SUFFRAGE IN UTAH. i
Exciting Debate Over 1t in the
Statehood Convention.

I SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March
2S.-This has been one of the most eX-
citing days of the constitutional cou-
Vention. The woman suffrage question
was again before the convention in
ten minutes rule. Half dozen men,
bers gave way to Roberts Dem.), of
Davis county, who delivered a speech
against the measure. He referred to
the fact that the report was drafted
from the Wyoming constitution, a
state that has dark blotch on it's
history, that cruelty and savagery
have prevailed there in the wholesale
murder of helpless foreigners. Not
content with that, the committee had
referred to Colorado and Kansas. He
asked. why the constitutions of Vir-
ginia and New York were not pointed
out as models-states that had stood
the test for more than a hundred
years. He warned the convention that
after the constitution was ratified by
the people it would have to go to
Washington, and that the gentleman
who was given the high honor of pre-
siding over the convention might be
called on to produce his credentials.
NS"ih, lieho WAS lhe feature Oh the
silver question at the capital. This
feeling was not confined to the execu,
tive alone, but was almost universal
throughout the coast. More silver
senators were wanted. He appealed to
the womanhood of Utah to withdraw
the petition for suffrage.
Several speeches were made in fa-
vor Of the majority report Thurman
said the Mormon church was not in
politics. as it would leave political
parties alone if they would leave it
alone The question was still under
discussion when the convention ad-
journed.

5 FORT SMITH, Ark, March 2S.-
George Sanders rode into Braggs,
nine miles east of Fort Gibson, ats7
o'clock this morning and began rob-
bing the town. T. J. Madden went
out the back door of the store and
to Johnson Manning, deputy sheriff,
a mile away, and gave the alarm.
Manning and Hiram Stevens, an
other Indian deputy, came back and
found the outlaws at Madden's
store. A fierce fight ensued between
the deputy sheriffs and the outlaws.
McWilliams and Sanders were killed
and Butler was wounded, but he
made his escape. Joe Morris, clerk
for Madden, was shot through the
abdomen and mortally wounded. The
bodies of the outlaws were brought
here at noon to get the reward of
$3.50 offered for McWilliams, who is
better known as "Verdigris Kid"
and who was side partner of Jim
French. On his body was found a
pistol taken from a deputy at the
Correta robbery. BuZ Lucky was
on trial for the same robbery when
the body arrived, and was convicted
an hour later. Sanders has been a
desperate for several years, but just
joined Verdigris Kids band. Bill
Cook was brought out of Jail and
identified McWilliams.
MARSHAL BARBEE'S STORY.
William Barbee, the deputy Unit
ed States marshal who brought the
bodies. tells the following story of
the fight: This morning at 7:30 1
was sitting on the hotel porch at
Braggs, having just had breakfast,
when three men came riding up, and
hitched their horses in front of Nor
ris' store. Coming across the street
to the hotel, they made me hold up
my hands, and disarmed me. Find
ing that 1 was an officer, they
marched me to Morris store. and
said that as soon as they finished
rebbing it they would kill me. An
indian who was on the porch at
the time they held me up slipped out
and gave the alarm. He notified
the sheriff, who got posse and ad-
vanced to the store. AS they came
UP the robbers ran out and the fight
commenced. Williams and Sanders
were killed, and the other robber,
who was recognized as Sam Butler,
escaped, badly wounded.

SOMERSET, KY, March 28.-As all
the train robbers lived near Green
wood, there is much interest taken in
who is now away from home. At least
three escaped, and they are believed to
be hiding at their homes. The bodies
of the two dead robbers remained in
the depot at Greenwood until noon to-
sday. Collins were sent from here
Wednesday night The bodies were
taken away by ellison Tucker, son-in-
law of Jerry Morrow, the father; Dan
New, brotner-in-law of Tom Morrow.
the son, and Henry Nevels, a neighbor
of the Morrows. They will bury them
in the family lot. John Underwood
who was thought to be one of the BAN
dts, is said to be wounded, and. if
true, he is the man who was shot as he
was going up the bank. The fact that
Nose Morrow, another son of Jerry,
did not come for the remains of his
father and brother is held as proof that
ne was in the gang. 1t is generally
believed the officials know the names
OF those who skipped. Sam Frazier,
VINO tipped off the raid, was here to-
day, but soon disappeared. Frazier is
in danger until the other robbers are
captured. 1t is said that Frazier's
mother and the dead robber, Jesse Nor
row, were brother and sister The man
who signaled the train and climbed
into the cab, covering the engineer, re-
mained on the engine after the others
escaped. He might have been killed
or captured had the guards been aware
OF that fact. He stole away in the
dark. The jury impaneled by Coroner
Patton viewed the remains yesterday,
but no inquest has been held, and it
may not be until next week, as Special
Agent Griffin, who will be one of the
chief witnesses, will be busy several
days. 1t is hoped that Martin, the
tramp who was severely wounded, will
be able then to give his statement. He
is now lying in the railroad hospital
here, very low.

THIS CLINCHES IT.
Minneapolis Will Not Be the
Capital Of Minnesota This
Year.
In JUDICIARY COMMITTEE,
Flour City Has No Authority
to Give Away Loring
Park.
CAN'T GIVE A GOOD TITLE
And the Legislature Has No
Power to Confer Such
Authority.
CAN'T GIVE A GOOD TITLE

The house judiciary committee
last night decided that Minneapolis
has no authority to convey a legal
title to Loring park to the state.
That proposition was all right, but
the committee made another decis-
ion which cinches the matter, for
the second opinion is that it is be-
yond the power of the legislature
to confer such power.
There were several authorities and
decisions from a number of states
brought before the committee, and
only one of them, an Ohio decision,
favored the Minneapolis proposition,
all the others being against it.
The committee found that when
the property was dedicated for park
purposes the city entered into a
contract with the people, and this
contract may be broken by the city.
Any property owner might enjoin
the city from deciding the park to
tSe' S'Si tCiApeiy
party to the contract
The meat in the nut of the sec
ond proposition was that the legis-
lature has not the power to author
ize an illegal act.
There was considerable discussion.
the committee being in executive
session, before the first decision was
reached, and the committee decided
unanimously to report that: THE
city of Minneapolis has no authority
to convey a legal title to Loring
park to the state"
On the second proposition Mr.. Feig
did not remain to vote, and Messrs.
Smith and Dahl, both Hennepin men,
voted no. The second stanza OF the
song follows: THAT 1t is beyond the
power of the legislature to confer
such authority"
The report will be submitted to
the house this morning by Chairman
Underleak.

REDF1ELD, S. D., March 28.-
Redfield is not to be outdone by
others for sensations. The latest is
the appearance before the full board
of the Methodist church here at his
own request of Orville S. Basford,
chairman of the Republican state
central committee, and political ad-
wiser of Defaulter Taylor. Basford
reviewed his past life, confessed his
backsliding, and begged to be rein
stated to fellowship, that he might
resume his former calling as church
pastor. Basford has been a political
leader and schemer here for some
years. He was once a minister in
good standing, but went back into
the world. He is now in Missouri,
where he hopes to get into the church
conference. His reconversion is the
sensation of the day because of his
past political associations This ac-
ton of Basford is the fulfiIlment
of the second prophecy made by the
late Judge Howe, who declared some
years ago that William Walter Tay-
lor would never settle with the state,
and that Basford would play his last
card by going back into the church
and reSuming preaching.

CALDWELL DISSENTS.
Severe Roast on SanbOrn and
Thayer I'm the FindIayson Case.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 2S.-Judge
Caldwell today filed a dissenting opin-
ion in the case of Mary Findlayson
against The Utica Milling and Mining
Company, which will attract attention
in mining circles as well for the bold
ness of the opinion expressed as for
the severity with which he deals with
the majority opinion of Judges San
born and Thayer. The point involved
is the responsibility of employers for
the safety of employees. The plain
tiff's husband had been killed by a
falling rock that the foreman of de-
fendant company told him was not
dangerous.
Judge Caldwell says: "The doctrine
that a mining company can send it's
employees into the bowels of the earth
to conduct its mining operations with
out making any provision for the
proper supervision and inspection of
the mine for the security and protec-
tion of the miners and the mine. is
unsupported by authority. is opposed
to sound public policy, and is cruel and
inhuman.
The error of a majority Of the court
in likening the customary work in a
mine to the sudden calling out of men
to work after night in the brink of a
rapidly rising river when the bank is
caving in to save property from de-
struction by the flood, is too obvious
to require discussion. Upon the law
applicable to this case the majority
opinion is a direct and paIpable con-
fifct with the opinion of this court"
Judge Caldwell then discusses the evil
dence, in order, as he says, to correct
what he conceives to be total mis-
conception of the facts in the opinion
of a majority of the court" Judge
Caldwell then discusses the reasoning
of the opinion, and says that it is ''as
false in logic as 1t is unsound in law
This, he says, Is. "a cogent state
ment of a purely imaginative case"
