DETAILS OF ROBBER LYNCHING.
More Lives Are Likely Yet to he
Sacrificed.


CHEYENNE, March 7.-(Special Tele-
gram,,-Additional details received here to-
night from Rock Springs of the reported
lyrching of the three Robbers Roost outlaws
are as follows:
Valentine Hoy's body was brought to Rock
Springs today and shipped to Fremont, Neb.,
Tor burial. Mrs. Hoy accompanying the re-
mains.
Hoy was shot through the heart by the
outlaws and died instantly. his body lying
on the rocks forty-eisht hours before being
removed. David Liant and Harry Tracy. two
escaped convicts from Utah. and Patrick L.
Johnston. who murdered the boy William
sltrang at Hoy's ranch. were the desperadoes
who ambushed and killed Hoy. Hoy was
shot on the afternoon OF March 1. The next
morning Jack Bennett. an associate and
sentinel for the outlaws, was captured. He
was lynched the next morning at 10 o'clock
near LAHORE, Colo, by about twenty-five
masked men. who took him from Deputy
Sheriff Farnam OF Colorado. Bennett pleaded
for his life, promising to tell all he knew.
He was told that 1t was too late, that he
had lived too long already. Harry Tracy.
David Liant and Patrick Johnston were
captured by Deputy Sheriff Peter Swanson
| OF Rock Springs. assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Farnham Isham Dart, Joe Davenport and
| Springs. also known as Robbers Roost. /"
They showed fight, but finally surrendered.
! Johnston was the first to throw up his hands
Tracy and Liant are prisoners OF Colorado
and Johnston of Wyoming. There is, how
| ever, small possibility OF the courts of either
| state being bothered with them. There are
| 100 armed men in Browns Park determined
| to deal with them as they did with Bennett.
| It will take extra precautionary measures
| on the part OF the officers to bring their
prisoners in alive. and there is little expecta- =
| tion that the lynching of the entire outfit
can be prevented

Opening Argument In the Case of
sheriff Martin.

sheriff Martin.
WILKESBARRE. Pa, March 7.-The be.
ginning of the end of the trial OF Sheriff
Martin and his deputies for the shooting OF
the strikers at Lattmer attracted the largest
crowd that has yet been present, Attorney
Scarlett Of counsel for the commonwealth
opened the argument for the prosecution.
He held that the strikers had perfect right
to march on the public highway and that
Sheriff Martin and his deputies had no right
to shoot down the strikers. He asserted that
the strikers had committed no act OF violence
and consequently declined to disperse when
the sheriff read his proclamation, notwith-
standing that the sheriff told them: "If you
are determined to go to Lattimer you will
have to go over my dead body"
John T. Lenahahn. chief counsel for the
defense, followed Mr.. Scarlet. He continued
until the court adjourned.
In the morning Mr.. Palmer will make the
closing plea for the defense, and District
Attorney Martin will finish for the common
wealth. They will probably take oil day to-
morrow. and Judge Woodward will deliver
his charge on Wednesday.

SEEKING A SCANDINAVIAN UNION
swedish and Norwegian Committee
Submit Their Reports.


STOCKHOLM, March Tho Swedish and
Norwegian committees on the union of
Scandinavia submitted their reports to the
Parliament today. The Swedish committee
recommends a common foreign minister,
who may be Swede or Norwegian, but
not member of Parliament. He is to re-
side in Stockholm. The Swedish committee
also proposes the creation of foreign coun-
Gil OF state to be composed of ten Swedes
and two Norwegians; that the foreign min
lister be impeachable before the supreme
court Of the united kingdom and that,
finally. the diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives be common in both countries.
A majority of the Norwegian committee
recommends that each country contribute
toward the expenditure of the foreign min
istry In proportion to the population Of both
countries for fifteen years, and that then
each country be entitled to demand a dis
solution of the consular union.
The minority OF the Norwegian committee
recommends a separate foreign mission and
separate diplomatic and consular representa-
tion.

Necessity Of Changing Seed Wheat.

WATERFOWL, s. D., March 7.-(Spe-
cial)-W. H. Stokes of this city has been
experimenting with seed wheat and the de-
ductions from his tests will undoubtedly be
of benefit to the farmers of the state. He
recently planted four varieties Of seed raised
in this state and North Dakota last season
in boxes where the atmospheric conditions
were as favorable as possible One variety
was from Potter county, one from North
Dakota. one from Deuel. county and the other
from Codington county. From 100 kernels
of the North Dakota seed ninety-six spears
were produced; from the same number OF
the Potter county wheat came ninety-hve
spears; the Deuel. county product brought
forth sixty-seven spears, while from that OF
Codngton came but fifty-four spears. This
is an uncommonly poor showing for the grain
| raised in this section Of the state, but the
last season was very unfavorable to the
eastern portion of South Dakota. The ex-
perlments, however, have fully demonstrated
| the necessity of eastern South Dakota farm
ers changing their seed this season to in
| sure a normal crop. Most of the farmers
| Of Codington county have already arranged
| for seed from the western counties Of the
