The west bound passenger train was a
half hour late last evening. occasioned by
the breaking of the trucks on one of the
passenger coaches. The accident was re-
paired at Sidney and occasioned but a
slight delay.
The train from the east was four hours
late Sunday evening. This was -occasioned
by the wreck Of freight train about four
miles east of North Platte. No particu-
lar damage was done to the freight train,
and no one was hurt by the accident. Be
fore the accident could be repaired and
the cars placed on the track, the passen-
ger arrived and as a consequence was de-
layed some hours.

Biaz, her SIX children and servants, passed

is still quite handsome, being dark to the
extent of most Spanish people. She ex-
pressed herself as being quite astonishel
at the metropolitan aspect of Cheyenne.

AS soon as the vote was announced the
chair declared Walter c. Brown and John
G. Baird duly elected as school directors
for the ensuing three years, to ell the posi-
tons o occupied by Geo. L. Holt and
John Slaughter. The announcement was
received with cheers by those present.
Col. Snow then offered the resolutions,
which after being read were ANONYMOUSLY
passed by the meeting.
Resolued, That all powers contained in
section II, Of an act for the organization of
school districts, schools, and for other
purposes, except such as have been excr-
cised by the electors Of the district at this
meeting, be dedicated to the board of
school trustees.
Resolred, That the thanks of this dis
trict are due, and are hereby rendered to
Messrs. Slaughter aud Holt for the inter
est they have taken in, and the time and
attention they have devoted to the inter
ests of the district and the able manner
in which they have assisted to manage
affairs for the past three years.
Hon. Luke Voorhees, then moved that
the meeting adjourn until the day pro-
vided by law, the first Monday in May,
and that the polls be opened on that day
from | O'Clock in the afternoon until 7
o'clock in the evening. Several amend
ments were proposed, but they were after
wards withdrawn, and the motion passed
unanimously.
The contest over the trustees was
very spirited, and the result very close, as
indicated by the figures given above.
Messrs. Baird and Brown received the
congratulations of a large number of
friends, as soon as the result was known.
Some complaint was made in regard to
the length of time the polls were kept
open, some claiming hat a number we're
prevented from voting. Whether or not
the complaint is just is a matter unknown
to the writer. The election gives general
satisfaction, and there is no question as to
the efficiency of the gentlemen elected,
and they will make a valuable acquisition
to the school board.

THE CHAMBERS,



Frederick Hagerman arrived in the city
yesterday with two horses and mule
that were suffering with some disease,
which to him was unknown. He called
upon Mr.. Hopkins, the territorial veter-
mary, who at once proceeded to make an
examination. After a thorough examina-
ton of the horses and mule, it was plainly
eyidentt to the doctor that they had that well
known disease, glanders. The animals
were at once destroyed, upon the order of
the veterinary. They were appraised at
800.
The cattle now being held in quaran-
tine near this city are looking remarkably
well. They are well fed and cared for
and are comfortable in every particular.
r. S. Van Tassell shipped from his
ranch recently 300 fine beef cattle for the
eastern market. They were a choice lot,
and occupied twelve cars.

CLOSELY CONTESTED.
Walter C. Brown and ]. C. Baird
Elected School Trustees.
The Meeting Largely Attended and
Great Interest Shown.

That the citizens of Cheyenne take the
greatest interest in the public schools Of
this district, is plainly evident from the
large number of people that attended the
school election yesterday afternoon, in the
central school building.
There were but two tickets in the field,
one headed by George L. Holt and J. NJ.
Tompkins, and the other by Walter C..
Brown and j. @. Baird. On the street
corners in the early afternoon could be
seen crowds of citizens, discussing the
qualifications of the different candidates,
and doing all the el~ectioneering within their
power. The ladies were also out in force,
and took a deep interest in the proceed
ings. They did considerable work for
their respective candidates among them
selves, and also succeeded in buttonholing
the male voters, and obtaining consider
able following from this portion Of the
voting population.
Fully one-third more votes were cast at
this election than in the year previous.
Although the discussions and debates were
very spirited and warm over the several
items of appropriation, everyone consid-
cred that the Others were working for the
best interests Of the public schools, al
though, perhaps, by another method.
Soon after 3 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by Clerk Oliver, in the alb
sence of Judge Slaughter, and Luke
Voorhees, nominated John H. Durbin for
chairman. There were a dozen seconds,
and Mr.. Durbin was unanimously chosen
by reclamation.
The call for the election was then read
by Clerk Oliver, after which the minutes
Of the meeting held one year ago were
read and there being no objection, the
minutes were approved.
The following are the estimates as
made nv Tho hoard.

District Court will adjourn to
day, and we presume the lawyers,
officers and especially the
farmers who have been in atten-
dance as litjgants or witnesses will
experience a sense Of relief. 1t
has been III session for nearly three
weeks and there are yet some three
dozen cases OF the docket. The
trial and disposition of suits is
much retarded by the necessity Of
taking down the evitle nee in q ma
j0rity of cases. Every case inyOly-
ing more than 800, is appealable
aud of course the evidence must
Ike reduced to writing. Under the
present constitution the same
space of time is consumed and the
same amount of cost. incurred in q
hundred dollar suit as in q suit
involving thousands of dollars.
