left by
the cowboys. The tails of the dead ponies
were taken into the pen where the con
tractors have been making hair brides in
large numbers. These have been taken
east, even SO far as Washington, and
sold. and as Gen. Colby is fertile in re-
sources. he saw his opportunity. A
bride was purchased in color much the
same as Linden Tree. Today the presi-
dent is cherishing, more or less, a bride
that, while accompanied BY IN eloquent
speech as to its noted origin, has, in fact,
no greater pedigree than that 1t came
from a dead broncho left upon the plains
Of Wyoming within reach of the workmen
in the penitentiary OF that state"

..THE LIGHT so sHINED.,,
The Reporter Also Kan Hut There
Was no Fire.

Those who happened to be out of bed
about 4 O'Clock yesterday morning saw a
superlatively beautiful spectacle. The
aurora borealis. shone away to the north
ward like the resplendent hues OF an
early sunrise. The printers who mechan-
cally make THE LEADER we're just going
home. A couple of reporters also were
vending their way to their couches. See
ing the magnificent hues of the far-away
northern sky, the reporters naturally
jumped TO the conclusion that
some ones residence 10 East CheY-
enne was burning. They rushed up the
street and brought back a quota Of tired
printers, to set up" the report of the
fire. while the reporters ran about two
miles hunting for it. Then 1t occurred
to them that it was the aurora borealis,
popularity called the Northern lights"
The printers were dismissed and the re-
porters went to their homes the back
way" and, to put it mildly, concluded
they had had a wild goose chase"
