The city council at a special meeting
Friday evening instructed City Attorney
Geo. M. Price to take legal steps oppos-
ing the action of the townsite company
pending before the district court asking
authority to vacate certain lots within
the corporate limits of the City of Lang
don. The matter comes up for hearing
before Judge Kneeshaw when he holds
court here next week. 1t is understood
that the towns of Milton and Osnabrock
are taking similar action.
Langdon never had the reputation of
being a dirty town-in fact it has always
had the name of being a city of
beautiful homes, with streets shaded
with trees that made the entire residence
section one beauty spot. The women of
Langdon, however, have seized the
opportunity of organizing a civic i'm
provement league with the idea of still
further improving these conditions. and
their effort to clean up and beautify
should receive the cooperation of every
property owner and citizen.
Those of Langdon and vicinity who
know Williston's ex-mayor, Joe Wegley,
will no doubt be interested in learning
that he has started a contest of the late
municipal election at that place, alleging
that the election of his opponent was
secured through means of the bribery of
the voters. The municipal upheaval at
Williston is rendered still more sen
sational since the outsting of the old
gang by the discovery being made that
the records of the city's auditor and
treasurer have been mutilated and
otherwise tempered with.
The raising of a fund of $4,000 during
the past week or ten days practically
assures the building of a new church

church it is estimated will cost almost
double that amount, but with half the
money subscribed before any definite
steps are taken the pastor. Rev. Ben
jamin, and the board of trustees fee

is to be of either brick veneer or concrete

CHARGED WITH BE.
ing FUCITIVES

Acting upon telegraphIc advices from
Tuolumne county, California, Officer
Westrope yesterday arrested Mr.. and
Mrs. Hodgens, who were travelling
through the country horseback, with
two saddle horses, one pack animal and
an outfit.
Upon being taken to the Sheriff IS Of
fee, after hearing their version of the
affair, Deputy Sheriff Muller let them
go on their own recognizance, awaiting
the arrival of the California officers.
Attorney II. Warren was retained by
the couple to look after their interests.
When seen at the Winnemucca hotel
today by representative of the Sill
yer State News, and asked what he had
to say regarding the arrest, Mr.. Hodg-
ems said
tAt the present time | am unable to
state what the trouble is about. Mrs.
Hodgens and myself left Tuolumne
county on the sth of June to look for a
new location. For the past three or
four years we have been working a
l60-acre ranch. in which we owned an
undivided one-half interest, the other
half being owned by the Eaton estate.
We understand that the charge against
us is horse-stealing, but the three ami
mails we have with us have been in
our possession for some time, belonging
to the ranch.'

PROGRESS OF ". P.
CONSTRUCTION

Superintendent Charles Harlowe, of
the Humboldt division of the Western
Pacific, returned yesterday from in
specting the company's line between
Winnemucea and Valmy.
To the east the line is completed
from Salt Lake City to mile post 576
opposite Valmy. This leaves gap
of 40 miles between the end of the line
and the material yard, which win be
finished about September /. To the
west the track is laid for distance
of about 60 miles, which leaves "a
miles to be constructed to the Califor,
MIA line. In California there are sew
eral sections of track to be laid as
well as bridges to be built. While
the length of time required for tn,
tracklaying can be estimated verv
closely, the bridgework is not so GER
tain. 1t is thought, however, that
trains will be running by Thanksgiv-
ing day.

The train consisted of Is empty cars.

a tank car. When it reached a point
IA miles east of town a depression in

engine tender to leave the rails. En-
gineer E. +. Blake, who at the time
was on the tank car, was thrown to the
ground, being struck on the left should
er and side by heavy timber and
quite seriously hurt.
As soon as possible the injured man

ternoon taken to his home in Salt Lake

WESTON LATE and
STILL LOSING

E. P. Weston, the noted pedestrian,
passed through Winnemucca at 30
Thursday morning, being nearly three
days behind his schedule time. II
would seem that the veteran traveller,
who has never known defeat, has final
ly been conquered by the elements. For
the past week his progress has been
slow, no doubt owing to the excessive
heat.
When he left here he had but eiQh.
days in which to reach San Francisco,
which would require daily average Of
so miles. AS it took him 31a hours to
cover the Is miles from Golconda to
Winnemucca, or an average of only
trifie more than four miles an hour,
he will be obliged to walk 13 hours
day to reach San Francisco ON time.
For the balance of his journey Wes-
ton will find condition rather worse
than better. After leaving Reno he
will commence the long ascent of the
Sierra Nevadas, passing which he will
enter the Sacramento valley, which,
with the possible exception Of Yuma
and hades, is the hottest place known.
However, although he should be
few days late, Weston will have mada
wonderful record, and it is doubtful
if it could be duplicated by any man or
horse living.
