CREEK TROUBLE
THE WILD WEST LADS BROUGHT
TO THIS CITY BY SHERIFF
GRANT.
in Judge Hance's Court and
Continuance Taken Till 4 O'clock
This Afternoon. in Order to Give
Time for Consultation with the
United States Officers.

Sheriff Grant and deputies returned
last night from Rock Creek, where
they went to arrest the men who kick
ed up the disturbance on the train yes
terday morning. The sherin's party
brought in the three men wanted. to-
gether with L. V. Bruce and N. E.
Burns as witnesses. No difficulty was
experienced in making the arrests, al
though it was we'll that the sheriff DOL
assistance with him, as the men seem
to have a disposition to raise hades
upon every occasion which presents IT.
self.
When the sheriff and party arrived
at Rock Creek they discovered that one
man wanted. John Kelly, was there,
but the other two had gone out to the
tie camp of Coe & Coe, for whom they
are working. Leaving two of his depu-
ties at the station. Sheriff Grant and
Officer knadler went to the camp and
arrested Ira Smith and Harry Harris.
John Kelly and Ira Smith seem to be
the desperate men OF the party, Harry
Harris worst crime being the company
he kept and the fact hal he allowed
his skin to become full OF bad whiskey.
At 9 o'clock this afternoon the trio
were arraigned in Judge Hance's court
and upon motion Of Attorney Arnold,
for the state, a continuance was grant
ed till 4 p. M. This step was taken in
order that the state might have time
to consult with the United States Off
Gals at the capital, Attorney w. J.
Hills, acting in behalf OF County At
torney Bramel. having gone to Chey-
enne on the oon train for that pur-
pose. 1t is fimly believed by the off
Gals here that action should be
brought in the United States court. the
Union Pacific being in the hands of re-
~ceiver and therefore under the control
Of the federal courts.
1t is thought that the trouble was
occasioned in a large degree by Mr..
Bruce refusing to pay fare from Medi.
cine Bow to Carbon for the men in his
charge until after considerable trouble
with the conductor, and 1t Is said that
he stated to one Of the officials last
night that the wrong men were being
arrested.
The shooting did not occur in the
car. but between the cars in the vesi-
bule, and was all done by John Kelley

The quarter will be from Balch's
residence to First National bank. the
third from the Abrams residence to the
First National and the half from the
university to the First National.
1t is earnestly requested by the riders
in the bicycle events that people will
keep back from the track as far as pos
sible, because of the fact that crowding
will render the performance extremely
dangerous. Under the very best con-
ditions it is dangerous to ride upon the
streets. and it is hoped that the re-
quest of the riders will be regarded by
the public.

1t is earnestly requested that the

with during the parade on the Fourth
of July and during the speaking exer-
cises at the city park. for fear of some
accident where there are so many
ladies and children c~ongregated and so
many horses in use.
We also urge great care in the use Of
these sports before and after the Fourth
to prevent accidents when people are
not prepared for unusual noises. We
are sure the boys of Laramie will re-
spect these requests. and we assure
them there is no disposition on our
part to further interfere with any OF
their harmless sports.

A Dynamite Surprise.

Il suppose that of the most excl
ting episodes Of my life" remarked
Gen. Dudley Avery some time since.
was during a thunderstorm a num-
Der of years ago Cd Avery's Island,
when $4,000 pounds of dynamite
exploded. 1t was a most extraor-
binary happening and the most re-
markable thing Of the affair was that
| lived to tell the tale. | was in the
vicinity of the buildings in which
the dynamite was stored, and when
the storm came on [ took shelter
under a shed which was some dis
lance removed from the explosive
and which was used as a blacksmith
shop by a man who was employed in
this capacity, and who serred with
me during the war and at the battle
of Shiloh. We were chatting to.
gether when, I felt a shock, and then
to my surprise | saw the blacksmith
going up in the air. I watched him
pass through the roof of the shed,
but the man, who by the way, was
an Irishman, did not seem to get any
farther from me. Then [ realized
that | was going up, too. suppose
we must have assembled for thirty or
forty feet, and then we came down
with a rush reaching the earth a lit
tie difgured and with lungs in a
state of collapse. When we caught
u breath the Irishman remarked
between his gasps that q little thing
like that couldn't scare US, as we'd
both been in explosions before. He
was wounded badly however, while I
escaped with a few scratches. We
found upon coming down that thp
lightning had exploded the 10000
pounds of dynamite. Where the
storehouse had stood was a hole in
the ground about thirty feet deep,
and with a diameter fully sixty feet,
shaped like a funnel. Trees in the
vicinity were burned black, and an
oak tree two feet thick, that had
stood twenty feet from the building,
was blown into shreds so fine that
not a vestige could be found. l have
been afraid to 60 near dynamite
ever since."-T'imes Democrat.

TINES will get better in Louisiana
very truly says the Morgan City
Review, especially in the sugar dis
tricts, when the planters cease EN-.
ploying foreign labor. The Italian
lives comparatively on nothing, and
his savings are sent to Italy. The
colored laborer spends his eatnings
freely, and a large per ceutage of it
goes into the plantation stores.
