For some time past the Cheyenne &
Black Hills Stage Co. has been negoti-
ating for the purpose of purchasing the
Western stage line, a sickly outfit
which has been operating over the Sid
ney route to the Black Hills, but has
only succeeded in buying the interest of
Jim Stephenson, the other partners re-
fusing to sell. On Sunday Luke voor-
hees went to Sidney with the idea of
closing the purchase if possible, or
making other arrangements, and a
telegram from Sidney, received last
night, informs US that he is now en-
gagged in putting on a daily stage line
over that route on his own account.
This will probably force the Western
company to haul off entirely, soon.
