An Important Decision.

Sherman Thurston recently sued
the Union Pacific Railroad Co. for
So, 00O damages. Thurston is n noted
monte sharp, and had bought a ticket
costing STAT, but as soon as lie was
discovered on the train by the conduc-
tor lie was forcibly elected and for this
brought suit. Thurston recovered a
verdict Of S1.47 against the railroad
company, that being the amount he
paid for his ticket when he was PUT off
the train, and which had never been
refunded to him. The result of this
case, tried in the United States courts,
shows that railroad companies, for the
protection of their passengers, ave a
right to eject three-card monte men.
In his charge to thejury, Judge Dundy
says: Neither would such company
be bound 10 transport n person fleeing
from justice nor n who might go
upon the trains for the purpose of
assaulting the passengers nor fort the
purpose of committing larceny or rob-
berry, nor for the purpose of Interior
ing with the proper regulations of the
company. or in running of the trains;
nor for gambling, playing three-card
monte, OF committing any other GRIM
inal offense on the cars. Neither is a
transportation company hound to
transport any person infected with a
contagious disease, by which the safety
of the passengers might be endangered.
Common carriers are not, therefore,
bound to furnish to others facilities
for injuring their W business, nor
for the commission of crime, nor for
the escape of criminals, nor for any,
thing that is in itself improper or
unlawful"

Alter Ego" writing from ort
Laramie under date May 9th. says;
THE garrison was startled last even
ing by the news that Indians had, the
evening bef0Te, visited Hunton's
ranch, on the Chuggater, twenty-six
miles south Of this post, and stolen
thirty head Of horses. Besides this,
James Hunton, a well known from
tiersman, vas supposed 10 have been
killed, from the fact that his horse
came galloping into the ranch without
the rider. Twenty men, under Lieut..
Allison, were Immediately started in
pursuit of the marauders. and IL soon
after transpired that the report was
only too well founded. Mr.. Hunton
had rode out into the hills in search of
stray stock, and when some five or six
miles from the ranch was evidently
surprised Icy about thirty Indians.
From the appearance of the ground in
the vicinity it is believed that his
horse, in making some terrible bounds
to escape, unfortunately stumbled and
threw his rider that Mr.. Hunton re-
gained his feet and ran some fifty
yards. when he, catching his foot in a
vine, also stumbled. There he was
surrounded, and the savages amused
themselves ~ firing eight bullets into
his head and body, almost any II of
which would have proved fatal. The
ground in the vicinity of where the
body was discovered was literally COW
cred with moccasin tracks.
The savages then %endeavored to
catch the horse, which is known all
over this frontier rs being a very SUI
perior animal. They ran him until
arriving in sight of the ranch, and
finding their endeavors vain in that
direction, remained lying concealed
until night, when they broke into a
corral and pasture field near the house
and rescued the thirty horses already
referred 10. Their tail leads In the
direction of Red Cloud agency, and
owing 10 q ''cut OFF, made by Lieut..
Allison. it is not unlikely that he will
either strike them before they reach
that hive of rascally bees. or else make
the pursuit 30 hot that they will be
glad to relinquish their booty and
scatter to the four winds. l am re-
