Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, February o
Late this afternoon the Criminal Court
completed the work of securing jury
in the case of State VS.. w. J. Goshorn,
after being engaged in it three days,
and when the court adjourned until
tomorrow, the counsel for the State
and defendant had made their state
ments to the jury.
The counsel for the State said they
would show that Goshorn was guilty
of grand larceny, in that he had stolen
district road orders amounting to 81
coo.
General st. Clair, of the counsel for
the defense, said they would show that
road orders alleged to have been stolen
are worthless; first, because they were
issued by one not authorized by law to
issue them, and that if they had been
legally issued, they would have been
valueless to any one for the reason
that they had been paid by the Sheriff
ana CdnC6lleu, tudt SooilSl IL nav nv
stolen these road orders, but had SIM
DIV taken them from the county clerk s
office to examine them, and that they
were taken with not only the knoWl-
edge of the clerk and his deputies, but
with their consent; that this prosecu-
ton had not been begun for the pur-
pose Of unfolding the law OF the State,
but was being pushed by Goshorn's
enemies for the sole purpose OF inJur>
ing him in the eyes of the public; it
is conspiracy formed for personal mo-
tives
The taking Of evidence will begin to-
morrow morning.
The State is represented by Frank
C. Burdette, prosecuting attorney, S.

R. Thompson, the latter of Hunting

FRANCIS G. CRADLE"

New York February 3.-John S. Sill
yer, one of the men whose borrowing
from the Chemical National Bank led
to the resignation of Cashier Quinlan,
said to-day that he did not owe as
much as he had been said to owe, but
whatever the sum was he would pay
it.
The directors of the bank were in
session all to-day discussing means of
recovering as much may be possible of
the money loaned by Mr.. Quinlan.

the truth Of a statement that on

Bank had accepted demand note Of
s2C1 500 from Cradle, agreeing at the
same time not to press Cradle for the
money.

Seattle, Wash, February 3.-"Boys,
string me up if you like, but remem-
Der you are hanging the steadiast
man with a siX-shoOter that ever came
out of Montana. You say it's all
right to hang me, and | guess it is.
I'm only sorry l didn't get the rest of
them"
With these words Cowboy Doc Tan
ner faced his executioners on the
morning of January at Valdes Pass.
The men who passed sentence on him
were members of party of Massa-
chusetts prospectors bound for the
Copper river country, Alaska, and the
crime for which Tanner paid the PEN
atty was. the killing of n. A. Call, of
Worthington, Mimi, and William A.
Lee, of Lowell, Mass.
The expedition consisted of forty
men, and M. F. Tanner had Joined
them in Seattle on their way north.
He was supplied with an outfit and
taken into membership, but, unmind
full of that fact, he was quarrelsome
and SO over bearing that his compan-
ions decided he must leave the party.
On the evening of January / a meet
ing was held in Calls tent, and during
the conference this statement was
made:
1--WE must get rid of Tanner; let
him take his share of the outfit and
shift for himself. We are up here for

There were four men at the meeting,

made than the flap of the little tent
was pulled aside. The cowboy stood
there.

Boys, l overheard your talk about
me- he said, deliberately I'm here
for business"
Before his victims realized what had
happened Tanner had shot twice, End
the bullets pierced Call and Lee
through the chest. Tanner fired again,
but his preceding shot had extinguish
ed the candle, and the bullet did not
take effect. One of the remaining
members crouched down behind some
baggage, and the other cutting his way
out of the tent, gave the alarm. Tan
ner, supposing the three men to be
lead, took a station in some brush
and waited. 1t was not long before
he was surrounded.
You'd better surrender your gun"

was his response, and then he handed
over his weapon. The miners at
once convened, and by an overwhelm-
ing majority decided that Tanner
should be hanged. There was some
discussion over the question of shoot
ing him, but the majority decided on
the rope When notified of the decis
ion, Tanner observed that he hoped
they would not tantalize him by string

before he was dead. He was led out
into the snow during the early morn

A. c. Lobbe, of San Francisco, who

Boulde r. Second voluntt er..

Bodlder's second volunteer company
will appear at the city council chamber
to night at 8 o clock for drill for the first
time. Some of the men are we'll drilled
already, but the majority are recruits
who will receive instructions in the rudl-
ments of military tactics. The men will
be in charge of Capt. Crary, Ist Lieut..
Grant Safely and 2nd Lieut.. ]. H. O'Brien
all of whom are experienced military
men and who will no doubt make it the
crack company of the second regiment.
Capt. Crary is an ex-major of the Nat.
ional Guards and has had eight years ex-
perience in the service. He was captain
of H. company during tn trouble at
Cripple Creek and major of the 3rd Bat
talon at Leadville during the recent out
break there. He has a clean military
record and it is rumored that when the
organization of the regiment is com.
pleted he will occupy prominent place
among the line officers.
First Lieutenant Grant Safely is we'll
known here and needs no introduction
to the people of Colorado. He was born
in May, 1860 and has lived here ever
since. In 1884 he entered the Highland
Military Academy at Worcester, Mass,
where he received first class training. In
1887 he joined the National Guard here
and was acknowledged to be one of the
best drilled men in the Guard during his
term of service. when he was discharged
as first sergeant.
Second Lieutenant ]. H. BERT O Brien
is the congenial grocery clerk at the
Babcock Co. He has had three years
of service IN the National Guard and
was discharged as sergeant. He will
make good officer and will have the
respect and regard of all under him.
Taking everything into consideration
there is no reason why Co. D should not
be the crack company of the state. Cor.
has been started with sew.
eral eastern firms regarding the cost of
uniforms, as it is the project to equip the
men as soon as possible.
