Cheyenne Named Trail City.

Aberdeen. The name Of Cheyenne
Junction, one of the new towns in
Dewey county, has been changed to
Trail City. The change of name was
made by the rostoffice department be-
cause Of the confusion resulting from
the three p~ostoffices in the state called
respectively Cheyenne Junction, Chey-
enne Agency and Cheyenne Falls. The
department decreed that Cheyenne
Junction must change its name, and a
resident OF the town taking into con
sideration the fact that in aboriginal
days the Indian trails con
verged at Cheyenne Junction, and la.
ter, when the catlemen invaded the
country, in times Of drought the cat.
tie trails also converged in the vi,
cinity of where the town was after
ward built, because of the better grass
and better water. The lame was
deemed appropriate by both the de
partment and the residents of the
town, and the change was accordingly
made. The Cheyenne Junction Rec.
ord has announced 1t will change its
name with the next issue to the Trail
City Record, but acknowledged that q
liking for ALTERATION nearly caused IL
to change to the Trail City Tribune.
