GRAND JURY MEETS.
Began the Investigation of Witnesses
Yesterday Morning.

The grand jury, called by Judge
Scott, for the purpose of investigating
certain evil conditions existing in
Cheyenne, was sworn in yesterday
morning. Messrs. Gloye. Bailey and
Herman were excused for different
reasons and their places filled by Lee
Bristol, John Rees and d. C. Bray.
After being ~empaneled, Judge Scott
delivered his charge to the jury.
He said that conditions sometimes
arise when it becomes necessary to
summon a grand jury to assist the ad-
ministrative officers in the suppression
of crime and apprehension of the
offenders, on account of the great
powers conferred upon them by
statute. That by their oaths they were
sworn to diligently inquire" which
meant that they would not delay, but
perform their services with all posi-.
BILE dispatch.
Judge Scott then enumerated the
vices that were to be investigated by
the jury, including the selling OF
cigars, tobacco, etc, to persons under
the age of IS: the furnishing Of in
t%oxicating drink to persons under the
age of 81, and the making a rendez,

A BLAZE.
Two Horses Burned to Death in the
Fisher Barn.

An alarm of fire was turned in at II
o'clock last night, the large barn own
ed by j. ]. Fisher, being on fire, and
by the time the department arrived the
whole north end Of town was lit up by
the flames. A breeze from the SOUTH
west drove the flames toward the
houses nearby and for a time it was
feared they would catch fire, but this
was prevented by one of the hose com
panies playing a stream OF water upon
them.
One of the principal poles from the
electric light station was on fire and
for a time more serious damage was
threatened from this source, but the
flames were soon got within the con-
fines of the barn, which was totally
destroyed. The property was partly
insured.
Two horses brought in from the ranch
that evening were burned to death, the
flames and smoke being so dense when
the firemen arrived that it was i'm
possible to get inside to rescue the IN
imals.
