RAILROAD FIGHT AT CHEYENNE
Rum0rs Are Burlington VIII Run
Cars over street Railway
Tracks.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July N.-(Special)-
There are many rumors here regarding
the ultimate use to which the Cheyenne
street railway is to be put. 1t Is certain
that a line of electric cars Is to be
operated between Cheyenne and Fort Rus
sell. touching at old and new Frontier
parks, and It is also known that a three
cornered fight is on between the Union
Pacific, Colorado & Southern and the Bur
lington roads over a connection with the
electric line, which has been built broad
gauge and of railroad iron and material
throughout.
For many years the Burlington railroad
has watched the Union Pacific and the
Colorado & Southern roads handle exclu-
svely all OF the business at Fort d. A.
Russell and this has been something enor-
nous in tonnage. The two roads have been
able to haul soldiers supplies and building
material and what little business the Bur-
lington has handled, has been at heavy
expense to them, for the cars were hauled
over the tracks of the Union Pacific and
Colorado & Southern roads.
Now comes the report that the Burling-
ton is dickering for an alliance with the
Cheyenne Electric Street Car company,
whereby the latter will connect with the
Burlington main line at the foot of Cap
itol avenue and haul freight cars over the
electric road through the city to Fort
Russell.
Another disturbing rumor is to the ef-
feet that the Colorado & Southern will con-
meet with the street car line in old From
tier park, and run passenger trains from
the Union depot over its line to old From
tier park. thence over the electric to new
Frontier park during Frontier days. And
II this arrangement is made, in all prob
ability the Union Pacific will ask for per-
mission to run gasoline motor cars OF
steam trains over the electric line from a
connection Herewith at the foot of Fer
guson street and Fifteenth.

BOY SHOT NEAR ISLAND QUEEN
Second shooting Adds Mystery TO In
cident of Taft Boat.

CINCINNATI, July SO.-Chares Hawks,
l6 years old, was shot by an unknown per-
son late yesterday as the steamer Island
Queen was going up the river near the
same place whence the shots were fired
that struck Mrs Russell while on the
steamer on Taft notification night. Hawks,
with a number of other boys, was SWIM
ming at the foot of Whitaker street when
the Island Queen passed. Suddenly the
youth sank below the surface OF the water
HIS associates who had seen him 90 under
hurried to his assistance and carried him to

ber of small birdshot wcra imbedded in his
face. He was hurried TO the city hospital,
where some Of the shot were removed.
The police investigated, but could not find

sible man along the river is doing the
shooting. They are making efforts to solve
10th mysteries.

with the circuit court of appeals in Chi
