One thing familiar to the readers of
the Standard is the common saying re-
ported at Evanston, and that is, when
the Crawford mystery is solved, light
will De thrown on the murder of Har-
vey Booth, for which crime L. S.
Crocker of Evanston has stood trial
and was convicted, but who has been
granted a new trial at Cheyenne on the
ground of prejudice. Booth was muir
dered two years to the day after the
disappearance of Crawford, and the
two cases have been linked together
ever since. The theory was hat the
man who murdered Booth had also
been guilty of putting Crawford out of
the way. The other theory which has
but few followers is that Crawford
gathered together out of the wreck of
his business systematically, all the
cash he could get hold of and variously
estimated at from 10000 to $25, 900.
and then blotted out his identity. This
action is accounted for Dy the reason
OF the fact that Crawford probably
knew he could not pan out even by
staying and facing his creditors.
Now is 1t worth the while for the au-
liberties to take this matter up? The
Standard publishes in this article the
statement of reputable men; their
word must be taken for what it is
worth. But ont thing is certain, the
mysterious disappearance of William
Crawford has not been thoroughly set
tied by the murder theory and, further,
more will be heard from Mr.. LayCock,
who has promised to send further in
formation of the whereabouts of Will
lam Crawford OF his double, and also
his photograph, backed with a sworn
affidavit. if such can be obtained.

they came in later. Mayor Harper has
been unwell for several DAYS. but was
able to preside.
After the reading and approval of
he minutes. the ordinance concerning
"nigger-shuoters'' was taken up and
uasscd. and the boy who now owns one
of those implements of war had better
dlspose of it without delay.
The ordinance concerning bill post
ers was discussed and laid over till the
next meeting Mr.. Lohlein stated that
under the ordinance. if he had the cor
rect understanding of 4. a license
would nave TO be secured for every
man who might be engaged in the
work. and if only II license was tax
en- ont the man who had it would have
to do the work himself.

Attorney Hills stated that Mr.. Lohlein
had the correct view of the matter.
If is not improbable that the ordi-
nance will be amended in this particu-
lar. so as to permit a licensed bill post
er to have one or more assistants.
Mr.. Lohlein stated that the sewers
were in a very bad condition and that
something should be done at once.
They had not been cleaned since last
fall. Upon motion of Mr.. HertZog. it
was ordered that the sewers be flushed
as soon as possible. and the matter
was referred to the sewer committee.

The Stickney-Hall Case Not Permitted
to Go to the Jury.

The case of Stckney VS.. Hall was
not permitted to go to the jury, the
court deciding that the plaintiff was
without title to maintain the action

was before the sale was made.

RAWLINS' BACHELOR BALL.
\ Most Enjoyable Time Had by All in
Attendance.

Mr.. Frank b. Cramer returned from
Rawlins on No. 4 today. He was a
guest at the bachelors bail there last
evening. and is delighted with the ele-
giant entertainment he received at the
hands of the society people of Rawlins.
1t was a reception and dance under the
auspices of the r. a. S. of b. Y. & O..
and was given at the opera house.
All the Rawlins society people were
in attendance, $50 couples taking part
in the grand march and at least $50
people enjoyed the festivities of the
happy occasion.
The entire control of the affair was
vested in the bachelors, even to the
serving of the refreshments. The hall
decorations were very fine, rejecting
credit upon the rare taste Of such
natty men as Senator Frank Chatter
ton and Ex-Governor John L. Osborne.
Inside the hall a receptacle which
tanned the rarest claret punch that
ever soothed the palate or quenched
the thirst of man. Behind this stood
three of the bachelors. adorned with
snowy aprons-J. H. Sullivan, Gov.
Osborne and Senator Chatterton-and
they served the thirsty with this
tempting beverage absolutely free.
Everything at the bachelors ball was
as free as the air: not a red could be
spent for anything.
Mr.. and Mrs. Latimer of the Union
ceive and entertain outside visitors,
and so well did they perform the duties
which were assigned to them that the
stay of Rawlins' guests was made one
continuous round of pleasure.
4 noticeable feature of the bail was
the many elegant costumes worn by
the ladies, which would have done
credit to Denver or Omaha.
The dancing program vas relieved
by an occasional song and at II o'clock
a number Of the bachelors donned
aprons. retired into an adjoining room
and produced some of the choicest vi
ands that ever gratitied the appetite of
man-all served by the men, no wo-
men in the game at all.
The dancing program consisted of
20 numbers, but the dancers were not
satisfied and seven extras were added,
the hour being 4 when they we're COM
pIeted.
The music consisted of our pieces,
all from Rawlins. led by Prof. Ike
Hoffman, who was a leading spirit of
the ball.
1t is understood that his party was
given as a sort of rebuke to the ladies
of Rawlins, who have been very reluc-
tant about their leap year parties. 1t
is hoped that this will call them out
and that some good results may be had
before the year is closed in thinning
the ranks of the bachelors of Rawlins.

taken into the confidence of the Council

wit those who antagoniZed the movement.
The bonds were accordingly secretly sold.
OF the money thus obtained $16l, 900 was
paid in advance to Contractor Effey for
the erection and construction of the works.
In order to insure faithful compliance
with the terms of the contract, however,
a large cash bond was required and given
by Mr.. Effey, amply securing the city.
Mayor Effey having ass gned the contract
to Paul B. Perkins, large bond was like
wise required of and given by the latter
gentleman, and the greater part of the
population here was electrified, one fine
morning in October last, by seeing the
work actively commenced.

meant total failure to the enterprise.

FEARS A REOD|NG MOB,
The Murderer of John Ward
Passes a Restless Night
in Prison.
Extra Guards Stationed in the Tail

Attack.

REDDING, CAL, Feb. 21,-Gambler J.
H. Ryan, the murderer of John Ward,
passed an uneasy night in the County
jail and this morning appeared relieved
because the night had passed and he had
been spared from the vengeance of al an
CRY mob. He was extremely nervous and
persisted in his statement that the shoot
ing was an accident. He says the pistol
had hair trigger and was discharged be-
fore he knew it.
After removing the body to the Morgue
last night the Coroner adjourned the in
quest until o'clock this morning. The
verdict of the Coroners jury was that
Ward came to his death from gunshot
wounds inflicted by Ryan with no cause
or justification whatever. There is still a
great deal of bitter feeling among Ward g
friends against Ryan, and it is feared he
will yet be taken from the jail and lynched
Guards have been placed in the iailyard.
Ryan was arraigned to-day before Judge
Garden and will have his examination as
soon as the court calendar is cleared. He
will plead guilty and will be held for trial
before the Superior Court.
The funeral of the murdered man took
place to-day, his body being inferred in

Bridge" Williams Springs have satisfied

meant but one result.
