HOW LIVINGSTON TOOK 1T.
Some Pretty sharp Words sent over the
Wires Yesterday.


Special Dispatch 10 the standard
LIVINGSTON. June -. The past "a
hours in Livingston have been the most
exciting In the history OF tho city. Last
night the news was flashed over the
wires that Governor Richards had granted
Murderer Field, who was to have been
executed at o'clock this morning, n two
weeks respite, in order that an appeal
might be taken TO the supreme court. In
view OF the facts, IL was hard TO convince
the people of Livingston that the governor
had actually granted a respite at the
eleventh hour. Many thought 1t was
ruse TO prevent the gathering Of big
crowd around the jail yard at the hour
named for the execution, therefore, de-
spite the reported respite. o'clock this
morning found the jail yard surrounded
by people anxious to witness the first exc
cution in Park county.
After waiting a while the crowd left the
Jail yard and congregated on Main stree;
TO discuss the situation and await further
developments. II was soon known that
Sheriff Conrow had wired the governor
stating tina, unless tho papers OF reprieve
appeared before 3 o'clock in the afternoon
he would disregard the governors tele-
gram and proceed with the execution.
As the forenoon wore away and it be-
,"a' '"o ''"'' i,''' ,'0'ea

Livingston until O'Clock p. IN. and ihat
no special was on the way, the excitement
grew apace. A great mauy believed that
