CHETENNB, June is now staying in this city a woman whose matrimonial experience has been sufficiently singular. She has had two husbands, both in a measure fpublic acters, and both doomed to a violent death. In 1847, then a girl of fifteen, she married gVTillium Lake, a well- known clown and showman, whose circus was fainobs all over the Union in the earlier days of the business, before mammoth aggregations like Barnuna 1 took the field. She was financial manager of the concern, and being a woman of natjural parts and positive character, proved a very successful financier. August 21, 1869, while the circus was exhibiting at Qranby, Newtonj County, aj loafer named Jake Kilhan, slipped in without paying.

Lake' noticed this, and summoning a couple of men, ejected the dead-bead, who armed himself, returned to the tent, paid his way in, and seeking out Lake, shot him dead. The murderer escaped, but was tracked, captured, tried, convicted and sentenced--to three and a half years in the penitentiary. After her husband's death Mrs. Lake took the management of the circus, which she conducted for three seasons, visiting all parts of the Union. She then sold off her menagerie, ipparatus and stud, and settled in some Western city--Chicago, I think-whence the winter of 1873 6 she proceeded to San Francisco.

There she remained but a few weeks, coming to Cheyenne a year ago last April, where a little afterward she married again, her husband being B. Hickok, so widely known as i Bill." Custer has given a graphic picture of "Wild Bill," and Eastern readers may remember a sketch of his adventures which, appeared in Harper's. "He was," says Custer, "a plainsman in every sense of the WHwd, yet unlike any other of his class In person he was about six feet one I in height, straight as the straiglitest of the warriors whose implacable foe he was; broad shoulders, well formed chest and limbs, and a face strikingly handsome; a sharp, clear, blue sye which stared you straight in the face when in conversation; a finely shaped nose, inclined to be aquiline; a ivell lurned mouth, with lips only parti ally concealed by a handsome mustache. His hair and complexion werej those of the perfect blonde. The former was worn in uncut ringlets, falling carelessly ov his powerfully formed shoulders.

Of his courage there could be no question; jit had been brought to a test on too many occasions to admit of a doubt. His skill in the use of the rifle and pis tol was unerring, while his deportment vraa exactly the opposite of what might be expected from a man of his surroundings. It was entirely free from all bluster or bravado. He seldom spoki of himself unless requested to do so. tlis conversation, strange to say, never bordered either on the vulgar or the blasphemous.

His influence among the frontiersmen was unbounded, his word was law, and many are the personal quarrels and disturbances which he hks checked among hrs comrades by his simple announcement, This has gone! far followed, if need be by the ominous warning that -if persisted in or renewed the -quareler must settlk with Wild Bill is anything but a quarrelsome man, yet no man but himself can enumerate the many conflicts in which he has been engaged, and BFhicb, have almost invariably in the death of his adversary. He always escaped unhurt. Wild Bill always carried two handsotae ivory- ham lied revolvers of the large size; he was never seen without them. In all of tie many affairs in which he has beei engaged which have come to my kno fledge there is not a single instance in which the verdict of twelve fair- ruin men would not be pronounced in his favor. ith this Adonis of the plains, as I' havi already said, Mrs.

Such a letter, betraying the most loviilike aspirations and a strong vein of Romance, was to be looked for from such a man as Custer, and described and analyzed, though it will read oddly to i ny one at the East accustomed to regard the frontiersman of many brawls as cf necessity a bully and a black- gOtjrd.
