We have been informed that
there is some doubt as to whether
the funds now remaining in the
hands of Receiver Doolittle will be
disbursed as a final dividend to the
creditors of the trust or as a rebate
to the stockholders who have paid
their assessments, the comptroler
being of the opinion that there is a
possibility of finding that the
"assessment was excessive. The
matter will probably be determined
within the course of the next few
weeks.

where Sleeky Eye Flouris used'
It has been demonstrated time after time proven con
clusively that Sleepy Kyc Flour makes from eight
to ten loaves of bread more to the sack than other
flours. That's quite a saving, and it will do it, too. A trial
sack convinces; then trial users become steady customers.

A train of fifty six loads thirty
one cars of oranges, seventeen cars
of cattle, five cars of cabbage and
three cars of tea, came down from
Cheyenne Wednesday afternoon
n seven hours and forty-two min
utes, this includes a thirty minute
stop on account of hot boxes and
stops at Sidney and Julcsburg.
The actual running time was six
hours and twenty-one minutes. On
the Fourth district the train made
No. 4's time and would have done
better had it not been for the hot
boxes. The man who was shipping
the cattle was rather inclined to
kick when he saw them hitched
to a train which already had thirty

reached here he concluded that he
was iroinir fast enough. Engine
