JUDGE sRAMEL TODAY.
He Sustained the PLAINTIFFS Demurrer
to Defendants Answer and Gave
Judgment for Steinhoff-case Will
be Taken to Supreme Court on
Evidence Submitted on the Demur-
rer.

Judge c. w. Bramel of the district
court at 10 o'clock this morning rem
dered final judgment in the case of
Philip A. Steinhof against the Lara
mic National bank, in favor of the
plaintiff.
Mr.. Corthell. attorney for the bank,
elected to stand on its defense to the
suit and accepted the final judgment.
The case will go to the supreme court
on that evidence.
Readers of The Republican are ia,
miliar with the merits Of the case and
have watched with interest its pro,
gress through the courts. It was first
decided in the Albany county district
court when Judge Blake was on the
bench. He called Judge Knight, now
a member of the supreme court of the
state, who decided in favor of the
bank.
Judge Bramel, in his decision today,
ruled that the court at that time had
no jurisdiction, and that much new
matter had gotten into the case.
The government several years ago
gave to n Dean a certificate Of pur.
chase of the land in question, but later
gave another certificate to Steinhoff
and with It a patent to the land. The

President Isaac Van Horn of the
Laramie, Hahn's Peak and Pacific left
on the moo train today for Omaha,
where he will join his wife, who is
visiting the family of her uncle, Nels
Callahan, and wifi accompany her to
their home at Boston. Mass.
Mr.. Van Horn, before boarding the
train, asked The Republican to express
to the people of Laramie the thanks of
himself and his associates for their
moral support in the undertaking in
which the company is engaged, and to
assure them, for him, of his apprecia.
ton of it.
Mr.. Van Horn stated that the con,
duct of the people toward the project
was having much to do in pushing the
road to completion and the company
to a realization of its hopes in the
matter. Their kindness had been
shown in marked degree and had no
been lost. The interests of the people
of the city and county and those of the
company of which he is the head are
identical, and he cannot but feel that
to the one as well as to the other will
come the benefits to be derived from
the consummation of the end to which
they were striving.
He assured the reporter that the
road would be pushed to completion
and that nothing would be neglected
to bring this about at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Mr.. Van Horn showed the sentiment
he felt toward the people and promis
ed to long remember the many acts OF
kindness and the marked moral sup
port extended by word and deed from
the people. He left the city with per.
sonal regret, but inspired with the
hope that he might soon again return
and be present when the seeds the
company had planted would begin to
bear fruit.
