Tho Boomereng and one or " more

There ere some minor de-
tails yet to be arranged, but there Is no
contention whatever between Mr.. Bos-
well and Mr.. Bourne. Mr.. Bourne was
recs0tly elected mayor of the town OF
Beatrice. Neb., and 1t became necessary
for him to hasten home, in order that he
might qualify on Tuesday. He stated
while here that there was no question
but that the Marsh contract expired with
the death Of Mr.. Marsh and that he
would advise the heirs to %relinquish all
claim. II 10 the opinion Of the best law
yers In the state that the contract with
James Marsh was a personal contract
and expired at the time OF his death.
1lr. Bourne will return to Laramie in
about . week and then the minor mat
ters already referred to will doubtless be
adjusted in a satisfactory name to all
concerned. At any rate, Mr.. Boswell
could NOT possibly have any controversy
with Judge Bourne and the Marsh

ooly the state to look to for redress in
case Of trouble.

fort to have the goods which go TO the

scarcely probable that the business mon

q Viiful falsehood, calculated to injure
his personal credit.
