Property valued at millions of dollars In many towns between Denver and Cheycnno on the north and along what was formorly the old Kansas Pacific to tho cast will ultimately bo taken from its present possessors by tho Union Pa cific Railway company If tho rights which it is asserting to a 400-foot right- of-way at Brighton are upheld by tho U.
