CHEYENNE HAS
SETTLED DOWN
Frontier Day Is Over and BtSi-
ness Resumed After a Siren
uouS Celebration.
Especial to The HeraldO

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 19.-Cheyenne
is once more the Magic City of the
Plains, and business has been resumed
after three days of strenuous frontier
life. The chain gang is clearing away
the rubbish in the streets and alleys,
decorations are being taken down and
laid away for another year, race horses
are leaving the city. and the bucking
brOnChOS. wild horses and lOng-hOrned
steers have been turned out to Craze
and recuperate. The cowboy and cow
girl have returned to the ranch and
range. ranchmen have resumed haying,
will now have his inning.
The great frontier day celebration is
now at an end. 1t was great in every
way, and the people of Cheyenne, and
especially the committee that had
charge have reason to feel proud Of
their achievements, for the carnival
was the most successful of any ever
given, and assures a continuation of
the great wild west for a number Of
years.
Every one is satisfied over the re-
suits, with the possible exception of the
ladies' relay race, and owing to some
Misunderstanding there may be a con-
test before the cup and prizes are final
ly awarded.
The retention OF the championships
in the steer roping and rough riding
in Wyoming gives general satisfaction,
for Grteser, the new champion rough
rider, is popular and his performances
were acknowledged alike by judges and
the spectators. Charley Twins re-
markable feat of roping and "hog-tie-
ing" a steer in SO 1-5 seconds estab-
fishes a new worlds record for the
event where steers are given 100 feet
start, and which will probably stand
for many years. He easily demonstra-
ted his superior ability in this work,
and even Sheriff Will, the expert roper
of Florence, Ariz., acknowledged this.
ct believe I am almost as good said
viii, and some day 1 am coming back
here to try again. 1 may not be able
TO lower Twins time. which is marvel
Gus when the distance is considered,
but l may be able 10 win first money,
and this will be an accomplishment
that will more than repay me for the
trip, for your Frontier day ropers are
certainly the candy"

market, the prefecture of police and the
Nation Telegraph office all were Sc
rlously damaged. The lines of the cleo
trio tramway system and electric lfzht
wires were short-circuIted, interrupting
street car traffic and plunging the cit Y
INTO darkness. The scenes at the hos
pitals and prisons during the excite
ment were distressing in the extreme.
The prisoners tried to escape from the
jails in the hope that they might reach
place of safety and prison guards
were obliged to fire into the air in or
der TO intimidate and quet their panic
stricken charges.
Continuous Shocks.
There have been several return
shocks of slight intensity These shocks
nave served to continue the state of
public alarm and a state of panic still
prevails. The astronomical Observable
ny, however, has given out a statement
10 the effect that Ii does not appear
possible that there will be a repetition
of the severe shocks. Last night many
persons slept in the tramway cars. in
carriages and in the open air i'm the
public squares and streets. The gov
eminent has taken steps to restore or
der. An inspection of all houses left
standing has been ordered. and direc-
tons have been issued for the distribu
ton of relief supplies to those in need
troop of cavalry has been sent to re-
establish communication with Valpa-
raise.
Help Sent to Valparaiso.
The alarming news first received by
the government from Valparaiso as TO
the situation in that city has not been
confirmed, but 1t is known that numer-
GUS buildings in the vicinity of the port
N~rNr-s, IL
been severe fires in the Almendral
quarter. The mayor of Valparaiso sent
word that he did not know the number
of killed or injured but he believed that
they were numerous. Firemen left San
tiago yesterday for Valparaiso TO aid in
extinguishing the fires there The Gus
toms house in Valparaiso is reported to
be burning. Several travellers who have
just arrived here from VALPARAISO saw
that reports of the situation in that city
were exaggerated. Ar employee of the
telegraph service sent word from Salto
near Valparaiso confirming the news OF
serious fires in the Almendral quarter
This employe also sent news that the
Spanish italian bank was DESTROYED by
the earthquake. A traveller who came
here by express train tells that when
the train was near Las Vegas, about
half way between Valparaiso and San
tiago, the cars were shaken violently
and the engine nearly left the track. 4
stop was made and the terrified pas
sengers alighted. Later they proceed
ed TO Lai Llai. which they found in al
most total ruins.
All lines of railway to the north and
the line to Tacla are greatly damaged
In the city of Santiago a majority OF
the victims of the disaster were resi-
dents of the poorer sections Of the city
where many small houses were thrown
TO the ground. Several deaths from
nervous excitement and heart disease
are reported.
