DEATH.
Mrs. Conway of Meeteetse Accused Of
Poisoning Her Husband.

Jesse Conway, who had been in
Meeteetse for some three weeks under
the treatment Of DR.. Bennett, died very
suddenly Thursday morning, say the
Big Horn News. He was being treated
for typhoid-malarial fever, and was
considered o to be in danger. On
Tuesday night a sudden change occur
red and DR.. Bennett was called in, and
after 4 thorough examination care to
the conclusion that the case required
an antidote for opiate poison. This was
prepared and a nurse left in charge
with specific instructions as to giving
the medicine and care of the patient.
The desired result was fully realized.
and Wednesday morning he was out of
the stupor and danger of the night be-
fore. The same change occurred again
Wednesday night. and IN being called
in DR.. Bennett found the patient in the
same condition as the night before, only
a great deal worse. Everything was
done to relieve HIM without avail, and
at i:30 Thursday morning the sick man
passed away.
The strange circumstances surround
ing the death became known and JUS
tice Mikkelson was asked to empanel a
coroner's jury and hold an inquest.
This was done and Drs. w. S. Bennett
! and c. Dana Carter held a post mortem
examination Saturday morning. On
Saturday evening the coroner's Jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that Con-
way came to his death on the Goth day
of October, 1898, and that the cause OF
death was the result of an overdose OF
opium. in some form. and that the same
was administered by his wife, Belle
Conway, as we verify believe, with
criminal intent"
Mrs. Conway had been with her hus-
band continuously and the fact that
she would at times allow no one in the
sick room. coupled with the sudden
change Of the patient and his symp-
toms at these times. first caused sus-
picion that afterwards led to the inves-
tigation.
Immediately after the verdict was
handed IN a warrant was placed in the
sherif's hands for Mrs. Belle Conway,
who was taken in charge at her home
on Meeteetse creek.

Selecting c:gar. by Color.

80
One of the most absurd fahs Of the
cigar trade is that of color in reference
to havanas. The idea prevails that color
is indicative of strength. 1t is no such
thing. A light or medium colored cigar
IL not necessarily mild OF medium in
flavor, for the simple reason that the
color refers to the outside wrapper only.
which in itself is Of very thin substance,
and in quantity Is Of very small proper
tion to the other materials that make
up the cigar. As = natter Of fact, the
filters and bunch wrappers will deter
mine the body or strength of the cigar.
The actual strength nr otherwise Of the
inner body Of the ciear-viz, filters and
bunch wrnppers-is too often an nm.
known ~qsaEtity. 1t il quite txus that
q statement may te made that these
parts are % randi or . mixture Of this
and that and give u certain ash, etc,
but this explains nothing. Not only are
there various grades of the same tobacco
in relation to quality, but there are also
a variety Of grades that determine
strength. With the exception that Ger.
tain tobaccos have varying degrees of
body or otherwise, a mild, medium or
full cigar 10 largely a matter of chance.

Through his non-partisan rulings
while on the bench, Judge knight in
Cured the enmity Of politicians, and
at the last convention of his party they
sought to humiliate him by refusing
him a denomination. As an independ-
ent candidate Judge Knight went before
the people and received more votes than
did his two opponents 0bOth regularly
~nominated) combined. 1t was a won
derful vote of confidence. The News
Register was the only paper in the dis
trict that supported Judge Knight.
On February 16. 1876. Judge Knight
was married to Miss Mary l.. Hizlip at
Saint Peter, Mimi. The result of this
union is five children. three girls and
two boys. The family residence in Ev-
anston is one of the largest and most
comfortable in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THE THINNER MA RKET.
II Ii = UniNue Affair Held at Aber

1t II = Uni~ue Affair Held at Aber-
dcen. Scotland.
On the last Wednesday of August cv-
market" held in the Castle square in
Aberdeen, Scotland. Some so or 60
years ago nothing could be bought at it
but wooden articles, from which arose
the name Thinner" Now. however, it
is the Scotch housewives last chance of
getting her berries for preserving. Ev.
cry patron Of the market knows that
after that month the only chance of
fruit is gone; hence the rush. Great and
small, rich and poor, alike turn Out.
Booths set to the best advantage and
numbering perhaps 200 are arranged in
rows. ample room being left for the buy
ers and pleasure seekers between. Fruit
stalls, old clothes dealers, shooting
ranges, wheels of fortune-every thing
to make a penny-can be found there.
Schools and colleges have no recognized
holiday on that Wednesday,. yet the
average ''med" is a regular attendant.
Up and down he parades, blowing his
trumpet in the lace of every IL he
meets and looking the very picture of
happiness.
By Z O'Clock the "tarry rope" lamps
are lit and the fun commences. Country
"bumkins" fetch their "lasses' and
buy them candy and pears or whatever
is wished for, provided that the cost
does not exceed s%ixpence. The elite of
both sexes mix with the crowd and
treat, the one the other. When all is
about sold out, the students start for
home with a rush, upsetting the stalls
as they go. Nothing Of course is said
by the police, it being Thinner" day.
Should any II be SO absentminded as
to forget the months and the days there
Of he has no doubt whatever from the
head splitting noise of the last Wednes-
day in August.

JUSTICE AND MERCY
AN EVEN-HANDED JUDGE WHO
PRESIDED OVER THE THIRD
DISTRICT.
Despite the Vaccinations of Politicians
He Was Retained in Office and
Therefore Must Be a Mar of More
Than the Usual Caliber-Demo-
cratic Opinion of Judge Knight.

A judge who tempers justice with
mercy, and who is continued in office
despite the Vaccinations of politicians,
must be a man of unusual caliber. Es-
peCially is such a one entitled to respect
and confidence when, through his own
e%Xertions, he attains a position of
prominence. Such a man is Judge Jesse
Knight of the Third judicial district of
the State of Wyoming. In every sense
is Judge Knight a self-made man. So
well known is he throughout Wyoming
that fulsome eulogy would be absurdly
inappropriate. No higher commenda-
ton can be bestowed upon him than to
say that he enjoys to the fullest extent
the respect and confidence OF the peo-
pie of the state, regardless Of political
Affiliations. Born in Boonville. Oneida
county. New York. July ). 1850. Judge
knight is consequently nearing the
completion of his forty-sixth year.
When he was 10 years of age. his par
ents removed 10 western New York and
Jesse spent two terms at the FaIley
seminary, Fulton. New York. When
he was 16 years of age he was sent to
reside with a wealthy uncle in Mime
sofa. Two years of idleness did not
suit the young man and he consequent
ly departed for Omaha, Neb.. during
the month of April, 1869. In the latter
city young Knight gave an unusual ex-
Within six months after his arrival in
Nebraska's metropolis. he had arisen
from a lowly position to that of head
bookkeeper in a large mercantile estab-
lishment. After two years service as
bookeeper. the present judge started
for Wyoming, reaching South Pass
