LOTTERY GAME CHARGED.
Shoe Club Scheme to Be Investigated
by the Courts.

! Last week on every hand some-
one would approach you with the
question of whether you wanted
a pair of shoes for Is cents.
Upon investigation it was found
that you could buy a coupon for
that amount, that, if other condi-
ditions were complied with you
could secure pair Of shoes free.
Many people purchased the cou-
pom and selling was being done
on every street and almost in ev-
cry house for a few days.
The police got busy and soon
the arrest of ]. P. Black, the
author of the scheme, was ar
rested and gave bond in the sum
of S10o for his appearance at the
next term of superior court.
| The facts are these: Black ar
rived in this city on Thursday
and agreed with Burch-Gorman
& Co., to put on an advertising
scheme that would sell them
shoes. His scheme, as explained
to the management and endorsed
by the firm, was that he was to
get twenty-five cents for each
$3.50 pair of shoes sold on his
scheme. This was agreed to, the
firm named agreeing to furnish
the shoes at $3.50, that for any
shoeofthatpricein stock on the
presentation of an order from J.
P. Black. In the meantime Black
had deposited with the company
money sufficient to cover the
sales of many shoes.
4
This being agreed then Black
put on his scheme. 1t was to
Esell to one person a book of five
tickets for seventy five cents.
These the purchaser sell to his
friends for fifteen cents each,
which would get back to the orr
ginal purchaser his money. Then
as soon as each of the new hold
ers of the tickets presented these
in the office of Mr.. Black they
were sold a book for seventy-five
cents each and they went out on
the street and went to work.
| All each person had to do was to
get a book OF five tickets, dis
pose of these to their friends
who would redeem them by get
ting another book each and the
shoes were due to the original
person in each instance.
This was the scheme and the
people bit" They went to the
office in droves and in crowds.
Books were issued so rapidly that
the management had to employ'a
clerk and stenographer. It kept
both of them busy and books
were issued by the handfuls. In
less than a day and a half. so it
is learned the management of the
scheme issued books that num-
bered as high as $50.

PLAIN ELECTION FRAUD.
Democratic Contestant for Butte
MayoraIty Acknowledges Defeat.

Butte, Mont, May 21.-Counsel for
Jerry Mahoney, democratic candidate
for mayor at the last municipal cleo
ton, who contested the election of
Mayor Joseph Corby, has acknowledg-
ed defeat. Fifty-one ballots marked
for Mahoney were such palpable
frauds that Mahoney himself denounc.
ed them. When the ballot sacks were
taken from the vaults of the city hall
last Wednesday the seals on several of
them were broken. In two wards the
ballots were patiently erased and mutt
lated, and the confession, Mahoney, him
self held them unfit for evidence. The
hearing was closed with Corey sustain
ed as mayor. No effort to investigate
the fraud has been made.

TO KILL

Laramie is interested in anything
that will assist in removing from it's
lawns the yellow peril" as the dande-
lions have been named. Mr.. Oscar
Braun, the sexton at the Cheyenne city
cemetery, claims to have a preparation
that will kill them. He learned of this
compound in Germany and gives it to
the people for what it is worth. The
Leader publishes the recipe as fol-
lows:
'In the first place, Mr.. Braun gave
the constituents of the dandelion killer,
which was a solution or mixture of 100
pounds of sulphate of iron with 54 gal
Ions of water, or any other amount of
either in relative proportions. Put this
in an Aspenwall sprayer. which can be
obtained in the city for rs cents. The
sulphate will dissolve in a few hours,
and If you wish to hurry it it can be
done in a few minutes by heating the
water.
with this solution spray the entire
lawn, wherever there are dandelions,
and the dandelions will be killed while
the grass remains uninjured.
Shortly after spraying the dande-
lions begin to turn black. In two days
they will be dry, dead and black, and
in a week they will be nothing but lit
tie heaps Of black ashes.
After spraying, and one spraying
will be sufficient, the grass should not
be watered for two days, as the solu-
ton must not be washed off until it
has had time to have it's full effect.
"Mr. Braun showed the Leader man
patches of grass that had been treated
and showed the remarkable action Of
this remedy. One place, which a few
days ago was full of dandelions, was
shown to be entirely free of them and
the grass was fresh and green. In an
other place, sprayed yesterday morn
ing, he exhibited the plants in process
of destruction. While the dandelion
bloom was apparently fresh the stalk
was turning black. The sulphate,' he
said, is beginning it's work and will
gradually eat the plant up, or burn it
up. Tomorrow morning it will be all
black, and practically destroyed. In a
week it will be nothing but ashes.'
"The remedy works perfectly and
no plants escape, to spread and make
more trouble. The determination is
complete.
at is a curious fact that while the
solution does not injure the grass, 1t
is a deadly enemy, not only Of the dam
delion, but of several kinds of weeds,
including the thistle.
'"Those who do not require the large
amount mentioned, al buy two or
three pounds OF the sulphate Of iron,
or copperas, and fix the solution with
very little cost and trouble.
"Mr. Braun, who has very large
areas to work upon has already pre-
pared a fifty gallon barrel full of the
solution.
after examining Mr.. Braun's opera.
tons in killing dandelions the Leader
is perfectly satisfied that the dandelion
can be absolutely and completely de-
stroyed by this remedy, which will be
an inestimable boon to our city and its
dandelion ~destroyers."
