WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A de-
cision was rendered in the United
States Supreme Court, this after
noon, in the case of the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway Company
VS.. the Canon City and San Juan
Railway Company. Upon petition, a
mandamus writ was asked for by
the Denver and Rio Grande Com
pany, upon the grounds that the
United States Circuit Court for the
District of Colorado had disregarded
the mandate of this Court in its
decision of the points at issue last
term. This Court, however, denies
the petition for mandamus, upon
the ground that, as to the substan-
tial matters complained of by the
Denver Company, the Circuit
Court was at liberty to ex-
ercise judicial discretion, and that
in such cases the remedy for errors
committed was by appeal, and
not by mandamus. This court, how
ever, declines to express any opinion
as to whether DEGREES of July, 1879,
and January, 1880, contain errors
to the prejudice of either party;
but as the rights Of Denver company
will cease under the provisions of
an act of Congress, in 1882, as to
the portions Of its road then un-
finished, the court considers it its
duty to afford the parties an early
and final determination Of their
controversy upon the merits. 1t
therefore announces upon the per~
fection of an appeal, and upon the
filing Of transcript, it will hear q
motion to advance the cause for con-
sideration at the present term.

saturdays Chattanooga Times.l


Mr.. Geo. r Denton passed through
the city yesterday en- route for his
home In upper East Tennessee. Mr..
Denton is on his return from Texas,
and relates sad story OF his misfor.
tunes.
He left his home In East Tennessee
q few days ago to try his fortunes In
the West. His wife and three children
accompanied him. He was then in
easy circumstances. His children
were lively, rosy checked and healthy,
and his wife was In the enjoyment OF
o healthfuI and vigorous womanhood.
They left their home with bright
visions for the future; with every
prospect of success and happiness He
engaged In farming In Texas, and for q
while IL seemed as II their expectations
of prosperity would be realized; but
soon the deadly ague laid it's merciless
hand upon bis little girls, and one by
one they were buried. He was almost
distracted with grief and began
neglecting his bu illness. But bis cup
OF bitterness still was not full His
wife died a few weeks sf.er his last
child had been buried, After this
came business reverses, and from all
he had scarcely sufficient left to bripg
him to his native home. Tbls Is 'he
story as he related IL to US.
He seems almost heartbroken; MS
fortune is shattered, aud ne Is per-
feet physical wreck. He Is now
going home, he says to die. A perfect
exhibition Of what's sometimes In the
alluring prospects of Western life

LAS VEGAS. N. NJ, Feb. 9.-Jim West,
John Dorsey and Lord Henry, who were
implicated in the shooting Of Carson at a
dance two weeks ago, were dragged from
their cells at 3 o'clock yesterday morning
bv a mob of seventy-fve armed men who
knocked down the outer door and forced
the jailer to give up the keys. ,
Ropes were drawn around their necks
with hangman's moose. The men were
then carried to the windmill pump, in the
center of the business portion of old Las
Vegas, and the ropes thrown over the
beams of the windmill. West was hauled
up while the mob, becoming tro impa-
tient, commenced firing at Dorsey and
Henry, who were soon riddled with balls
There was no time for mercy or prayers
West, while being hauled up, cried out
my God; my motherl" Henry replied
'Shut up, Jim. Die like man"
No resistance was offered the mob, which
quietly dispersed. The bodies were lef
until, after Ia m., and the rising sur
showed nearly naked man hanging twenty
feet in the air and two men lying beneath
HIM in masses of clotted blood. 1t was ,
horrible. sickening sight as the victims lay
there with their shackles still upon them
The officers cut down the body and lait
it with the others in the Courthouse fol
the Coroner. No friend claimed any O
them. The town is now as quiet almost a.
liz nothing had happened, and there is lit
tie fear of more trouble. 4' ''.1
