PROSPECTS FOR SUCCESS.

The latest move to compel the
franchise thieves in Denver to give
up their loot, is an action begun
in the federal court by one Ernest
M. Pease. This, thank the Lord,
is begun where it cannot be stopped
by our Supreme court. MIR. Pease,
being a nonresident property
owner, probably has rights before
a federal court that a local man
would not possess. 1, may be
reasonably presumed that the
whole business will now be brought
into the lime light and justice be
done the city of Denver.
The corporation organs give
Senator Patterson credit with
cooking up the litigation in the
federal court, and if they are cor
rect it shows that Tom is not only
a good fighter, but very sincere IN
his desire to keep the gang from
stealing the city. Patterson is
sure the boss trouble maker for
the robbers and the best watch
dog the state has ever secured.
May he live long and continue
in the good work.
