the immediate extension of that road
to Cheyenne. The managers Of the
Denver Pacific railroad met with Pres
ident Edgerton, Gen. Evans, Mr..
Moffat and the county commissioners
on Wednesday evening. The opposing
factions had their attorney at hand for
convenience sake. and a lively, (more
lively than interesting, as the Denver
Tribune says), discussion was had.
EXAMINATIONS, recriminations and per-
sonal remarks, were the weapons used
by the combattants. Aside from per-
sonal accusations, the discussion was
distinguished only for an often repeated
assertion, on which subject the oppos-
Ing factions exhibited a remarkable
unanimity, that the building of the
Longmont extension to Cheyenne must
be stopped. Governor Evans admitted
that he had gone all the way from Den
yer to Laramie to accomplish this with
Gould and Dillon, but had failed, and
he wanted President Edgerton to take
hold and try. He thought that the
Longmont branch might yet be stopped.
Mr. Edgerton replied that though
Gov. Evans had failed to make a trade
with Jay Gould lie felt confident he
could make it.
Gov. Evans said he did not trade with
Gould. If Mr.. Edgerton performed all
he promised, be would have his hearty
support.
81 am ready" said Mr.. Edgerton,
to issue coupon tickets with the Union
Pacific, pro rate, and divide with
them"
Evans-Suppose they won't do this ?
Crocker-Well, if they won't, we
can't help it.
Mr.. Redick asked, do you think
you can make the road pay expenses,
the interest on the bonds, ETC., under
your management p'
81 am quite sure that l CAM replied
Mr.. Edgerton. "That is my opinion
as a railroad man."
"If the Longmont branch is built"
II don't want to discuss that"
AIr. Sayre said that he would think
Gov. Evans conduct very magnani-
nous, if he didn't think he wanted to
be receiver of the road.
Gov. Evans replied, THAT is d per-
sonal remark that I will not answer"
When the agreement was again men
toned, Mr.. Gould replied, sit is too
late, Governor, 1 have agreed to build
the Longmont branch" He then told
Gould what he thought of his project
and babe him goodbye, He told him
how it might be in his power TO make it
lively for him and his new road, and
how he would do that. THAT was the
way I parted with him, and the way
you are inclined to treat me is unfair"
Sayre-You want the suit to go on
and. expect TO be receiver. You are
willing TO make these negotiations but
are not willing to have Edgerton do il.
Here Mr. Mills, county attorney,
asked the governor If he thought there
Ia any lmpropriety in remaining still
for the present to see what might be
done.
Gov. Evans did not think there
would be any improperly III that; but
he didn't think the suit should be post
poned. Delay is fatal. The wires run
to New York, and Mr.. Fdgerton could
use them to effect his agreement with
Jay Gould.
Here a general reconciliation occur
red. Mr.. Edgerton said he recognized
the governor as an important mar in
the Denver Pacific business and Mr..
Sayre asked him to smoke.
But this truce was of short duration.
Mr.. Redick favored entering into the
agreement with MIR. Edgerton. 1t
would be, he said, fifteen days at least
before a receiver could be had.
II don't want a receiver want a
stipulation, :" said the governor.
II won't make It," said Mr.. Edger-
ton.
But Mr.. Redick claimed thai lie did
as much In another way.
As to the Lopgmont branch Mr..
Edgerton said it was of no Importance.
Evans-You don't think they will
build it?
Edgerton-lt is music fox you 10
dance to.
Evans-I don't dance to 1t nor to
yours.
Mr.. Moffat then made q few remarks;
then Mr.. Redick gave the county COM
missioners some good advice, and told
them to ''treat' with Mr.. Edgerton.
Gov. Evans said he would be -
before he would do 1t, and thus give the
management an opportunity to give
Denver away.
After further fruitless talk, it vas
unanimously resolved 'to instruct
President Edgerton to see immediately
