RUSTLERS WEAKEN.

There May BE No Trial of the Wyoming
Cattlemen.
CHEYENNE. Jan. 10. AT meeting OF
johnson county people now in the city
the proposition to drop the prosecution
against the cattlemen, or 'raiders,"
was seriously discussed. No decision
was reached, but it is evident that there
is weakening along the line of the
forces which insisted on an immediate
trial. Ii pushed to a conclusion
the case will bankrupt johnson county,
which ordinarily will become one OF the
most prosperous subdivisions OF the
state. Then some of the settlers believe
that the cattlemen have been punished
sufficiently. johnson county leaders
say they whipped the invaders, have
had them in prison, made them suffer
political defeat, great humiliation,
and less of time and money.
1t will be many weeks before jury can
be secured, and a conviction is doubtful.
The twenty-three defendants want the
trials to go on. They say there would
never have been any trouble in the first
place If the other side had recognized
the courts.

was four days ago, and has entirely re-
covered from the relapse of Saturday
night and Sunday morning. He is
quite cheerful, and feel very much
encouraged respecting him."
Young Mr.. Biaine's Statement.
Shortly before this statement was
made, Mr.. James q. Blaine, Jr., started
ont for walk. He repeated substan-
tally the same remarks made by DIR.
Johnston, and it was evident from his
manner that he felt greatly relieved.
Several callers who were seen after
they left the house, stated that the
members of the family were much en-.
couraged over the developments of the
morning, and spoke hopefully of the
issue. Among those who were at the
house was Secretary Elkins who re-
mained some time.
The answer to inquiries at the Blaine
mansion during the afternoon ranged
from ''resting easily" to she Is very
much better"
Rev. DIR. T. s. Hamlin, pastor of the
church of the Covenant, called at l
o'clock. He came out in few minutes.
"Mr. Blaine is much better" was his
reply to question.

Third Party Members Of the Lower
House viii Withdraw aud Organ.

Montana Third Party Men Receive In
structions to Bolt the Democratic
Nominee.

Topeka, Jan. 1O.-Chairman Breidcn-
thai, of the Populist committee, has
sent out twenty-six kilograms ordering
here all those against whom contests
have been filed in the lower house.
Under the advice of Judges Doster and
Webb, Mr.. Breidenthal has determined
to organize Populist house, by with
drawing all the members of that party
as soon as it is demonstrated that the
Republicans have a majority. The Re-
publicans have already taken steps to
have the supreme court enjoin the state
auditor and treasurer from paying any
bills that may be contracted by such a
house. This action against Populist
leaders is causing a rebellion against the
proposed action of the Populist leaders,
but the sentiment of that party will
probably whip the recalcitrants into
line.

This leaves the legislature with IS Dem.

do nothing until the settlement of the

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The anti-op-

Death of Mrs. Thomas

EDITORS INTELLIGENCER: Mrs. Eliza
F. Thomas, wife of Mr.. j. q. Thomas,
died at her quiet home near this place, Oh
Monday, February 6, 1893.
Mrs. Thomas was born in Anderson
County, August 81, 1854.
About eight years ago Mr.. J. c. Thomas
with his bright and cheerful family set
tied in this community. He purchased
land in that section of the Township
known as the Ridge, built him a neat
and comfortable home, and was happily
surrounded with lifes comforts, when the
angel of death shadowed the doors Of his
home and deprived hir Of his devoted
wife.
Mrs. Thomas was a long and patient
sufferer, and though her trials were
many, and her illness unceasing, she
never once questioned the wisdom of
God in taking from her the enjoyment Of
health and strength. When only twelve
years old she connected horself with the
Methodist Church, embraced the faith Of
Christ, and lived ever afterwards true to
her profession. She was sincere chris
tian character, and those who knew her
best loved her most. Her last moments
were filled with the smile of the bright
promise she cherished, and in her life
and death, five children have been made
heirs to sweet heritage. After an ap-
propriate sermon by the Rev. H.. 9.
PriLchard, the remains were inferred in
the Ridge cemetery, where large con-
course Of relatives and friends had gath
cred to pay their last respects to the dead.
The bereaved husband and children have
the deep sympathy Of the entire comnun-
ity. A FRIEND.
