THRILLING ARREST
OF BOLD BANDITS.

On the second page of this impress
sion will be found an article of great
interest to all those rugged pioneers
who made their home in Wyoming in
the sixties and seventies. Those were
days that tried mems souls and put
the nerve OF the peace officers and
loyal citizens generally to the extrem
est test. Men of determination and
nerve were expected to be in readiness
at all times to stake their lives for the
good of the state.
In the Rock Creek episode ,thrillingly
narrated in this issue, strong men took
part. 1t was a trial of metal on both
sides and the law rose supreme. In
this story a heretofore unpublished
chapter is given, that in relation to the
forced confession of Manuse right with
in the limits of Laramie. For the first
time The Republican gives to its read
ers the fact that General Superintend-
ent Clark and Superintendent Dickin-
son engaged in a little rope-pulling.
They were strong men and necessity
forced them to strong measures.

How To Tell.

For the benefit of my readers, many
of whom are not what might be called
practical newspaper men and women,
1 will say that If your time is precious,
and life is too short for you to fool
away your evenings reading local ad-
vertisements, and you are at times in
grave doubt as to what Is advertise
ment and what is news, just cast your
y to the bottom of the article, and II
there is a foot. note which says "ty4-
fritu. 3dp&wly, hcolnrm-br-iny- IS tfw'
ly&df- codtf,' or something OF that
stripe, you may safely say that no mat
ter how much confidence you may have
had in the editor up to that date, the
article with a foot-note of that l Is
published from a purely mercenary
motive, and the editor may or may not
endorse the sentiments therein enun'
c!ated.-Bill Nye.

Evidently it is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good. Although this severe
weather froze up the water barrel and
doubles the coal bill. | am filled with
a great large feeling of gratitude and
pleasure this evening, for the last pale
house plant, which for two or three
weeks has been signing for immortal
ity, last night about midnight, got all
the Immortality it wanted, and this
morning no doubt it is blooming in the
new Jerusalem. | am glad it will bloom
somewhere. 1t never got up steam
enough to bloom here.
The head of the house thought he
heard the rustic OF wings in the still
hours of night, and arising in all the
voluptuous sweep of his night robe, and
with the clear white beams of the win:
ter moon lighting up the angles and
gothic architecture of his picturesque
proportions, he stepped h bedside
of the sickly little thing to ask if there
was anything he could do, any last
words that the little plant would like
to have preserved. or anything of the
kind, but it was too late. John Frost
had been there, and touched the little
thing with his icy finger, and all was
still. The agricultural editor breathed
a sigh of relief and went back to rest
%neglecting to awaken the other mem
bers Of the house. because he did MOI
want a scene.
Any one desiring a medium size
flower pot as good as new. can Obtain
one at this office very reasonably
