Last night an officer found a tramp
who gives his name as James Carman,
In a stable on Sixteenth street, between
Eddy and Themes, where he had gone
to seek shelter. In his pocket he had
Sl.90 in change. He also had with
him a certificate of deposit from the
First national bank of Hollidaysburg,
Pa, for the sum Of $3.50, payable in
six months and bearing interest ut the
rate Of five per cent. q year. The time
is nearly run out when the certificate is
due. Parties who saw the instrument
Of writing declare that they believe 1t
to be genuine. Carman is an English.
man, and says he has no relatives in
this country. 1t Is certainly a strange
ase that q man with enough money In
his pocket to procure . comfortable
lodging, and with the evidence of
wealth about HIM, should expose him.
self and nearly freeze to death in q
stable.

The Soda Lake Contest.


The contest now in progress between
certain parties, and being discussed be-
fore the register and receiver of the
land Office here is one Of more than
usual interest and Importance.
The soda lakes, as many of our read
ers are aware, are located in Carbon
county, this territory, and about 60
miles north of Rawlins near the Sweet
water river. 1t seems that the bone
of contention is one Of the smallest of
these lakes but regarded Us valuable, IL
not more so, than either of the others.
1t is supposed by the best judges to
contain a sufficient quantity of carbon
ate Of soda to realize for its owners a
sum which will not fall short of 3d.
O00,O zoo.
Right here the question of ownership
arises. Its great value resulted in liti-
CATION commencing as far back as 1875
over four years ago. In 1872 Messrs.
France, Baxter Z Smarter located me
lake but sometime during the following
year Messrs. Sun, Harrington s.
Earnest located it and proceeded to ac-
tive business; claiming that it had been
abandoned by France, Baxter & Shat
fer. During the year 1875 litigation
arose between the above named and,
after trial, q decision was made in favor
Of the France party The case is now
again under discussion on account of
its having been sent back by Commiss-
Toner Williamson Of the land Office at
Washington with instructions to re-
open 1t and hear testimony so far as re-
lates to the alleged abandonment of the
