who was getting it hard. At the same time
Colonel Wood and Major Brodie took the
lef. wing and advanced in open order on
the Spanish right wing. Major Brode
was wounded before the troops had ad-
vanced 100 yards. Colonel Wood then took
the right wing and shifted Colonel Roose-
welt to the left.
In the meantime the fire of the Span
iards had increased in volume, but not
withstanding this, an order for a general
charge was given and. with yell. the
men sprang forward. Colonel Roosevelt,
in front of his men. snatched a rifle and
ammunition belt from a wounded soldier
and, cheering and yelling with his men,
lets were singing like a swarm of bees all
around them, and every instant some poor
fellow went down. On the right wing
Captain McClintock had his leg broken by
a bullet from machine gun. while four
of his men went down. At the same time,
Captain Luna, of Troop F, lost nine of his
men. Then the reserves. Troops X and E,

capture that blockhouse.
That charge was the end. When within

"I had been sick at my monthly
periods for seven years, and tried

without any benefit. Was troubled
with backache, headache, pains in the
shoulders and dizziness. Through my

The highest income received during

The highest income received during
any one year by the state land board
of which Governor Osborne was prest-
dent, was about 1890. But the in
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment OF Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year. 1897. the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing Of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $36, 9S2.89 In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government. without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands. BALTIC acres. for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue OF s17.Oss. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
of Wyoming the annual expenses OF
the county government to the tax pay
ers of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum Of 1870, 909.51. AS a result Of wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result OF the thorough and
examiner. and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the number OF counties
has been increased. the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 09S .93, or a saving OF over
$4,000 per nnu to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention Is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be COL
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws OF this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income of the state has been
increased over a year of the Osborne
administration from $1,000 to the sum
Of $4,000. These are but instances Of
the progress made by the state and

payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and aminis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John e.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress. for neglect OF duty in leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history OF the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house OF representatives
on the adoption Of the declaration of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
Is a paryt that fulflls its pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, we fear no criticism, but sub
NIT our record to the most scrutinizing
investigation.

Women In a Baptist Church.
William Henry Theodore Durrant, who
was hanged at the state prison at San
Quentin Friday. gave his life in exchange
for the lives OF two young women, who
were members OF the church to which he
belonged. While Durrant was convicted
OF but one murder under the law, he was
murder Of both Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams. and II is felt that his death
expiates one crime as much as the other
Blanche Lamont disappeared on April
8, 1895, and was never seen alive afterwards
She left the home Of her aunt, Mrs, C. G.
Noble, on that day to go to school, and for
ten days no trace Of her could be found
Many members Of Emanuel church assist
ed In the search for the missing girl and
among others was Theodore Durrant, who
had often acted as Miss Lamont's escort.
Ten days had passed since Miss Lamont
disappeared, and her friends had almost
given up hope of ever knowing her fate,
when discovery was made which led to
the finding of Miss Lamont's body.
The ladies of Emanuel church were en-
gagged in decorating the edifice preparatory
to the celebration of the Easter Sunday
services, when the inangled body OF Minnie
Williams was found, almost naked. in tho
library. A number Of ugly knife wounds
and some rags that had been forced down
the young woman's throat told OF the un-
honor.
The trial. which began on July q and
lasted until November /, was one Of the
most celebrated in criminal Jurisprudence.
Nearly 1920 talesmen were examined be-
fore jury was secured, and six weeks
passed before the taking Of testimony was
begun. The evidence throughout was cir
cumstantial, but when taken together
formed chain so strong as to admit Of no
reasonable doubt.
The case was submitted to the Jury on the
afternoon of November !. 1895. after having
been on trial over three months. Twenty
minutes after they left the courtroom the
jurors returned and rendered verdict OF
guilty In the first degree. The California
law gives the jury power to fix the punish
ment Of the criminal but as no recon-
mendation of mercy was made, Judge
| Murphy, few days later. sentenced Dur.
rant to be hanged on February q, 1885,
