Greeley wins Big Victory.

st. Louis.-InN the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals the city of
Greeley won an important victory,
when an opinion was handed down af.
firming the decision of the lower court
in its suit against the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
The opinion was written by Judge
W. Fl. Munger and was concurred in
by Judges Henry T. Reed and w. H.
Sanborn with slight exceptions.
The suit was to clear the title to
the roads alleged right OF way from
Denver to Cheyenne and to procure in
functions prohibiting interference
with the right of way, which, by an
act of Congress. the railroad claimed
to be 400 feet.
Judge Munger concluded that the
property in question was for public
and not for private use, and that the
part of it that Greeley wishes to use
Is not required for an alleged right
of way and is not necessary for the
road to discharge its duties to the
public.
He considers the road is fully barred
from claiming it is entitled to posses
sion of the entire 400 feet of the right
of way and that the decree of the low
er court was right.
Judge Reed said the city has right
to lay streets across the right of way,
The decision means the saving OF
s50O,000 to Greeley, as there are many

houses on the extra 800 feet claimed

John knew that a doubie-action re-
Yolvers would make things lively and
would put fear and trembling in those
that happened to be there. He carried
his trusty in his pocket; and when he
got to the boarding house, he began
to shoot through the ceiling. Then
he stopped shooting with a rising
sight and the bullets went down
through the floor. +
