friends and physicians. If the exercise of
the will on the part of the patient has any
effect at all, Mr.. Price would have better
chance for his life tnan most sufferers, be,
cause of his remar kable force of character.
He is the Congressman who, when the bill
putting the widow Of General Grant upon
the pension list was proposed, cast the only
negative vote in spite of the appeals of his
associates to make the gift unanimous. He
then declared that so long as there were
claims OF private soldiers and their families
still unadiusted Congress had no right TO
make special recognition of the case of an
officers widow, who ALREADY had enough To

against 1t if he were the only citizen in the
United States who looked a: the matter
from his point of view.

The Old Electric Light Building aud
Contents Destroyed by Fire.

Shortly before s O'Clock yesterday
morning the alarm of fire was sounded
through the city, caused by the taking
fire of the old electric light house in the
northwestern portion of the city. For
some reason the alarm seems not to have
been heard very distinctly but a short dis
lance from the City hall, and for that
reason the fire department was not around
as soon as usual in such cases. The COM
panies were promptly on hand, however,
as soon as the alarm was heard by them,
but the fire had made such Roadway that
it was impossible to ~extinguish the flames
until the building had been almost to-
tally destroyed. Quite a stiff breeze was
blowing at the time, and for awhile it
looked as though other buildings near by
would take fire, but fortunately this ca
lamity was averted. Inside the build
ing was a forly horse power engine and
other apparatus belonging to the Brush
Swan Electric Light company, and this
property was so seriously damaged that it
will be of little value to anyone. The
building and contents had been insured
for 5000 in a reliable company, but late.
ly the major portion of the insurance had
been transferred to the new electric lighi
house, leaving enough still standing tC
the credit of the old building TO cover the
losses. The engine mentioned was val
ued at $500, and it is probable that the
entire loss will be at least 81, 800.
The building was not entirely unoccu
pied as had been supposed, but it i
thought some tramps or other individuals
had effected an entrance into the house
and by accident or otherwise started tn,

The board ofcounty commissioner con-

noon, with Commissioners Hoyt and
Kelly present. The petition asking for
the laying out of a county road from Egg
bert to the Colorado line, was taken up
| for consideration, and Messrs. William
Dolan, A. Martin and T. w. ChaffeC

asking for the laying out of a county road
from a stated point on the old stage road
to Fort Laramie to n point near Iron
mountain, which was signed by S. L..
Meyer and others, was also before the
| board for consideration, but as no n APP
peared either for or against the petition,
the matter was postponed until the next
regular meeting of the board, which will
be carly in February. Other matters oil
interest were talked over but no oficia
action was taken in regard to them. The
board adjourned until the next regular
meeting.

AN INJUNCTION.
Proceedings to stop Payment Of the
warrant IN Favor Of Patterson.

Billy" Patterson is here at last. 1t i,
not the original Billy Patterson, however,
but Tom Patterson, with a bill for lega.
services rendered in the late suit Of the
Territory Of Wyoming on the relation Of
II. Il. Glover VS.. Isaac Bergman. In
other words for services rendered in the
city treasurership. This bill, which strict
ly speaking, was made out in favor OF
Patterson K Thomas 1.-THE latter Mr.. Pat
%terson's law partner) and for the sun of
$402, and having been presented to the
city council, was allowed at the meeting
night before last. Yesterday proceedings
were instituted by Attorneys Van Devan-
ter and Potter on behalf of Geo. w. Hoyt
and II, Altman, both of whom are tax
payers of the city, and whose names APP
pear in the proceedings as the complain
ants for the purpose of restraining City
Clerk Richards from delivering the war
rant to Mr.. Patterson and also Treasurer
Bergman from paying the same. Bonds
TO the amount of 81 900 were given by
the compliments, as provided for in such
cases, and a temporary restraining order
was Issued by Chief Justice Lacey yester-
day afternoon. The order which is made
returnable at 10 n. IN. to morrow before
Judge Lacey, was served by Deputy
Sheriff McGonigle on both Richards and
Bergman early last evening. The point
raised on the part of the compliments is
that the city of Cheyenne was not a party
to the Glover Bergman suit, and there
fore cannot be made to pay attorney fees
in any case in which it is not directly in

In the council during the afternoon
and while that body was taking a recess
the question was discussed in an informa
way as to how the present legislature il
to get at the work OF going over and con
sidering the recent work of the revision
commissioners preparatory to its adoption
and legalization by an act Of the legis-
lature. Messrs. Wright, Daley, Grant,
and Others thought that the only feasible
plan was for the matter to be referred to
a joint committee of the two houses,
which should have the authority to en-
ploy outside assistance, as it would take
the greater part of the time of the present
session for the legislature itself to under
take the work.
In the house Of representatives, when
the joint resolution appropriating $1,000
for the relief of the Almy sufferers came
up for consideration, quite a lively de-
bate arose.
Col. Downey said hat in his judgment
it was the right and proper thing to do.
That he for one was in favor of extending
aid and assistance to the poor and I'M
fortunate whenever it could be rightfully
and constitutionally done.
Mr.. OBrien spoke in opposition to the
idea of voting the money, as he was of
the belief that the present legislature, or
any legislature for that matter, should be
very careful how it disposed or voted
away the money of the territory. If the
Almy sufferers needed assistance, the
county commissioners of Uinta county
would assist them. At all events, if the
disaster had occurred in Cheyenne the
Laramie county commissioners would
have met in twenty minutes for the pur-
pose of rendering them assistance.
Mr.. knight thought that Col. Downey
had ably and eloquently set forth the sit
%uation, and he was of the same mind and
was in favor of the appropriation.
Speaker Kerr expressed his views in
the matter. He didn't want to set a pre-
cedent whereby it might be inferred that
the government is a sort of a father to
everybody, and is bound to 60 down into
its pockets to relieve the wants of every
body. He sympathized with the suffer
ers, and would do as much individually
rs any one to relieve their wants, but he
didn't believe the legislature had the
right to make this Appropriation, and he
should vote against it.
Mr.. Kelley was also opposed to voting
the appropriation. lie was willing to as
sist the suffering, but thought it was not
right to begin voting away the funds of
the territory in the manner contemplated
by the resolution. At the close of the de-
bate, the 81. 900 clause was stricken out
and the resolution OF coincidence PASSED
by a vote of twenty-three to one.
This matter will come up for considera-
ton IN the council to-day.

The news that has been received of the
signing of the Legislative legalization bill
has had an inspiring effect on a great
majority of the members of the legislature.
They recognize the fact that this is a most
important time in the history OF the terri

they see, how and by what means they
can do something in behalf of their con.
%stituents. This Legislature in the main
appears to be composed of men who be.
