preme court shall pass upon the de-

move of the Union Pacific, after
having been beaten twice in the
lower courts, is to ask for a stay of
execution in the case for 80 days in
order to allow time for the company
to appeal to the supreme court of
the United states.
1t was believed that when the
United States circuit court at st.
Louis sustained the decision of the
federal court in Denver that the
Union Pacific company would drop
the case. This decision allowed the
railroad company a 100 foot right
of way instead of the 400 feet claim

The case was started several
years ago in Greeley when the claim
was advanced. the railroad company
contending that it's original charter
from the government entitled 1t to
the domain claimed. Property in
Greeley valued at several hundred
thousand dollars was involved in
the contention. When the matter
was taken to the courts the city OF

company to supply poles, build the

accepted by the city.
The Social Science Circle, by reso-

county for $500 each for the Initial
work in establishing a day nursery,
the funds for maintenance, ETC., to
be raised by tag days" during the
year. The city will donate it's $500
and it is expected that like
