Lord Lytton's favorite dog Darling. q
beautiful poodle, has been the means of
bringing to justice a notorious thief
who has long been wanted by the Paris
police. Darling has peer very disconso-
late over the loss of his master, and has
lately taken to vagabond ways highly
~lnbecoming in so we'll bred sn animal.
One day he disappeared como>etely, and
all Lady Lytton's efforts Il, ind him
proved unavailing. About a y. elk after
ward a dirty, disreputable looking dog,
with long hair, cropped ears and a mere
stump for a tail made his appearance at
the British embassy and refused to be
driven out. Could this be the beautiful
Darling with the shaggy name, the
close cropped hair and the long tail
with a sort of full stop at the end of it?
The idea seemed almost ridiculous, but
some one took the poor brute to Lady
Lytton, who, in spite of his altered APP
pearance, recognized in him her lost pet.
The question was, Where had he been?
And this was soon settled on examina-
ton of a strange collar around his neck,
engraved upon which were the name
and address of a man who has long
made a profession of dog stealing. Tho
~imprudent thief, who seems to have
taken a fancy to the dog and to nave in
tended to keep him himself, actually
succeeded in securing his own arrest,
and he is now safely under lock and key.

THROUGH TO ALLIANCE
The Burlington Extension to that
Place a Certainty.
Right of Way offered Gratuitously
to the officials.
Horse Creek Farms to be Tributary
to Cheyenne.

1t looks now like the Burlington rail-
road would be extended to Alliance. Neb.
For some time the feasibility of extending
it has been discussed among the stock:
holders of the road. The only drawback
which has appeared to throw n damper
upon the project is that the stockholders
were fearful they would be compelled to
buy a right of wav between the cities OF
Cheyenne and Alliance. That Is no longer
a barrier. Several weeks ago a number of
Cheyenne men went to work to see what
could be done in the way of Graduating
the imaginary obstacle that hiudered tho
extension. Among these gentlemen is Mr..
William Sturgis, Jr. That gentleman
was seen by a LEADER reporter yester-
day and in reply to the question, What
about the BURLINGTON extension?' said;
IF the question of a right of way is
all there Is to prevent the road being ex-
tended it will 60 through with a whoop.
Some time ago, in the interest of this
neighborhood, l and Q number of others
wrote to nearly every land owner along
the proposed route, and in a remarkably
short time we received letters from nearly
every man we wrote. They said they
were in hearty sympathy with the scheme.
They we're willing to grant a right OF
way aud help the road in any other
manner they could"
What is the proposed route" was
asked Mr.. Sturgis.
well, it will start at Alliance. Neb.,
aud extend through SCOTS Bluff county
in that state. 1t will cross Horse creek
heal its mouth and will follow the general
bed of that creek up to Bear Gap, aud
crossing there it will then come by the
nearest way until it reaches its own road
rear Cheyenne. In that manner it will
make all the rich farming country in the
Horse creek country tributary to Chey-
enne This will infuse new life into the
farmers aud cattle men on Horse creek
and consequently lower the cost of farm
products which are absolutely indIs-
pensible to the citizens of Cheyenne
Mr.. SturQis' remarks about Horse
creek farms were fully corroborated by
the reporter. who had spent a month upon
the ranches of Ex-Governor George W.
Baxter and Mr.. Gordon. These gentle
men have ranches on Horse creek which
are more beneficial from a farming view
point than many socalled Eastern farms.
Mr.. Sturgis added that the extension was
"
1t is thought the stockholders will build
tho extension because the people along
the proposed line have shown their
appreciation Of it. The local officials of
the road are enthusiastic in their
advocacy of the extension and in short it
will be built sooner or later and 1t is
thought next summer.

unique costumes worn, many deserving Of

BIG HORN BASIN NOTES.

Special correspondence.
TORY, WYo., Jan. 22.-We are Just
recovering throughout the basin from the
effects OF the last cold snap, it being the
longest continued cold spell for several
seasons. The thermometer ranged from
2Oo to 500 below zero.
Residents of this vicinity are now wres-
ling with the grippe.
We are sorry to announce the sad and
sudden death of John Signor from pneu-
moBia, brought OF presumably by an at
tack of the grippe. He formerly re-
sided at Lost Cabin on Backwater creek,
but removed from there last fall to a
ranch on the Big Horn above the mouth
OF Norwood river. He !~leaves a wife and
two children.
Virgil Rice is back among us again from
St. Louis, Mo-, having been there on a
visit. He c~orroborates the rumor that
he Is now. part owner of the NJ outfit.
All who know him wish him success as he
is one Of the most whole sould boys in
this country.
1t is said that j. D. McCullock of En-
bar, has struck a lead In the Owl creek
range, he is rather reticent concerning
it. but those who know him well infer
that is a better indication than if he were
trying to boom it.
Some of the farmers are taking advan-
tage of tae offer made by the experiment
station at Laramie on the sugar beet
question. | have seen specimens of the
vegetable mentioned raised In this valley
that augurs well for the success OF that
industry.

The arrival of two well built clipper
ships in New York, after a race from
San Francisco, calls attention to the
fact that wooden ships are no longer in
disfavor on long voyages, but have in
some instances displaced their iron
rivals. This is an encouraging outlook
for the United States, because in the
past the fastest clippers have been built
in this country, and a general return to
wooden ships for long ocean voyages
might result in a boom in the shipbuild-
ing business in New England and else
where.-Boston Advertiser.
