lie Black Hills Railroad.

The Denver Democrat, which is re-
garded throughout Colorado rs the
official paper of the Colorado Central R.
r. Co., says:
LAS we explained in our railroad
column last week, the Sidney route to
the Black Hills is strongly favored by
General Evans, whose figures show a
larger gain to the Union Pacific by its
adoption that said company, or its Col
orado connection, a ever hope to re-
allie from the Laramie county bonds.
To offset this the Colorado Central
pleads the greater convenience of a
start from Cheyenne, and this plea, in
connection with a friendly disposition
on the part of Cheyenne, may balance
the Evans report. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that neither the
Union Pacific nor the Colorado Central
are making a fight for the bonds in
question, though the Kansas Pacific is
waging al active campaign against
them, and talks glibly of narrow guage
line to the North Platte river. A cor
poration that is in the hands of the
courts is not apt to build many rail-
roads-except on paper"
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-01-18
Our Uncovered CITY.

Cheyenne is enjoying a sort of respite,
or holiday, from the calling %despotism
of q city government. True, the Mar
shall and police, and the Treasurer and
clerk as well, still exercise the authority
of their respective offices, but we have
no Mayor or Council, and shall enjoy
this sweet sense of freedom until Tues
day next, when the old Board of Trus-
tees, now clothed with power only as n
canvassing board, will meet to canvass
the returns of the late election, and de-
clare who are the elect. Mayor Bres-
nahen and the new Council will then
qualify, take the oath of office, and
take upon themselves the duties of
guardians of the public morals and
finances.
Until then, however, let us bask in
the sunshine Of liberty, kick up our
heels and shout, and revel in the delic-
ious sense of freedom which we enjoy.

Fire Department Meetinu.

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Fire Department at the
City Hall last evening, the various COM
panies of the city being well repre-
sented.
The meeting was called to order by
Chief Engineer Waldraven, who was
elected chairman. Mr.. J. X. Jeffrey
was elected secretary.
The first business in order was the
election of a Chief Engineer for the
ensuing year. NJ. E. Waldraven was
nominated and elected at once by ac-
clamation.
Next came the election of an Assis-
tant Chief Engineer. Herman Haas
and NJ. p. Hannifn were nominated.
On the first ballot Mr.. Haas received
"a votes and Mr.. Hannifin 10.
On motion Mr.. Haas was declared
the unanimous choice for the position
of Assistant Chief.
The organization wa then completed
by the election of Mr.. John f. Wild as
Treasurer and Mr.. J. X. Jeffrey rs
Secretary.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

The Fire Department.

1t is currently rumored that the
members elect of the City Council pro-
pose to repudiate the action of the old
Board of Trustees in purchasing hose,
a hose cart and 4 hook and ladder out
fit, and contracting for the erection Of
a house for the Alert Hose Co. We
cannot credit the statement, and hope
that it is untrue. The outfit men,
toned has been contracted for and
shipped in good faith. The hose has
already arrived, been tested and ac-
copied. All these things were pur-
chased in a legitimate manner, and it is
our opinion that they should be nc
copied and paid for. As to the hose
house, we have ut opinion to express.
The members of the company are much
chagrined at the idea of repudiating
the contract for its erection.

The Penitontiary Commission.

GOV. Thayer aud Messrs. Murrin,
Durlacher and Lanktree, constituting
the Territorial Board of P~enitentiary
Commissioners, met yesterday ut the
Executive office to consider measures
of economy in the care of our convicts.
Their session was quite brief. Propo-
sitions of certain managers of eastern
prisons were read, and others were
t~elegraphed for, after which the Com
mission adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning, when it is expected that
some definite conclusion will be ar.
rived at.

After n grandly successful season on
the Pacific coast, the Richings-Bernard
Opera company, augmented by the adj
dition of the celebrated Madame DE
Murska, and II renowned tenor, Mr..
Hitler, is returning to the east, and
will appear in Cheyenne for three
nights, beginning on Tuesday evening,

STOCK sTRAYS.

Notwithstanding the cold weather,
rays the Fairplay Sentinel, stock, and
particularly sheep, are doing exceeding
ly well in South Park.
The stock men having cattle on the
range north of Greeley drove some eight
hundred head west to better feed in the
neighborhood of Crow creek last We'd
nesday.
The sheep growers of FL Paso coun-
ty, Colo, want storm signals hoisted on
Pixies Peak by the Signal Service Off
Ger, which could be seen from all parts
of the county with field glasses, and
would enable herders to hasten their
fiocks into shelter when storms ap-
proach.
Mill Brook ranch, the property of II.
g. Rand, L. G. Briggs, A. Talbot and
G. j. Steedman, consists of l 300 acres,
all under fence, is situated in Albany
county, on the Little Laramie, twenty

Mr.. Eugene Lennon informs us
that his $500 sheep are doing splendidly
on the range at the mouth of Crow
creek, on the east side, and that the
large flocks of Messrs. Hoover 81 Pat
ton, on the west side of Crow creek,
are also thriving finely. The Messrs.
Bennett have removed their flocks from
the Pinneo range to Fremont's Orchard
and points below. Messrs. Todd have
flocks ~aggregating BOO on the Platte
