In September. During the next three

to be paid by the saloonist will be $27.10
per month to the city clerk , unless the land
lords take precautions against being left
in The hole by dishonest tenants and com
pel the saloon ketjiers to put up their $300

Is primarily liable to tbe county.

CHEYENNE , May 2 * . ( Special Te ! ram
to Tbe Bee. ) Judge Rlntr of the United
States circuit court for the district of
Wyoming this afternoon paMed sentence
ui n fifteen members of company H , Port
land Industrial army , who were arrested at
Cokevlll * by United States Marshal Rankin
and brought to this city for trial. Tbe
Judgment of the court was tbat B. F.
Hushes , R. F. Weed and C. O'Brien , who
appear to have been among the leaders who
urged the men to seiee tbe train at Mont-
peller. be punished by confinement In tbe
county Jail of Liramle county , Wyoming , for
a term of five m-jnthv. and that Al Smith ,
J. Short. E. P. Deieraux , Charles Myers.
Peter Scbuter. John Bamford. J. Clark.
Barney Reel. C. J. Powell , F. Linn. Fre-d
Bailey and J. W. Rowlands be confined for
four months. .
The prisoners listened to the Judgment of
tbe court with marked attention , but when
the sentence was finally passed they were
greatly crtstfallen. They evidently thought
they would get off with thirty or sixty days
at the outside. In justing sentence , the
court cald that It had been shown by clear
and positive proof that the men on trial ,
together with a number of other ? . to > > \ the
engine. In the possession of tie Union Pacific
receivers appointed by the circuit court ,
from the round house at Montpeller. Idaho ,
coupled It on to six box cars , and agclnst
the protest of the offirers of the reicelverp.
ran It to Cokeville. In ihe state of Wyoming.
In BO doing , they utterly disregarded the
rules , regulations and time schedules pro
mulgated by the receivers for the purpose of
protecting the lives of their employer. , as
well as the lives and property of persons
being transported war the lines of railroads
under th-lr control.
"It is the business of this court , con
tinued the court , "so long as this property
remains under its control to see to It that
the responsibility of the r-c Ivers li
not Increased and that property and
human life is not put in J opard/
by such unlawful proceedings as
were retorted to by jou in this instance.
If the property undsr the control of tbe re
ceivers Is illegally seized and taken from
them It Is the bounden duty of the o cers
of the court to use al the power of the
government at their command to protect the
receivers and the property intrusted to them
by tbe court. Ths receivers have the tole
and exculslve right to operate trains over
the Union Pacific road and manage Its prop
erty , and it is -violation of law of vhich
this court-is bound to take notice , for any
person or number of pzrsons to Interfere
with this property or tbe right of the re
ceivers to operate it. The evld-nce shows
that there was a common design on the part
of this body of men to accomplish the same
unlawful purpose and every man connected
with this pioceedlng must be regarded as a
party to all the acts done by any of tbe
others in the furtherancs of the common de
sign.
"The Judgment of the court will be that
you and each of jou are guilty of contempt
of the authority of this court in that you
disobe ) ed Its ord rs and commands and il
legally end without th : consent of ths re-
cehera brought this train of cars within tbe
Jur.bJIction of this court. "
United States Marshal Rankin received a
telegram from Superintendent Bancroft of
the Union Pacific at Salt Lake this after
noon stating that about fifty Industrials had
boarded an eastbound freight train at Beck-
with , a station on the Oregon Short line ,
fifteen miles from the- Idaho border , this ,
morning , and refused to leave It. The train
was sidetracked and the engine returned to
Montpsller. Mr. Bancroft stated that the
company would continue to run trains
through Beckwith , but no stops would be
made there. Marshal Ranktn will send
deputies from here on the early morning
train to arrest the Industrials. Probably a
company of soldiers will accompany them
from Green River.

tbe sequel to a most cowardly assault upon
a woman , which occurred at 11 o'clock Tues

man named Tracy fought In Schommer's
saloon , and Hermann Erpenbeck went to call
an officer. Tbe fight was over when the
policeman arrived , but Doyle threatened to
do violence to Erpenbeck for calling the of
ficer in.
Tuesday night Mrs. Erpenbeck went to
call on a friend , agreelne to meet her bus-
band at Schommer's saloon afterward and
come home with him. He got tired waiting
for her there and then went after her. In
the meantime she called at tbe saloon , and
not finding her husband , started home.
Near Thirty-elghttr-and Cumins streets she
was overtaken by a man who she thinks
was Doyle and assaulted by him. She was
struck ou tbe bead and fell unconscious
to the sidewalk. Partially recovering , she
dragged herself to the home of Mr. Richard
son , close by , and ho abcompanled her home.
She remained In a dazfd" condition the re
mainder of the night , -but , fully regained her
senses yesterday. The. police are looking
