In the debate which occurred in the
house Of representatives yesterday after
noon over the employee indemnity bill,
providing for the payment to employees of
a certain sun for accidents, etc, n very
amusing episode occurred which is worth
relating.
The house being in committee of the
whole, Col. Downey made a speech in
support of the bill in reply to n. j..
O'Brien, who opposed it. In the course
of his remarks Col. Downey proceeded to
argue that the coal miners should be pro-
tected, and growing quite eloquent he
quoted from Bob Burns a few lines of one
of his poems. Alter he sat down Nick
O'Brien arose again, and after making
an observation or two about the wild
eyed poet of the Rockies, went on TO ex-
plain that the colonel had quoted some
very fine poetry and hat Bobbie Burns,
the poet, and been quoted and heard
from and now the Poet O'Brien would
also be heard from, whereupon Nick
perpetrated the following: Down in a
coal mine underneath the ground, there's
where on lection day many a vote is
found The entire house and the lobby
also was in an uproar in an instant, and
it was some minutes before order could be
restored.

The CITY Finally Gets the Talbot Nolan
Land CHIN.

The land contest in which the city Of
Cheyenne has been engaged for a long
time in order to maintain its right and
title to the east half of the southeast
quarter and lots 4 and 5 of section "a,
township IA, range 81, was decided in
favor Of the city yesterday by Register
Wilson and Receiver Garrard. Of the local
land Office. This land has been the sub
iect of controversy for some time, and was
formerly claimed by Mai. Talbot A con-
test with him, however, resulted in the
cancellation of his filings, whereupon the
city Immediately filed upon it. but on the
same day Francis Nolan, n discharged
soldier, by virtue Of a prior settlement,
offered his filing Oh the same land. but
was refused. Nolan appealed and the de-
partment sustained the appeal, directing
that his filing be received but his rights
TO be determined thereafter, when he at
tempted to prove up, and by a regular
contest. In due time the city instituted
this contest, City Attorney Riner and
County Attorney Mann representing the
city and +. J.. Stanton the soldier, Nolan.
The contest and proceedings, as before
stated, were finally decided yesterday and
in favor Of the city. This is a very i'm

From what was said AID done at the
meeting of the city council on Tuesday
evening, it is apparent that it is the in-
tention of the city authorities to build
two or three new hose houses very soon,
in fact it was in effect 81 stated at the
meeting. The people on the south side
of the railroad track have long wanted
some c%onyeniences in the way Of a place
for a hose cart and other fire apparatus,
and it is now the intention of the city to
build one. Not only this, but in the ap-
preparation made on Tuesday night for
public buildings, it was contemplated,
and the mount was fixed accordingly,
that the city erect during the present
year three new hose houses not to exceed
in cost the sum of 81 900; one to be built
south Of the railroad, one in the eastern
portion of the city and one not far from
the site of the old electric light house.

OF the minstrel company which appear
at the opera house Saturday evening the
Chicago Times a y
McNish, johnson Il Slayin's minstrels
opened an engagement at the Chicago
opera house on Sunday evening to a good
audience, and drawing a somewhat larger
attendance last night. The company ap-
peared at another house early in the
present season and left behind the i'm
preston of being one of the best minstrel
companies seen here in several seasons,
an impression which the present engage
ment seems likely to deepen The
strongest features, perhaps, of the bill are
found in the first part, including some
good singing, some of the members being
greeted with enthusiastic recalls. and
most of the Jokes having about them some
favor of freshness. The company is un-
q~uestionably a strong one, offering an
entertainment which can not fail to
please all who enjoy minstrelsy Of the
better class.
