The Way They Vote in Wyoming.

A Laramie paper tells the following: _ The papers have been telling about the Laramie woman who sat down and took a good cry when her vote was challenged. NoW let them talk about the woman at Medicine Bow who, just as she was depositing her vote last election-day, was surprised to hear a rough sing out:, “ I challenge that woman’s vote.” , “On what grounds, sir?” > “ She hasn’t been long enough in tlie Territory.” Did the woman sit down and cry over it? It is not to be recorded. Her dainty little hand glided back into the folds of her pull-back, and the next thjng that audacious cuss knew he was gazing into the muz»le of a derringer, while the fair voter said: “ How long have I been in the Territory, sir?” “ Look out, madam—doa’t. That cussed thing might go off—take it away; I beg your pardon; I—don’t touch that trigger —l4-I’m mistaken in the woman. Please point that the other way. I’ll lick the lyin’ sheep-thief that says you haven’t lived right here intliis town for ten years, I sw’ar I will.” He scooted around the corner and she smilingly passed in her ticket.
