END OF A MAN KILLER.
Hanging of Doc Tanner on the
KlOndike Trail.

Seattle Wn., Feb, 3.-'Boys string me
up, if you like, but remember you are
hanging the steadiest man with 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 I didn't get
the rest of EN- With these words
Cowboy Doc Tanner faced his execu-
TONERS on the morning of January 2, at
Valdes Pass. The men who passed
sentence on him were members of a
party of Massachusetts prospectors
bound for the Copper river country,
Alaska, and the crime for which Tan
ner paid the penalty was the killing of
N. A. Gail of WOrthington, Mimi, and
William A. Lee of Lowell, Mass.
The expedition consisted of 40 men,
and Mr.. Tanner had Joined them in
Seattle on their way north. He was
supplied with an outfit and taken into
membership, but unmindful of the fact
he was quarrelsome and so overbearing
that his companions decided that he
must leave the party. On the evening
of January l, a meeting was held in
Calls 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 we
mean what we say
There were four men at the meeting
and no sooner had the remark been
made than the flop of the little tent
was pulled aside. The cowboy stood
there. six shooter in hand. Boys,
overheard your talk about me-" he said.
I'm here for business"
Before his victims realized 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 extinguished the
candle and the bullet did not take ef-
feet. One of the remaining members
crouched down behind some baggage,
and the other, cutting his way out of
the tent, gave the alarm. Tanner, sup
posing the three men to be dead, took
a station in some brush and waited. It
was not long before he was surrounded.
You'd better surrender your gun, -
was called out to him.
IF you say SO, boys, I'll do it," was
his response, and he then handed over
his weapon. The miners at once con-
vened and by an overwhelming major
ity decided that Tanner should be
hanged. There was some discussion
over the question of shooting him, but
the majority decided on the rope. When
notified of the decision, Tanner Observ-
ed that he hoped that they would not
tantalize him by stringing and let him
down again before he was dead.
He was led out in the snow during the
early morning. He fearlessly allowed
the rope to be tied about his neck and
so met his doom.
Tanner was buried face downward.
A c. Lobbe of San Francisco, who
witnessed the execution, said he never
saw such an exhibition of nerve. Tan
ner declined to make statement other
than to say that at years of age he
was left an orphan. Call and Lee had
families.

like to know if there is a business man
in Topeka who would like to have the
auditorium by the side of his business
house. I know that if it was built next

any one who has a residence want the
building near the house. The City park
is the natural location for such a build
ing, I shall propose to take around
two lists when the canvass for sub
ScriptiOnS is made and if a man says he
will not give if the auditorium is loca-
ted in the City park then put his name
down for an up town location. In that
way it will be found which is the most
practical location and I would not OBJ

WATER COMPANY FIGHTS.
Will Resist the Enforcement of the
New Rate Ordinance.

All doubt about the attitude of the
water company in reference to the new
ordinance making 20 per cent reduc-
ton in rates, was removed today when
the company through Rossington, Smith
& Dallas filed a suit for injunction in
the federal court to prevent the city
from forcing the new rates on the com
pany.
Judge Williams granted a temporary
writ and set the hearing for February
A.
There is no dispute about the city
having the right to reduce rates, the
only question being what is a reasona-
BILE reduction.
This is only another link in the chain
of endless litigation that has character
lied the history of the water company
during the past five years. While the
lawyers are wrangling the people will
be compelled to wait. All this proves
how necessary it is for every city to
own its own waterworks and all other
public utilities. All corporations of
this sort are stubborn and extortionate
