Heap Goes Clear.

Judge Cough and John Baglev were
over at Evanston Tuesday attending
court, being interested in the Heaps
case, the former for Heap and the latter
for the state. The court dismissed the
suit for want of jurisdiction. and at
last accounts efforts we're being made
to get the governor of Wyoming to
recognize requisition papers necessary
to take Mr.. Heap to Nebraska for trial
The attorneys for the defendant will
oppose this move strongly, claiming that
the only reason why the prosecuting
witnesses want to get him into Nebraska
is to enable them to collect debt The
whole affair grows out of cattle deal
between Heap and some parties in
Omaha.
