CHEYENNE. Jan. Judge Jay L. Torey
and John c. Davis, heretofore considered
as two of the leading candidates for the
vacancy existing in Wyoming's senatorial
delegation, announced to-day that they
would not permit their names to be pre-
sented to the republican caucus.

as the candidates tor the four year
senatorship. The election of ex-senator
Francis L. Warren 20 succeed Senator
Joseph NJ. Carey is conceded.
Mr.. Clark is, no doubt, the leading can
didatc for the short term, but deter
mined fight is being made against him,
and If the opposition can develop SUI
flcicnt force to prevent the caucus from
making n nomination for at least 10 days
he is liable To be defeated. In that event
Senator Carey would stand an excellent
show of being returned, Notwithstanding
his opposition to silver.
Warren and Clark's friends are anxious
TO hold n caucus tomorrow night but
Carey's friends will endeavor to prevent
IT. The legislature convenes at noon to-
morrow.
Governor William A. Richards and his
contemporary state officials, including
Miss Reid, the state superintendent, were

and THE FLOODS GAME
Elstern States in Danger Of Being
Carried Out TO Sea.
THE RIVERS ARE RISING
There's Great Excitement AIon g
the Monongahela-All the Snow
Is Gone and the Rivers Are
Roaring Seaward.

PITTsBURG, Jan. Tho river men arc
thoroughly alarmed over the probability
of big flood at this point. The Monon-
gahela came up with a rush this morning,
and with the breaking of the ice in tho
upper pools the damage to boats began.
Immense coal fleets were threatened with
destruction.
There was great excitement along the
Monongahela all day. The docks at
Mckeesport and the boat bottoms tied up
along the river gave way early this morn
ing and went rushing down the river. The
report of 25 feet at lock No. and 23 feet
at Morgantown caused n general panic
among tho coal operators and most of the
clerks and employees we're ordered out and
stationed along the river to look after tho
crafts. There were several million
bushels of coal on fiat boats in the harbor
here, and every effort was made TO keep
the fleets from being wrecked. Several
coal barges, n house boat and n swinging
ferry boat broke from their moorings and
went down with the current.
PITTsBURG, Jan. There is a.proba-
bilty of n food if the rivers continue TO
rise any length of time at the present
rate. 4 large amount of ice is coming
down the Youghiogheuy and Mckeesport
rivers. The little steamer Tillie was
sunk. Ice is also coming down the Alle-
gheny and the Coifcrdam and Harris
island is in danger. The . foot stage in
the Ohio river is expected hero and tho
river men fear it will roach 30 feet.
Twenty-Five feet will Hood the mills along
the river and cause damage to property.
Thirty feet is considered the danger line.
1t has been raining all night.
BELLAIRE, Ohio, Jan. 7.-Indications
to-day are the great flood of 1881 will be re-
peated. The river is rising rapidly. Tho
ice in the Ohio river and tributaries broke
up and the rain sent it out last night.
Several barges were lost. Two bridges on
the Cleveland, Laramie & Wheeling rail-
way were washed away. Traffic on the
road is completely blocked. All tho snow
is melted and gone. The low lands will
be flooded by tomorrow morning. The
people are moving to higher ground.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Jan. Rain
has fallen here steadily for As hours and
the river is rising rapidly at Grantsville
| Up the Kanawha river the water is % feet
and rising. Timber men predict immense
damage. The steamer Oneida, a river
packet, was sunk hero at midnight. Ice
knocked hole in her and she will be q
total loss.
| CINCINNATI. Jan. An unprecedented
rainfall of 3.47 inches in "a hours ended a.
| : a. IN. and of 3.sl inches in As hours has
had the effect of carrying off the ice from

SACRAMENTO, Jan. The legislature
of California convened to-day. The re-
publicans have majority in both houses
and elected temporary officers. The new
members were sworn in and thereupon
both branches adjourned until to-mor-
row. Governor-elect Budd to-day re-
ccived from Attorney General Hart an
opinion in which it is asserted there can
be no gubernatorial contest before tho
present legislature, and that the oath of
Office must be administered TO Budd.
The opinion declares that the section of
the political code which provides the
manner of gubernatorial contest before
the legislature is unconstitutional. in that
it confers judicial powers on the legisla-
ture.
The democrats are arranging to have
Budd sworn in tomorrow at the joint ses-
sion of both houses. Prior to the joint
session, however, the two branches will
meet separately, when the republicans
may introduce a resolution postponing
the Inauguration pending the appoint
ment of a committee from each house to
investigate the charges of fraudulent re-
turns in connection with the gubernato-
rial election.

TOUGH STORY.
a BOY Says He Committed Murder for
5000


MEDoRA, y. D., Jan. "A horrible
story was told Tuesday night to- the coro-
nor's jury concerning the death OF Ed
Sevcrson, who was shot ut Mark Wads-
worth's ranch Dec. II.
Fred Roehm, n bright i6-year-old boy,
who has been in custody several days,
suspected of the murder, had made par
tial confession to Clerk of tho Court
Foley.
Before the coroner's jury Tuesday
night he made a clean breast of 1t and
said his employer, Wadsworth, took him
in the early dawn into the barn and prom
ised him 500 to shoot Severson. He told
him when to pull the trigger and the deed
was done.
J The story was dramatic aI.d t0ld by the
boy quietly and clearly, but he burst into
tears when the climax was reached.
Wadsworth himself followed the boy and
denied the whole story.
Wadsworth is partially paralyzed and
the boy says tho old man could not pull
the trigger himself.
The prosecution believes it has found e
motive in the claim that Wadsworth owed
Seycrson money. Wadsworth is under
arrest on charge OF murder.

SEEKING JUSTICE.
A Survivor of tho spirit Lake Massacre
In Washington.


WASHINGTON. Jan. Mrs. Abbie Gard
ner Sharp, ono of tho survivors of the
Spirit Lake massacre, has been in WASH
ington for several days trying to secure
from the bureau of Indian depredations
and the department of justice indemnity
for the loss of her fathers lands and per-
sonal estate at the time of the massacre.
The Spirit Lake massacre of 1857 was
one of the most shocking Indian atrocities
in the Mississippi valley, and ranks in the
annals of western history with the equally
infamous though no less complete Mount
ain Meadow massacre of Ut ah.
At the time of the massacre the Sioux
were still powerful in Iowa. The tide of
western emigration, in carrying the hordes
of treasure seekers through the fertile
central states to tho golden West, had
scattered many thriving settlements also
through tho Mississippi valley. OF these
one of the most beautiful in point of nat
ural situation was the little settlement of
Spirit Lake, not far from the regular trail
OF the western emigrant train.
In the year 1857 the settlement num-
bered 40 people. At the time of the mas
sacre four of those orc absent. The
Sioux swooped down on the settlement
and, taking the inhabitants by surprise,
murdered all but four of those who re-
NAMED at home.
Those four, of whom ono was Mrs.
Sharp, an infant at the time, were carried
into captivity, where, after four months.
thay were ransomed by the government OF
Iowa. or these survivors only two, Mrs.
Sharp and Mrs. Marble, are now living.
short while ago Mrs. Sharp went be.
fore tho Iowa state Legislature and Sc
cured an appropriation of 5000 for tho
erection of suitable monument on the
scene of the crime.

Carlisle's Currency scheme Finds Itself
short of Endorsement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. by vote of 81 to
80 the democratic house caucus voted to-
day to endorse tho Carlisle substitute cur
rency bill.
Speaker Crisp took the lead in present.
ing the resolution and he vigorously urged
the necessity of its adoption. Tho COM
mittee on rules was instructed TO bring in
a rule tomorrow to close tho debate.
The efforts TO amend Crisp's resolution
we're voted down, one of the adverse votes
showing only 13 members of tho caucus
favor bio to the issue of bonds to retire
the greenbacks.
The result Of the caucus is accepted
with considerable apprehension 10y the
friends of the bill, Notwithstanding the
passage of the resolution. Tho II votes
which the measure commanded in caucus
is far short of the number necessary TO
pass il in the house. IL is the belief,
however, that many of the 30 votes
recorded against the resolution will be
changed now that the Carlisle bill has the
prestige of the caucus amendment. But
there were several prominent leaders
who asserted at the close of tho caucus
that the vote showed conclusively that
the bill had not passed. The caucus was
called together, Holman in the chair.
The party leaders and the democratic
banking and currency committee were
on hand. The following resolution was
prepared by Springer and introduced by
Speaker Crisp:
Rcsolucd, That Il is the sense Of this caucus
that the Carlisle currency bill should be passed
by the house substantially as presented I'm the
substitute. which has been printed In tho
Record. and which will be offered al the proper
time by the chairman Of the committee Oh
banking and currency.

Special Dispatch 10 the Standard.
BOULDER, Jan. An interesting case
was tried before Judge Warner this after
noon, in which Thomas Jennings of Basin
was complainant and Dave Kennedy and
"Brockey Pete" Roman we're the defend
ants, on the charge of assault with n
deadly weapon. The trial was held in the
county attorneys Office and lasted about
H. minutes.
Jennings claims that he was assaulted
in a lodging house at Basin and was in
danger of his life, while in the same room
with defendants, but he was undoubtedly
telling very mixed up story.
Kennedy and "Brockey Pete" we're
brought here from Butte by Under Sheriff
TindaIl last Saturday evening and were
strangers i'm the city. but they secured
bonds for $500 from two well known
business men of this city. \ large crowd
was ut the trial. Justice Warner said he
could not hold the men over to the district
court as he would not be justified in so do
ing. Jennings loft town this evening.

A movement has been started and is
gathering great force to call the sena-
torial caucus on Wednesday night. All
the republican members of the senate
have signed tho call and it already has
large number of the members of the
house. The movement is believed to
have originated with Carter, who is evil
IDENTITY afraid that his following will slip
away unless he acts quickly.
Tho Mantle men have no particular
reason for calling the caucus this early,
but they are not afraid of n caucus now
or at any other time, and if the others
want ono now they are willing. Power,
Sanders, and Richards may combine to
defeat the Wednesday night caucus, but
the thing has got such start it is quite
likely to 60 through.

In talking the matters over with one of the
leading nurSerymen, i spoke of some con-
versations, and remarked that it looked as
anything short OF actual robbery. He re-
piled, Il get so disgusted with the whole
business of selling trees through these deal
ers that don't know what to do. I some
times think won't let another dealer have
another tree. But don't you know the farm
ers themselves are the ones who are to
blame for the way these things are run
II man tries to do an honest business
with them, he fails To do anything. 1t is
only when you make him believe you have
some great thing with which he can make
his fortune, and you are doing him a spe-
cfal favor by letting him have it, that you
can do anything with him. 1 know two
young men. brothers., who began selling
trees, determined to do an honest business.
They stuck to 1t for two years, and during
that time they didn't make expenses. Then
they went to town, got fine suit and plug
nat apiece, fixed up some big stories, and
since then they have just coined money.
What is needed is better business sense on
this whole subject of fruits and fruit-grow-
ing among the farmers themselves. Why,
could sell them stuff worth a great deal
more than they get through these dealers,
and at one-fourth the price, but they won't
come to me-
In many of these cases the tree agent or
dealer is as guilty of obtaining money under
false pretenses any other sharper, and
the only trouble about successful prosecu-
ton is to find the man after you become
convinced you are swndled. Why could we
not have law compelling all travelling
retail statesmen to give bond for honest deal
ing in the counties in which they propose
to work? Yet what's the use of laws con-
corning matter where every one can read
lily protect himself? If farmers are deter
mined to be caught law can't stop it.-Ag-
riculturist.
