FUNERAL OF THOMAS J.
MURPHY THIS MORNING.

The funeral of Thomas j. Murphy.
son of NJ. H. Murphy, was held this
morning at 9 o'clock from the Catholic
church. The attendance of sympathiz-
ing friends and acQuaintances was
very large and there were many ex-
pressions of sorrow over the untimely
death of the popular young man. Mr..
Murphy died Sunday after a short i'll
ness with pneumonia. Despite an ath-
letic constitution the disease could not
be successfully combuted.
The fire department had a meeting
last night and made preparations to
attend the funeral in a body. Clad in
their uniforms the tiremen this morn
ing participated in the funeral process
sion and attended the services in the
church and followed the body of their
valued member to the grave Mr.. Muir
ply had been a member of the organ
ization since he was a mere boy and
his long services were highly valued.
The Laramie lodge of Elks. to which
Mr.. Murphy belonged, turned out in
full force to show their respect and
brotherly sorrow. Their floral tribute
was one of the most handsome pre-
scented.
The funeral procession was a long
one. many carriages following the
marching Elks and the firemen. At
the church Father Cummiskey con-
Quoted the services and the church
was filled with people.
The pail bearers were Thomas Blair,

The SHOOTING.

The Shooting.
At last Gustavsen got his arm free
and began to shoot. He shot six times
in all. as rapidly as he could. One
just above the elbow. Another struck
his seventh rib on the left side and
penetrated his lung and then Larsen
dropped to the ground. Gustavsen
kept on shooting and BaXtrum cried
out in rage. Give me the gun. I'll get
the - But Gustavsen emptied the
revolver and, it is supposed, threw it
away. While all this was going on
somebody had seer the row and hur-
ried into town to give the alarm. 1t
was nearly midnight, but Sheriff Yund
was quickly found and was soon hur-
rying to the scene. He came to where
the wagon stood in the road and not
far from it a a was lying. The sher-
if leveed a revolver at the %crouching
figure and commanded him to throw
up his hands. In response to this or
der the mar threw his coat up over his
head and covered on the ground. Mr..
Yund at once took him in charge and
a little later the wounded man was re-
moved to town in the wagon.
In County Jail.
Both men were placed in the county
Jail and Dr.. Miller was summoned to
care for Larsen's wounds. 1t was
found that he was in bad condition and
it was expected that he would die at
any time The bullet was determine
to be still in his left lung. The other
witnesses of the affair with the eXcep-
ton of BaXtrum came to the city jail
and gave themselves up. but the lat
ter could not be found. He was still
missing till late this afternoon when
he was found and taken into custody.
The revolver has not yet beer found.
G~ustavsen say he knows nothing of
what happened last night after the
party climbed into the wagon and
started homeward. He has a black
eye and several scratches on his nose.
He is about 40 years old. unmarried
and his relatives live in Sweden. He
has been working on the grade but
four months and came here from Spo-
kane. He say he never knew Larsen
till they met at McDonald's camp.
They We're always good friends, he
says, and occupied the same tent at
the grading camp. 1t is said that Gus.
tavsen was almost dead drunk when
he was taken to the Jail last night. He
is perfectly sober today but cannot or
will not shed much light on the sub
ject of the tragedy.
Larsen is unmarried and has no rel
atives in this country except a cousin
in Chicago. His father and mother
live in Sweden.
At a late hour this afternoon Lar
sens condition was reported to be pre-
carious and it was thought doubtful
that he would survive the day.

BULLET
IN LOUIS LARSEN'S LUNG TELLS
THE STORY OF A
DRUNK.
Party of Labors From Meoonald's
Camp Come to Town, Drink Them
selves Into a Passion and End Up
With a Tregedy-Alfred Gustav
sen in Jail Charged With Murder.

Louis Larsen is in the county hospi-
tai and there is a bullet in Louis Lar
sens lung. Alfred Gustavsen is in the
county Jail and there is a black spot in
Alfred Gustavsen's memory. With the
exception of a few black eyes scatter
ed artistically among the various
members of the party these are the
only evidences of a somewhat novel
manifestation of grief which was in
dulged in by a delegation from Nc
Donald's grading camp yesterday
1t is expected that the charge Of
murder will be placed against Gustav
sens name on the sheriff's books be-
fore morning: for Larsen is doomed
and cannot live. A bullet in the lung
is generally recognized among physi-
clans as an unpleasant complication.
Larsen is expected to die about day
light tomorrow.
The PitiabIe Story.
The story is somewhat confused be-
aus of the fact that the persons who
should tell of it we're drunk when the
events hal make the story were en-
acted. Certain bare outlines of the
plot. however, are easily gathered and
they resemble with almost photo
graphic accuracy the same old story of
human frailty and human passions.
There was a funeral in Laramie yes
terday and a party of laborers from
McDonald's camp anne down to at
G~ustavsen. Louis Larsen, Hans Bax-
trum, Michael Olsen, Louis Nielsen and
Nels Madsen. They reached Laramie
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
and after they had attended the fun
eral began to drown their SORROWS. AS
it often happens. they found that their
SORROWS could swim. An entire after
noon spent in mixing whisky and beer
an outrageous combination, as every
bartender knows-resulted in the en-,
tire crowd being fully intoxicated.
They managed to keep out of trouble
! while in town and in some way got
istarted for their camp. They all clamb-
cred drunkenly into the wagon and
Baxtrum drove the team of horses.
Trouble Began.
All went well for a few minutes but
about the time they reached the spot
where the wagon road southwark
| crosses the railroad spur running to
the plaster works the trouble began.
| Gustavsen objected to BaXtrum's man,
ner Of driving. Olsen defended Bax-
trum and vowed that Baxtrum was a
veritable Jehu, or words to that effect.
G%ustavsen then began to call Olsen
hard names and Olsen struck Gustav
sen with his fist. The two men sat on
the same seat and in the very midst
of the party. There was a great
! clamor of curses in two languages and
the team was allowed to jog along in
eon quarreled.
Presently Gustavsen and BaXtrum
combined forces and threw Olsen out
of the wagon. They followed him out
and the dispute was renewed with
much drunken Keeling and incoherency.
Gustavsen threatened to shoot Olsen
and pulled a revolver from his pocket
Larsen tried to prevent it, being a lit
tie less intoxicated than the others
But Gustavsen was determined and the
revolver was brandished in the air and
Gustavsen became steadily more fur

Just what is going to happen to the
girls of the senior class is still a
matter Of doubt but the prevailing SEN
timent is that they will be allowed to
finish their education-not that it is
needed, but just for the great glory
and honor of the university.
AS was related in The Republican
yesterday the girl members of the sen-
ior class are in rebellion. They had
furnished a study room on the third
floor Of the main building and they
thought they owned it. President
Smiley thought also; and his thought
did not coincide with their thought.
So the senior girls have several
thoughts coming.
Senior Study.
When they found that the rest of the
college objected to the noises of then
studying-senior studying always was
a laborious and rackety process-they
resented the intervention and heaped
the furniture and the decorations in
the middle of the floor, like a funeral
pyre. Then President Smiley locked
the room and now the girls are bor-
row pencils and pens and books from
funny freshmen and cynical sopho-
mores and jeering juniors and forgiv-
ing members of the faculty.
There was a meeting of the faculty
last night to consider the case anu
there is an apparent inclination to con
slider the lite fracas as merely an out
burst of hysteria, not dangerous or set
ious in any way.
