Lander viii Fight for Asrleuitu--! Lo-
cation.

cation.
Trustees will carry the Agricultural
college case. which was decided
against them In the State Supreme
Court February LIST. to the United
States Supreme Court. The board
claims that there are three distinct
federal questions open to review by
the federal court. The case will be
appealed on q writ Of error.
The board at Lander contends that
the act OF tho Wyoming Legislature.
In which the college law was repealed.
impairs the obligation OF contract and
Is In violation Of vested property
righ,s. and IL for these reasons In vio.
lation OF the constitution OF the United
States.
That the Hatch and Morrill, laws.
providing for the giving OF federal
funds for the support OF an agricul-
tural college. contain an express pro-
vision that said funds are to be paid
bnly to an institution whose, leading
object shall be instruction In Nagricul-
ture and the mechanic arts. They
contend that the Wyoming University
Is not and never has been such an in
stitution. and that the payment OF fed
eral funds to II is contrary to the pro-
visions Of said act Of Congress.
That In the act OF wyomins's admis-
sion into the Union compact was
made between the state and the
United States In which the govern.
ment gave and the state accepted 3d.
900 acres OF land for tho support and
maintenance OF an agricultural college.
and that having done 80 tho act OF the
Legislature In repeating the law and
attempting to destroy the institution
Is In violation of said compact be-
tween the state and the United States.
Az soon ns the last Legislature
passed the act repeating the college
law funds were raised by private sub.
scription to carry tho case through tho
United States court II necessary.
The Wyoming Agricultural College
was located at Lander In 1899 by n
vote OF the people nj regular election
but no appropriation was ever made
by the State Legislature for tho pur-
chase of grounds and erection Of build.

Legislature tho federal funds have
gone to the State University Mt Larn.
