OMAHA, May General Manager
Clark knows now what caused his alarm
aud the orders to watch for a Rock Island
invasion of Union Pacific tracks aud
bridge at Council Bluffs and Beatrice,
Omaha and other points on the line on
Saturday night. He had heard a rumor
from the Bluffs several days previously
that the Rock Island was about to try to
run the blockade again and knew there
was nc stipulation to prevent it. Satur-
day evening he found that a man named
West from Kansas City and another
named jenkins from Denver had hired a
lot OF Den from the boarding houses to
do track laying. All of the railways
professed innocence of any intent to put
down rails on Sunday, but the superin.
tendent chose to keep on the sale side.
Yesterday he heard that a street-car track
was being laid to Dundee. an Omaha
suburb, and going out there found West
and jenkins with their men. That told
the whole story and the Union Pacific
patrol engines have been taken of.

NEBRASKA DIVISION CHANGES.
A story Which Extends Back tor
Several Years.

1t took a long time to bring about the
prophecy, but it will come true on June
LIST. P. j. Nichols will then be made
superintendent of the Nebraska division
Of the Union Pacific, a place that he held
years ago until the Adams administration
bounced him. He Is one of the old
timers and has many friends in this city
knd along the road. Mr.. Nichols went
out yesterday on a special train in com
pany with President Dillon, General Man
ager Clark, Assistant General Manager
Dickinson, Comptroller Mink. Superin.
tendents KortY and Mcdonnell and Chief
Clerk Orr.
Robert Blickeusderfer, whom Nichols
succeeds, was superintendent of the
Nebraska division some years ago, was
dismissed by Dickinson and relnstated by
Holcomb. He is also an old timer and
son Of the veteran consulting engineer of
the road. There is a story about the
affair. Bob Baxter. who was a prolific
source OF dissension on the Union Pacific,
sought to uphold several conductors
whom Blickensderfer fired about
four years ago. Dickinson, who
always sided with Baxter. wrote
to Blickensderfer, demanding why he had
discharged the men. B~lickensderfer con-
siderinR himself a sufficient authority to
discharge, did not deign to reply in due
form, but wrote on a bit of toilet paper,
because l had them dead to rights"
and pinned that to DickinsOn's letter for
an answer. 1t was not long before Blick-
ensderfer's head went off. Subsequently
he was put in charge of construction work
in Utah for the Union Pacific, but as soon
as the news reached Dickinsou's office
Blickensderfcr was let out again. Blick-
ensdorfer afterward told sjme of the men
that he believed he had made a mistake
in answering Dickinson's letter as he had.
After Dickinson was discharged and
Blickensderfer was reinstated. the latter
took marked care to have no trouble with
Dickinson's old friends. But it made no
difference. Dickinson has been in office
just six DAYS and Blickensderfer is given
notice that he is bounced. Dickens
derfer will go to lis farm in Kansas for
the present.

WHY IS IT?
A Law Which Has Been a Dead
Letter for Over a Year.
Fire Insurance Companies Escape
Free in Cheyenne,
But They CheerfulIy Face the Music
in Laramie.

On March 10, 1890, a law passed by
the legislature received the governors ap-
prevail. 1t provides that all FIRE insurance
companies doing business IN the state
shall pay a duty for the support of the
FIRE companies in the various own of the
state.
Two provisions which bear most d.
rectly on the subject are as follows:
There shall be paid on the first days OF
July and January of each year, to the
treasurer OF any incorporated city or
town, for the use, support and benefit of
the hre companies composing the fire de-
partment of shy such city or town, by
every underwater who shall effect any
hire insurance and by any person who
shall act as agent for any fire insurance
company, association or underwater what
ever, in I'M such city or town, a duty or
rate OF one percentum upon the amount
of all premiums which during the year OF
part of 4 year ending on the next preced
ing first day of July or January, shall
have been received by such underwater
or agent, or by any other person for him,
or shall have been agreed to be paid upon
any insurance effected or agreed to be eff
iected, or promised by him as such agent
or otherwise, against loss or injury by fire
in any such city or town.
Sec. 3. All moneys so paid to the
treasurer of any such city or town, under
the provisions of this act, shall, within
fifteen days after having been paid to
the said treasurer of such city or town,
be paid by said treasurer to the treasurer
OF the fire department OF such city or
town, taking his receipt therefor.
So far as Cheyenne is concerned the
provisions of the law have never been
put in force. Efforts have been made by
several fire department officials to get &C.
ton, but they have been put off upon
various protexts until forbearance has
ceased to be a virtue. One of the prin-
cipal statements made against the law
was that 1t could not be enforced. That
this is utterly untrue is evidenced by the
fact that Treasurer Gramm of LaramI lie
has been making the collections from the
various fire insurance companies doing
business in that town. These collections
have been made from the FIRE agents do
ing business there, who represent a total
OF forty-six companies.
If this matter has received attention in
Laramie there is no reason why it should
not here, except for the negligence or
dissemination of the official charged with
the duty. The LEADER thus publicly
calls attention to the matter so that the
benefits a~ccruing may be enjoyed By the
fire companies.

\ FINE
What II Cost to Keep Him for Duv-
ing Purposes.

There are quite a number of lovers of
horselesh here in Cheyenne who hold the
reins over some horses is good as can be
found in the West. They are fine, fast.
sleek-lOoking animals that show evidence
Of blood and good grooming.
The happy owners will pass their en-
vious neiEhbors on the road, and with a
twinkling eye and a merry nod call to them
to come on" or else stay behind to

Still a horse is a luxury. especially a
horse hat is worth driving, as a reporter
found out after enquirng the expense of
feeding him in Cheyenne. Oats, hay and
all kinds OF grain are quoted at prices
''out of sight, and a horse will cost as
much or more thar you pay for cigars or
other personal expenses. Oats are quoted
here at 50 25 per hundred pounds, while
hay is $50 per ton, and straw will have to
be paid for at sl2 per ton.
A horse doing ordinary family road
work will eat at least ten pounds of oats
per day, and that will make his oats cost
you 224 cents. He will need also hay
ana Will eat nearly twenty-five pounds
