SC0UNDRBL CAPTURED.
Sheriff Fredendall Got Him In
Butte, Mont.
HIS WORTHLESS PAPER.
william Newton, . RccL 9Priaes
Attorney. Taken g. Cheyenne
to Answer TO sac Charge
Of SWiadIinE.

Sheriff Ira l.. Fredendall arrived
home this morning on No. 2 from
Butte. Montana. says the Cheyenne
Tribune, having in custody William
Newton, whom he arrested Tuesday
afternoon at that city upon a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses from several Cheyenne business
men. Newton was lodged in the coun-
ty Jail.
William Newton was formerly a
lawyer of considerable notoriety at
Rock Springs. where he was a leader In
the populist party. At the last term Of
the United States district court in this
city, Newton was in attendance and
while here, 1t is alleged. on the prom
Use of taking out a big insurance poll
cy. he persuaded Walter l.. Larsh, the
%insurace agent, to cash his check for
$25. He also succeeded in having other
checks drawn by himself cashed, which
with the check cashed by Mr.. Larsh,
were subsequently, found to be worth
less, as Newton had no funds in the
Rock Springs National bank. upon
which they were drawn, to meet them,
or in any other bank for that matter.
Newton offered many when
the fact became known that the checks
were worthless and promised to make
good the losses sustained by Mr.. Larsh
and others, but his promises, like his
checks, were absolutely worthless, and
he suddenly left Rock Springs for Mon
tana. A correspondence was kept up
for some time between Newton and the
parties here whom he ibilked with his
checks, but every letter from him only
brought additional promises, which he
probably never had any intention of
keeping. He has a family, and 1t was
through sympathy for it that Newton
was not arrested long ago.
Word reached the city last week that
Newton Lad worked his worthless
checks of upon friends and acquaint-
ances at other places and Mr.. Larsh,
at whose instigation Newton was ar
rested, decided that he was a worthless
scoundrel and that he should be pun
lfshed. Consequently Governor Rich
ards issued requisition papers on the
governor Of Montana. and armed with
these Sheriff Fredendall departed last
Saturday for Butte. where he had no
difficulty in locating his man, and after
the requisition papers had been hon
ored, placed him under arrest.
While in this city Newton was intro
duced into society by a prominent citi-
zen, who, 1t is alleged, also vouched for
his honesty and good character. New
ton wore fine clothes and with a sidney
silk hat and immaculate shirt front,
was a conspicuous figure on the streets
and at the hotels for several weeks.

R M'KENzE E
Passed to Her Reward at 1880 This
Morning.

At 1870 O'Clock today. the spirit of
Alexanderina Monroe Mckenzie passed
to its maker. Old age was the cause of
her demise. she having arrived at the
extreme g of IS last September.
She has been a great sufferer from
rheumatism for many years. and since
the death Of her loving husband and
gentle life-companion, some Tour years
ago, she has been slowly but surely
sinking into the grave. which m to
her as a peaceful resting place after a
w%ell-spent life.
Mrs. Mckenzie was born in Leath-
eren, Catonshire, Scotland. and came
to this country in June. 1864, locating
at New York. In 1868 the family came
to Laramie. where they have resided
ever since. She leaves five children,
Mrs. Margaret Myers of Mendocino
county. Gala, Mrs. J. j. Hines of this
oity, David Mckenzie of Milwaukee.
Wis, VIM. Mckenzie of Salt Lake, and
John Mckenzie Of this city.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not as yet been perfected, but 1t is
thought that it will take place Satur-
day afternoon.
A mellow light enshrouds the evening
scene
And puts to shame the days air spark
ling sheen.
What more doth symbolic departing
day
Than :yonder stealthy shadow, drawing
near,
And youder streak Of sunlight stealing
soft away?
The topmost clouds stir nurse the
roaming light.
And yonder streak of sunlight stealing
tears,
Which haste to bedew the stormy.
thorny path Of oncoming night.
O piteous sight when love and hope are
gone,
And friends forsake. and hearts are
breaking one by one!
Is this departing day and darkening
shade
A scene to bring to mind the metal Of
which life is made.
Is this to teach us hat the glorious
light
OF joy and hope oft merge in darkest
night,
And what seems bright and sweet and
glowing
May soon return to night, with scarce
our knowing?
o no! 1t is not this my soul.
Thy path is not level as LIES prairies
roll,
So must thy way become the earth on
which you tread.
The waves shall not rise higher than
thy head.
Conceal the lighted way twirt me and
thee.
Twill be dark awhile. but soon again.
The little stars Of hope will wander
out.
And even darkness. however fearful
then,
May nourish thy calm hope, and not
thy doubt,
And all the things before which seemed
too bright
May verge into the sweetest music OF
the night. Il. G.

BY the way, other pretty good men

HE WON 65, 900 FRANCS.
An Event Which Contributed to the
Rise Of Napoleon I.

Apropos of the Napoleon craze. here
is a story from the Chicago Tribune"
When Napoleon was appointed for
the first time as an independent COM
handing general of the Italian army,
the directory then at the head OF
France was not willing, or perhaps not
able. to provide enough money to de-
fray the expenses Of himself and his
~lieutenants to the seat OF war and make
a proper show al commanding general
OF so considerable an army at its head
quarters. Napoleon borrowed money
from his friends, and after exhausting
all his credit succeeded in collecting
10000 francs.
He gave the whole amount to Junot,
a young officer who was known as a
frequent visitor to the gaming tables,
with instructions to lose the whole the
sum at the game or to win enough to
return the amount doubled. as upon
the result would depend whether he
could accept the appointment Is COM
mand1ng general OF the Italian forces,
and also appoint Junot as his adtu,
tant, a step which he already contem>
plated.
Junot went as ordered. Napoleon
waited almost the whole night for his
return. Finally. at 4 o'clock in the
morning, the oficer entered and gave
Napoleon $1,000 francs. with the re-
mark that he had gambled away nearly
the whole sum Of 10000 francs before
he had at last succeeded in winning
several high stakes in succession.
Then Napoleon accepted the appoint.
ment, which was destined to confer the
highest glory upon him. Junot became
one Of his marshals.

has been found necessary in several
cities of the east TO organize against
the crowd which was looting the treas

New York. where the bourbon party
stood upon the neck of honesty, decen-
cy and morality until all self-respcrt-
ing democrats forsook their party ana
united with the republicans to down
the rotten gang. Up to date we have
never heard of a case where democracy
was united with to reform anything.
In the present campaign the cry of the
taxpayer" leaders has beer an open

gambling and more prostitutes.
The Republican can see no benefit
in such reforms(D and Is pleased to
note that they are not fostered or ad-

The American trade with Norway IL re-
viewed in bulletin Issued by the agriculture
al department. 1t forms the seventh Of the
series relating TO the extension OF foreign
markets for American agricultural products.
The bulletin says the products Of Norwegian
agriculture are not sufficient to meet the re-
luirements Of the population. and food stufIs
have to imported in considerable quantities.
The leading feature Is detailed statistical
review Of Norway's foreign trade, attention
being given to the character aud sources OF
imported merchandise. The total imports.

valued at :5j, ,205 270. and the exports at

TRADE IS STATIONARY.
Uncertainty Of the Money Situation Retards
Improvement

II. G. Dun X Co. In their weekly rcyiew
say: Failures for the week have been 2i7 In
the United States against 1855 last year, and
"a in Canada, against % last year.
The monetary outlook is not yet clear to
some. The strength shown In recent con-
ventlons by advocates OF silver coinage and
expectation that the elements favoring that
policy may yet be concentrated incline them
TO a waiting attitude. The uncertainty re.
tards improvement, notwithstanding the
more widely prevalent feeling that the mon
etary action OF the ~. Louis convention will
be- sustained by the people.
"Ihe cotton mills OF Fall River contem-
plate temporary stoppagc, the nature OF

closed for n time and practically all the
Southern cotton mills will be represented

active without concert but Ia are mention
ed as having closed this week.
There Is no similar movement In other In
dustries, though the period Of summer clos
ing IL at hand In many of them, and import
ant controversies as to wages OF iron pud-
dlers and other hands make It likely that the
annual stoppage in that industry may last

THE TURRET Is SAFE.
A Complete Test Made at the Indian Head
Testing Grounds.

The navy department has made further
test of the representative battleship Turret,
which has heretofore been fired on at Indian
Head. This time the purpose was not to try
the plate. but TO ascertain the displacing Of
feet OF heavy shot upon the structure, with "a
view to making sure that, IA mounted on
shipboard, 1t would not be disabled by gun
fire. l2-inch Misunderstanding armor-
piercer wns fired nt the Turrct with a veloci-
ity Of 1000 feet per second. A novel ar
rnngement of stylus and chronograph, de-
visei for the purpose by the ordnance olli-
GERS, attached to the turret. showed not only
how much II was displaced by the shot, but
also the velocity OF the movement, a most
important factor necessary 10 establish the
strength TO bc given the resisting mechanism.
In this case the turret was driven back by
the shot four and half inches and In going
back IL was lifted twice bodily into the air.
nt first as much a. "A half inch of the roller
Paths. The maximum velocity Of the mo-
tion was seven and "a half inches per second,
so that the ordnance officials regard 1t as
&c rtain that the usual restraining devices will
be quite suilicicn. to insure the safety Of the
turrct.
