RAPID HANDLING OF NEWS,
Splendid Service of the Associated Press in
Forwarding the Regina Matter.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21-The statement is printed
here of the record made by the Associated Press
In transmitting the news of the execution Of
Louis Rel at Regina last Monday. A represent
ative of the Associated Press was sent from
Chicago to Regina which is located on the Ca
madam Pacific railway, 400 miles west from Win
nipeg. The execution occurred at the barracks
of the mounted police force, four miles from the
telegraph station. The famous rebel was hanged
at 1882 A. NJ, or 9:23 Chicago time The bulle-
tin announcing the event was carried by
mounted courier to the telegraph Office of the
Canadian Pacific Telegraph Company. which
wired the message to Winnipeg Here a
special messenger, employed for the
the Office of the great Northwestern Telegraph
Company, three blocks distant. who put it on
direct wire from Chicago where it was re-
eeived at 1906 or forty three minutes after the
event, including the transmission Of the mess
age. Eighteen minutes of this time was con-
sumed in traversins the distance from the bar
racks to the telegraph Office. In view of the
natural distractions to speed which intervened,
the feat is one of the most remarkable in news
gathering of recent date Before II A. NJ,

OF Riels last hours aud the crowning act of the
tragedy, was in every principal Associated Press
TACT OF the execution was chronicled an hour in
advance or any other announcement, including
the dispatch TO the government, which is due in
great part to the splendid service rendered by
fhe Canadian Pacific and Great Northwestern
Telegraph Companies
