FINAL DECREE
IS ENTERED IN
U. P. TROUBLE
Judge Lewis Denies Application for
Injunction Made by Road and
Allows City OF Greeley To
Place improvements

Final decree was entered by Judge
Lewis sitting in the United States
district court in Denver yesterday
in favor of the City of Greeley and
various railroads running into this
city and against the claimed 400
foot right of way claimed by the
Union Pacific railroad and the case
will now go to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, which
meets in st. Louis at the next term.
Before the decree had been en-
tered, the question came up as to
the rights of the city of Greeley on
the 100-foot right of way which
has been admitted all along belonged
to the Union Pacific. 1t was stated
that the city OF Greeley had gone
ahead and placed water mains and
sewers beneath the tracks of the
railroad without having first gained
permission of the company and it
was question whether or not the
railroad company could force the
city to take up the mains.
Judge Lewis settled the matter
finally by entering in the decree
phrases which keeps the railroad
from preventing in any way the
City of Greeley from going ahead
and building sewers and water
mains under the Union Pacific tracks
The decree moreover gave the City
of Greeley the right to operate such
sewers as have been built and such
water mains. In fact, the decree
was complete victory for the City
of Greeley and the various rail-
roads against the Union Pacific.
Immediately following the sign
ing of the decree. Attorney c. c.
Dorsey was present to file an ap-
peal bond for the Union Pacific and
the attorneys interested in the case
must appear in the Circuit Court
at St. Louis before 60 days from
yesterday II is not thought that
the case will come up before the
higher court before the first of Feb
ruary OF next year
The injunction asked for by the
Union Pacific was denied in every
particular.
The attorneys who appeared in
the case were, for the Union "a
cific. c. c. Dorsey: for the Greeley
Terminal and the Denver. Laramie
4 Northwestern road, A. ID. Quain-
tance and Judge Helm of Denver;
for the City of Greeley, Joseph c.
Ewing; for the Burlington. Henry
McAllister; for Greeley and Den
yer Railroad company, Frank j,
Green and for the Colorado & South
ern line, 4. f. Whitted.

figure of this kind, while in Denver,
for instance. where the proportion is
probably AS great. 1t is practically
impossible to reach an estimate.
And the most remarkable fact to
be found in arriving at such an es-

YOUNG CROOKS

Juvenile crime is growing greatly
in Weld county.
Within the past six months there
have been twenty-six boys under the
age of 81 years who have been ar
rested for offenses of q serious ma
ture and of these many are now
serving time in the penitentiary or
the state reformatory.
Greeley, like other parts of the
country, is seeing more of young OIL
tenders than old and the crook here
is passing into the has been class

Colorado Springs. Sept, 21.-Af-
ter wrecking the public utilities ma
chine of Denver today, the republi-
can state convention nominated
State Senator J. b. Stephen of FL
Paso county. for governor: James E.
Garrigues of Greeley for justice of
the supreme court. and Isaac N.
Stevens of Pueblo for congressman
at-large. on a compromise platform
that does not indorse the initiative
and referendum. or any of the typi-
cally progressive reforms.
The national administration was
eulogized and Senator Simon Gug-
genheim was the recipient of n few
kind words.
/ Corporation gold was poured out
vainly in an attempt to make A. NJ.
Stevenson absolute cZar with power
to dictate the platform and name the
ticket from top to bottom. In the
hattie on the floor of the convention
the insurgents missed the magnifi-
cent opportunity to control the party
and to place in the platform an un-
qualified Endorsement of the initia-
tive and referendum.
The victory over Stevenson and
his cohorts was completed. The
Young Turks, who surrendered to
him almost everything he wanted
during the first day of the conven-
tion turned on him today and strip
ped him of all power. This was ac-
complished after the young republi-
cans had unearthed specific cases of
bribery and had proved that the cor
poration bosses were paving the ex-
penses of delegates.
BY vote of 59S to 312 the con-
vention voted to substitute for the
corporation plank on the initiative
and referendum provision embod-
led in a minority report signed by
r. II. Devine of Pueblo and seven
teen other members of the resolu-
tfons committee. The insurgents,
led by |. n. Stevens and Merle Vim
cent. had proclaimed their intention
to file minority report with an out
and-out Endorsement of the initia-
tive and referendum.
