The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-11-19

Ihe Is off wrong when it
says that the governor cannot proceed
to the organization of Pease and Crook
counties without a petition from five
hundred citizens. The redistricting act
being subsequent to the one requiring
that formality virtually repeals it in SO
FAR as there Is any conflict, and this act
provides for he organization of those
counties by a different procedure
San.
Will our contemporary explain, then,
why Crook and Pease counties have not
been organizedp II the redistricting
act repeats the law which provides that
five hundred electors shall petition the
governor, before those counties can be
organized, there certainly is no obstacle
in the way. We suppose that a half a
dozen Inhabitants ear be found in each
Of these "counties'' to fill the offices;
and, IL not, soldiers could be detailed to
perform the duties temporarily. Sitting
Bull, We think, could also be persuaded
to return to his native country, provided
the appointment of sheriff Of Pease
county was held out to him as al in
ducement.

hose company, drew one Of the largest,
most fashionable and critical audiences
ever seen in Cheyenne. The play Is

was not shorn last night of an iota of
Its beauty and attraction, being pre-
sented by such an array of talent.
Mrs. Bowers, in the leading role of
Pauline probably never appeared
to better advantage, and the great
heroine pictured by Bulwer was adj
mirably represented by her. Mr..
McCollom, as Claude Melnotte,' u
exhibited more than usual care in per-
forming the part assigned him. In the
act where he carries his bride to the
home of his mother, he was unusually
effective; he was spirited but not rude,
nor given to stacy demonstrations.
Mrs. Bowers and MI. McCollom were
we'll sustained throughout by the For
rosters, who Of course were perfectly
familiar with the piece.
The evenings entertainment was
concluded by the rendition of the
