Smith was sustained as prophet, seer
and revelator BY unanimous vote Of
the members Of the Mormon church

TO the proper authorities. The incl
dent created a profound sensation.

against sustaining such officers Of the
church as live In polygamy.
Among the apostles sustained were
Apostles Taylor and Cowley. In his
testimony before the senate inyestigat-

This grating Of political consider

Of the present administration to cope
adequately with cholera. The resolu-
lions declare that an Improvement In
economic conditions Of the people Is

to have radical changes in the tax
laws, an increase in the quantity OF

Footpad Took Money From Yard

The Cheyenne Tribune of yesterday
afternoon gives in detail the assault
upon Will Blalock, yardmaster al
Cheyenne and formerly night yard.
master here, mentioned in The Repub.
lican yesterday afternoon:
Yesterday morning about 2 O'Clock
William Blalock, yardmaster for the
Union Pacific at this point, was the
victim of a daring and successful
holdup by two boy highwaymen. who
sandbagged Blalock and secured SIPS,
which the yardmaster had in his
pockets.
Shortly before the holdup Mr.. Bla-
lock was in the Capitol, and it is
thought it was here the two young
men discovered hat Blalock carried
considerable money on his person.
When he left the establishment and
started up Ferguson street he was fol.
lowed by two young men. Blalock
states he realized he was being fol.
lowed, and so when he reached Twen-
ty-first street, at the J.. w. Hammond
corner, he turned sharply to the east
and up Twenty-first street. The two
footpads were only half a block be.
hind, and seeing Blalock cross the
street, they cut across and intercepted
him in front of the Jableman resi-
dence.
"Hey!" called out n Of the young
men.
Although realizing what was to oc-
cur, Blalock stopped.
What do you want?" he asked.
Have you got a match?"
Blalock started to reach in his
pocket for a match when one Of the
young men struck him a stunning
blow over the left temple with a sand.
bag. and Blalock fell to the ground.
He was not rendered unconscious, and
when one of the footpads kicked him
in the side. exclaimed:
III l have got anything you want,
take it, but don't kick a man when
he is down"
One of the footpads at once put his
hand in Blalock's pocket and pulled
out the money, amounting to $125.
At this juncture a boy came up the
street on a wheel and the two foot
pads fled without taking Blalock's val
liable watch, going west on Twenty
first street and disappearing.
Blalock has given a fairly good de.
authorities, but SO far no trace of the
young highwaymen has been found.
The holdups are both young men,
about 20 or 20 years of age.

Certain Weather Indications.

Distant sound heard distinctly fore
bodies no good weather. If the sun
draws up water" it will rain. The
pitcher sweating and the teakettle
boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob
webs thickly sproyh upon the grass
are an indication Of fair weather.
Animal life seems, according to tho
popular notion. to have peculiar
warnings regarding the weather
changes. Some Of these are explain.
able by natural causes. 1t is a fact
recognized by all intelligent stock
