irrigating ditches, flumes, or telegraph lines; and also for the State, counties, and municipal corporations to acquire any real estate, including streets, alleys or public highways, as sites for public buildings, or for any other necessary public purposes. The State Constitution provides that private property shall not be taken for private use, unless by the consent of the owner, or taken or damaged for public or private use without just compensation, and that no person shall be deprived of property without due process of law.

X. EXECUTIONS:

Execution may issue immediately after judgment is rendered, and is returnable in sixty days from a court of record, and thirty days when issued by a justice of the peace. There is no stay law, except in Justices' Courts, and when the case is taken on error or appeal to a higher court.

XI. EXEMPTIONS:

Household furniture, provisions, etc., for head of family residing with same, to value of five hundred dollars; tools, team, implements or stock in trade of mechanic, miner, or other person, kept for his trade or business, to value of three hundred dollars; library and instruments of professional man to value of three hundred dollars; homestead actually occupied as such by head of family, in country, one hundred and sixty acres; in town, lot or lots in value not exceeding one thousand five hundred dollars; and necessary wearing apparel of every person to the value of one hundred and fifty dollars. The earnings of a judgment debtor are exempt to the amount of one hundred dollars where necessary to the use of a family supported wholly or in part by his labor. No property is exempt to a person removing or absconding from the State, and all persons claiming exemption must be actual, bona fide residents of the State. No article of property is exempt from attachment or sale on execution for its purchase price.

XII. INTEREST AND USURY:

In the absence of express contract, all moneys, claims, or judgments draw interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum. Any rate may be agreed upon in writing, not exceeding twelve per cent per ar.num. If any greater rate is agreed upon the lender forfeits all interest. Unsettled accounts draw interest after thirty days from date of last item.

XIII JUDGMENTS:

Judgments are a lien on debtor's real estate within the county from the first day of the term at which judgment is entered, but judgments by confession and judgments rendered at the same term at which the action is commenced bind the debtor's real estate only from the time of entry, which lien continues for five years.

XIV. LIENS:

The law provides for liens of agistors and stable-keepers, common carriers and warehouse men, upon property entrusted to them to care for; also of mechanics and material men for labor and materials furnished for the construction or repair of buildings; and also a lien of mechanics, artisans or other persons who may make, alter, repair or bestow labor upon any article of personal property at the request of the owner or party having possession thereof. ("XVII. Miners' Liens.")

XV. LIMITATION:

On contracts not in writing, eight years; upon specialty or agreement in writing, five years; on all foreign judg ments, or contracts made or incurred before debtor becomes a resident, within two years after he establishes residence in the State; recovery of lands, ten years. Revivor: Part payment or acknowledgment in writing. XVI. MARRIED WOMEN:

A married woman retains her property, both real and personal; may make a will; carry on business: sue and be sued; and retain her own earnings in the same manner as if sole. She may also vote and hold office. There is no right of dower under the State law. In cases where an unmarried woman is appointed executrix or guardian her authority to act in either of those capacities is extinguished by her marriage. A married woman cannot be appointed administratrix.

XVII. MINERS' LIENS:

He who shall work, at the request of the owner thereof, on a vein or lode, mine or bank, shall have a lien thereon to the amount due, at any time when a demand shall be made upon such owner therefor and payment shall be refused.

Any person who shall labor as a mechanic or otherwise, or who shall furnish materials for erecting or constructing apparatus upon any mine shall also have a lien upon the mine for his reasonable charges.

Any person performing labor or furnishing materials shall have like liens upon oil territory upon which he labored or furnished materials, as miners or other laborers upon or in mines, as provided in this chapter.

Any sub-contractor, whose demand has not been paid, by giving notice to the owner and an attested account of his work performed and material furnished, is entitled to the amount of his claim out of the money due the contractor; and the owner shall thereupon notify the contractor, so that if there be any disagreement as to the true sum due, the account may be amicably adjusted. But if, within thirty days after the receipt of such notice, the contractor does not notify the owner that he intends to dispute the claim, he shall be considered as assenting to the demand, and the owner shall be justified in paying the sum when it becomes due.

All liens afore mentioned, in every case, shall hold not only against the owner of the mine, but against all persons who shall have purchased such mine.

Any person entitled to a lien under this chapter shall make an account in writing of the items of labor, skill, machinery or material furnished, and making oath thereto, shall within sixty days from the time of completion of said work or furnishment of said material, file the same in the office of the register of deeds of the county where the mine is located, with a correct description of the property, which account so made and filed shall for one year thereafter operate as a lien upon the described property. He may then proceed by civil action, and the lien shall continue until such suit or suits be finally determined. All persons claiming liens shall be made parties defendant, and their rights therein shall be determined by the court. Such action shall be brought in the county where said lien is filed. Service therefor may be had in any county in the State, or by publication if the owner or owners of the mine live out of the State, or being a corporation, has no office within the State. All lien claims for labor performed or material furnished shall be concurrent and paid pro rata out of the proceeds arising from the sale thereof.

XVIII. MORTGAGES:

Chattel mortgages are required by law to be executed and acknowledged in the same manner as are mortgages of real estate. They are required to be filed, but not recorded, in the office of the county clerk of the county where the mortgaged property is situated. The lien of the chattel mortgage continues until the indebtedness thereby secured, or the last installment thereof, becomes due, and for sixty days thereafter. After that time it continues in force as between the parties thereto, but it ceases to be valid as against the creditors of the mortgagee and as against subsequent purchasers, or mortgagees, in good faith. The chattel mortgage may be renewed by filing, during the said period of sixty days, an affidavit setting forth the amount still due and unpaid of the original indebtedness. This affidavit, when filed in the office of the county clerk, continues the lien of the mortgage in force for a period of one year, and a similar affidavit may be filed within thirty days next preceding the expiration of said period of one year, and each year thereafter, by means of which the lien of the mortgage is continued in force. Chattel mortgages are foreclosed by a sale of the mortgaged property, notice of which must be given by publication once each week for three successive weeks in a weekly newspaper published in the county in which the sale shall take place, or by posting notices in three public places in said county, if no newspaper is published therein. Contracts or leases providing for the sale of personal property, dependent upon conditions, are required to be in writing, signed by the vendee, or lessee, and filed in the office of the county clerk of the county where the property is.

Real estate mortgages must be attested by one witness, acknowledged and recorded in the manner provided by law for the execution and recording of deeds, and are foreclosed by action at law, or by advertisement for six weeks. Real property sold under foreclosure of mortgage, either by decree of court or by advertisement, may be redeemed within six months from the date of sale, upon payment of the amount for which the property was sold, and interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent per annum from the date of sale.

XIX. NOTES AND BILLS:

Notes and bills of exchange are subject to a State law which substantially enacts the law merchant. The first day of January, twenty-second day of February, thirtieth day of May, fourth day of July, the day appointed by the President of the United States or the Governor of the State as a fast or Thanksgiving Day, the twenty-fifth day of December, a day appointed by the Governor of the State as Arbor Day, and all days on which regular State and county elections are held are legal holidays.

XX. SUITS:

There is but one form of action, and the code of procedure is very similar to that of Ohio.

XXI. TAXES:

Taxes become due and payable on the third Monday in September in each year, and the taxpayer should pay the entire amount of his taxes after that time and before the thirty-first day of December following. In all cases where the tax is not paid on the thirty-first day of

WYOMING LAWS.

December succeeding the levy thereof, the amount of the tax charged against any taxpayer so failing to pay such tax shall become delinquent from that day. A penalty of ten per cent on the amount unpaid is added to all taxes when they become delinquent. Delinquent taxes draw interest at the rate of twenty-five per centum per annum until paid or collected by distress and sale. Taxes upon real property are made a perpetual lien thereupon, and taxes due from any person upon personal property are a. lien upon any real property owned by such person. Both personal and real property may be sold for taxes in the manner provided by law. Real property may be redeemed from tax sale at any time within two years after the sale, by payment of the amount for which it was sold, thirty per cent of the same, interest on the whole amount at the rate of twelve per cent per annum, and subsequent taxes.

XXII. WAGES:

Wages due to the employees of an insolvent debtor, who has made an assignment, for three months prior to the date of the assignment, constitute preferred claims against the estate of assignor and must be paid first. See "XI. Exemptions," in regard to earnings of a judgment debtor which cannot be garnisheed.

XXIII. WILLS:

Any will, to be valid, must be in writing or typewritten, witnessed by two competent witnesses, and signed by the testator, or by some person in his presence, and by his express direction; and if the witnesses are competent

at the time of attesting the execution of the will, their subsequent incompetency, from whatever cause it may arise, shall not prevent the probate and allowance of the will. No subscribing witness to any will can derive any benefit therefrom, unless there be two other disinterested and competent witnesses to the same; but if without a will such witness would be entitled to any portion of the testator's estate, such witness may still receive such portion, to the extent and value of the amount devised. Wills are admitted to probate in the court of the proper county upon petition being filed, and after notice by publication for not less than ten, nor more than thirty days from the production of the will. Every custodian of a will, within thirty days after receipt of information that the maker thereof is dead, must deliver the same to the District Court having jurisdiction of the estate, or to the executor named in the will.
