IT GETS NO
NEW TRIAL
RAILROAD COMPANY AGAIN DE-
FEATED IN THE WILLIAM
GOODE NATTER.
Motion Argued Before Judge Craig at
Rawlins and Promptly Overruled,
and Laramie Attorney Notified of
the Fact-Costs Will Amount to
Something Like $685..

Hon. c. L. Arnold this morning re-
ceived the following letter from Mr..
Charles E. B%lydenDurgh of Itawlins,
co-Counsel Tor the plaintiff in the case
oil William Goode against the Union
Pacific railroad company, tried at
Rawlins on a charge of venue from
this county, and which resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiff. The attorney
.or the company, Mr.. Merrell, made a
motion for a new trial, which, as will
be seen by the letter from Mr.. Blyden-
Durgh, was argued yesterday. The let
ter is of interest and is printed in full:
"Rawlins, Wyo, April 10, 1905.
Hon. C. p. Arnold, Laramie, Wyo.
Dear Strive argued the motion
for a new trial today. Merrill !nsited
~strenuously that the verdict was too
large, and tried to make the court be-
lieve that the evidence only showed a
damage of So an acre, and that h on
ly evidence as to acreage was the sur
veyor's plat, which showed 1873 acres.
OF course, | showed the court in reply
that there was evidence running up to
SIS an acre damage and that there was
other evidence as to the acreage at the
time of the fire that in some respects
was much better than the surveyors
plat. l then started to refer to the in
structions and the court interrupted me
at once saying that there was no ex-
ceptions taken to any of the instruc-
tions, and | need not allude to it.
The court promptly overruled the
motion for a new trial, and stated that
the great preponderance of the evil
dence was on the side of the Plaintiff,
and that he could see no reason for
setting aside the verdict. Merrill then
asked until the first day of the next
term of court within which to file his
bill of exceptions, which was given,
and the court set the amount of the
stay bond at $1,000.
Il enclose a copy of the journal en-
try, which contains the judgment
which l have just drawn. The a
amount of the costs are not included,
but the total costs as figured by the
clerk OF the court before today's pro-
ceedings were $635.15, so that | pre-
sumo hat the costs will be about
$655. If they file any bond | will let
you know. l am,

Colonel E. J. Bell is il the city today,

Their forward move in the way of agri-
culture on the Millbrook ranch. He is
now sowing 100 acrs of oats, 800 acres

the drills temporarily.
when left home yesterday" he
said, there was less snow there than
in the city, but the Lord only knows
the condition of things there this
morning. You know, | am not joking
with the Lord nowadays. If you have
any influence with the Divine Head OF
the universe, please exert it until we
get our seed in. l shall not monkey
with providence.
"On the 3D. of last February l made
the hippant remark at a meeting at the
university that now that We of the Lar
annie plains had taken up agriculture
there would be plenty of moisture, and
III be ding busted if it hasn't showed
almost every day since.
Say, eve hear of the Georgia negro
who thought to play jokes on Jesus?
You ought to hear it. Fits our case
like the skin Of a boiled potato.
= The old negro, like many others Of
his race, was a sort of a preacher. He
preached n afternoon to a large con-
gregation, expecting to bring many Of
them to the mourner's bench. His SER
mon was long and eloquent, and at its
close he asked all those who were pre-
pared to meet their God to stand up
and be counted. Not a soul arose.
Then Uncle Hesekiah went after them.
He told that crowd of darkeys that not
one of them was ready, and if the
angel Gabriel should blow his horn he
would catch every niger in the
bunch He said he expected Gabriel
to blow his trumpet and would like to
see what would happen.
Some boys in the loft had an old
conch shell, and when Brother Hese-
kiah started hi sharangue about
Gabriel and his trumpet they turned
the shell loose. Ever hear a conch
shell? Well, it's the darndest wind in
strument ever invented. 1t sounds
liyke the sounds from the realms of the
lost. The boys gave one prolonged
loot and things began to hum in that
meetin' house. The niggers took to
the door and the windows. They took
the sash and the door and lit out.
Uncle Hesekiah, prepared as he IA
to meet Jesus, didn't wan to go just
then, and SO he started after his con
gregation. His coat tails stuck out be.
hind like the apron of a reaping ma
chine, and caught on a nail by the
door. The parson was held fast. Pull
as he might, he could not get loose.
The old fellow went to his knees with
a cry of despair. oh, Lawd, oh, Jesus,
I'm a misuble sinner; I'm de wust of
de bunch. Oh, Lawd, femme go DIES

source of lumber for home use and for
the maintenance of important indus
tries. The timber is good, the forests
are easily logged, and industries other
than farming and grazing are needed
for rounded development of the region.
Without these forests the railroads also
would be forced to haul their construc-
ton supplies long distances. Most Of
the land in the forested area is too high
to be irrigated but if the tree growth
is fostered the land which it occupies
may become an important factor in the
conservation of water for the develop
ment of agriculture in adjacent regions.
The rainfall in this section is largely
the product of brief, heavy thunder
storms, or it comes as snow during the
winter. Gentle, continuous rains are
rare. This condition emphasizes the
need for forest cover on all the slopes,
