The Body of Mathew Dawson, the
Bank Cashier.
For Five Months 1t Has Reposed in
Hutton's Lake.
He Was Found by a Couple of
Sportsmen Yesterday.
History of His Drowning and the
Late Discovery.

Dawson's BODY Discovered.
The body OF Mathew Dawson, after
having reposed in the waters of Hutton's
lake, twelve miles from Laramie city,
since the 10th day of October, 1891, was
discovered yesterday. The dlecovery was
made about IL o'clock by two sportsmen
who went out to the lake duck hunting.
Dan Bries and Thomas Gowan were the
men who made the all important discov-
cry. The hunters arrived at the lake
early in the morning. As it is several
miles in circumference the hunters started
around it. They bagged several ducks
and proceeded on their wav unconcerned-
". little dreaming of the great, yet ghast-
ly discovery which they we're soon des-
tined to make. When the hunters were
within a few hundred yards of where the
Inflated and doubly unfortunate boat cap
sized and drowned President f. E. Scrym-
ser and Cashier Dawson last October,
they saw a great flock of ducks. The
men went put a few yards from the shore
and there, lying under a thin piece of
CLASSY Ice, glistening in the MONDAY sun
shine, was the upturned face af Mathew

MILLER MUST HANG
Governor Barber Refuses TO Interfere
In His Behalf with Execu-
tive CIemency.

Following is the letter of Gov. Barber
to Charles Miller and his petitioners:
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March %, 1892
To Charles Miller and Frank D. raggart.
his Attorney. -SIRs: Since the convic-
ton OF Charles Miller, in addition to
your petition for commutation of his SEN
tence, l have received a large number of
letters and petitions from persons request
ing on the one side. Communication to life
imprisonment, aud on the other that the
sentence of the court be carried into eff
feet.
l deem it advisable to reply here to
your application and also to these letters
and petitions. collectively, stating the
reasons that have led to the decision ar
rived at.
Charles Miller committed a cold blooded
fessed the crime. The district court gave
him a fair trial and the supreme court,
after thoroughly considering the case, has
sustained the decision. The courts have
ohoWh hihi uuuouai iCuiCuOy huo plOtCO-
ton, resolving in his favor all doubtful
questions of law and fact. No new evil
dence has been found since his conviction.
| have carefully reviewed the record Of
his trial and have considered all the pleas
offered for a Communication of his sentence.
and see no reason whatever by which, as
governor of the state, sworn to uphold its
laws, | can conscientiously comm e the
sentence. however much my feelings as
an individual may prompt me to do so.
Miller is young to have committed such
a crime, yet he was much beyond the
legal age Of accountability. His under.
standing and shrewdness are as fully
developed as in other boys of his age
perhaps in some respects they are better
developed. His mental condition was
carefully investigated by experts at his
trial. No one of them, even of those
called for the defense, could say that the
boy was not accountable for his acts.
Within the past month | have myself had
his mental condition again thoroughly
examined, with the result as in the pre-.
vious examinations, that Miller is sane
always has been sane, and was SANE at the
time OF the murder; he was laboring
under no delusions; had no reason to
expect an injury. and did not expect any
injury from his victims. He could dis
tinguish between right and wrong. He
knew the penalty attached to murder.
He killed his victims deliberately and pre-.
meditatedly, and in a coldblooded and
heartless manner, in order to obtain their
money; robbing them, according to his
own statements, Immediately after the
shooting, one being at the time dead and
the other dying.
In view of all the circumstances of this
case, | cannot, without yielding to mere
sentimentalism, interfere with the sem
tence of the court.
The petition for Communication is there
fore denied. Respectfully,
[Signed AMOS W. BARBER,
Acting Governor.

An Undispured Fest of Merit.

A medicine that has been a household
remedy for sixty years and used in that
time by more than $50, 900, 900 persons
must have great merit. Such a medicine
is found in Brandreth's Pills. This fact
illustrates the value Of these pills better
than n statement of the proprietors.
1t will be observed that the dose required
to cure is small. One or two pills taken
every night for ten or twenty DAYS will
cure dyspepsia, costiveness, rheumatism,
liver complaint, all female complaints and
weakness.
Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safe to take at
any time.
Sold in every drug or medicine store,
either plain or sugar coated.

they made the ghastly discovery of Daw-

Brown, brother In law of Mr.. Dawson.
Before one could scarcely realize it the
the entire town of Laramie was aroused
and their jov pon the receipt OF the news
of the recovery of Dawson's body knew
no bounds. There was audible exclama-
tions of joy from hundreds of the citizens
of Laramie. The wires were warm for
several minutes flashing the news. and
the discovery of the remains Of Dawson
was known throughout this con tinent. A
number of citizens went out to the lake
and tenderlv brought Mr.. Dawson's body
from the bosom of Hutton and borne 1t to
town and carefully prepared it for burial.
Nh. Bries and his companion magnani-
mously refused the reward offered for the
discovery of Mr.. Dawson's body. saying
they did not want a cent and were as glad
to make the discovery as anybody else
was.

Inc lOtn OF OcUODer, 1871, was an eX-
ceedingly windy day, particularly in the
afternoon, and while it blew a lively gale
in Town 1t blew a perfect hurricane far ont
on the bleak and unprotected prairie. 1t
had been previously arranged that on
that day D. G. Bacon, +. Z. Scrymser
and NJ. B. Dawson, accompanied by two
carpenters named George Stirling and
james Davis, should go to the lake. All
of the party started except Mr.. Bacon,
who considered the day two windy and
failed to come IN from his ranch. The
party proceeded to Hutton's lakes. three
independent sheets of water located about
twelve miles south by west of Laramie.
They procee led to the north side of the
largest lake and there launched the boat.
The carpenters set to work constructing
the boat house while Messrs. Scrymser
and Dawson with sails stiffened to the
breeze enjoyed themselves amazingly in
scurrying over the turbulent waters. About
noon they returned to the spot where the
men were at work and together they en-
joyed a lunch. At l o'clock the boat
was again launched. The wind had in
the meaHtime stiffened to a hurricane.
The water was dashed to a fury and the
foamv crests of the waves dashed high
above the normal dead level of the water.
This time the sails were not hoisted at
the outset but whether they we're or not
atterward opinions differ and no definite
information can be had. The carpenters
had been instructed to rush the work as
much as possible so as to finish the Job
about 6 o'clock at which time the party
were to return to Laramie. While hard
at work the carpenters cast occasional
glances over the lake to see how the boat
was getting along. Later in the after

noon Davis called his companions atten-
ton to the boat and said he believed it
was drifting. Through the gathering
darkness they watched the boat closely
and followed it around to the side of the
lake toward which it seemed to be help
lessly headed. 1t soon approached close
enough for them to discover that it was
upturned and some object like the figure
of a man was apparently lsshed to the
boat and swaying to and fro with the
movement oil the little craft. Fearing the
worst they started to the spot where their
horses hal been picketed, only to dis
v that both had got loose. One had
entirely disappeared and the other had
already drifted so far away that they felt
it would be useless to follow him on foot
IN the gathering gloom. They decided to
walk to Laramie, and put the resolution
into immediate effect. Tired and worn
they Reached Laramie at about $50
o'clock that night and hunting up some
intimate friends of Messrs. Scrymser and
Dawson, expressed to them their fears.
The Unsuccessful Search.
After the drowning of these two prom
inent and popular bankers, Scrvmsen and
Dawson, such a pail of sadness fell upon
entirely dumfounded. Brave, deter
mined men began the search for the re-
covery of the two bodies. The next
night the body of Mr.. Scrymser was
found tightly wrapped to the little yacht
which had proven unequal to the angry
waters and fierce winds of Hutton's lake,
and had sent down to death Scrymser
and Dawson. Here the discovery stop
ped until yesterday. For many nights
and days, and in fact until the lake had
frozen over and shut off work, was the
search continued for the recovery of
Dawson's body. After a f~ruitless search
for two weeks. night and day, nothin z
whatever was discovered to indicate the
whereabouts of the Inflated cashier. Mr..
Dawson. Finally it was decid-
ed to send to San Francisco
for professional divers. These arrived,
and after finding out everything pos
sible about the accident, how it came
about, the velocity of the wind, the exact
point upon the lake where Scrymser and
Dawson went down. the point from where
the boat started, where Scrymser and the
boat were found, with the thousand and
one theories advanced by a sympathizing
and interested public, they proceeded to
the lake and operated there for several
days, but finally gave up the search and
went home. The search was continued
by friends of the lamented deceased but it
followed suit of the other searches and
was futile and unsuccessful as the others.
Then the lake froze over and through all
the long winter months the body of Mat
thew Dawson laid somewhere in the
~treacherous waters of Hutton.

is A KISS ASSAULT?
A London Magistrate Says That the
Chances are Against 1t.


Chances are Against 1t.
An interesting subject was decided
by Mr.. Rose at the Worship street po-
lice office, in London, recently. Il
householder was summoned for as
saulting young girl of sixteen by
kissing her. The complainant deposed
that the defendant, in whose service
she was, called her into the room to do
some work, when he seized her round
the waist and kissed her She went
home and complained, and was at once
removed from the situation. The
solicitor who appeared for the defence
said that kissing was not an assault,
because it was not the occasion of any
bodily injury. Mr. Rose, the sitting
magistrate, replied:
Pray in the nineteenth century do
not suggest to me that kissing is not
an assault under these circumstances.
You make the act very bad, indeed, on
the part of this man"
1t was then suggested in defence
that the defendant was man of good
character. The magistrate said he
would take his character for granted,
but he imposed a fine of 4Os. and costs.
