tation. 1t is owned by the mining COM
panies doing business at Hill Top and
was just being completed. The Dubois
brothers of Denver are interested in it
and the road is intended to open up
quite a mineral territory in Park
county.
Since he road was started there has
been some trouble over the right of
way. Among those holding land over
which the road passes is w. J.. Peall Of
30 Bank block. Denver. His land lies
between Fairplay and Horseshoe, and
law, George Hoffman of this place.
Peall claims that the road had sur
veyed aud was laying it's tracks over
1880 feet of his land. He is said to
have had some deal on for an agree
ment for the land, but no settlement
was made, and after numerous delays,
Peall became eXasperated.
He stated on arriving at Alma that
the road mad not reached an agreement
with him over the right Of way and
chat he didn't propose chat it should
cross his land. Accordingly he went
up, with his brother-in-law, to the dis
puted territory. Peall and Hoffman
took along with them a quantity of
giant powder. This they placed on the
pr., "A -, F~, 4, J.t,,~.a A--.
and blew up that part OF the road that
crosses their land. The act was done
some time during yesterday. 1t was
made known this morning.
What the result will be has not been
determined. The officials of the road
have been notified and in any event
there seems to be a court suit IN, al
though there is no question as to Peall's
ownership.

WILL GET THE EMBLEM.
COLORADO STATE SUPREME
COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR
OF REPUBLICANS.
Gives the Supporters of William Nc
kinley and the St. Louis Platform
the Party Emblem and the Party
Name-It Vas a Holly Contested
Case.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court today handed down opinions in
the two much discussed political con-
troversies. The Mckinley faction Of
the republican party are given the par
ty name and the emblem of the secre-
tary of state is ordered to certify to the
various county clerks and nominations
made in the Colorado Springs conven-
ton. The populist contention is decid-
ed in favor of the Patterson faction,
and the Bailey ticket gains the emblem.
In the populist case the court decided
that the district court had jurisdiction
and an application for a writ of prohi-
bition on behalf of the Waite faction
was denied. The opinion in the McKin-
ley case concludes as follows:
THE Importance of the question at
issue in this proceeding cannot be we'll
over estimated. One of the great poll
teal parties, now struggling for con-
troll OF the national as we'll as the state
government, will, If the decision of the
secretary of the state prevails, be de-
prived OF the opportunity Of placing its
ticket before the people Of the State of
Colorado, for their suffrages at the ap-
preaching of the election and the peo-
Pile will, to that extent be disfranchis-
ed. The petitioners are contending for
the right to have a ticket on the official
ballot not to keep off-the right to
place before the voters another ticket,
and not to deprive any other party Of
The court cannot refuse to entertain
Jurisdiction of such a controversy, al
though we are not unmindful of the
force of the objection urged by the
counsel that the precedent will furnish
some excuse for like applications in the
future in other controversies growing
out of the election law. We trust, how
ever, that the court will be able to pro-
tect itself and its appellate business.

the counsel predicts. Every application
