Mrs. Rev. Hicks of Laramie, presided
over a meeting held in the lecture room
of the Congregational church yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of reorganizing
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of this city. The attendance was
quite small, but much enthusiasm was
displayed. Preliminary steps looking to
the establishment of a lodge or society
were taken, and officers will probably be
elected at a meeting to be held next Sun
day. Mrs. Hicks is president of the ter
%ritori4l w. G. T. j., and proposes to
make the good influences of the ordar felt
throughout Wyoming. In a brief ad-
dress to her hearers yesterday Mrs. Hicks
expressed the hope that the anti gambling
bill would pass the legislature.

For the OIL Interest,

Interested individuals and persons CON
versant with the subject pronounce Mr..
Patterns bill requiring owners and opera
tors of oil wells to plug the same, before
abandonment, an excellent measure. 1t
is intended both to protect and preserve
the purity of the oil bearing rock and
prevent pollution of streams or bodies OF
water in oil districts. At present the law
would only operate in Fremont, Crook
and Carbon counties, but it is more than
probable that oil will soon be discovered in
other portions of the territory.

cies who erstwhIle was incarcerated for the
theft Of some furniture and more recently
arrested for the larceny of two watches

acting as bailee for Mrs. Bohnstedt. His
honor could not spare the time to alter the
complaint and the prisoner was adiudged
guilty of petty larceny and fined $40 and

LEWIS ACQUITTED.
Patterson in Court--His Case Postponed
for a Week.

The district court was as lively as usual
yesterday and the proceedings were Of
considerable interest to those who have
been watching the course OF events in the
Fort Laramie cases.
The case OF the territory VS.. David
Lewis, charged with being ans accessory
after the fact to the crime of murder in
the second degree, in which a jury had
been obtained the night before, was taken
up for trial, Gen. Thompson and T. NJ.
Fisher appearing for "Old Dave"
In his opening statement on behalf of
defendant Gen. Thompson stated that
for the sake of getting at the Iuain ques.
ton in issue the defense would concede
that a crime had been committed by Ever
EFT or Sander5on and that the remains were
those of Richard Rice. The defense
would be simply that the defendant had
no knowledge that a crime had been com
mit.ed and had therefore not concealed
the fact from any magistrate or other
persons.
n SNitShbC buuuCCu yesterday WAS
the,same old story in regard to the find
ing and Identification of the remains. the
affair at the Everett ranch, ETC., together
with some new matters that had not pre-
viously been developed on any of these
trials. One of these was a curious fact
regarding Richard Rice's dog. While
they were hunting for Rice the dog went
to a point not far from the ranch, and
after smelling around on the ground fol-
lowed a real or imaginary trail down to
the river at the point where the mysteri.
Gus tracks we're found, and after reaching
the rivers edge the dog even plunged
into the water as though hunting for his
master. Ii the dog was right and found
the place where Rice either ran into the
river or was carried in after death, then
the willow slough trail, about which so
much has been SAID, might properly be
termed the wrong trail"
Another matter came out in evidence
yesterday which had not previously been
testified to, and that was that Lewis was
the last man who saw Rice and at that
time he (Rice) was running back from the
Everett ranch and appeared to have been
injured in some way that affected his
breathing very much.
AT the conclusion of the evidence for
the prosecution yesterday afternoon Gen.
Thompson moved that the jury be per-
emptorily instructed to acquit the defend
ant on the ground that the prosecution
had failed to prove hat Lewis had any
knowledge of the crime or hat he had
concealed anything from the authorities.
After quite a spirited argument the
court sustained the motion, whereupon
Lewis was acquitted and discharged from
custody.
In the Patterson murder case the de-
PENDANT was brought into court and by
stipulation the testimony of ex Sheriff
Craig was taken in regard to a couple Of
revolvers that were taken from Patterson
at the time he was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Carroll prior to his making his
escape into Montana.
Mr.. Craig is anxious to return home
and to be able to do SO now his evidence
has been taken in this way. After taking
the testimony of Mr.. Craig the Patterson
murder case was put over until next
Wednesday, and court adjourned until 9
o'clock this morning.

The Two Chiefs.

The two mon at the St Louis convention
who were consulted upon all questions, and
who were regarded as the chief managers,
were Senator German of Maryland and
Congressman William NJ. Scott of Pennsyl-
vania. The latter represented Mr.. Cleve-
land more directly than the former, though
it is quite certain that the former had sew
eral confidential talks at tho white house
before he left Washington for st. Louis
The two men are very unlike in their ap-
pearance and in their methods of dealing
with public questions and handling repre-
sentative bodies Senator German is much
the younger man. being only 40 years of
age Congressman Scott is go. They both
came from the ranks, and both were pages
in the house of representatives at Wash
ington, Mr.. Scott acting in that capacity
for about six years. Mr.. Scott was com
paratively unknown outside of his state ten
years ago, and not very well in it, except
in the vicinity of his home. He is serving
his secondAterm in congress, and a very
good congressman he makes. 1t is certain
that he has the confidence Of the President
to an extraordinary degree, and it is be-
lieved that at the convention he was the
spokesman of the administration.
Senator German has always been a poll
tician. 1t would be difficult to tell when he
was not holding or seeking an office. He is
now serving his second term in the senate,
and he is such an expert political manager
that it would not be surprising if he should
succeed In getting another reelection. At
the convention he led those who wanted to
touch the tariff question so tenderly that
the public would not be able to understand
the party's position with regard to 1T.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the two
men who directed the course of the conven-
ton should have been pages in congress.
Their careers show what can be accom-
plished in this country by boys who are
earnest, energetic and honest.

The nomination of Judge Thurman for
vice president cannot be regarded other
wise than as wise one. He is a very old
man, it is true. but his mind is as clear and
strong as ever it was, and, although he
shows signs of failing physically, he is
able to discharge the duties of the Office
satisfactorily.
There is no doubt that he is the most
popular candidate that could have been
nominated About the only opposition to
him ON personal grounds is in his own state,
and most Of those opposed to him there are
either connected with corrupt rings which
he has denounced, or have been caught in
disreputable transactions which he has con-
demned. 1t is not expected that he will
carry Ohio, and, therefore, 1t doesn't make
much difference if his enemies there in his
own party refuse to support him. The
number of them is not large
Outside Of his state he is remarkably
popular, and he will help the ticket greatly
in the doubtful states of New York, Con
necticut, New Jersey and Indiana, and in
the Pacific coast states. He is known
throughout the country as one of the
pillars of the democracy, and his integrity
and craftsmanship are recognized and adj
mitted.
A couple Of weeks ago he was not thought
OF in connection with the ticket, but when
he was suggested for vice President the
suggestion was received with the greatest
enthusiasm in every state. The advisa-
bility Of nominating him was not ques-
toned, except by friends of other candi-
dates and even they were finally forced to
yield to the general demand,
No one of the other candidates
would have added much strength
to the ticket outside of their respective
States, but Mr.. Thurman will strengthen it
in about all the States. The ticket, Cleve-
land and Thurman, will be received with
enthusiasm everywhere, and democrats
and Independents will rally to its support
with such earnestness and devotion as to
insure its success.

Mr.. Thurman and Solicitor General jerks
are warm personal friends, and their friend
ship for each other was brought about in
this way: When Mr.. Thurman was a
member of the electoral commission, it was
his habit to write brief notes to Mr. Bay
ard, who was also member of the COM
mission. When Mr.. jerks spoke in the
Louisiana case, Mr.. Thurman, who did not
know him at that time, listened attentively
and finally handed to Mr.. Bayard slip
containing these words: 1.-THE longer | hear
this man the better like him. He reasons
with the exactness of a Newton or a La
Place. He has now spoken one hour, and
has not uttered one superfuous word" The
speech lifted Mr.. jerks from comparative
obscurity into prominence, and Mr. Thur
mans note, which Mr.. jerks now has, led
to the most cordial relations between the
two gentlemen.

Folding beds seem to fit into some home lives

have your foldinng-bed suddenly extend itself
