Finally Settled.

An interesting case has just been de-
cided in the supreme court of Wyo-
ming, that has occupied the attention
of the courts since 1879. At that time
Dwight j. McCann, well known
throughout the territory and in the
freighting districts adjacent thereto,
was acting as agent of the United
States and had charge Of the shipment
of supplies to various posts. Among
his transactions at the time was a lot
of freight shipped over the Union Pa
ciic railroad, involving the amount OF
1894. OF. The sun not being paid upon
the arrival of the goods at their desti-
nation, the railroad held the same sub
ject to charges. Through legal process
in Carbon county, Mr.. Mccain OBJ
tanned possession of the freight, by re-
plevin, and it vas delivered as intend
ed. The railroad company appealed
the case and carried it finally to
the supreme court, where it has been
decided in their favor, and a mandate
issued to collect from the United
States, OIL Dwight j. Mccain, as agent,
1904. OF.
Clerk ]. W. Bruner yesterday filed
the decision of the supreme court of the
United States, and issued the necessary
mandate to the lower courts.

CHEYENNE, January Z.
To the editor OF the LEADER.
Will you please answer, If you can,
these questions in regard to political
affairs in the second ward. 1 am a re-
publican, Of course, but as 1 under,
stand your paper is non-partisan, and
as the information 1 herein ask for is
undoubtedly in your power to give, I
have thought proper to ask the follow
ing questions:
l. How many republicans attended
the meeting which nominated Mr..
RinerP
2. How many people we're in attend
ance, all toldp
8. Was not Mr.. Mann chairman of
the meeting that nominated Mr.. Riner
and also of the citizens meeting that
nominated Mr.. Fisk?
4. How many voted at the citizens
meeting?
8. Was not Mr.. Riner a candidate at
that meetingp and, If so, was it with
his knowledge and consenta
6. If he was a candidate at that
meeting with his knowledge and con-
sent, why did he become a candidate at
the republican meetingp
T.. Were not those who supported Mr..
Riner In the republican caucus sub
stantially the same parties who sup
ported him in the citizens meeting2
A. 8. EVERY.
THE LEADER is democratic in poll
tics, but in the interests OF the city it
does not wish to draw party lines in
local elections. The questions WI do
not wish to answer. The several IAN
didates are before the voters, and choose
whom you will have serve you this day.
Let us have peace and a fair election.

finest cigars in the territory. He is in
direct communication with foreign
producers. His wines, brandies and
other liquors may seem a little high at
first, but when we consider they are
warranted pure and of foreign manu-
facture, they are low in price for the
far west. Strom keeps a great variety
of liquors and, personally, he dislikes
any article not genuine. For a good
thing in the liquor line, go to Strom.
Vote for C.. W. Riner for councilman
for Second ward.
NJ. E. Post has introduced a bill in
the house authorizing and directing to
be placed IN the pension roll, subject
to the provisions and limitations Of the
pension laws, the names of Frederick
Nelson, T. Game and Henry @. San
ders, of this territory, late employees of
the quartermaster's department of the
United States army, who were severely
wounded and disabled for life, while
connected with Major Thordburgh's
expedition, in the engagement with the
Ute Indians, September, 1879.
Croker, of Unita county, who was
elected as a member of the territorial
council, and who was at the time of
the election and is now the United
States register of the land office at
Evanston, is of course ineligible, and
therefore a vacancy exists in the dele
CATION from that county. Some of the
members from Unlta suggest the idea
that Crocker's opponent at the election
to fill the vacancy. 1t is rather doubt
full whether that plan would work. A
special election to fill the vacancy is
about the only way out of the woods.
Vote for Henry Harrington for coun-
Gilman for the Third ward.

A Card.

Some friends of mine, with good in
tentions, but without my knowledge or
consent, looked around a little
yesterday among the various candi-
dates for city councilmen with the in
tention of trying to bring me out as a
candidate for city attorney, which has
perhaps created embarrassment among
some who aspire to the council, and
place me in an awkward light. L.want
to say that 1 am not seeking auYbody's
position, and am not a candidate for
any office in Gods world
or any other world. There is a
passage of scripture somewhere within
the lids of the bible which says, Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbours wife nor
his ass, nor his OK, etc." and if an
amendment was tackled on 80 as to read
"nor anybody's office" it would hit my
case exactly. Don't vote against any,
body to get "a whack" at me, for l am
not in the ring; l am a sort of swamp
angel in the sage brush.

The funeral of Professor O~llerenshaw
occurred at 8 o'clock Yesterday after
noon, and was quite generally attend
ed, considering the excitement and
bustle attending the prospective cleo
ton and meeting of the legislature.
The 9th infantry band from Fort
Russell wa in attendance in full uni
form, and furnished most excellent, but
m%ournful, music for the sad occa-
sion.
The funeral procession, after prelim-
mary services at the late residence of
the deceased, formed on upper Seven
tcenth street, and, preceded by the
band, passed down Seventeenth street
to Ferguson, thence north to the Epis-
copal church, where the services were
held.
From the residence to Ferguson
street, the band played that pathetic
funeral dirge, dead March in Sand"
and when passing up that street 10 the
church, Departed Comrades"
At the church the usual solemn and
impressive E~piscopalian services were
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Rafter.

A SAD STORY.
Greed for Money Results in Failure and
Imprisonment

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. II.
Robert McPhun, alias Bryce. was arrested
here yesterday on a requisition from Calcutta,
charged with forging the name of William
Cruiksbank, director of Halton and Larone
Tea companies Calcutta, for fl5, 200.

companies, and thinking to make a fortune
for himself used the money of the companies
and lost it and finally forged notes on several
directors, and escaped to this city where he
was arrested by detectives at the instance, by
officer George Webb Of Calcutta, who dis
covered his whereabouts.
McPhun desires to be taken to Calcutta
Immediately. He admits that he committed
forgeries to the amount of 100000 on the
Calcutta tea company. of which he was then
director.
