BUILT THE FIRST HOUSE.
Sheridan and Furnished the First
Corpse for the Graveyard.

w. II. Brown. who went down TO
Cheyenne recently, returned Saturday
from that place and went on up to the
Encampment Monday morning. where
ne has some valuable mining claims. In
conversation with the Sun hired man
he related some of his experience in the
vicinity Of where the beautiful little city
OF Sheridan new stands. during the ear
ly days.
in the fall of 1877 l went into Mon
Iana TO buy cattle for delivery in the
spring OF 1878. | wanted to be well on
my way when spring opened, so I ar
ranged to have a cabin built and suf1i-
cient quantity Of hay put up IN which
10 winter my horses on the spot where
Sheridan now stands. | got my outfit
together at Cheyenne, gathered up a few
men to cook. care for the stock. cut
wood. etc. and left Cheyenne in No
vember, in time to get into winter qua
ters in good season. The times were
very rough. and about every other man
one met was a horse thief, and I wanted
plenty Of men to help me guard my
property, especially the horses. About
dlree miles up the creek from our camp
some rustlers had a cabin. / knew very
well what they were, and was satisfied
that their cabin was headquarters FOR a
band O. horse thieves, but so long as
they did not modest me. l intended to
LEI them alone. | was not there to ar
rest horse thieves, but to attend to my
own business.
Il had gotten very far out OF Chey-
enne before ! discovered that one OF the
men l had picked UP at the last moment
before leaving that place. had just been
discharged from serving a term in the
penitentiary. He proved to be . worth
less s%coundrel, eve turning his hands
over 10 do a thing in the camp. He
was on hand for his meals though, as
regular as a clock. l let him stay how
ever. for we had plenty OF men to do all
me work without his assistance. None
Of the men were under pay. but worked
for their grub. After we got to my cab
in and fixed for the winter. this man,
whom I will call Jones, would take a
horse and my Il and pre;end to go
hunting. I noticed That while game was
plenty he never brought any into camp.
Ii soon transpired that he was visiting
the camp OF the thieves up the creek in
stead Of hunting. and I knew what that
meant. 1t would not be very long until
my horse, gun, saddle and all would be
missing. SO I pu, a stop to his taking
hem with him on these visits. This
made him very angry and the men told
me he had threatened to kill me. and
warned me to go prepared for him for
he had taken UP his abode with the
rustlers.
II was not afraid Of the man and so
paid no attention to the matter until
the men came to me and said that Jones
had been caught lying in the brush not
a hundred yards from the cabin, armed
with a rifle and that he was determined
to get my scalp. I got on my ear, as the
saying is. when I heard that, and con-
cluded to go cunning on my own hook.
I had an old army musket which l used
to hunt ducks and sagehens with. I
loaded 1t up with buckshot, putting In
about a handful, and laid for the gentle
men,"

FARMER TRAILING.
This Year He Demonstrated Small Grain
is a Success.

There are few men upon the Laramie
plains, or elsewhere for thai matter, who
are 80 thoroughly permeated with the
epirit OF enterprise. thrift and progress
as the Hon. August Trabing. For sew
eral years he has been farming on his
place west Of the city with good results.
This year he raised GA bushels of oats
and 1877 bushels of wheat, and the patch
OF peas grown was excellent. The wheat
was Of extra fine quality. Next year 1t
is the intention OF Mr.. Trailing to plant
fully 100 acres OF small grain, and he is
urging all his n%eighbors and the ranch
leys in general TO raise small grain. as
there is a profit in it for the farmers
and at the same time it keeps money
at home and makes all classes more
prosperous. A large acreage Of wheat
would bring TO us a local mill, a large
acreage Of barley would give to the To-
cal brewery all the grain it needs in the
making OF beer, and a large acreage OF
oats would save the people OF this valley
the money now paid for this article to
the farmers Of Nebraska. Kansas and
Colorado. All of these cereals can be
raised here very successfully and in SUI
f1cient quantities 10 not only supply the
home demand. but for export. The
ranchmen OF the valley must diversity
their industries before they can attain
to the full measure OF prosperity which
is in store for them.

COUNTERFEIT MILE iGE
TICKETS.

Recently there appeared in Pitts
burg, man giving the name OF X. I.
Lucas, accompanied by woman call
ing herself May Anderson, who at
tempted to dispose of counterfeit B.
and o. Mileage Books. They did sue
ceed in selling some Of the books, and
.hen departed for Cleveland, where
they registered at the American House
as K. c. Lucas and wife.
In their efforts to dispose OF the spu-
rious tickets, they aroused suspicious,
which were at once communicated to
the B. & o. Agent, who Immediately
took such action as led to the arrest
and conviction of the woman, who was
found guilty of selling counterfeit TICK
cts, and sentenced to six months IN
the work house, and to pay a fine OF
$500 and costs.
The man succeeded in making his
escape, but as he is known to the rail-
road people and the police, his arrest
is only a question of time.
The B. & O. officials have taken
every precaution to prevent the sale
or use of these spurious tickets, and
have expressed determination TO
prosecute to the fullest extent OF the
law anyone caught attempting to use
counterfeit mileage or other bogus
form of transportation, and will De es-

AN EARLY FALL EXCURSION VIA
B. s. O.

The early fall is undoubtedly the best
time in the year to visit Niagara Falls;
not that the Falls are any better, but
travelling is SO much more comforta-
Bile. The intense heat OF summer and
the severe cold of winter are avoided.
Then, too, the trees are covered with
their autumnal foliage, making the
scenery of bewitChing beauty.
The B. & o. has arranged a ten-day
tour TO Niagara, September 9th. The
special train will run through to the
Falls, arriving there at night, passing
the picturesque portion of the route in
daylight. The privilege of stopping
off at Watkins Glen, Glen Onoko.
Mauch Chunk, Geneva, Rochester and
Buffalo, will crowd into the ten days
attractions that cannot be duplicated
on the continent, and all this, too,
without any additional cost for railroad
fare.
A special express with Pullman Par
lor Cars attached, in charge of an ex-
perienced tourist agent, will leave B.
& o. Station, Washington, 10 a. m,
arriving at Niagara Falls HOO p. m.

THE OUTRAGE ON MRS. HA"
KINS.
IFrom the Daily Post.J

The spirit and vigorous action OF our
police authorities in ordering the alIeS'
of the wife of Hawkins, the tugltlve TOD,
Der, cannot be too seriously cohsIaeieu
or too loudly discussed. 1t exnlDltS dh
amount of misplaced zeal ana pIoiIs-
sional dulness and eager stuplalty' tiIe
like of which has not adorned the an
nails of police blunderlng IN TINS OF any
other town. Hawkins hlmseh fnaoe
the record for earnest and PalnStdkIls
asininity when he confessed his guilt
something which, in all probability,
would never have been suspected otn-
erw1se-by running away from WASH
ington with the plunder. He has neen
bereaved of even that poor distinction
by the police.
Ii battles human ingenuity to imagine
the mental processes by Whlch the du-
thoritieS reached the conclusion 10 al
rest Mrs. Hawkins. They had as tnelr
inspiration only the statement maze Dy
detected thief, false husband, ana
a notorious liar. Hawkins had told the
Toronto detectives a dozen different
stories He had implicated Suoordl,
nate official of the District, and he hao
suggested other accompliceS IN his
crime. These insinuations were mere
ly laughed at, as no doubt they oe-
served TO be, but the moment HaWklns
asserted that he had given his Wlle
few dollars before abScondlng, the
police pounced upon the doubly unfor'
tunate woman with precision ana an
enthusiasm which cannot be sufficiently
condemned. Here was an unhappy
wife who had, according to all trust.
worthy accounts, been neglected ano
mistreated before the flight of her hus'
band, and who was now additionally
afflicted by his crime and his deSertion
She had made no attempt to follow the
fugitive; there was nothing to justify
the suspicion that she knew where ne
had gone it was quite open to the po
lice. in the ardor Of their newly aWak
ened vigilance, to hold her movements
under observation. Yet, on the bareS'
hint from a discredited quarter-a hin,
contradicted and dishonored by every
fact and probability in the caSe-thls
friendless and unhappy woman is sub
jected to the indignity of an arrest anC
to the brand of an imputed crime.
We do not recall from memory ricf
IN instances vi SlupIN OuIS hiS ohJ
thing quite so offensive and expaster
ating as this performance. 1t does no
need even the contrast of the imbecilit'
displayed in the cases of Foultz ane
Carr to emphasize its odious character

couragement and reinsurance to thu
entire episode, and that is furnished By
the police Justice who promptly dis
missed the victim under purely nom

REFLECTION ON THE SCHOOLS.
HOW SOME OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS SPEND THEIR VACATION.
THE BOARD MAY TAKE ACTION.

There is some complaint made and
surprised expressed by those who are
interested in the teachers of the pub
lie schools. 1t is said that after the
close of the schools in June, some of
the best known teachers leave the city
under the pretense of going on a vaca-
ton, when indeed they go away to get
employment in the hotels, either as
walters, mattresses or ChambermaidS.
Some of the most prominent teachers
in the colored public schools of the CITY
came under the observation of the BEE
correspondent this summer A promi-
inent music teacher of the colored pub
lie schools was seen in a prominent
white hotel this summer singing hash
Then there was a certain principal in
one of the divisions, singing hash in a
white hotel. Both of these teachers
are receiving good salaries.
At Long Branch, N. :, there could
be seen a few. of the fayorite colored
teachers acting as chambermaids in
hotels. When these people are asked
what they do during the winter, they
say, ooh! we teach school in Washing
ton" What a reflection on the colored
schools and the teachers who have
more respect for the schools. 1t is no
disgrace to work, but the BEE is of the
opinion that such positions should be
left to those who follow that kind OF
work. If these teachers would save
their money during the school months
instead of living beyond their income,
they would employ their time during
the summer at some institute or al
some place resting themselves.
There should be rule IN the schools
that would tend to make teachers EN-
ploy their time during the summer
months in way that will reflect credit
on the schools Female teachers who
employ their time in white hotels a:
chambermaids should be asked to
hand in their designations. You wou!c
not find white teacher that would de
grade herself to go to colored hote
as chambermaid after the close of hel
school. Very likely the BEE will give
the names of those teachers.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY, MEDl-
CAL DEPARTMENT.
ITS 3oTH ANNUAL SESSION.

The Thirtieth Annual Session OF the
Medical Department of Howard Uni
yersitv will begin October Ist, 1897.
Prof. Alleger will deliver the open,
ing address to which the public and
the profession are cordially invited.
We are informed by the Secretary,
Prof. F. J.. Shadd, that large NUMBER
of students will be enrolled this year.
judging from the applications received
from different parts of the country.
Howard University Medical Depart
ment is always alive TO the growing
spirit of the times, enlarging its scope
Of usefulness, demanding better quail
fications for admission and only gradu-
ating those who are prepared for the
practice of medicine, dentistry, or
pharmacy.
At a recent examination before the
District Board, there were six Howard
graduates admitted to practice in the
city. No graduate of Howard Medical
College failed. Our attention this
year is called to the facilities offered
by the Dental and PharmaCeutic Col.
leges. These departments are in bet
ter condition than ever before, and a
large increase of students is expected.
The corps of professors and instruct
ors are capable and are eager to pre-
pare these students for the active du-
ties of life.
The South and West are opened to
colored doctors, dentists, and drug
gists, and the best families will well
come any bright, competent and hon.
est young man or woman who desires
to settle in their locality. knowing
the needs of these people, we do not
hesitate to suggest that more young
men and women should enter the Den
tai and Pharmaecutic Colleges OF
Howard University and prepare them
selves for active work among the race.
Dentists and druggists can find work
but some should leave the large cities
where living is so very expensive and
go to parts of the country where they
can be among the first citizens Of the
community in which they live.
Better be first in Carthage than Sec
ond in Rome.
We have been informed by promi-
nent white dentist that the coloreo
people are not wanted as patients even
/ when they are able 10 pay expenses foI
services rendered. Hence, we believe
that capable colored dentists and
druggists could obtain all the work
they could do.
We hope the colored papers will
call attention to the needs of the race
in this particular, and we know of nc
place better suited to prepare young
professional men and women than the
Medical Department of Howard Uni
versity.
