THE DODGE DEEDS.
What They Are, and why They Were
Given. III. -

The Dodge deeds have arrived, and al.
though The LEADER has not the space to
devote 10 a publication Of the names. de-
scriptions, etc, a word in regard TO them
may not be out of place, for, except to
those who are personally interested, it is
not generally known what they are or why
they are given. A few words will explain,
Years ago a large number Of town lots
were sold to various parties under what
was called THE contract system" By
the terms of these contracts certain pay
ments were to be made at stipulated times
and when the price had been fully paid,
then the purchaser was to receive a war
ranty deed. These lots were most Of
them sold when "lots were way up" and
for almost fabulous prices, and subse-
quently they were worth less in many in
stances than the AMOUNT paid on the first
payment, The company which, al. things
considered, had made the sale of these
lots to good advantage, sought to do what
was fair and just by the purchasers, and
in a large number of cases quit claimed to
the purchasers after the second payment,
and in some instances after the first pay
ment had been made. This, however,
was not satisfactory to the purchasers,
who wanted genuine warranty deeds, and
at last Governor Warren Chen plain F..
E. entered into correspondence with the
Union Pacific authorities with the view of
getting these deeds. The officers of the
company we're willing to give the deeds,
but the Union Pacific trustees refused to
give them until they were convinced that
enough money had been paid for these
lots to make a fair equivalent for their
value. Finally lsome two years ago) three
appraisers, consisting of +. Nagle, j. X.
Jeffrey and B. Hellman, were appointed,
who made an appraisement of all this
class of lots in order to show the trustees
what their value was, in order that they
might see that what had already been
paid was a fair compensation for them.
This, as the sequel shows, was ~satisfac
tory to the trustees, for at last after a long
delay these deeds have been made out
and sent on here, the trustees thereby
complying with what the officers of the
Union Pacific have been requesting.

HELD TO Bail.
The Preliminary Examination In the
Lawrence Larceny Case.


The preliminary examination in the
case of the territory OF Wyoming VS.. Ed
ward Lawrence, charged with the larceny
ofsix head of cattle and two horses belong
ing to Hugh j. Edwards, took place before
Judge Lee yesterday afternoon, County
Attorney Mann and j. j. Rowan appear
ing for the prosecution and Messrs j. w.
Fisher and 7. NJ. Fisher for the dcfen-
dant. The evidence disclosed a very bad
state OF affairs, and the fact was pretty
well demonstrated that the whole matter
grows out of a family quarrel.
The facts as gathered from all the tes-
tipony yesterday and hereby stated, are
as follows US
Some years ago Hugh J. Edwards had
some very important business to attend
to at Lincoln, Neb., and which called
him away for fifteen months. During his
absence his wife. by virtue of authority
which she had, or thought she had, sold
a calf which undoubtedly was the prop
| erty of Edwards. She sold the calf to
John Lawrence (one of her own sons by a
former marriagel, who afterwards sold or
gave it back to her and gave her a bill of
sale also for the animal. Time passed on
and Mr.. Edwards having concluded his
business at Lincoln, came home, and in
time that calf, which had grown into a
| COW, numbered six instead Of one. In
other words, the calf had not only become
a mother but a grandmother as well.
Lately there has been a great deal OF
wapper.jawed, sagebrush rantsnkerosity
IN the Edwards family, and Mrs. Ed
| wards, it seems, began to get tired OF it.
Several days ago Edward Lawrence, the
defendant. another son of MB. Edwards,
who resides near Buffalo, in johnson
county, came down to Cheyenne, and his
| mother informing him Of the situation,
| he, after taking the advice Of an attorney,
bought the stock as being the property Of
his mother and paid her $3.50, and was to
pay the balance In ninety days. Young
Edwards, who, according to his own state
ment, expected that there woul be some
trouble over the stock, started back
to Buffalo with the stock (fOr which he had
taken a bill of sale.) He gave out word.
it is claimed, that he was going via Fort
Fetterman, but as a matter of fact drove
the cattle TO Laramie City, where he OF
fered to sell them, but where he was ar
rested by Sheriff Jameson and eventually
brought back to Cheyenne by Constable
Smalley. the stock being left in the mean
time at Laramie.
The foregoing are substantially the facts
in the case, and upon these the court
held the defendant to bail in the sun of
$500. which will probably be given by the
defendant, although quite late last even
ing the bond had not been furnished.
