FOR A GREATER WYOMING.
Proposition To Attach Ncbrsska's "Pan-
handle" to That state.

Proposition to Attach Ncbrsska's 'Pan-
handle' to That state.
GERING, Neb., Feb. Ca special to.
The Bee says: A startling proposition,
which has been quietly discussed in the
western section of the state, found its
first public expression ut the irrigation
convention of SCOTS Bluff and Cheyenne
counties, held in this city. 1t is no less a
scheme than the annexation Of the terri
tory lying west of the east line of Colo
RADIO, now what Is termed the ''pan-
handle" of Nebraska, to the state of Wy
oming.
The reasons assigned for advocating
such q novel plan are almost entirely con-
fined to the irrigation phase in its bearing
upon the future prosperity Of the large
area involved. The claim is made that
the greater portion of the state of Ne
braska is oblivious of the great necessi-
ties Of the semi-arid portion of the state,
that az a whole there is no sympathy
with the irrigation idea in the populous
sections of the state, and that tho west
ern end of the state is left entirely to its
W resources to work out its salvation
as best 1t can.> There are many protec-
tive features to tho Wyoming statutes,
and the advocates Of this plan urge it on
the ground that the interests of this Sec
ton Of Nebraska are identical with those
of Wyoming. They claim that from the
situation Of western Nebraska with rela-
ton to the great mineral fields of Wyom-
ing, there will be found the future mar
kets for irrigated produce, and that it
will be simply a step toward getting into
touch - between producer and consumer.

companied by Sheriff Buttling, entered.
He was apparently the most uncon-

Every who saw him remarked about
his wonderful nerve and self-possession.
Motion For . New Trial Denied.
When Judge Bartlett took his seat on
the bench Mr.. James arose and moved
for a new trial. 1t was denied. Mr..
James then asked for a stay of execution
Of Judgment for 20 days to enable the de-
PENDANT to move on a notice for certifi-
cate of reasonable doubt. Mr.. Sheppard
said that It would be better for the de-
PENDANTS counsel to wait until sentence
be pronounced before making this appli-
cation. Mr.. Sheppard moved for SEN
tence to'be passed.
McKane, when asked what he had to
say, said: 81 do not know that ! can say
apything but what I said on the stand
during hs trial.. ! have never done any
thing wrong to any n as far as ! ] know.
! never did anything directly or indirect
ly wrong with regard to the election, nor
did l ever counsel any one else to do any,
thing wrong. l again say that I am not
guilty of any offense against the law"
Judge Bartlett then proceeded to pass
sentence, and said: II do not feel in
clined to disregard the recommendation
to mercy made by the jury. The crime
which the defendant committed was a
serious one. That great crime seems to
he one that demands IN emphatic SEN
tence. The penalty should be so severe
rs to express due condemnation, while
not SO severe as to excite sympathy. The
sentence Of the court is that the defend
ant he imprisoned in Sing Sing prison for
six years"

that It Will result In a great deal of
good to the state.

statehood She won't get another

much OF which to be proud. and doubt

grand success. The attention OF the
people all over the country would be
chilled to the sSate very strongly by
such celebration"
