Special Dispatch 10 The Leader.
LARAMIE CITY, December l2.-Cook
will be hanged between the hours of IL
and u O'Clock to-day. He has been con-
verted to the Catholic religion by Rev.
Father Commiskey, of Laramie. during
the past week. Previous to the efforts of
Father Csmmiskey in behalf of his spir-
itual welfare he had held no religious be-
lief in particular. The priest will visit
him this morning at s o'clock, remaining
one hour, and will again visit him at 10
o'clock, remaining with him until the ex-
ecution. Cook sent in his order last night
for a good breakfast, and the fat of the
land will be levied on to provide him with
a square meal this morning. He will
make no public confession. He does not
deny the killing of james Blount, but
says he bad no intention of killing him,
and consequently is not guilty of murder.
During the past week Cooks condition
has changed wonderfully, and he has lost
much ofthe braggadocio which has char
acteriEed him during the long interval
between the time Of his arrest for the
murder and the present About twenty
five invitations have been sent out to rep
r~esentatives of the press and members of
the police force of different parts of the
Territory. The hanging WILDE conducted
by Sheriff Louis Miller, assisted by his
deputy, James Sterling, and the arrange
ments will be satisfactory to all parties,
with perhaps one exception.

HIS LAST NIGHT.
An Interview With the Condemned
Murderer at Laramie.
He Appears Self Possessed, And
Will Probably Die Game.
A Quiet Night and a Big Breakfast
This Morning.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
LARAMIE CRY, December lin
company with an officer and several others
your special representative tonight Wis
tied the jail where George Cook, the con-
demned murderer. is now confined, await
ing the arrival Of the hour when he will
be taken forth to his death.
The party called at 1890 o'clock, and
at hat hour Cooks cell was brilliantly
illuminated. He was in his stocking feet
and red flannel underclothes, and was
smoking a cigarette. When the visitors
approached, Cook was talking with the
death watch, and appeared perfectly cool
and collected; indeed, his demeanor was
quietly self-possessed, and evinced neither
apprehension nor braggadocio.
When asked to make a statement, he
declined to say anything more than that
he would answer all questions tomorrow.
After some general conversation Cook
said he did not wish to be misrepresented,
and therefore had declined to make any
statement. Some one remarked, Cook,
you are looking well" and he laughingly
replied: II have been growing fat for
some time, and will be fat enough to kill
to morrow" r.
When pressed to state now he felt, he
said he had made his peace with God,
and expected that he would go to a better
world. He exhibited a very cheerful de-
meanor all through the interview, and
smoked constantly while the visitors were
present.
With reference to sleeping tonight,
he said he expected to turn in" as soon
as the callers had departed.
Cook spoke harshly Of some Laramie
people and their treatment of him, but
extracted some consolation from the SEN
timent that every dog has its day, and
mine will be tomorrow" he added, after
a pause.
The doomed man is about FIVE feet ten
inches in height, is well built, and will
weigh about 100 pounds. He has light
hair. of that peculiar color often called
SANDY" He wears a light beard, and is
looking pale, the result of his long con-
fnement, no doubt. As the visitors were
leaving Cook said he expected this was
his last night on earth, but he would die
game to-morrow-and it is believed he
made no idle boast.

An elegantly engraved invitation to be
present at the opening of the Worlds
Industrial Exposition, at New Orleans,
on the 10th inst, was received by THE
LEADER yesterday. Hon. Homer Mer
nil, the Wyoming Commissioner at the
Exposition, states, in a letter tothis Office,
that each State and Territory is limited to
twenty invitations, and it therefore makes
t impossible for him to send invitations
Ito all of the distinguished citizens of
Wyoming whom he would be pleased to
invite. The invitations apply solely to
the opening ceremonies of the Exposition,
and of course have no reference to the or
binary attendance after the Exposition is
formally opened to the public.

Marriage Under nImeultIss.


A stylish young man, who gave his
name as Leo. Rothenthall, appeared at
the County Clerks office Wednesday
afternoon and asked for a marriage Ii
cense. He was accompanied by a beauti-
full and elegantly dressed Young lady, who
appeared to be about Is years old.
Rothenthall swore she was over 81 years
Of age and the license was issued. The
young lady's name was given as Lillian
Vance. Shortly after the license was
issued a telegram was received from Ne
braska, asking that the license be refused,
as the young lady was under IS years of
age.
Yesterday an aristocratic appearing
gentleman arrived here in search of the
young couple, but they had disappeared
They did not stop at any hotel. and no
reports of their marriage have been re-
ceived.
The gentleman in pursuit of the run-
away pair is the girls father. 1t is pre-
sumed they let the license go by default,
and went further west. The father
started westward in pursuit last evening.
The case is evidently one in high life, but
particulars were not obtainable.

THE SNOW STORM.
General Throughout the West, but
Light In wyoming.

The snow storm which began here early
Wednesday morning and which has con-
tinued in an intermittent and ftful way
ever since, has been quite general through
out Wyoming and the entire West The
storm originated in the far North and has
been slowly travelling southwark.
The heaviest fall of snow in Colorado is
reported at Silverton, whore THE beauti-
full" fell to a depth of sixteen inches on a
level and is still showing. The same re-
port says that people are not afraid of a
repetition Of the snow blockades Of last
Winter.
The snow has been a light one here and
barely cover the ground. 1t will protect
the grass and as the mercury has not APP
preached zero. it can do no harm. A
telegram was published in the Chicago
papers to the effect that immense banks
of snow were impeding the Union Pacific
trains and the report has gained some
credance in Colorado. The storm has
been a light one along the line of the rail
road and not enough snow has fallen to
make any noticeable drifts, even had it
drifted. No drifts have occurred and the
trains are running on time. The average
tall Of snow throughout Southern Wyo-
ming does not exceed three inches at the
present writing and the weather is mild.
incidentally. it may be remarked that the
season of the year has arrived when the
almanacs judiciously warn their readers
to look out for snow about this time"
