The Board of Electrical Control has prob
ably done wisely in putting an end to the sub
way monopoly, and the legality Of its course is
sustained by the Corporation Counsel. Yester-
day it determined to enter into a contract with
a new construction company for the building
of subways for electric light and power con-
ductors. The arrangement was made with the
acquiescence of the old company, which is to
retain the work of putting down telegraph and
telephone condutS, but was violently a~~4sod
by the representatives of the eectric-Iight com
panieS, who raised the cry Of monopoly. This
seems, however to be the most direct plan for

The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
have awarded the contracts for the masonry
iron-wOrk, carpentering, and plumbing and gas
fitting of the new Criminal Court Building
which is to be erected IN Centre-st., just above
the Tombs. The contracts were given to the
four lowest bidders for the different kinds of
work, and aggregate the sum OF SI,277. 900.
This is S72,7O0 less than the lowest proposal
made for the entire work advertised, and the
Commissioners showed good judgment in ac-
cepting the separate bids. There has been
some fault found with the site selected for this
building, but when it is completed and in use
it will doubtless be found satisfactory in this
respect as well as in others

Visitors for the Most Part Capitalists on

Several Big Deals TO Be Closed by To.
morrow Night.

Cheyenne is developing a capacity for
crowd absorption that may in the west be
considered a really metropolitan attribute.
Excursions from Denver and the east came
to town yesterday and though both were
OF fair proportions the presence of more
strangers could scarcely be noticed.
The official railway report from Denver
gave the number of Cheyenne excursion
tickets as lO3, and tie Burlington and
Union Pacific brought from the east
enough visitors to swell the total number
to $50.
1t was one of the best crowds yet seen
here, the party being composed almost
exclusively OF representative men. The
managers said the visitors we're nearly all
capitalists, and the appearance of the peo-
pie bore out this statement. They quickly
registered at the hotels and camped in the
realty Offices or took carriages and were
driven around the city.
Manager Bridges of the Interior com
p1ny, was well satisfied with the party.
He said last evening that be had several
customers from Colorado and Nebraska,
AID expected to close a couple of good.

A Cheyenne Man and His Honest star
Route Mail Contract.

In 1878 Luke Voorhees,, now territorial
treasurer, had an important star route
contract out from Fargo, OAK, almost
into the British possessions. Before his
term of service expired railways were
built, and a special agent recommended a
change and mysteriously limited that the
Cheyenne man was getting more money
than the work was worth.
On the strength of the report, and in
1880. the department took the contract
away from MI. Voorhees, without warn
ing, refused to pay him $4,000 then due
and sued him for sl4 1000.
In a few years a trial was had before
Circuit Judge Dundy at Omaha and the
department was worsted. The case was
carried to the supreme court OF the
United States.
Mr.. Voorhees, was more than pleased
Yesterday when he received a telegram
from Washington bringing the news that
the decision of the lower court had been
affirmed, that the SUIT against him had
been dismissed and hat he was awarded
the $4,000 rightly due him.
The territorial treasurer is to be con
graduated on the outcome of the manly
fight he has made. He wanted to estab-
lish the fact that a man could have a star
route mail contract and refrain from
worsting the government. He has sue
ceeded, but at heavy cost. Attorney fees
and attendant expenses have about con-
sumed the money he earned ten years ago
and should have received at that time.

Three lunacy cases were disposed of in
Judge Bergman's court yesterday. In
the inquiries concerning Mrs. Harriet L.
Coleman and James Nolan there was no
doubt as to the unbalanced mental con

that effect were returned in short order.
rheo. Berman, who ran Joe Sladek's
night express for a long time, came into
court and was subjected to a careful ex
animation. He has rational attacks, but
is most of the time off his base The jury
came to the conclusion that there was
hope for the man and recommended his
detention in some quiet place for a few
months. He may recover. In this case
the jury was Warren Richardson. ST.,

NO GREEDY TOURNEY.
The Little Town Cannot Secure
Prize Money. 80.
An Attempt Made to Combine Two
Associations. g.
Greeley Was Voted an Event It
Could Not Handle.

No tournament will be held this year by
the Northern Colorado and Southern
Wyoming Volunteer Firemen's a~ssocia-
ton. Greeley was selected as the racing
town, but the rural little goody-goody
place has tailed to arrange for the meet.
Louis G. jerks, who is Cheyenne's
member OF the board OF control, has been
notified that Greeley r~elinquishes all
claims to the tournament for the reason
that the two associations cannot agree on
a programme and rules.
Greeley was voted the 1890 tournament
at the meeting here last year. This spring
the committee of that department Sc
cured an appropriation of 81 900 from the
Greeley city treasury on the misrepresen-
tatIon that the Northern Colorado and
Southern Wyoming and Colorado State
Associations would contest for the prizes.
An injunction suit was instituted by citi-
zens.
In the meantime the Greeley fire de-
partment called a meeting of the boards
Of the two associations. Only a quorum
of the one with which Cheyenne is iden-
titled appeared. An adjournment was
taken, but it was impossible to get a ma
iority OF the state board to Greeley.
The northern Colorado and southern
Wyoming board refused to accede to the
appeal Of the Greeley department for an
amalganation. The former would have
everything to lose and nothing to gain.
and besides a combine is expressly forbid
den by association law.
This left the Greeley people in a diem
ma from which they could not extricate
themselves. The committee had secured
money under false pretenses and could
not hold it. As a matter of fact the rep
rese1tativcs of Greedy at the meeting here
last year bit of more than the little cold
watert own could masticate. Under the
headof ''Greely Penuriousness the Fort
Collins Express thus sums up the situa-
ton:
Two years ago the fremen's tourna-
ment of northern Colorado and southern
Wyoming was held in Fort Collins; last
year it was held in Cheyenne. This year
Greeley was to have had it. The tow
council OF Greeley appropriated 81. 900
for the benefit of the tournament. Some
OF the taxpayers of Saints Rest objected
to the APPROPRIATION of public funds for
such a frivolous purpose and brought suit
for an injunction to restrain the town
board from paving the 81 900. The suit
was lost, however. In the meantime
Greeley secured the state tournament,
with the idea of combining the two, but
when the association came to vote on the
question Fort Collins voted against COM
bining the two tournaments on the
ground that the state association is made
up of professionals and contains no genu.
Inc fIemen. The result is that Greeley
loses both tournaments.
About the only recourse for the Chey.
enue iremen rs to get up a local tourna
ment.
1t would be an excellent idea to organ
ize a territorial association to give a big
tournament here next year. Every tow
on the Union Pacific would send one oil
more teams. By hat time there would
be transit from the moth and a tremen,
dous crowd would attend.

Drowning of Cowboy Bradley In the
Platte at Wendovcr.

Special Correspondence of The Leader
WENDovER, Wyo May l9.-Wm.
Bradley, a cowboy from Gering, Neb..
was drowned in attempting to ford the
Platte fifty yards below the bridge this
morning. He was IS years old and has a
sister, Mrs. Mary Couklin, at Gering.
The body has not vet been found and
months may elapse before its recovery.
The man was told that the trip across
the river on his poor horse was a perilous
one, but forced the animal to plunge into
the swift, icy current.
Near the middle of the stream the
horse gave out and Bradley forsook the
float and struck out for the shore. He
was within a few yards Of the bank when
he glanced about and noticed the horse
nearing the other side. This sight seems
to have stampeded him. for he immedl-
stely turned around and started swim
ming after the horse. His clothes were
by this time thoroughly soaked and heavy
and he sank beneath the burden.
While he was yet struggling ropes were
thrown to Bradley. but he could not sum
mon strength to assist in his rescue.
The horse acted strangely after the
death of his master. He tiled to cross
the railroad bridge and falling rolled over
the side and into the river. He swan to
the shore and was captured after a hard
chase.
