CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 1.-The supreme
court Saturday decided the Carbon county
cases, holding that while there were tech
meal defects in the certificates of nominal

the Carbon county returns, thus giving the
certificates of election to the Democrats in

The Governorship Again
Every member of the supreme court is a
Republican. The question OF the govern.
Orship is again at the front. Acting Gov.
ernor Barber last week signed pardon for
James Moore. The pardon was sent to the
warden of the penitentiary at Laramie and
returned with the information that it
must be signed by Governor Osborne to be
of any force at that institution. A peti
ton for writ of habeas corpus was pre-
sented to the supreme court and the writ
was granted. The matter came up for
a hearing during Saturday. A decis
ion in this case by the highest tribunal
in the state will settle the vexed question
of who was governor of Wyoming. Os.
