The "ROcky Mountain News :"

Denver, Colo, August For
some time there have been various
rumors in circulation regarding the
sale of the Rocky Mountain News to
a republican syndicate of this city,
composed of Senator Wolcott, his
brother, Henry Wolcott, Gov. Coop
er, w. 81. Griffith and Hon. j. S.
Clarkson of Iowa. The syndicate
paid $4,000 on option, which expir-
ed at midnight last night, and as
the remaining $39O,OOO was not
forthcoming, Col. John Atkins,
president of the News, called the
deal off, and this morning published
the following editorial:
MIR. Thomas NJ. Patterson has
purchased the whole of Mr.. James
M. Burnelrs stock in the Rocky
Mountain News Printing Company,
which was a full half, and also
enough of the stock owned by Mr..
| John Arkins to give him majority
of the stock and the control of this
paper. Mr.. Patterson has determin,
ed to retire from the practice of law
after the closing out of his present
courts by trial or otherwise, and then
to assume the editorial management
of the News. Although because Of
his pressing engagements, he cannot
now give his personal attention te
the paper, he will hold himself re
sponsible for its editorial utterancei
henceforth. Nr. Atkins will contin
ue. as heretofore, the president ant
manager of the company.
Mr.. Patterson is well known a.
the leading democratic and crimina
lawyer of Colorado. He was a can
didate for governor two years ago
and he was defeated by Joe B
Cooper. He was territorial dele
gate to congress during the sessio.
of 1875 and 1876, and made na
tional reputation for himself in hi
speeches seconding the nomination
| of Mr.. Cleveland at the st. Loui
convention.

What Filley is After.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Washington, Aug.6.-What Filley
is after is no great secret here. He
is after bigger game in fact he wants
to be United States senator. Filley's
agents, notoriously Colonel Bill Sui
Ivan of Gallatin, now a postoffice
Inspector, have been running
through Missouri trying to make
trades with local democrats. They
are willing to swap republican votes
for ell the local Offices in the differ.
ent counties in exchange for
q vote for the republican candi.
date for mem ber of the legislature.
Major William Warner can do the
oratorical act and Dick Kerens can
put up the Doodle and jeff Chandler
can act as Keren's catspaw. But,
all the same, if the republicans cap
ture the next legislature of Mis-
souri, Chauncey I. Filley will re
ceive the caucus nomination for SEN
ator. This has been no secret in
Washington, either in democrat Or
republican circles, for some time
past. The old man is looking after
vindication and that is the kind of
a vindication he is after. The post
mastership at St. Louis was the on
" office in the gift of the admins
tration that he cared for; that was
refused to him, although he hum
bled himself sufficiently to come here
to Washington, toady somewhat to
Noble and the congressman and
make an abject plea to the presi'
dent.
He discovered then that he could
get no favors from the administers
tian as long as Noble had the ears
OF the president. He understand
that now as we'll as he did then, but
he knows that it would be just Al
difficult for him to get the sub-tres
urership as to get the postmaster
ship. Fillev knows that he is th,
strongest man in his party in Mis-
souri,, that he is the most popula
man, and if the republicans can con
troll the next legislature that he cal
get the caucus nomination for tn,
senatorship, no matter how mucl
money Kerens and the boodlers ma,
put up to purchase the election o
republican members of the legisl,
ture.

THE BANK WINS.
Supreme Court Saws the Swans Must
Paw s25 900.

There was a large attendance on yes,
terday afternoons session of the supreme
court at the capitol. The crowd was
brought out to hear the decision in the
case of the First National Bank of Chey-
enne rs. Swan Bros, and Latrentz, in
volving $50, 600 or more.
Besides the lawyers there was present
a number of business men and prominent
citizens. 7. B. Hicks, president of the
bank. sat well back and seemed uneasy.
The Swans were represented only by their
attorneys.
Justice Sauhey rendered the opinion.
1t reverses the decision of the lower
court in favor of Swan Bros. and La
frentz, and orders that the attachment
dissolved by that tribunal resume. The
case now stands exactly where it did
when the bank levied an attachment on
the Swan property on Seventeenth street
and on collateral. Justice Saufey ex-
pressly stated that he did not remand the
cause for a new trial.
For the defendants Attorney Bryan en-
tered an exception to the decision.
Justice Suiey's style of opinion has
been described as flowing, and yester-
days decision was like others. He gave
a clear calculation of each point, covering
the ground fully, but rapidly. His terms
were all legal and once or twice when he
brought out points favorable to the
Swans Mr.. Hicks paled and even his
counsel seemed i'll at ease, but in the end
a broad smile Illuminated the counte-
nances of all on the winning side.
Alter adjournment LAWYERS and laymen
gossiped about the great case. When
the Swans failed the bank attached GER
tain property to secure payment of notes
aggregating S25, 900.
After a lengthy trial in which there
was a formidably array of legal talent on
either side Judge Maginnis declared the
attachment imperfect and Dissolved it.

A PRIZE FIGHT.
A Battle Near Laramie Between a
Negro and a White Man.

Laramie had a prize fight Thursday
night. The combatants were a negro
r%oustabout and a fly white barber. They
sluGged assiduously for four rounds, when
the sponge was thrown up for the white
man. Both scrappers bled not a little
and were considerably bruised, but had
recovered in a few hours. The negro is
now in Cheyenne.
An old barrack at the abandoned mill
tary post of Fort Sanders, three miles
east of Laramie, was the scene of the
battle and the audience included Lara
mics foremost sporting men.
A purse of SIS was given the negro for
winning the match. No science was
shown.
There was at Que stage a hot dispute
at the ring side. A revolver was drawn,
but peace was restored before anyone was
injured.
