wyoming Cattle Thieves.

CASPER, Wyo., April 12.-Fighting
between the invading army ofdetectives,
employed by the big cattle companies,
and the so-called rustiers now seem to
be general along Powder river, the army
being broken up into squads. The
militia has been ordered to be prepared
to march to the front Immediately. A
man from Riverside reports that Sheriff
Angus, of Johnson county, swore in 100
deputies and went out to arrest the force
sent out by the cattlemen, and that the
sheriff tried to take them into custody.
Twenty-eight of the regulators and
eighteen of the deputies were killed.
Every man in the town is a walking ar
senal, and the excitement is intense
Doc. Williamson, from Big Horn basin,
reports great fall of snow there Friday
night, and that it is impossible for the
army to get in there unless they &c. in on
snowshoes. He says they don't expect
any trouble in the Bonanza part of the
basin.

THE DANGER OF GIVING NOTES
Anew Phase in the Methods Used by

THE CLEVELAND MAN IS IN PRISON.
Notes Duplicated by Forgery Paid by
Persons Whose Names We're
Signed to Them.

CLEVELAND, o., April 13.-The case of
B. s. Barrett, swindling piano dealer,
now in the penitentiary, has made any
amount of trouble, and suits upon notes
given by his customers for pianos have
brought out new phase in the swindle.
The genuine notes and some of the
forged ones were sold by him to the
Euclid Avenue bank. Barrett kept
forged duplicates of nearly all the notes,
and when his customers, ignorant of his
having sold them, called to pay INSTALL
ments he gave them receipts and indor-
sed the amount on the back of the notes
heldFby him. The bank sold the notes
to j. G. Ellis after Barrett,s flight. for
$500 and charged $15, 900 to its profit and
loss account. Ellis began suit on sew
eral notes, alleging that as the paper
was held by the bank, payment to Bar
rett could not be regarded as payment of
the note. One victim. Mrs. Cunning
ham, who holds receipts from Barrett,
showing that she has paid $40 for $3.50
piano, was sued on note for $13O,
which may have been forged. Two
notes against her were held by Ellis; one
for $40 and the other for $3.50. A dis
pute arising at the trial as to whether
one of the notes was not genuine, it was
decided to take Barrett's deposition at
the penitentiary. Barrett on being
shown the two notes, tore up the one
for $40, which he declared a forgery,
and handed back the one for $50, which
he said is genuine. The attorneys spoke
of the snarl as something frightful, and
piano buyers who failed to keep their
receipts are in much trouble. In one OF.
two cases heard of, Barrett's customers
took up notes bearing their own forged
signature without discovering the fact,
while the genuine notes were held at the
bank and are now being sued upon
The individual notes are generally for
amounts from $50 to 15o, but the aggre-
gate is over SIS, 200.

Southern Floods.

New ORLEANS, April 13.-The destruc-
ton of human lives and property by the
floods in northern Mississippi is appall-
ing. Hundres of lives are lost. Last
night one man rowed several miles in
the dark on the river with twenty-six
bodies he picked up. The flood came
suddenly, and no one was prepared. All
sorts of crafts are being improvised to go
to the rescue of the survivors perched on
the highest ground without food or shell
ter. The loss of property is over 81 ,0O0,-
900. The citizens of Loundes county,
will petition Congressman Allen to ask
government aid, as their own means are
inadequate. The loss of livestock is be-
yond computing but will be enormous

vinanious collection of Horses.

CLEVELAND, o., April 13.-This morn
ing in answer to an advertisement for a
horse to represent the drunkards faith
full brute in the play of A Temperance
Town, about a dozen of the most villain
GUS looking horses ever seen in the city
were hitched in front of the Lyceum
theatre. Theywere ringboned, knock
kneed, spawned and dirty. Most of
them had heayes and spring-halt. Their
ribs protruded like the hoops of flour
barrel and only one or two of them could
see. Up to noon the manager had not
selected an animal quite disreputable
enough to suit his purpose. The animal
finally chosen will perform an important
role in the new play.

Senator Stewart "wearied" the senate
yesterday with a silver speech.
The Columbia fair committee want
81, SOC, 900 right bad. Congress is going
to see about it.
Commercial mileage is another name
by which railways hope to inveigle con-
gress into permission for allowing cut
rates.
A lynching bee was expected in
Owyhee last night. Pete Meddin killed
w. R. Steel, in dispute over land.
The officers were guarding Meddin at
last accounts.
All is quiet in Vale. The presence of
Company F had the desired effect.
Eight militia men are kept constantly
on guard at the jail, but little fear is en-
tertained of an attempt at mob iolence.
It is expected that F company will re-
turn today in charge of the prisoners.
Another report says that an attack was.
expected last night and that the cow
boys mean business.
Representatives of the Flowery King
dom are now alarmed over the Chinese
exclusion bill. Their threats did not
create the desired reaction. 1t would
not be surprising to find a proposition
for new treaty coming from China
This treaty will be drawn upon the lines
of the Bayard treaty, which was rejected
by the Chinese government on account
of its stringency.
A well intended kick has been sent in
to the Office of the bureau of navigation,
for allowing the Mohican to be docked
in Esquimalt, Commander Ramsey
said that the navy, department was not
aware that the Mohicau was in the dock
until informed by her commander, who
was doubtless ignorant of the fact that
there was drydock at Tacoma as were
the officials of the navy department..
When the Mohican broke her false keel
| it was simply question whether she
would return to San Francisco, 800
miles, or proceed to Esquimalt. The
vessel, of course, put into the nearest
known port, where there was a dock.
Tacoma should advertise.

PORTLAND, April 13.-The outsider
who has slim idea of the expansion OF
this city, will be better informed when
an incident is related which occurred TO
the east side firemen about 4 O'Clock yes
terday morning. Some person sent in a
still alarm to chief Holmes, that a fire
had broken out in Holidays addition.
The companies ran toathe division, hav-
ing heard that the Holladay bell had
been rung. After looking some time for
the fire it was learned that fire in Van
couver had occasioned all the trouble.
Some one hearing the Vancouver bell
supposed it was nearer home. The fire.

minus their usual happy dispositions.

The Real Thing.

ASTORIA, April 13.-Boom, boom,
boom, is the uppermost word and
thought here now, since the croakers
have subsidized, with reference to railway
matters, and added additional thousands
to the valuation of their corner lots. If
the present state of things continues, we
expect to hear of investment excursions,
gotten up in the boom centers of the
west, for the object of visiting Astoria, to
find out what the real thing is like.

New York Incendfaries.

New YoRK, April l2.-The existence
of a gang of incendiaries and anarchists,
who have been starting fires in tenement
houses in Brooklyn since January, was
first demonstrated today. Two men are
under arrest. One of the accomplices of
the gang made full confession. Their
plan was to arrange with dwellers in
tenement houses who were overinsured
to burn the property for percentage of
the insurance money.

HOW TO GO TO SLEEP.
Watch Yourself and Learn the
Proper Manner.

Proper Manner.
eff YOU have never done so, watch
yourself go to Sleep" said Delsarte
priestess, "and you will be amazed to
see how tense your position is. Your
knees are drawn and Bonded, your
back is curved, the arms are held
mole or less tightly to the body and,
the fingers are Folded; the eyelids are
held shut, not allowed to droop over
the eyes, the neck is1 strained and
the head seems to touch the pillows
only at the temples. The points OF
contact with the bed are really at
temples, shoulders. hips, knees and
ankles. Now look at child sleeping.
Every muscle is relaxed, every joint is
inert and prone on the touch; his
little frame finds rest at every point.
The features are undone, so to
speak, the nose Widens, the mouth
droops. the eyelids close easily, and
with every line of expression oblitera-
ted he finds utler and complete re-
pose. That abandon makes him
fall out OF bed sometimes, such an
inert body has he become. You may
initiate him even to that degree if
necessary. Begin at your toes to re
lax, loosen your Joints and muscles,
unbend your fingers, shakeyour wrists
loose, take the curve and strain out
of your neck, 60 all to pieces, in fact,
and see how the days fatigue seems
to slip off from you and the gentle
mantle Of rest and oblivion enfolds
you Like q garment.
