STATING THE MATTER.
Another Meeting to Consider the
Land Letter.
The Board of Trade Will Ask
Cooperation.
Another Meeting of the Trustees
To-day.

Another meeting of the board of trade
trustees was held at the office Of Secretary
Stable yesterday for the purpose of con-
sidering the communication which is to
be addressed to the department at Wash
ington concerning patents to government
lands. Ex-Governor Warren, president
of the board, presided and every member
of the board of trustees was in attend
ance.
A considerable time was spent in con
sidering the draft of the communication,
and various opinions were expressed as to
what should be its form and substance.
Great care is to be taken not to have it
too long, and, on the other hand, it is
proposed to have it just elaborate enough
to present the point clearly to the depart.
ment. The main point to be urged is
that where patents are withheld after the
time has elapsed when bygood rights they
ought to be received, the settlers are not
able to either sell their land or to raise
money on 1t if they desire to do so 10 or
der to have the means at hand for its
proper improvement and development.
The question of title is left in such a de-
gree of uncertainty that it in effect par
alyzes the business of the territory so far
as hat business is dependent or rests on a
landed basis.
The board of trustees in this communi-
cation do not ask that patents be issued
and forwarded more promptly except in
cases where there is no contest pending
over the rights of entry or settlement, but
they do ask that where parties have made
final proof in good faith and thereby be-
come entitled to patents Immediately,
that the department shall adopt some
plan or system. whereby they can be
issued and forwarded without unreasona-
Bile delay.
The board did not conclude its consid-
Grafton Of this matter yesterday, but will
hold another meeting to-day at IL a. M.
for the purpose of coming to a final I'M
Outstanding as to Just what the communi-
cation shall contain. The board however
concluded to ask the corporation of all
other boards Of trade and business assoc
Citations in the territory, and a circular
was prepared, which after being printed
will be sent out by the board to all the
principal cities and towns in the territory
which have organizations corresponding
to the Cheyenne board of trade. 1t is
proposed to ask through this circular that
all such organizations address communion
tions to the department OF the interior
upon this point in order that it may be
understood in Washington what is the
fact, and nothing less, and that the peo-
pie of the entire territory are asking
this.
This is one of the best move that has
ever been made by our board of trade and
it reflects credit upon that organization,
demonstrating as it does that business
sagacitY and foresight control its councils
and shapes its course.
, 1888-08-04

There is considerable anxiety felt by
those who are entitled to desert land
patents to know what the department has
done in reference to their individual claims
since it was learned here that the author
tiles have ordered the cancellation OF
filings heretofore put upon desert lands in
Wyoming to the extent of some Al, 1000
acres. The officers of the land office here
have as yet received no intimation as to
what land is to be affected by this action,
and while it is surmised by some that it is
land now held and under the control OF
various large companies there is nothing
to base their surmises on. The land Office
here will probably receive official advices
in reference to these lands by the middle
of the coming week.

A FIERCE BATTLE
Between a Band of Wolves and
Cowboys.
A FeroCiOus COncIave Southeast of
Cheyenne.
They Attack and Kill Several Head
of Cattle.

The facts concerning a desperate encoun-
ter between a fierce band of dog wolves
which occurred about fourteen miles
southeast of Cheyenne on Wednesday of
this week were made known in the city for
the first time yesterday forenoon.
1t seems that Tor some years past there
have been %prowling around on the out
skirts of the Hereford range, which ex-
tends for a number of miles below the
home ranch, a number of wolf.dogs who
were at first somewhat like the coyote de-
scr.bed by Mark Twain, but gradually
these animals became holder and holder as
their numbers increased until the present,
when they opened up for business as the
most ferocious animals in the shape of
wolves, or half wolves, that have ever
been mel with in this portion of the West
They have recently blossomed out into
animals that will not retreat at the sight
of man or any number of them, but on
the contrary, they will turn and fight, and
a most desperate fight they can wage.
Very recently this fierce and hungry
band have become unusually bold and
have within a very short time attacked
and killed cattle that were ranging in that
vicinity. How many cattle have been
killed by these animals THE LEADERS in
tormant was not able to say, but the car
cases oil several partially devoured steers
and cows have recently been found.
This state of affairs demanded atten-
ton and could not be ignored, for it was
evident that unless check was put to this
plundering by wild beasts the losses in
cattle would be quite heavy, and with the
view OF taking some steps to rid the re-
gion alluded to of these ugly pests, sew
eral cowboys and others banded them
selves together on Wednesday and started
out to trail them up. They rode for e v
eral miles in a southeasterly direction. and
about the middle of the afternoon came
upon a band of twenty close to some
bluffs about fourteen miles from the city.
The cowboys, who were all well armed,
opened fire on the band, but contrary to
what had been their expectation the rave
nous band turned upon them and a fierce
fight followed. OF course the cowboys
had the advantage as they were all
mounted, and then again the firing had
not lasted long before several of the
wolves were dead or disabled, but the
fight eventually became what is termed a
running fight. and the cowboys had the
best of it. There were originally between
twenty and thirty OF the wolves, of which
thirteen were killed, and the rest getting
scattered somewhat and night coming on
made good their escape. 1t was sup
posed that this would about break up the
band, but it was learned yesterday that
the wolves were gathering again, and not
only that, but have killed a COW since the
fight above alluded to.
Preparations are now being made for
another wolf hunt, which will not only be
exciting but it is hoped will result in tie
determination of the entire band.

Cinnamon who Claim Relationship to
Lee Young.

More than a year ago a Chinaman
named Lee Young drew a knife and un,
dertook to cut into mince meat the pas
sengers on one of the western bound
trains but did not succeed in so doing.
He was yanked off the train here and tax
en- to the city jail, where he completed
the task he ha6 undertaken before leav-
ing the car, Of tearing up $l75 in bills
which he had with him. He tore the
money into small fragments and other.
wise so conducted himself that doubts
were entertained of his sanity, and he was
taken to the county hospital where he
committed suicide by hanging himself the
next night. The fragments of the bills
were gathered up by the coroner and
eventually turned over to Judge Berg
man.
The Judge industriously sorted out the
fragments and put them together in their
proper shape, after which the whole
batch was sent to the treasury depart
ment at Washington which in due time
sent back $40 in good money. This
money has since been held by Judge
Bergman for the relatives Of the dead
Chinaman whoever they are or wherever
they may hail from. Judge Bergman
has had a call from Gen. Beetle, Chinese
consul general at San Francisco, for the
money, he claiming it under some treaty
between u government and China,
which however doesn't apply to this case
at all. and Judge Bergman refused to
give it up.
Since that time nearly every new
Chinaman who comes to Cheyenne as
soon as he hears of this money goes up
and represents himself to Judge Berg
man as being a relative of the deceased.
When asked to explain what relation they
were to him they invariably reply me
all samee cousin to Lee Young" AS
this degree Of relationship is too thin the
answer invariably is Cousin don't go all
samee." 1t is surmised that Lee Young
must have had about 1000 cousins judg-
ing from the number of callers for that
money.

President Hoyt of the territorial univer-

the corps of ASSISTANTS and teachers, The
governor is also very anxious that a few
pupils should be received into the u%niver-
