Found What They Wanted.

Fort Collins Courier.
The company Of land hunters who left
here early in June, consisting of Postmas-
ter Kramer, Thomas Earnest, Will Keays,
Peter Sweeney and others, representing a
syndicate of about forty Denver and Fort
Collins capitalists, have met with better
success than they really had reason to ex-
pect. They proceeded direct to Buffalo,
Wyoming, and after some time spent in
looking over the country, were fortunate
in securing 4 tract of land on Crazy Wo
man creek embracing forty sections of
splendid grazing and farming lands, which
they Immediately filed on under thedesert
act Will Keays writes that it is a grand
layout, and that an irrigating ditch seven
miles long with sufficient capacity to irri-
gate the whole tract has been surveyed
and will be constructed right away.

WYOMING EXCEPTED.
The English Remove all Restrlc-
tons From Territorial Cattle
And Will Permit Them TO Enter
Free as Desired.

Hon. Thomas Sturgis, Secretary of the
Stoc&growers' Association, Yesterday re-
ceived a cablegram from Mr.. Moreton
Frcwen, who is at present in London,
England, announcing that the British
government will remove the restrictions
on the shipment Of American cattle to
their shores go far as Wyoming is con-
cerned. This is a very important piece of
information, and the effect it will have on
the cattle interests of Wyoming are so
obvious and apparent that it is unneces-
sary to discuss it here. This step which
the English government is about to take
regarding Wyoming cattle is mainly due
to Hon Thomas Sturgis, who in behalf of
the Stock Association prepared and for
warded to London by Mr.. Moreton Frew-
en- a paper stating very deliberately all the
phases of the cattle question and interests
here in Wyoming, with special reference
to the excellent laws in force for the pro-
lection Of stock from the inroads Of dis
ease, and many other points of informa-
ton, supported by well timed and logical
arguments in opposition to the restrictive
policy of the English government. This
paper it seems has had its effect, and n
great point has been gained in favor of
Wyoming.

considerable distance and are now engaged
in altering and changing the preliminary
survey so as TO make of it a final survey
of the route on which they o intend to
begin the construction of the road. 1t is
now said so be the intention of the Bur-

as rapidly as possible and not to wait for
any other COMPANY or prospective ON
pany to join hands with them. They arc
satisfied that a line from the western ter
minus Of their main line to Cheyenne will
pay, and having satisfied themselves upon
this point they do not propose to wait any
longer.

Tic trial of Burt Bradshaw for his
murderous assault on Lon Lewis with a
knife on Friday last took place before
Judge usher yesterday. Several wit
ntssos were subpGned on the part of the
prosecution, together with such others MS

story. The court held Bradshaw to bail
in the sum Of $500. The defendant
could not give the required bail, and was
therefore committed to the county Jail

Harriet Read yesterday filed an action Of

some real estate of which she was dispossessed
on Sept. II, 1883. There are some very peculiar
features connected with the transaction, and
the case, when II comes to trial, Is likely to
stir up scandal.
The property in question-is located on c, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets southeast. 1t
was owned by Harriet S. Herbert, who at her
death Haucathed II to her adopted daughter,
Harriet Caroline Herbert, provided she led a
respectable life and did not live with her

of the bequest, forfeit all its advantages and

A PATENT OFFICE DECISION.


NtHs Ns ts AiNttuthHs VI
On Wednesday, the 9th ultlmo, hearings
were had before the commissioner Of patents
in person and the examiner of interfercnccs,
which have resulted in settling the title to this
valuable trade mark
The parties to the controversy were Gen.
G. p. Mattocks, of Portland, Me-, president of
the Winslow Packing company, and John
Wlnslow Jones, of the same place, the lotter
being the nephew of Isaac WinslOw, the orig
inal inventor of the process of packing green
corn rs now practiCcd by the Winslow Packing
company, and also the assignee of John Wins
low Jones, appointed by the court OF insol.
vcncy Of Cumberland county, Maine, upon the
petition of JOnes's creditors.
The history of the matter before the patent
ONCE, as appears by the evidence presenteu ~
Messrs. Joyce ~ Spear, OF this city, on Dehnli
of Gen. Mnttocks, Is briefly this
After having done large business for some
years in packing corn, &C., on his own nc
count, in 1850, John Winslow Jones went to
England and formed company called ).
Minslow Jones Il Co., limited To which com
pany he sold all his factories, business, tools,
trade marks &C., taking In payment therefor
the stock and bonds OF that company. Ot this
company Jones was appointed the business
manager and went on for II short time, but the
company soon failed. In lSs! nt special
meeting ofthe company, 1t was voted TO vino
up the business of the company ana sell lts
assets, aud Alfred Good and John smith were
appointed liquidators to carry out tho Notc Oh
chanccry division, which was also made 70
the same effect. At this point Gen. Mattocks
acquired title to all the factories, business,
good will, trade marks, &C., the conveyance
bearing date July II, 1882.
MeSsrs Joyce d Spear also produced the
original conveyance Of sixteen different trade
marks Including the "Globc'D from John
WinSlow Jones to j. Winslow Jones " Co.,
limited, dated juno Is, 1850.
The patent Office finds the nbo'-' convey
ances TO be valid aud binding, and nc title to
the "Globe" trade mark for canned goods 10
be In Gen MattuCks.
Mr. Joncss personal interest was repere-
scented by Dr. Daniel Breed, OF this city, but rs
no testimony was taken by him the points OF
his contention do not appear
The interest of the assignee in insolvency
was represented by w. II. Doolittle, esq, cx-
assistant commissioner of patents.
1t is understood that oil parties using labels
in limitations or infringement of the trade
marks covered by this decision will be i'm
mediately prosecuted.

contracts with the Washington quarry com

engineer commissioners have been authorized
to purchase In open market 100000 blocks, con

price as that named in the contract. The cause
of the cancellation ofthis contract is its failure
