MACK STEWART MUST HANG.

Rawlins, Wyo.. April ia number
of people in this city who have endeav-
ored to secure the pardon Of Mack Stew
art, now confined in jail at Parral, Mexi-
co. under sentence of death for murder,
have been notified by the state depart
ment that nothing car be done to save
Stewards life. Stewart, who was a
former resident Of Rawlins and moved
to Mexico some years ago, while intoxi-
Gated, shot and killed a Mexican police
man who was endeavoring to effect his
arrest. The state department reports
that the American consul at Chihuahua
reported that Stewart had a fair trial.
1t seems that this was the second man
that Stewart had killed within two
years. In the first case he was liberated
through the efforts of the consul. The
secretary OF state is now Of the opin-
Jon that the department is not warranted
in taking tourther action in Stewards

WIN. Deane was at the Kaltenbach
shearing pens where there are at pres
ent about 20 men shearing sheep. Deaue
was on horseback; he saw four men
coming down the creek over the hill.
Deane took out his glasses and looked
to see who they were. He then rode
out to meet them and before he went said
somthing about shooting. 1t is report
ed that Deane met four men a day Or
two before and that they had exchanged
shots with him. 1t is only conjectured
that these were.the same men and that
he knew they intended to kill him. He
had been held up once near the Griggs
postotiice.
After riding toward the four men,
Deane dismounted and began to shoot.
They also Immediately opened fire.

shots in the back. The shots must have
taken effect almost Immediately for
Deane was dead when first reached.
From Is to 20 men as well as the courier
saw the shooting. The courier did not
give the names OF the men who. did the
shooting. He had been seen by the
sheriff and officers of the law and had
been requested by them not to give any
thing more than the above account for
publication in advance of the coroner's
inquest.

Jack Flagg set out for Powder river
Wednesday morning. On their retur
it will probably be possible to give a
more authoritative account of the oc-
currence.
Another witness to the killing. who
was in town Wednesday morning de-
clared that as many as seven men were
shooting at Deane. He says three of the
four men level their guns at him. When
asked the probable motive he said that
he thought the assailants believed that
Deane had it in for them They
thought he knew something against
them. Mr.. Deane was a deputy sheriff
at the time of the killing with full power
to arrest cattle thieves. He was a cool
and determined man, and though warn
ed that his life was in danger, refused
to leave his post. He was a native of
Texas but has been a long resident OF
Johnson county. He was also a member
in good standing Of the Junior Order OF
American Mechanics and his death

ashore near the entrance Of the guilt.
1t appears that the b~ombardment of
Prevesa only began at 1880 a. M,
whereas the Turkish forces there opened
a hot fire upon Actium at $50 a. m. A
column was formed at the telegraph sta
ton, but the building was converted into
a fort and was garrisoned by 500 men.
