District JUDGE
BOUGHTON NOMINATED

But TIL. re- Was Duly Partial Fusion vt
Greeley.
Fusion on the judicial ticket failed for
the fact that the three parties could not
agree. The Democrats and Silver Re.
publicans nominated the following
ticket:
judge-Hon. ]. H. Boughton of Fort
Collins.
District Attorney-Nor.on Montgom
cry of Boulder
The Populists nominated Adam c
Patton, Of Boulder fer judge and passed
up the district at,orneyship. The situa.
ton is this: The Populists, led by Pat
ton and Merwin, of Boulder. would not
have the name Of Boughton, and the
Democrats and Silver Republicans
would have no one else. That is it in a
nutshell,
1t took fron two o'clock yesterday
afternoon until three o'clock this morn
ing to settle the matter, SO the Populists
adiourn.d their convention at ten clock
o NJ. after having received notice of the
refusal OF The other Two parties to accept
Patton, aud while the other parties were
still ciamoring for further conference.
The FIRST conference committee labored
for hours and finally awarded the judge
ship 10 the populists and the attorney
ship to the Democrats. The report was
adopted by the Democratic and Populist
conventions, and by vote OF 3 Tor Pat
ton to 10 for Boughton, the former was
nominate IN the populist convention. S,l
yer Republicans feeling certain that Pa
ton would be theP opuiist nominee, refused
TO adept the conference report. Pat,on's
nomination by the Populists occurred at
six o'clock-during recess for supper Of
the other two conventions With one
voice almost, the Dem, Gratis and Silver
Republicans said never" to that pIopo-
sition-although there were those who
advised acceptance of the Populist nom
inee. On reassembl,ng the Democra
reconsidered their action adopting the
conference report and asked for a new
conference. The Silver Republicans
ioined in this request. but the Populis,s
refused further conference, and gave tie
Democrats thirty minutes in which to
submit a proposition. TIE Democra S
and Silver Republicans took an hour a,
it and finally offered the Populsts thai,
they would accept Boughton as their nom.
inee, or would agree to 60 into joint ses
sion with the three parties TO settle who
would be the nominee. This was prompt
ly turned down by the Popul,sts, who a
few minutes later adjourned sine die.
Later the Democrats and Silver Repub.
licans fused, as above stated, although
Johnny Wolff of Boulder, Ralph Esteb's
pretty little boy, and Captain McGwire of
Longmont, who, between them repre-
sented eleven OF the sixteen votes of
their party, bolted the Silver Republican
convention and left the court house in
righteous Indignation.
Each party has committee OF four to
fill any vacancy that may arise and the
Patton people are still in hopes that tn, y
may be taken in out of the wet and have
some representation on the Democrat, :
Silver Republican ticket.

THOMAS J. MURPHY DIES
AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS.

Thomas ]. Murphy died yesterday
after a very short illness. The cause
of his death was pneumonia. He was
the son of NJ. II. Murphy and was one
OF the best known young men of this
city. He was born in April 1875 and
has lived in Laramie ever since. He
served several years very ably as as
sistant chief Of the fire department
and has been widely known as an en-
thusiastin all kinds Of athletic sports.
In the fire department, Of which he
was a member since he was a boy, his
influence was always left for the good
of the service. He was a member OF
the Laramie lodge of Elks.
The funeral will be held from the
Catholic church tomorrow morning
at 9 O'Clock. The fire department
will meet this evening to prepare to
pay the proper tribute to the dead
member.

Some interesting figures are gather
ed from the registration books of this
city, showing the increase in the pOpu-
lation of Laramie within the past two
years The registration board conclud-
ed its first five days sitting Saturday
night at 9 O'Clock and though the reg
istration the first two days was disap-
pointing the result in the end was very
satisfactory in every way. There will
be another sitting of the board for two
days later this month.
At the close of the five days session
of the board the total registration was
1902. The total registration two years
ago was 1885. With two days more of
registration to come the total for this
year is certain to be very much larger.
At the close of the first FIVE days of
registration two years ago the total
number of names was only 1918.
These figures indicate with tolerable
accuracy that the population of Lara.
ihit IdS l'ltdSt dDoul 20 per cent
within the last W. years. The scarci.
ty of houses and rooms for rent, the
crowded condition of the public
schools and other indications point to
the reliability of this estimate. Two
years ago when the registration of vot-
ers was made the influx of people on
account of the improvement work on
the railroad had practically just begun
and there are many persons here who
have since that time qualified them
selves by residence to vote at this
election.
The registration figures in Cheyenne
show that that city is about 30 per cent
in advance of Laramie in qualified vot-
ers and this figure may safely be TAX
en- as about the percentage that Chey-
enne is ahead of Laramie in popula-
ton.

BETTER
CONDITIONS ON THE WYOMING
DIVISION ARE VERY
NOTICEABLE.
Trains Are Running More Nearly on
Their Schedule Time-Coal Sit.
uation Has Been Much Improved
-RockSprings and Rawlins Yards
Are Nearly Clear.

The improvement in the operating
department of the Union Pacific is
now very noticeable in this division.
Persons who go frequently to the de-
pot cannot but have noticed the way
the trains are coming in now. No. 3
has for several days past been on
time or only a few minutes late. And
No. 4, which for a long time this fall
was lucky to get in at all, is now Civ
ing its schedule a pretty hard chase.
Other evidences of the lettering
conditions are many. The coal situa-
ton has greatly improved so that there
is little danger of any further distress
in Laramie. Two weeks ago there
were more than 700 cars of coal in
the Rock Springs yards which the
company was unable to move though
the cry for coal was going up all along
the line. The yards at Rawlins had
become so congested that Superintend.
ent Park found it necessary to spend
iloo hIo eIllllc lllue III I'd III Gil
deavoring to relieve the tension. Now
the situation there is much better and
there is likely to be little more trou,
BILE unless a severe winter gives oc.
casion for it.
One of the means by which this bet.
ter condition has been brought about
is the establishing of a system Of aux
iliary tanks between Rawlins and
Green River. Water is very scarce
there and often trains were delayed
for hours because of the lack of water.
Now whenever it is deemed necessary
an auxiliary tank is attached behind
the regular tank of the engine and
long runs without taking on more wa.
ter are made possible.
