Wing Yang who keeps a 'washee'
house on Fifteenth street went on the
warpath yesterday and resorted to the
courts before he got through. For some
time Wing has been doing an indefinite
amount of washing for one Ida Scott a
lady of color who has been residing in one
Of the stately mansions in the north
western portion of the city and although
she has usually paid Wing quite PROMPT
ly, yet of late the fair Ida has failed TO
pay up and yesterday she sought TO de-
part for other and distant climes without
settling up a balance of ST.. so, which was
still owing by her TO the Chinaman.
Wing a~scertained in some way that the
colored damsel was about to depart and
rushed frantically to Judge Lees office
where he procured a writ OF attachment
which was placed in the hands OF Constable
Smalley for service. The officer proceeded
to the train and levied upon the trunk
v~alise, etc, of the would be delinquent
and took them to the city hall where they
are now stored for safe keeping. This is
one of the very few instances that have
happened in the territory or indeed in
this country where a Chinaman has
brought a civil suit to inforce his rights.

The passenger train from the west was
two hours late when it reached Cheyenne
yesterday forenoon, due to an accident
that occurred between Green River and
Rock Springs night before last The
smashup, which was nothing but the
breaking of some of the locomotive mach
inery, did not result in the injury of any
one, but it delayed the train for the
period of three hours while the break was
being repaired. Between the point where
the accident happened the train gained an
hour in time 50 that it was only two hour.

There have been some very indefinite
ideas in the minds of many Of our people
as to who will be entitled to vote at the
approaching special election, on. the ques-
ton of a railroad subsidy. Some have
supposed that a full tax must have been
paid, Others that the person offering to
vote must have paid a tax on a specified
amount of property, while still others have
supposed hat all who were of lawful age
would have the right to cast their ballots.
None of these views are correct, however,
as there is simply one restriction
placed on the right to vote at that election
one provision, and that is that the per-
son offering to vote must nave been a
legal voter within the county at the last
general election, which was held No
vember 8, 1884, 1t is not necessary that
the prospective voter should have voted at
that election, providing he or she would
have been so entitled, had they had chan
ces to do SO. Under the general election
law "a written or a printed, or a partly
written and partly printed ballot may be
cast, but under the law by which the bonds
are to be voted for, the ballot must be
either wholly printed or written, and a
partly written and partly printed ballot
can not be counted. This is ono of the
oversights of the new law.

A large part Of the time Of the morning
session of the house was occupied in re-
ception of the reports of committees and
discussion of the first bill passed.
As usual, a mass of legislation is being
precipitated upon the assembly in the
last days of the session, and the rule in
both houses intended as a check on such
such introductions, is of no avail. As a
consequence, the appropriation bill has
been held back and but tomorrow re-
mains in which to introduce it.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The house went into committee OF the
whole on the bill to authorize the equali-
zation of assessment of railroad and tele-
graph properties. A most decided oppo-
sition to the bill was manifested, the OPP
ponents to the measure claiming that by
the present method Of assessment equali-
zation by the board composed OF the gov
ernor, auditor and treasurer the territory
was receiving better returns than if the
equalization should be made by the con
templated board, composed of the chair
men of the boards of county commission
ers. The motion to recommend the pas
sage of the bill was lost, II to II. The
motion to indefinitely postpone was also
lost by the same vote. Motion after mo
ton followed, and all were lost, The
house thus finding itself in a deadlock,
finally adjourned until 10 a. M.

her absence, ostensibly at home, but

been elected president of a new whist
