not feel cheerful that afternoon. The
tired feeling he had spoken Of SO light
ly was worse than he had described II,
and he was Respondent, for no particu-
lar reason. That hight he slept miser,
ably and awoke with a chill to find q
cold, pouring rain beating against the
windows Of the shanty.
He lay down on his bed and tried to
sleep, but though he dozed bit, woke
always with a start and either q chill
or fever f1t. His head began to ache
violently. And then, in the lonesome
ness and misery, fear began to take
hold of him.
Night came The rain had ceased
and stars were shining clear. Inside
the shanty the minister tossed on the
bed, or staggered back and forth about
the two rooms. He wondered what
the time might be; then he did not
care. He was alone. The smallpox
had him in its grip. Why didn't some

been living in. And there were lights

the light at the parsonage. And a big
bell was booming. That was his
church bell and he would be late for
the meeting.
Some one was speaking to him. He
knew the voice. He had known It al

Denyer-That the Mountain States
Telephone L. Telegraph Company is a
A3urper on the streets of Denver. hav-
ing no franchise or other nght to oc-
cupy the streets with its poles and
wires, was the substance OF a deci-
son by Judge John H. Denison Of the
District Court.
The decision is just as | expected"
said Mr. Brown. Il think it is up to
the telephone company now to either
accept that Brown ordinance or get a
franchise | believe they will accept
The ordinance In that case there Will
lie no need OF the hearing OF the other
suits"
In brief Judge Denison held in his
decision that:
The Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph Company has no franchise
ior the use OF Denver streets.
That any rights which may have
been granted by the State Legislature
or action Of city officials have expired
by limitation of law. The life of
franchise is limited to the life of the
grantee.
That the grant OF a perpetual right
in 1887 to a telegraph company for
the use of the city streets for tele-
graph lines, cannot be construed to
mean telephone lines also, as tele-
phones were unknown at that time.
There are no federal statutes regu-
lating the telephone business between
states Each state has control of the
companies doing business within its
borders
The people are sovereign in the con-
troll of their highways
Telephone attorneys announce they
will appeal from Judge Denison's de-
cision to the Supreme Court.
