In It's suit against the Union Pacific
Railroad Company
The opinion was written by Judge
w. II. Munger and was concurred In
by Judges Henry T. Reed and w. II.
Sanborn with slight exceptions.
The suit was to clear the title 10
the roads alleged right OF way from
Denver to Cheyenne and to procure in.
functions prohibiting Interference
with the right OF way. which, by IN
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 II 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 n right
to lay streets across the right OF way.
The decision means the saving OF

out on the lounge with his head and
shoulders bolstered up with furs, he
continued to smoke and think. he
was surprised when little clock tin
kled the hour Of eleven. He had not
seen the clock before. He was almost
asleep when 1t struck again - softly
and yet with sufficient loudness to
arouse him. It had struck twelve.
With an effort Rowland overcame
his drowsiness and dragged himself to
a sitting posture, knowing that he
should undress and 60 to bed. The
lamp was still burning brightly, and
he arose to turn down the wick. Sud
denly he stopped. To his dulled senses
there came distinctly the sound Of a
knock at the door. For few mo-
ments he waited, silent and motionless.
1t came again, louder than before.
Who could be his midnight visitor?
Softly Howland went back to his
heavy coat and slipped his small re-
volver into his hip pocket. The knock
came again. Then he walked to the
door, shot back the bolt and, with his
right hand gripping the butt Of his pis-
tol, flung 1t wide open.
For a moment he stood transflxed,
staring speechlessly at white, star
tied face lighted up by the glow OF the
oil lamp. Bewildered to the point Of
numbness, he backed slowly, holding
the door open, and there entered the
one person in all the world whom he
wished most to see-she who had be.
come 80 strangely a part Of his life
since that first night at Prince Albert
and whose sweet face was holding a
deeper meaning for him with every
hour that he lived. He closed the door
and turned, still without speaking;
and, impelled by n sudden spirit that
sent the blood thrilling through his
veins, he held out both hands to the
girl for whom he now knew that he
was willing to face all the perils that
might await him between civilization
and the bay.

and then fell gently on the bowed
head.
