1T IS ILLEGAL.
A Supreme Court Decision Closes
the Doors of the Arlington
DispenSary.

The supreme court has handed down
its decision in the Arlington dispen-
sary case, with the facts of which read
ers of The News are already informed,
and the doors of the institution will
now have to be closed. The court
says:
"a municipal corporation which has
under tits charter exclusive power to
control and direct the sale of liquors
within its limits has no authority, un-
der such provision, to organize a
dispensary by appointing commission
ers and authorizing them to sell liquor
under certain terms and conditions
prescribed in the ordinance. This Is
especially true when the people of the
county wherein the dispensary is lecat-
ed had, prior to its organization, adopt
ed the local option law, which forbids
the sale of liquors in that county.
"The illegal sale of intoxicating hq>
uors is public nuisance affecting the
whole community in which the sale is
carried on, and may be abated by pro-
cess instituted in the name of the
state"
This decision will have the effect OF
also closing the dispensaries at Leary
and Pelham, both of which are located
in counties that are dry under the To-
cal opt.0n law.

RANGE WAR THREATENED BY
THE SHEEPMEN IN WYOMING

Denver. April 20.-A Republican spe-
cial from Cheyenne. Wyo.. last night
says: The sheepmen of the Sweetwater
country have declared open war upon the
cattlemen, and clash is imminent
unless steps are at once taken to get
the warning factions together on the
proposition of a satisfactory division oil
the ranges of that section.
A private letter from Lander states
that the militia there may be called
out to prevent general fight and much
bloOdshed.
Sherif Charles Slough of Lander has
gone to the range country to investi-
gate the situation and If he hnds the
condition of affairs as alarming as has
been reported. he will Immediately
make formal request of Governor
Richards for at least one company OF
the state militia to patrol the ranges.
For several years the cattlemen nave
been making war upon the encroach-
ments of sheep in the Sweetwater coun-
try. They claim they settled there
FIRST and are entitled to the range for
their small herds; that the sheep are
rapidly destroying the feeding grounds
and that agreements have been made
with fockmasters. for certain

Fort Logan Military Maneuvers.

Denver, April 1s.-Military maneu-
vers on the plan of the great mobili-
zation at Fort Riley last summer will
be conducted at Fort Logan for ten
days next August. Regular and state
troops will participate and some of
the leading men of the army probably
will be on hand. The exact dates for
the mobilization have not yet been
agreed upon.
The commanding officer of the De-
partment of the Colorado and Adjt.
Gen. Sherman Bell of the Colorado Ma
tional Guard will have charge of the
arrangements.
1t is the plan to have all of the
members of the National Guard in the
camp. The regular troops at Fort Lo-
gan will also be n part of the mobil-
ized force and it is probable that the
government will order number of
other companies to the post from 9TH
er western forts. This will place sew
eral thousand men in the great prac-
tice camp.

SENATOR PATTERSON ATTACKS
GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL

lation to the state veterinary. The
signed bill provides for a salary OF 5000
for each of the coming two years.
while the conference committee agreed
only to pay him single sum of $500
for shortage of salary.
Provision is made in the signed bill
for $500 for expenses of coal mine in
spection examiners, but the conference
memorandum did not contain any such
item.
The sum of 5000 year is provided in
the signed bill for the travelling ex-
penses of the game commissioner.
while the Senate memorandum shows
that the amount agreed to was $500
year.
An appropriation of S3.750 year or
$500 in all is provided in the signed
bill for the State Fair at Pueblo. This
was stricken out of the bill in the con-
ference for the reason that 1t was ap-
propriated in separate bill duly
passed and signed by the governor. AS
matters stand the sum of $3.750 a year
for the fair has been appropriated
twice. once in a separate bill and again
by insertion in this illegal bill.
AS to the Grand county fish hatchery,
an appropriation was made by a spe-
cial bill for establishing the hatchery,
which has been vetoed by the gov
ernor. The illegal appropriation bill
carries an appropriation of 5000 year
for the maintenance of this hatchery,
but now that the other bill was vetoed
this money will remain in the treasury.
The suit to test the validity of the
bill will be brought by the News-Times
company without delay, and it will be
pressed to a hearing as fast as ths
courts will permit.

Denver, April 1.-THE News, which
is Senator Patterson's paper, this
morning says:
Formal notice was served upon
State Auditor John A. Holmberg and
State Treasurer Whitney Newton yes
terday morning to refuse to draw any
warrants or to honor any such war
rants drawn under the illegal general
appropriation bill signed by Governor
Peabody. The notices were served by
Attorney Horace N. Hawkins. and they
constituted the first step in the suit
which the News and the Times will
bring to contest the validity OF the
fake appropriation bill.
The grave danger incurred when
bills are signed in blank by the presid-
ing officers of the two houses of the
Legislature and afterwards filled in is
revealed by an examination OF the
measure as 1t has received the sigma
ture of the governor.
In several instances the amounts are
not the same as were agreed to in the
conference between the committee OF
the House and Senate.
The signed bill provides for two
clerks and stenographers at $1,000
year each in the office of the secretary
of state. making a total expense for
the biennial period of $4,000. The con-
ference agreement was for but one
such employe at salary of $4,000 for
the two years.
Although the conference committee
agreed that no stenographer should be
paid more than $1,000 year, the bill
shows that the stenographer in the Of
flee of the state auditor is given 81 200
a year.
Another discrepancy is shown in re-
