Special Correspondence.
Cheyenne, Wyo, Dec, 5.-Stories sent
out from Casper tell Of the cowardicc
of Tom O'Day. the le-in-the-Wall
outlaw who was arrested 10 days ago
by Sheriff webb of Nauona county,
and who will doubtless be sent to the
pententiary for a long term for horse
stealing, but local officers who have
known O'Day ever since he branched
out as a bad man, do not agree With
the Casper opinions.
A FEARLESS HUSTLER.
According to those who know ODay
best he was born in Missouri, and not
far from the birthplace OF the late Tom
Horne. O'Day came 10 Wyoming when
quite young and entered upon the life
of cowboy. lie was big-ra'N- boned,
red -headed. good-natured fellow, fond
Of playing pranks on his fellow punch
ers and ever ready for a good time.
While I'm the employ of the big outfits
he observed the ease with which his
employers caught mavericks and place
their own brands on the animals, and
in many cases witnessed the theft OF
WhOlc NERDS OF CNtUe ana horses, lie

be for an individual to get rich in the
same unlawful work. and he soon set

The Marine Engine Is Alive.

The Marine Engine Is Alive.
All good old chiefs love their engines
and come to believe in them. To all of
us assistants and 'prentices they were
not the mere machines that they ap.
pear to the outsider, but quite human.
Every noise they made, every motion,
every trick they had we knew and had
the reason for it. Kipling speaks of the
marine engine as the most sensitive
thing man ever invented. There's a
sort of cold, lifeless, though admirable,
precision in a telescope and a fine re-
gard for details in photograph, but
the marine engine is alive; it strains
and labors desperately, it groans with
rheumatism in its joints, screams with
the pain of tight bearings, staggers
and plunges against the oncoming seas.

that his income was equal to 100000

than Sheridan, and on innumefable oc-
