The Officer Let Him "Change His
Shirt" and He Fades

The county commissioners called upon
the county attorney today for an opinion
concerning the salaries of constables,
and the matter was placed in the hands
Of Chief Deputy Stivers for reply. The
question is rather a knotty one. Silver
Bow county allows each of it's constables
$500 a year provided that amount is earn
ed, but in case a less amount is earned
only the latter is paid. In 1897 Constable
Tim Lowney of Justice Traps court
earned $253.40 and was paid $685. 80. In
1898 he earned $653.S s and received from
the county $442. 55. This made a total Of
1892. S5 for the two years when the earn
ings aggregated 1912. 80, and the law al
lowed hin $1,000. He now asks for the
difference between what he earned and
what he was paid.

READY FOR
THE JURY
Joe Shafer Will S ION Know
His Fate.
ARGUMENTS A MILE LONG
Made For and Against Him--Con-
molly R0asts Perjurers to
a Finish.
ARGUMENTS A MILE LONG

With the exception of the arguments,
instructions tc the jury and the verdict,
the trial Of Joseph Shafer for the murder
finished yesterday afternoon. When court
convened this morning the county attor-
ney addressed the jury. He mentioned
the fact that at Columbia Gardens dur
ing the night before the tragedy Shafer
and Hawkins had trouble and the former
had fired two shots at the latter. Shafer
had murder in his heart and did not get
it out until he had shot Hawkins, which
was several hours after the Columbia
Gardens affair. The gun taken from
Hawkins, he said, was the one used by
Shafer, yet witness for the defense had
endeavored to convey the impression that
the Weapon belonged to Hawkins. After
being shot, Hawkins had wrenched it
from his assailant without knowing he
had been fatally shot. The only material
testimony introduced in behalf of the de-
PENDANT was that given by members Of
the Silver Bow club. They said Shafer's
character was good when he worked as
a waiter at the club. Five years ago his
character might have been good or 1t
might have been bad. In the opinion of
the speaker Shafer was an illustration
of DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde. When wait
ing upon gentlemen in a place where he
had to be good he was all right, but
turned loose in Galena street, he was a
wild Texan cowboy.
Mr.. Connolly paid his respects to some
Of the witnesses for the defense whom he
suspected of having trifled with the truth
while on the witness stand. Among other
things, he said a perjurer was the worst
criminal on the face of the globe. Bur-
glary arson or any Of the crimes in the
calendar We're not to be compared with 1t.
Some of the witnesses for Shafer had
sworn to things they knew were not true,
but did not dare go too far. And some
of the witnesses were missing. Among
the absent ones was Eva Smith or Eva
Shafer, who had found it very convenient
to be out of the city just now.
Ed S. Booth compared Shafer as a weak
man physically n Hawkins as a Her
cules. He said that John l.. Sullivan was
ugly when drunk, and Hawkins was just
like him. No man Of ordinary strength
| would allow Sullivan when drunk to get
hold Of him, and Shafer looked upon
Hawkins in the same way.
Booth talked until noon.

Lind no longer stands between the

attacked on April II while guarding
the railroad. This message is said to
be as follows:

ASK RECOGNITION
Aguinaldo, Through Consuls at
Manila, Seeks Recognition by
the Powers.
Old Claim That Spain Was
Conquered Before American
Intervention.
Washington Officials Say They
Do Not Fear Any Action by
Europeans.

MANILA, Aug. $3.50 p.m.-Aguin-
aldo has appealed to the powers for
recognition of Filipino independence, y
in document dated from Tarlac, July
81, and signed by Buencamino. 1t has
been received by all the foreign consuls
in Manila, with the request that they
forward it to their respective govern
ments.
The Filipinos used their old argument
that they had conquered the sover-
eighty of these islands from Spain be-
fore the signing of the treaty of Paris
and therefore, Spain was In no position
to cede them to the United States.
They argue that the possession OF 1000
Spanish prisoners, captured, with their
arms, fighting against the Filipinos, sis
eloquent proof of the nullity of Spanish
sovereignty, SO when they surrendered
ISpain's hold was irrevocably lost"
Reply to the Spanish Commission.
The document then says: Replying
to the Spanish commissions requests to
release the prisoners because Spain no
longer has political interests in the
islands, we asked for treaty of peace
and friendship between Spain and the
Filipinos, whereby the prisoners would
be released. But, the commissioners
refused, because it would mean a
recognition of our independence. This
is equivalent to saying that the prison
ers must stay in our hands indefinitely,
because their possession is our most
ef1icacious method to adjust our account
with Spain and obtain from her recog-
milton of our independence"
The t'ilipinos claim that they con-
quered all the country except Manila,
and that they co-operated in securing
the latter's capitulation by surrounding
it at the cost of thousands of lives. They
also claim they conquered the country
unasisted, except for 60 guns that Ad-
miral Dewey gave Aguinaldo, and that
Admiral Dewey and the British and
Belgian consuls recognized the Fill
|pinos' sovereignty by asking for pass
ports to visit the country. They repeat
the claim that they have letters from
American consul and generals recogniz-
ing their sovereignty, and promising
that the Americans would recognize
their independence, (which was at the
disposition of the powers"
The Filipinos' attempt to make CAPT
tai of the statement that Admiral
Dewey had such confidence that Aguin-
aldo would observe and fulfill the rules
of war that he gave him hundred
Spanish prisoners which the American
navy had captured.
Finally, the Filipinos appeal to the
powers to influence Washington to
b1ng to termination "the unjust war
which is devastating the country"

speechIess With Rage.

Strong emotion, says Darwin. Elm
terrupts the steady flow Of nerve force
to the muscles" This prevents the
proper working Of those muscles which
are used in speaking; hence the STUN
bling and indifference Of the speech.
The voice sticks in the throat" to use
the words of Virgil In some cases
speech is for a short time impossible, as
is seen where person Is said to be
''speechless with rage. The hoarseness
of the voice is due partly to the fact
that Dasssss:.H1n causes an overaction Of
all the organs, partly by the fact that
for generations harsh and fierce sounds
have been made use of to terrify oppo-
nents in quarrels. and SO have come to
be associated instinctively with anger.
Possibly the fact also has its influence
that the utterance Of sounds such as
those referred to is in some way or the
other relief to the feelings.

Long before the war General Butler,
who was then struggling young law
yer, lived up in Massachusetts, manu-
featuring town. He had displayed abil-
ity at college, but had to wait the usual
number Of years for his first case. At
last young girl who had worked in a
cotton mill came 20 him for redress
against her employers She had been
discharged without wages, and on a re-
guest for three weeks wages was un-
tremendously thrust from the door.
The case looked blue, for the firm was
a very rich one, but she needed money
badly. She offered Ben one-half to col
lect it.
The next morning, while on her way
to look for employment, she came upon
a great gathering at crossing. She
inquired what was the matter and
learned that the factory she had left
had shut down for the first time in 80
years. Wondering what could have
brought about such a state, she passed
on and presently met Butler. He was
leaning against a'lamppest whiting d
stick.
"TsalF right" he called, waving his
knife witha jaunty air. Tsall fight.
