ON THE MAIN QUESTION.
Owing to the limited mail facilities of
Wyoming, many settlers in the isolated
districts in the northern counties are to-
tally in the dark as to the condition of
the county division question, but resi-
dents of the county seats and immediate
vicinity are fully alive to the situation and
are taking a lively interest in the matter.

selected at a mass meeting recently held
at Sheridan, johnson county, d prospec-
tive county seat, earnestly urges the pas
sage OF Mr.. G~uernsey's enabling act and
contend that residents of Buffalo oppos-
ing the measure are ~preiudiced and
biased
