IN THE LAKE.
Some Excitement Caused by the Dis
covery OF a Sack in Lake Minnehaha.

For the last few days there has been
quite a little speculation as to the con-
tents Of u sack, n end OF which could
barely be seen above the water. on the
west side OF Lake Minnehaha. Dogs
swimming in the water were attracted
to the sack and would pull and tug at
it, but could not move it. Boys bathing
in the lake talked mysteriously about the
sack and s%peculated as to the contents
and were careful to keep at a safe dis
lance from the immediate locality,
which was shown the same respect at
the hands OF small boys as a haunted
house. Citizens driving on the road
around the water soon noticed the top
OF the sack above the surface and it oc-
CURED to some that the fact that the sack
had been sunk was a significant consid-
Grafton. Sam Wilcox. who drives on the
lake road nearly every evening, noticed
the sack, which he was certain had only
been in the lake a few days. Upon re-
Election the circumstances Of a sack be-
ing sunk in the lake seemed strange to
Mr.. Wilcox, who drove to town and in
formed a Sun-Leader reporter OF the
matter, which was at once investigated.
The sack vas pulled in to shore and
was found to be tightly and strongly
tied up. In one end was a huge boulder,
while in the other end were the remains
Of a pug dog and seven pups. 1t is not
the least bit strange that an individual
who would do away with life in such a
manner would be so deficient in intel
lect and absolutely inconsiderate OF pub
lie welfare as to use the lake for a reposi-
tory Cor the bodies Of the animals 80
oarbarously done away with. Such cft-

A special dispatch from Cheyenne to
the Denver News contains startling in
formation concerning alleged defalca-
tons Of John X. Jeffrey, one Of the old
est residents Of the state and a man
who has hitherto borne a spo,less repu-
ation. 1t is as follows:
The charge is made that J. X. Jeffrey.
commissioner Of the soldiers home and
secretary and treasurer o. the Masonic
building committee, and captain Of Bat
cry y. Wyoming national guard, is a
leilulter and embezzler.
The exact amount Of his alleged m
5ezzlemcnt has not yet been fully
brought to light. It is charged that he
IS short in his accounts with Battery A.
pnd also as commissioner Of the soldiers
home.
Adjntant General Stitzer, commander
Df the soldiers home. alleged to your
correspondent as he boarded the train
s1r Sheridan this morning. that Mr.. JEFF
'rey has misappropriated funds belong
ing 10 the soldiers home, and also funds
belonging to Battery A.. His largest de-
fllcation is that OF funds belonging %
be building committee CT Cheyenne
Lodge No. l, and Wyoming Chapter No.
J.. He admits the embezzlement Of these
funds amounting to sS23.GO. This was
discovered about a week ago. when the
auditing committee checked up his ac-
counts.
1t IS said that his ENLIGHTENMENT has
heen going OF for a year at least. or he
has been paving the way FOR the mislp-
| preparation Of these funds. When his
accounts were audited a year ago. in
: cad OF presenting his certificate OF de-
post representing the moneys OF these
societies. he presented a statement from
he cashier of the bank, as to the num-
Der and amount of funds on hand. This
satisfied the auditing committee at that
time. but last week. when he presented
the same statement from the cashier.
with the date changed. 1t aroused the
Suspicion OF the auultlnS committee, ana
upon inquiry at the bank. It is said it
was discovered that the certificates were
cashed by Mr.. Jeffrey and the funds APP
propriated for his own use.
This discovery has produced a pro-
found sensation in the community. for
no man in Laramie county has been 50
universally trusted as Mr.. Jeffrey. He
is one OF our oldest residents and has
held various Offices Of public trust al
most continuously for years. He has
been one OF the mos prominent leaders
in Masonic circles in the state. He has
been also a vestryman OF the st. Marks
Episcopal church for a number Of years.
