Friday, Judge William E. Horn, who has

Atlanta, waa at the Kimball house with a

"Yea, I have bora down In the gold belt and

Dixrti, May 28.—Tho cattle growers ol
(his section make their headquarters in Denver,
*nd it frequently happens that they have to
use the wirco very freely in atralgbtoning out
difficulties that may occur on their ranches.
Some of those men are very wealthy, and,
having little to do, they rather enjoy the re
ceipt of telegrams from their bouu, oven
when they relate to unimportant matter*. In
order to give them something to think abont
and to satisfy their craving tor a reputation u
careful business men, they frequently instruct
tba ranch bouu to report to them by wire
everything of importance that occurs. Oc-
cuionally a competent boss will object to this
red-tapeiam, but u a rule the men fall in with
the idea, and if they grumble at all, they wait
until the owner’s back is turned. The Sun

being then about nalbpast twelve, and that she
would put him in a third floor room, furnished
with a bine suit of furniture.” Further on in his
complaint, Simons alleges that he was kept a pris
