FIGHTING WAY
TO SALT LAKE
Efforts of Postal Company to
Reach This City.
SUITS FOR RIGHT OF WAY
LAST IMPORTANT CASE AT
BUTTE THIS WEEK.
SUITS FOR RIGHT OF WAY
IF The Postal Telegraph company wins

TT the Postal Telegraph company wins
its suit next Saturday in Butte for
the right of way from the Idaho
line to Silver Bow, Mont, the gap
in the proposed line between Salt Lake
and Butte viii have been filled. and
tEis city viii, in a short time there
after, have direct communication with
both coasts by means of the Postal
lines. J. R. Mcintosh Of Richmond,
Va, the chief counsel for the COM
psny. arrived in this city yesterday,
ard, with Judge o. W. Powers, the
local attorney, will leave tonight for
Butte to look after the interests of the
company in the suit which is set for
hearing on Saturday. Colonel McIn-
tosh believes that the case will be set
tied in favor of his company without
much trouble. and he believes Salt
Lake will, in a very short time, have
Postal Geographic communications.
Western Union Fighting.
As is well known, the Western Union
has been cOntesting every inch
OF progress of the Postal company, but
the latter company has its Pacific coast
line complete, and has been making a
hard fight to get branch lines into
Utah. 1t has succeeded in getting the
right of way from this city to the
Idaho line, and a suit is now pending
for the right Of way from ogden to
Cheyenne, to connect with the main
line, thus bringing it through Utah
and then back to Montana.
This latter case viii come up in Og-
den on the 25th of this month. but in
the meantime every effort is being
made to get the direct line from Salt
Lake to Butte, to connect with the main
line there. The distance from the
Idaho line, to which place the COM
pany has the right Of way. to Silver
Bow is the only gap necessary to make
the line complete
of course" said Colonel Mcintosh
the Western Union company, in the
name of the railroads, is cOntesting
our right TO this right of way bitterly,
but in the light of the decisions which
we have already gotten in California
and other places, I believe we will get
a decision in our favor in this case. In
fact, 1 believe the case will be settled
within two or three days after the
suit is begun.

GOES TO BRING
STRANGE BACK
Sheriff NayIor Preparing to Go to
Colorado.
KINGS PROSPECT OF LIBERTY
CONDEMNED NAN BELIEVES He
WILL BE FREE THIS WEEK.

Ii arrangements for the extradi-
4 ton of John Strange, the Colo
RADIO prisoner, who is alleged to
have been implicated in the killing OF
! Colonel Prowse, are about completed
and Sheriff Naylor expects to leave to-
night or tomorrow morning for Canon
/ City. Colo, with requisition papers. He
! expects to bring back Strange and Au-
gust Miller, who is under arrest in Sa-
Ida. at the same time.
The TeqUisitiOn papers for both pris-
| Oners viii be signed this morning by
/ the governor and Sheriff NaylOr stated
yesterday that he would in all prOba-
bility leave tonight for Colorado.
I viii go directly to Denver" said
the sheriff. and present the papers to
the governor, and I expect to take time
to gather up what information l can
at that place before returning. There
is other information that we would
like to get and it is probable that I
may be able to secure it while there.
If the papers are honored, as I have no
doubt they will be- I Will 60 directly
to Canon City and get Strange, then
wire home and have a deputy meet me
Miller also"
Strange. it is said. will be arraigned
as soon as possible after he gets here,
and the witnesses in Colorado who
know or claim TO know of his implica-
ton in the crime will be brought here
to testify.
Means Release Of King.
The representatives. of the defense
fOr King feel that the bringing of
Strange here viii mean the release of
King within the next few days. IN
fact Attorney Wanless feels assured
that his client will be al liberty within
the present week. This assurance is
felt because the complaint against
ynch and iKng charges that they
were the murderers of Colonel Prowse,
and does not make provision for the
possible implication of others in the
same crime. Now that Lynch and
King have been convicted upon this
complaint, and a third man in the per
son of Strange has been accused of the
murder. the former action must be un-
done, its is stated, and that before
Strange is given a preliminary hearing
on the charge against him. This, ac-
cOrding to the acknowledgment of the
attorneys on both sides of the case,
means the release of King.
The latter is OverjOyed with the pros
pect of liberty after having spent
eighteen months in a prison cell with
apparently nothing but death before
him, and that death a penalty for
crime never committed by himself

system this rule will continue in
force. The work on the first four
locks on the lower end of the Monon-
gahela is hard. The men at the locks
on the upper end of the stream have
little to do.
The mammoth new towboat Peter
Sprague is nearly ready. Captain
Sprague says that in his opinion the
big steamer will be an unqualified
success. He says that he has never
entertained any thought but that she
will be success. The vessel has a
hollow shaft, and some have been pre-
dieting that her shaft is not strong
enough to support the wheel. Cap
tain Sprague said that he had heard
the same thing, but said that such
talk is foolish. The boat will first
run to New Orleans after a tow of
empties.

so you get all the big ones.
4" IN tell you why. All the steel
cars are the last put ON by any rail
road, and the numbers run usually
into five figures. The little short
gondolss run three and four figures,
and the man that gets them is playin'
four card hand against FIVE.
1T takes a quick eye to size up a
train, but you soon learn how, IL you
are wise on the graft. Cabooses al.
ways run big hands. They are al
ways numbered higher than the new
est car, and help a fellow out of big
hole sometimes.
Once down in West Philadelphia
1 doubled on the caboose and won out
with 1l,l1i. My pal knocked the
game, sayin' nobody could hold five
aces in straight game, but got the
money after we had settled the point
with ballast
Amy other game you can play
with a messy ? asked.
We'll, said Bigfoot, they're good
for craps, too, but the game is too
slow. Say you shoot the engine for
your point and get two. Your pal
wins u seven for the first figure on
a car comes before the two. II you
get two for the first figure, you take
the coin.
The trouble about messy craps is
that . whole train may pass before
you win or lose. have played three
trains before beer changed hands.
" OF course, it amt so bad when
you have nothing to do but loaf
around and wait, especially when you
don't have moro than beor Only
the cheap skates who have no big
money play messy craps. Messy
poker is the thing for quick action. I"

one who shot him, was to see him a
day or two ago, and the two are on
the best OF terms.
The elder Seay says that he does
not believe his son shot him, and il be
did it was an accident. They wer

BEAUTY WAS SOLD.
AND NOW THE NEW COW is
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
FAILING.

A good COW story is told on well
known business man of the city. He
had fine COW named Beauty" that
he had owned for several years. She
was kept in the stable with the We
hicles he uses in his business, and the
men at the stable, who did not like to
have the COW about. decided that they
might as well put her to some use so
long as they had to be bothered with
her, so they began milking her regu-
larly, and kept the milk in bottles sus-
pended in a cistern nearby to keep
cool.
The owner of the COW saw with
growing alarm that Beauty" was
failing, and finally, few days ago,
deciding that her days of usefulness
were over, sod her.
The men ut the stable di' not an
ticipate suoh An outcome, tut were
somewhat relieved when a new COW
was purchased IN place of Beauty"
The last chapter has not yet been
written, but this much ID certain.
The new c2w has ls.ady begun to
fail.
