eX rel. :. II. Cranmer ". Thomas Thor
son. Judge Garland appeared for Secre-
tary 1horson and Cranmer for himself.
Judge Garland moved that the order TO
show cause be vacated and set aside. The
court ruled that the motion would be con-
s.dered with the main case, which would
be heard al the present time, on account
Of the short time in which the question
must be decided by the secretary. Gram
mer contended for a close construction
OF tie provisions OF the constitu-
ton. while Judge Garland took the
position that the provisions should be
construed literally. Cranmer said that
the Legislature in the act passed took no
position AT all. 1t only asked the people
a question and in that il failed 10 express
Their viii in any way and failed TO ask for
a striking out of the prohibitory amend
ment. only for a repeal. Garland took the
position that repeal was the same in effect
as the words TO strike out and that all
that is required OF the Legislature for an
amendment is TO agree 10 submit TO the
people for an expression OF their own
The decision will probably be handed
down in a few days on account of the
short time IN which the secretary must
take action.

The Disappearance of Frank Porter

Frank Porter's Disappearance.

There seems to be considerable mystery
in regard to the whereabouts OF FRANK
Porter, who disappeared in the vicinity
of Leslie, on the Cheyenne River, about a
month ago. Ii was reported at the TINE
that he had been drowned in the Cheyenne
River and that his body had been recov-
cred. Several ranchmen IN from that Sec
ton OF the country say all that they can
learn definitely is that he disappeared
about a month ago, aud that his horse was
found wandering along the Cheyenne
River with his saddle and bride on.
Nothing has been heard from him IN any
way and no trace OF him has been lound
The ranchmen in that part OF the country
believe that he was drowned, but know
nothing definitely. James CavanauGh,
one of them, said that lie had heard OF the
fnding by Ind ans of a badly decompoSed
body near the mouth OF Cheyenne River,
but parties in from the agency, near that
portion of the river. say there Is no report
