THE WYOMING WAR.
Gov. Barber Writes to the johnson
County Prosecuting Attorney.
EX.COV. MOONLIGHT GIVES FACTS.


CHEYENNE. wyo., April 26.-Gov.
Barber has written the following letter
TO the prosecuting attorney of johnson
county, Wyoming, wherein the recent
cattle trouble occurred:
The men who surrendered TO the
commanding officer at Fort Mckinney
and who were delivered TO that officer
by the sheriff of your county reached
Fort ID. A. Russell near Cheyenne yes
terday under military escort and are
now confined as prisoners Mt the post.
They will be so confined and held until
you shall have had reasonable and
sufficient time within which
TO prepare and commence In
the district court OF your county
any criminal proceedings against any
of them which upon consideration you
shall deem justified and warranted by
the evidence which investigation may
disclose TO you. II is due To the admin
istration of the law and II is due TO you
that YOU make such investigation as
you shall deem proper with all diligence
and thereupon institute In the district
court for the county appropriate crimi-
nal prosecutions in order that those
against whom there exists no criminal
accusation may be released; and, fur
ther, that those against whom criminal
accusations shall be made may be at
once diligently prosecuted for whatever
crimes or violations of the law may
have been committed by them.
"The recent disturbances in your
county have apparently been of serious
nature and IL is necessary 10 the admin
istration OF Justice and due TO the pro-
lection of both life and property that
they shall receive the most careful con-
sderation and the fullest investigation
at the hands of the proper authorities;
be adequately punished and made to
appreciate and feel the supremacy of
our laws The commission of one Of
Tense begets the commission of others
and the most effective manner Of pre-
venting crime in the future Is TO
promptly prosecute and punish that
which has already occurred. The CON
ditions recently existing in your county
| have been OF such a character as TO
necessitate calm and fair but very earn
est efforts ON the part of the authorities
to maintain the law and order in that
community, and to keep all attempts
and proceedings to punish offenders en-
tirely within the channels defined by
law.
THE prisoners at Fort ID. A. Russell
will he delivered to the civil authorities
whenever the status Of prosecutions in
the Judgment of the court require IL
and order is so restored and excitement
so abated as to render IL safe TO do so,
Kindly inform me of your action in the
premises, the nature of the crimes
charged to have been committed, the
names Of the men charged and the
character of the proceedings which you
| institute

AN OLD FASHIONED DEMOCRATIC
GATHERING.

Last Saturday was a big day at

OF the campaign, and that he should
not repeat his views contained in
that address, proceeded to commend
the nomination OF NJ. Cleveland, in
view Of his established character as a
statesman of experience courage and
patriotism. He had exhibited cour.
age and patriotism in a marked de
gree by his message to congress con-
cernlng the surplus in the treasury
recommending the reduction of taxa
ton upon the people, which message
resulted IN the preparation and pas,
sage of the Mills bill by the House of
Representatives. That bill was
moderate and reasonable measure and
wonId have relieved many industries
irom unnecessary burdens, while it was
hDeral to the point of indulgence up.
on manufacturers who had been
largely protected by prior laws. He
declared that Mr.. Cleveland's renomin-
atlon this year at Chicago was not by
intrigue or management, nor the work
of ambitious politicians, but was
dictated and demanded by the demo
cratic people of the United States
For they had confidence in him. ad-
mlred his independence and courage
upon many occasions in his public
career and agreed with him heartily

Organizing a club.
Special Correspondence.

RAwLINs, Feb. LIT is perhaps not
generally known that one of the best coal
mines in the state is located but one and
one half miles southwest of Rawlins. and
is known as the Dillon niue. Seventy-ive
per sent of the coal consumed in this CITY
is taken from this mine. 1t is at present
being operated by local capital, with a
daily output of Of twenty tons, that is
frelghted in By wagons, furnishing steady
employment during the winter to from
fifteen to twenty men. Why the railroad
company will allow this solid mountain of
coal to go begging while they spend
thousands of dollars experimenting for
coal in other parts OF the state is hard to
understand, but it has come to the point
now when they will have to do something
to protect their interests or be crowded
out of this market.
There is a movement on foot with every
prospect of success to organize a club COM
posed of the business and professional
men of the city. The rooms formerly oc-
cupied by the Y. NJ. q. A. in the France
block have been secured and a meeting Is
called for tonight for the purpose of per-
tectinG the organization. 1t will be open
at all times to members and their friends

hours at a social game Of cards, chess.

About the middle of last September An
ton Siebolt killed James Meighan in cold
blood, stamping him to death after he had
rendered him unconscious by a blow from
a wagon pin. A few days later Seibolt
was taken from Jail by a crowd of eight or
ten men, who overpowered the sheriff and
district attorney, and, wearing the clothes
which were still stiff and hard with the
life blood Of his victim Of the week before,
he was strung up to a tree across the street
from the jail.
The lyuching occurred in broad day
light in the presence OF about 200 citi-
zens and several hundred boys n girls,
pupils in a nearby school which had just
''let out" The lynchers made no effort
whatever to conceal their identity, and as
the rope they used was too short to admit
of being tied, they hung on to 1t in full
view Of the crowd until their hapless vic
tim was pronounced dead. Eight men,
most of them relatives of the murdered
Meighan, were indicted, as has been stated,
for murder In the first degree. but when
the case was called at the last session OF
the court their counse obtained a post
ponement until the March term. Much

trial, as some years ago three persons in
Trempeaieau county, Wis, who tool
part in a l%ynching were sentenced to i'm.

HUNDREDS WERE THERE
The Mass Meeting at Turner Hall
Largely Attended.
Facts About the Proposed Smelter
Very Brlskly Presented.
The Sub Committee to Resume
Work Again Today.

The meeting at Turner hall last evening
was the largest business meeting ever held
in Cheyenne. The spacious auditorium
was crowded to the doors BY business peo-
pie and working men. Everybody seemed
interested In the proceedings and every
body manifested the same spirit of com-
mendable determination to accomplish
what they are after.
The first address of the evening was
made bv Mr.. Blanchard, who showed the
plans and specifications of the proposed
smelters. The buildings will occupy eight
acres of ground. They will be built of
iron and steel with stone foundations.
The machinery alone will weigh a million
pounds. 1t will be manufactured in
Chicago. Over half a million
dollars must be invested in the plant
which will employ at least 600 men IN
stead of $50 as the contract calls for. At
ter explaining the details of the plans
Mr.. Blanchard made a hasty resume of
the resources of the state, not from what
he had read, but from what he had OBJ
Gerved during his tours of investigation of
the state. He opened the eyes OF a great
many people as to the value of the states
resources and the little that is known OF
them in other quarters of the country.
He pronounced Wyoming the richest
state In ucd~eveloped resources he has
ever visited. Mr.. BlaDchard's rapid,
chatty talk. literally loaded with facts
brightly presented, was cheered to the
echo by the audience.
The only other address was made by
]. c. Baird, president OF the Board of
Trade, who ex, lained exactly what had
been done in the matter of raising the
bonus, its amount up to that moment,
and the necessity for closing the deal at
the earliest possible moment.
1t was decided by the meeting TO raise
the balance needed by the old method
hat Id for the committees to make an
other thorough canvass. All the sub
committees will therefore meet the general
committee at 10 o'clock this morning in
the Board of Trade rooms.
Several subscriptions were voluntarily
doubled last evening and new cash cub
scriptions, all in small amounts, npgre.
eating about 1000 were also received.
Owing to the shrinkages in values there
still remains to be collected many thous
and dollars aud TO one should fail to re-
member tits Iacl.
The mass meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.

"
Yesterday afternoon Drs. w. A Wy

of Paul Rudrinsky's feet. Rudzinsky

out afoot in a blizzard to tramp to Omaha.
The history of the unfortunate foreigner

discovered.
He labored under the halluclnation that
he was being pursued by enemies who
we're going to cut him in small pieces.
The sheriff of Rawlins broaght Rudzln-
sky to Cheyenne and offered to paw his
fare to Omaha but the mentally un-
balanced Pole thought the officer was lay
ing some plan to have him delivered to
his enemies and strobe off hastily in a
driving snow storm. The sheriff did not
think Rudzinsky was so crazy as he ap-
peared and after being assured by him
that he could take care of himself, left
him to his fate. That was the last seen
of him by anyone who knew
him until he was picked up
by a ranchman near Egbert, nearly frozen
to death. Rudzinsky had been stretched

der is that he had any life left IN him at

Messrs. Wurtele and O'Hearne of the

at the invitation of the mayor addressed
the council concerning the necessity of
building stairway from the viaduct at
q point convenient for the shopmen to
use. 1t was stated that 40 men were at
work in the shops and when the big
fence should be completed, which would
be very soon, these men would have to
walk a long distance to and from work
besides running the risk of being run over
by the cars. An estimate OF the cost of
the stairway had been made. For a
wooden stairway the cost would be $3.50,
for iron 5000. The question was referred
to the street and alley committee with in
structions to report to the council.
