JUSTICE IN KLONDIKE.
Summary Execution of Brutal but Ner'y
Murderer.

SEATTLE. WASH. Feb. S.-"Boys,
string me up II you Ike, but rememper
you are hanging the readiest man win
a six-shooter that ever came out OF
Montana. You say it's all right to hang
me and I guess It Is. I'm only sorry
didn't get the rest OF them.
with these words Cowboy Doc" Tan
ner faced his eXcutioners on the morning
OF January 2d. at Valdes Pass.
The men who passed sentenced on him
were members of party OF Massachu-
setts prospectors bound FOR the Copper
river country, Alaska, and the crime for
which Tanner paid the penalty was the
killing OF y. A. can, OF Worthington,
Mimi, and William a. Lee. of Lowell
Mass.
The expedition consisted OF forty men
ana NJ. +. Tanner had Joined them at
Seattle on the way north He was sup
piled with an OUTFIT and taken into men,
Dership. but unmindful Of the fact he
was quarrelsome. So overbearing did he
become that his companions decided that
he must leave the party. on the evening
OF January lst. a meeting was held In
Calrs tent and during the conference the
statement was made:
I'VE must get rid OF Tanner, let him
take his share OF the outfit and shift for
himself We are up here for business
and mean IL. We mean what we say"
There were four men at the meeting
and no sooner had the remark been made
than the flap OF the little tent was pulled
aside. the cowboy stood there. slx-shooter
IN hand. Boys. | overheard your talk
about me- he said deliberately, I'm here
Tor business" Before his victims realz-
ed what had happened Tanner had shot
twice and the bullets pierced Call and Lee
through the chest. Tanner fired again.
but his preceding shot had extingulshed
the candle and the bullet did not take
effect. one OF the remaining members
crouched behind some baggage and the
other cutting his way out OF the tent
gave the alarm.
Tanner. supposng the three men 10 be
dead took a station m some brush and
waited. II was not long before he was
surrounded
YOU'D better surrender your gun"
was called out 10 him.
"If you say so boys. I'll do IT," was
his response and then he haded over his
weapon.
The miners al once convened and by on
overwhelming majority decided that TAN
ner should be hanged. When notified OF
the decision Tanner observed that he
hoped they would not tantalize him by
str'nging him up and letting him down
again before he was dead He was led
ont on the snow during the early morn
ing. He fearlessly allowed the rope 10
be tied about his neck and 20 met his
doom. Tanner was buried face down
ward.
A. C. Lobhe OF San Francisco who
witnessed the execution said he never
saw such an exhibition OF nerve.
Tanner declined 10 make a statement
other than 10 say that at nine years OF
age ne was left an orphan. Call and Lee
had families.

A looted Question.

Judge Roger 5 Greene Of Seattle il,
one OF the best known members of the
bar OF the State of Washington. He has
had wide experience both On and off tile
bench, and is looked up to by both law
yers and laymen as one of the first men of
the State. But this does not in the least
prevent the Judge from admitting the
truth of the following turn IN himself.
b. F. Dennison of Olympia, the state
and territorial capital, the oldest member
of the bar in that city. was once arguing
case before Judge Greene, when tie
latter was on The United States bench
In the course of his remarks, Mr. DENIM
son had occasion to refer to certain set
of reports of one Of the Philadelphia
courts, now very old and not often quot
ed. Judge Greene listened unlike some
other judges) and after a while said
"Mr. Dennison, | notice in tie reports
which you quote you pronounce the
name of the reporter as though it had a
final lie to it. What is your authority
for that pronunciation, Mr.. Dennison?"
'The spelling, your honor-B-r o. VINE,

'Well, Mr.. Dennison, my name has a
final e to it; you would not call me
'Greenie,' would you?'
THAT depends enterely on how your
honor decides this question" Harper s
