1T WILL BE POSTPONED.
Injunction to Prevent the Organiza-
ton of Counties.
Legality of the Famous County
Bill Questioned.
Prospects Of Lively Times in Set
fling the Question.

The organization of Converse and Sheri-
idan counties is to be retarded as much as
possible by those who have opposed the
step throughout the discussion of the
proposition. The half-jest, half-earnest
prediction Of THE LEADER about injunc-
tons has been fulfilled to the letter.
Friday evening Messrs. Baird and
Peck obtained from Judge Maginnis, who
is now acting in the second judicial dis
trict as well as his own a temporary re-
straining order which will prevent the
commissioner appointed by the governor
performing their duties in this connec-
ton. A. j. McCray, chairman of the
johnson county commissioners, is the
complaining witness. Last evening a
similar step was taken in relation to the
proposed county of Converse. Messrs.
Potter & Van Devaater and Col. Allan
Miller will represent the divisionlsts.
The Converse county injunction, in less
prolix language than that used in the
document, forbids j. K. Calkins, j. NJ.
Wilson and +. j. Wells proceeding
with the task of supervising the
selection of officers for the new
subdivision of the territory. The writ is
sued out by Isaac Greentree, of this city,
in the capacity of a tax payer.
The causes cited in the petition are
those urged by the opponents of organize
ton since the passage Of the enabling bill.
They claim that the law was illegally en-
acted several hours after the session of the
Tenth legislative assembly, and conse-
quently is not a statute. Another barrier
set up is the fact that the veto of the
county bill was not acted upon by the as.
sembly.
A motion to dissolve the Converse
county injunction will be argued before
Judge Maginnis early this week. The
matter cannot be delayed, as the law adj
monishes the commissioners to proceed
with organization within twenty days after
their appointment.
The attorneys on either side of the issue
appear certain OF victory. As is well
known, the famous bill was made a law
the forenoon of March 10, of the current
year, whereas it is claimed that the SEES
sion expired nearly twenty four hours be-
fore. On the other hand. it is held that
the law making season did not terminate
until noo of the 10th inst, and that the
passage of the act might have been de-
layed at least three hours had the body
deemed it necessary.
The game is made, and there are de-k
red spots on the NOON. The reporter who
ioyously anticipated being detailed as
county seat war correspondent is disap-
pointed, and it is even limited that those
reimbursed by the divers purposes bill
may be called upon to refund the shekels.
incidentally something may be learned
of the stolen bill in the course of the in
~vestigation.

A SURPLUS OF WATER.
Judge Maginnis Makes a Ruling in
the Ditch Cases.
Cheyenne TO Have Water to the
Exclusion of Irrigat0rs.
A Statement of the Rights of All
Ditch Owners.

By the rendition of an opinion given
below Judge Maginnis has done some
thing for Cheyenne for which her resi-
dents will be ever grateful. While there
is a bare possibility that the case may be
carried to the supreme court the justice of
the ruling is unquestioned.
By the operations of this decree the in
habitants of the magic city are assured of
a plentiful water supply for an indlfnite
period. Enough of the fluid is now at
the service of the system to supply 1Oc,
600 souls, allowing one soul to each man,
woman aud child.
Manufacturers contemplating the plac-
ing of plants of any sort in this city need
have no doubt or fears on the water ques.
ton. The problem is solved. During
the coming summer more attention is to
be paid to the condition of the reservoirs.
They will be kept scrupulously clean and
it is expected that the fluid will be whole
some and healthy during the entire sea-
son. No better drinking water than
the Crow creek current can be found in
winter and the exercise of a little care
will make it the same during the warm
season.
At the same time the city officials will
prevent the waste of water. This is to be
discouraged and the ditch owners have
rights which should be respected.
vT.al n "
which will soon be an immense reservoir
with bed rock bottom enough water can
be stored, in case of necessity, in twenty
four hours, to last the city for months.
THE OPINION.
Appended is that portion of the decree
relative to the city:
"The court finds hat the city of Chey.
n n as against each. every and all appro-
priators of water from the main Crow
creek and its tributaries, as against all
other persons, is entitled for the use of
its inhabitants, by priority OF right, to

time, Of the waters of Grow creek; and
liiS SOuIN hhho ma II oduu ClJf VI SIG1-
enne is entitled to an Injunction against
each and every Appropriation of water
from Crow creek or any of its tributaries,
e%nioining him and them to permit sufi-
cient water to flow down to the city ditch
and city of Cheyenne pipe line to satisfy
the said prior right of the said city, and
enioining him or them from diverting
water from the said Crow creek or either

such an extent as will in anywise interfere
with the said prior right of the city of

BY Rail to Alaska.

The great project of building railway
across Siberia, now being pushed to COM
pletion by the Russian government.
strongly holds out the idea that in the
very near future great iron belt from
this side of the world will meet it half
way. and travel by land from the new
world to the old will have been accom-
plished. Great railway corporations are
now seriously looking into this, as it
seems, stupendous project, but in reality
not as great an undertaking as eastern
people believe. The country that will
necessarily have to be crossed in west
British Columbia and central Alaska is
far from being the frigid zone that many
believe it to be.
The line would, undoubtedly, in its
course north strike the headwaters of the
Yukon river, then keep down the mighty
stream to within 100 miles Of the coast,
at OF near Nulato, where it would leave
the river, and running nearly west would
terminate at Cape Prince of Wales, with
in about fifty statute miles of the Siberian
coast. Very little difficulty, except, per
haps, in crossing the ranges at the head
waters of the Yukon, would be appre-
hended from deep SHOWS in winter. The
climate along the Yukon is dry, and but
very little snow falls tl1ere-from eigh-
teen inches to perhaps two feet in depth
Extreme cold, from 20 Co so degs. be-
low zero, only prevails about two months
in midwinter, and this would be the
greatest drawback to winter travel, I'm
n1ense forests skirt the route nearly to
h1 o,,1 o1Ho.,f L.
Yukon are probably the greatest coal
banks in the world. Branch lines would
tap all the coast settlements and the rich
mineral sections of the interior With
such fair country before them, it will
be wonderful, indeed, in this enlightened
and progressive age, if work has not
commenced on such line within a very
short time. Juneau Free Press.

Shoes in Ancient History.

The word ''shoe'' occurs thirty-one
times in the English version of the Bible
ga man plucked off his shoe and gave it
to his neighbor, and this was testimony
in Israel" ruth iv, y. "Over Edom
will / cast out my shoe" psalm TX, s..
These passages evidently refer to an
established symbolical use of the shoe in
transferring or taking possession of prop
erty. "Loosening the latchets'' of shoes
luke iii, 16) and clearing the shoes"
(Matthew Iii, . are alluded to as marks
of inferiority. In the east the shoes are
removed as mark of respect, God said
to Moses from the burning bush "Put
off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the
place whereon thou standest is holy
ground" Exodus iii, 81. Today an
Oriental takes off his shoes when enter
ing his church, but keeps on his head
gear. The Hebrews took great interest
in the ornamentation of their shoes.
Solomon exclaims: "How beautiful are
thy feet with shoes, o princes daugh-
ter!' GSongs vii, y. Elaborately worked
sandals are still much affected in the
east.
An old writer-Bend Boudoin-main-
tains that God, when giving Adam skins
of beasts for clothing gave him shoes of
the same matter. Fliny says that
Tychius, of Beotia, was the first who
made Shoes Xenophon tells us that the
10, 900 Greeks who were with him in the
great retreat were compelled, ''for the
want of Shoes" to cover their feet with
skins, which caused them great incon-
venience.--P Philadelphia Times.

Big Collection of Insects,

made a flying visit to Baltimore a
few days since to visit Professor Uhler,

who is known in the world of science as
an entomologist of the highest reputa-
ton. He is man of fifty old years, an
American by birth, but of German de-
scent. found him at his home, where
he is living with his second and young
wife. But the magnet of attraction was
his collection of insects, which now num-
bers 80, 900. These are from all parts of
the world. He has them stored in thin
double insect boxes, all in one moderately
sized room, where is also library, the
walls being lined TO the ceiling with
shelves filled with books. In its way
this collection is as famous as the Walters
Art gallery in the same city. Professor
Uhler has written a number of works
upon insects and is recognized through
out the word as an authority in biologia.
The insect world is known to contain
over 10000 different varieties. How
many of US are acquainted with as
many as ten different kinds?--New York

Women sufYraptsts in England.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, cleverest of New
York business women, discussed some
points of her recent sojourn in Europe.
She met there all sorts of people, under
all sorts of circumstances. She happened
to mention the fact that she was brought
in contact with number of women who
devote their lives to the struggle for
woman suffrage in England. She was
asked how this set of women compare
with their sisters in the United States.
She said: ''They are quite as earnest and
indomitable, and fire away at parliament
as regularly as our women do at the
legislatures. The only points of differ
ence which observed were these: The
woman suffrage champions whom I met
in England were ladies charming in
manner and fair to look upon. and,
strange as it may seem, ladies who took
considerable interest in gentlemen and
their society. Here, you may have OBJ
served, they are not always charming,
are seldom comely, and, as a rule, abhor
the society of men except such as openly
espouse their theories. New York Sun.

One day in 1862 Sidney Shivers, of
Webster, Ca, then IS years of age, en-
tered his fathers house, and, divesting
himself of his hat and clothes, dressed
himself in the uniform of a Confederate
soldier, in order to enter the southern
army, in the meantime hanging the hat
and clothes that he once wore upon peg
in his room. From that day to this the
hat and clothes have hung in that same
place, not hand having been allowed to
touch them in all that time, for they
have been held sacred to the memory of
the young Confederate soldier who
placed them there. The life of Sidney
Shivers went out soon after he entered
the army, but these mute memorials OF
the boy who once wore the gray still
hang where they were placed by him
twenty-six years ago-untouched in all
that time.-Chicago Herald.

sham FIGHT I'm the Crimea.

The Russians recently had a sham
fight at Sebastopol in the Crimea. The
ships anchored in the roads as were the
allies in the Crimean war, sending q
force ashore to assault the works. The
landing was made under a heavy fire
from the marine guns, and was replied
to from the old Redan and the new works
by what is described as a terrible cross
fire concentrated, point by point, on the
line of the advance from the sea. The
Wochenblatt says that, while these guns
remained in play, it is hard to see how
such maneuver as that of the Anglo
French armies could be repeated, even at
night, for sxch is the disposition of the
electric search lights that even the dark
ness Of night would scarcely prove suf-
fcient cloak for such an adventure. 1t
does not say, however, what might hap
pen if those operating the lights were
shelled ou..-ScientiIic American.

DAME NATURES DoINes.

The famous Goodwin sands in the
British channel are disappearing. They
have receded toward the Kentish coast
half mile within short time, and show
signs of generally breaking up.
Off the Lizard coast, in Cornwall, a
freak of nature has been rediscovered
which may have something to do with
the name of that part of the coast. In
the live rock is picture of a gigantic
serpent, coil after coil reaching down to

the scaly head and even the eyes can be
seen.
