LABOR
MARKET LIVELY IN ANTicIPA
TON OF BIG RAILROAD WORK
EAST OF LARAMIE CITY.
Cheyenne Paper Speaks Of Condition
Of Affairs Two Years Ago on Ac-
count Of Quality Of Labor Supplied
at Sherman AiiI-Notes From the
Shops-Local and Personal.

The work of changing the grade and
of this city will begin as soon in the
spring as the weather will permit. The
contracts have been awarded and en-
ployment agents are now at work fill
ing orders for laborers 10 be emplovn'
by the contractors. Speaking of this
matter, the Cheyenne Tribune of this
morning had the following:
At the present time there are but
two employment agencies in the city,
although the business is said to be a
profitable one. This is especially true
in the case of grade laborers. The
employment agents catch this class "a
comm and a goin'," receiving so much
from the contractors for each man
hired, and charging the men 81 or 50
for securing them jobs. During the
Sherman hill work there were days
when Cheyenne agents cleared as high
as $75.
The class which the double tracking
work of the Union Pacific will bring to
the city is not desirable, but the Chey-
enne police force is sufficient to quell
any serious trouble, as was demon
strated in 1S98-99. In Laramie, where
the police protection afforded is made
quate, during those years, many seri-
brawls occurred, and there are
in the ~penitentiary now who went
to work on the grade and committed
crimes in Laramie and Albany county.
AS was the case with the Sherman hill
work, the work now contemplated will
be in two counties, Laramie and Alb
any. and the authorities of the two dis
tricts will have the trouble arising d.
vided between them.

Notes From the Shops.


Business has been very lively at the
shops lately.
A man named Nichols, from North
Platte, Neb., was last night installed
as night Waterman at the shops.
A new planer has been received at
the shops and is being set up. 1t is
smaller than the two already in use.
John Huempfner has been placed in
charge of the tool room. He vas COM
PEELED to leave the road on account
of his eyes.
The new district foreman, Mr.. Sui
livan. has taken hold like a veteran,
and the men express the ~liveliest ap-
probation of his ability and good ma
ture.
Pat O'Connor, formerly a m%achinist
at the shops. but who has been work
ing at the rolling mills some time, has
accepted the position of stationary en-
gineer at the shops.
Lewis w. Bergert, the night round
house foreman, has rendered his resig-
nation, and will leave shortly for the
east. He will go first to Omaha. and
will be assigned to duty by Mr.. Nc
Keen, the superintendent of motive
power and machinery.
Lauritz Miller. who owns a fine
ranch on the plain, at Four Mile, has
decided to sell his stock and bring
his family to the city to live. He has a
good position in the shops, and the
work on the ranch is too hard for Mrs.
Miller and the children.
The sparrows have begun to nest in
the caves Of the shop buildings and are
very busy picking up bits of straw,
cotton waste and feathers. They chat
ter all hours of the day, and Mike Fitz'
gerald. the Waterman, likes to stand
at q window and hear them.

Dan Brees, general air brake inspec-
tor of the Wyoming division, met with
a painful accident this morning in the
Union Pacific yards at this point, says
the Cheyenne Leader.
A derrick was being used to unload
some car wheels and Brees was look
ing under the car when the massive
chain used on the derrick slipped and
swung through the air, just grazing the
top of his head and cutting a cash clear
across his scalp. Had the chain struck
squarly Brees would probably have
been seriously ii not fatally injured.

CHAPTER xvIrr


No doubt the Kilkenny cats had a
very salubrious time OF II when they
INDUCED in their little engagement,
but such an encounter could not bear
comparison with the scramble in
which the marquis engaged when
these three London footpads set upon
him.
The fellow on his back was interior
ing with his blows as much as he pos
slbly could, and as result the others
we're enabled TO throw themselves
upon him.
Matters were in this mixed-up state
and the final result in doubt, when a
new element was precipitated into the
game.
An outsider hurled himself upon the
struggling masE, and by an exercise
of tremendous muscular strength tore
the man loose from the gentleman's
shoulders, though he chung with such
pertinacity that he carried away the
collar Of the marquis coat.
The newcomer gave him toss that
sent him down a nearby area, where
q NlaAAA VI bleeGH anu bltlNlCO
announced his prompt arrival
Then this unexpected ally turned
his attention to the others--the mar
quis, freed from his tormentor in the
rear, had opened his batteries upon
them afresh. and was dealing out his
blows with rockies abandon, when he
saw one Of them snatched bodily from
his feet and tossed through the open
door Of the four-wheeler as though
he might have been a mere sack of
oats.
Upon this the last OF the trio, who
proved to be no other than the driver,
uttered yell of fear and, scrambling
IN haste to hts seat, laid the whip on
his horse and clattered down the mar
row street.
THUS the held was suddenly cleared
OF enemies In double-quick order, and
the manner of their disposal seemed
TO greatly amuse the muscular. red
bearded giant who had come SO OPP
portunely to the assistance Of the be-
leaguored marquis, for he reared with
laughter
| Nouh oWA ~ yc DaAsAt Gnu A~AAA~

was stunned, but he recovered in time
to cry out.
Donald McGregor r. my life IL isl'

familiar in your yNce dinna ken-it's
vera curious
The marquis by his time had man
aged to get hold bis honest hand,
and was squeezing Il with much emo
ton.
All! McGregor, you're always doing
something for others The last l saw
of you, my dear fellow. was when l Of
fered myself as target for Captain
Liyermore's bullet, and declined to
murder him afterward.'
The man from Scotia uttered roar,
and insisted upon embracing the other,
much to the amusement of the crowd
that had gathered.
This extraordinary meeting was one
of the most pleasant things that had
occurred to the marquis since striking
London
He had in fashion made search for
this old and tried friend, but as yet
had been unable 70 get track Of him,
so that the encounter came as a most
agreeable surprise
McGregor's story was told in few
sentenees-he had taken wife and
started in brayely to increase the
population of Her Majesty's people
with pair Of twins as beginning,
but beastly luck had swooped down
upon him, and he was having hard
pull at present, though nothing could
crush his jolly spirits.
This pleased his companion more
than words could fll. since it opened
way for him 10 assist his old friend.
Worry no Longer, McGregor for
there is bright future ahead am
in way TO put you IN position
where money viii now into your pock-
cts. God bless you for tre-hearted
friend. There is my card-eall on me
at ten tomorrow and you can have

Go home to your wife and babies, and
remember me in yonr prayers Such
luck to meet you after searching in
yain--it must have been an espsc ial
act OF Providence When you come to

name to the Marquis Of Montezuma
Whereupon the McGregor was actu-
ally compelled to " against house
for support, so wo tderftll was the I'M
telligence thus com3nlaicated.
1t beats a. was all he could NUT
ter.
When safely landed in his hotel he
resolved never again to be caught
mapping in such reckless way.

Mazette Makes a Discovery.

Ma2ette Makes Discovery.
Affairs could not continue much fur
Their without coming to crisis.
There came the day when the mar
quis found he could no longer blind
one pair Of eyes, at least
Mazette had remembered.
The marquis was taken by surprise
when, upon entering the little studio,
he found Mazette in tears.
Come. what has gone wrong?" ne
exclaimed in dire dismay. for. like all
men. he felt his utter impotence under
such conditions.
She came toward him, smiling
through her tears-there was upon her
face reproach, delight and keen artis-
tic disappointment
why did you not tell me before?''
