did not identify either the tag OF the bal
lots. There were three or four Illegal
ballots cast IN the precinct.
Fl. Holman had been appointed one of
the judges, but owing TO the ~indisposition
of a clerk exchanged places with him. He
couldn't identify the tag on the ballots.
Tie writing it contained was not his.
These ballots had been wrapped in cream
colored wrapping paper, of about the
same color as the poll-book covers, and
tied with string. When brought out of
the box in the courtroom, they were
simply tied together and not covered with
paper of any sort. Some Of the ballots,
but not all, he identified as having been
endorsed in his handwriting.
Judge Van Devanter wanted all the
legal ballots and those marked Illegal
in the two precincts counted to decide the
question of the correctness OF the count.
Mr.. Stoll objected on the ground that any
evidence which showed that the ballots
were not IN the same condition as they
were when they left the hands of the
election judges must bring the case to a
termination, and the official count must
stand.
Judge Scott said he desired to have
this matter thoroughly argued by counsel
The law point thus raised will be discussed
beginning at 9 O'Clock this morning.

George NJ. Cross. foreman for Coffman
4 Coble at their ranch at Iron Mountain,
died yester lag morning with congestion of
the lungs. Several weeks ago Mr.. Cross
was injured BY being struck on the side by
a scraper handle. Peritonitis set in, and
for some time his condition was critical.
He had, however, almost fully recovered,
and was in the city last week. On Thurs
day, while at the ranch, he took a heavy
chill, which in his weakened condition de-
veloned rapidly into congestion of the
lungs. He sent for medical aid, but the
word did not reach his physician promptly,
and when DR.. Maynard reached HIN he
was beyond recovery.
Mr.. Gross has been a %well-known resi-
dent OF the county for the past eight
years. He was foreman for Snyder &
Jones, later for j. w. Collins and for the
past three years has had charge OF the
ranch OF j. c. Coble. He was about 80
years of age and leaves a wife and one
child. Mrs. Cross is in precarious health.
and it is feared the present sffliction will
render her condition serious.
The remains will be brought to town to-
day and notice of the time of funeral will
be given tomorrow.

TmEY AKE LEGAL.
So the Supreme Court Decides In III,
Crook County bond Case.

The supreme court was in session at
the capitol Yesterday. The opinion on
the agreed statement Of facts between
Crook county and the Rollins Investment
company of Denver was delivered by
Judge Conway and c%oncurred in by the
other judges Of the supreme court.
The opinion of the court s~ustai0s the
legality of the issue of bonds and sends
the case to the district court for Judgment.
fhe facts OF the case were these: Crook
county voted to issue $55, 900 of bonds to
refund an existing Indebtedness of floating
and outstanding warrants which had been
incurred while Wyoming was still a
territory.
The bonds were voted and issued on the
annual assessment of 1889. The state
constitution provided that counties could
bond their then existing Indebtedness
Crook county took advantage of the pro-
vision in the constitution and issued
bonds on the annual assessment of 1889,
when the rolls showed taxable property to
the amour OF S2,27S. 476. 50. After
wards, when Weston county had been
taken from and erected into a separate
county. the assessment roll of 1890 showed
only 81, 500, 600 of taxable property.
Wyoming became "A state on July 10,
1890, and at that time the 1890 assess
ment was not quite completed and on
-. - II
opinion that the bonds were legal and that
the assessment of 1889 was the one prior
to the constitution.
The Rollins investment company has
been willing all along to take the bonds,
but as sJme difference of opinion had
arisen between some of the leading law
yers, they decided to have the matter
brought up to the supreme court for a
decision.

Mr.. Harrington hal presented at the
last meeting of the council a petition from
Mrs. Kimme. in which, as be read it, she
had agreed to pay for the work, provid-

THE SNYDER SUBWAY.
The mayor notified the council that as
he was instructed, he had communicated
with the railroad officials in regard to the
Snyder street subway, and had received
word from them that they would meet
him today at . o'clock to discuss the
question whether it should be built of
wood or stone.
The meeting adjourned with the still
small voice of Alderman Harrington
raising the roof on the subject of a verbal
contract which be (HarrinRton) hadn't
