Preliminary Survey is Being
Made to Connect Guernsey
and Cheyenne Roads.

Burlington surveyors are now in the
field between the Guernsey and Chey-
enne lines of the system south of Tor
ington, Wyo. A preliminary survey is
being made to connect the two lines of
road, probably west of the Nebraska
state line. Just where the Cheyenne
road will be tapped will not be known
until after the surveys are completed.
The surveyors started out Of Toring-
ton few days ago and are now work
ing south. Several ranges Of hills will
be encountered in This survey and the
Typographical situation will influence
the location of the junction ponton the
Cheyenne line. Until after the prelim-
inarics are run officials of the company
have no positive plans.
Some time ago IT was reported that
considerable amount Of line improve
ment work was being done ON the Hol-
drege- Cheyenne line of the road. The
report that this survey is now being
made adds strength to the theory adj
vanccd some time ago that 1t will be
some time before the proposed Platte
river line of the road will be built. The
"high line" west Of Holdrege will be
used instead until business gets no heavy
that lower grade road is necessary.
This will furnish the line TINT is needed
to connect the proposed Burlington
route through central Wyoming via
Guernsey, Grin Junction. Shoshoni and
Thermopolis To Billings.
A low grade but little greater In dis
tance than the proposed Platte river
line can be arranged also by building
from Imperial to Holyoke. Colo. and
using the Lincoln Denver main line to
Culbertson. Then with the connecting
link between Torington and the Chcy-
cnne line and the use Of the Colorado &
Southern Wyoming line, low grade
route northwest through central Wyo-
ming will be secured. State Journal.

LIVED ON CHARITY
WITH CASH IN BANK
Lucky Pete' Finigan, Gambler
on Stock Market, Dies in
the AlmSnOuSe

Indebted to the almshouse in his
official capacity is the strange predica-
ment in which Public Administrator NJ.
j. Hynes finds himself because of the
avarice of Peter Finigan, an inmate of
the institution, who died Saturday with
6.049.4S in the Hibernia savings bank.
Caught in the grasp Of the stock gam
bling fever for many years the dead
man was unwilling to pay for re-
spectacle home, but played the mar
ket' as he did in the days of the forty
miners and lived on the charity of the
public.
Known to his old associates as
Lucky Pete Finigan was buried in
Holy Cross cemetery Sunday, and his
affairs were placed in the hands of the
public administrator. Investigation
disclosed the fact that the dead man
carried on almost daily stock manipu-
lations in large sums. yet lived at the
charitable institution. where he pre-
tended to be a psuper.
Public Administrator Hynes was
examined Finigans effects. He found
the bank book, balanced up to date and
showing s6,049.4S to Finigans credit,
whereupon he notified Superintendent
Wallenberg of the institution that the
county had been imposed upon and that
Finigan had been well able to pay for
his room and board. Wallenberg in
formed Hynes that he would claim
from the estate SIS month for the
time that Finigan was at the institu-
tion. A review of the records showed
that Finigan had been enjoying the
charity of San Francisco for more than
three years, while he was gambling in
stocks with varying success.
Among Finigans effects was also
found a statement from Charles E.
Paxton. stock broker, who for num-
Der of years handled the transactions
of the dead man in the Bush street
exchange
II knew little about the man." Pax
ton said to the administrator yester-
day. He was one of what we called
the 'Ol0 lIuafQ. NE tIdOto a STedl
deal, in fact he was an inveterate
stock gambler At one time he was
worth more than $4,000, but dealt in
margins and shorts with i'll success
until his balance was reduced TO the
Sc 600 which was left at the time of his
death. He closed his account with me
some months ago, ! believe. but he
frequently called at the office"
Finigan died without heirs so far
as has been learned. He gave his age
as 65 years, and has had only one COM
panion during the years he was at
the almshouse. This intimate was ].
H. Davis, to whom he confided the fact
that he was in California in the early
days, but never made any statement
in regard to his money.
Wallenberg intends to press the
claim of the almshouse against the
estate for $40 and the residue will
revert to the state unless heirs appear
to claim IL
