BREATH OF THE BLIZZARD
Thousands of Cattle and Sheep Perish
In the West

CHEYENNE, Wy, April 16.-One of
the worst storms in recent years has
been in progress here for the past IS
hours. Snow began to fall early Mon
day morning and several inches were
added to the large amount already on
the ground. The snow is light and a
high wind has drifted it badly.
Three locomotives were demolished in
freight wreck at Borie, 20 miles west
of here, caused by two trains being una
bic. to see each other on account of the
binding storm. Traffic was delayed
five hours.
The live stock losses from this and
former storms are enormous. Reports
which have been lacking up to this time
show that thousands of cattle and sheep
have been lost. One ranch alone lost
2,500 head of cattle and another lost
5000 sheep All the small ranchmen in
western Nebraska and South Dakota and
eastern Wyoming have lost heavily.
The temperature is now near zero.

CAPT. CAPTER'S CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
United States Opposes His
Application For Bail.
MAKES GENERAL DENIAL

| Government Declares Carter Is Mem
tally and Physically Sound and
That He Is Not, as Alleged. on
Verge of Collapse.
WASHINGTON, April 16. Solicitor Gen.
eral Richards today filed with the
United States supreme court a brief in
opposition to the application for bail
filed about 10 days ago in behalf of
former Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter, now
confined in the United States peniten.
ttary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, upon
conviction of fraud in connection with
harbor improvements, ETC., at Savan.
nah, Ga. After reviewing the history
of the case, the solicitor general says,
in part:
1.-The validity of Carters conviction
and sentence by the courtmartial, which
alone could try him for crimes commit.
ted as an officer of the United States
army, in violation of the articles of war,
has been sustained by three civil courts
and five judges, not counting this court,
before which the matter is now pend
ing for the third time. Carter now ap.
plies for the suspension of the just sen.
tence Of this lawful tribunal and asks
to be released from imprisonment pend.
ing the hearing Of this second appeal,
upon the following grounds
First, because he Is suffering from
neurasthemia and is on the verge of
nervous collapse by reason of mental
anguish, owing to his Imprisonment.
Second, because he is innocent of
the charges on which he was convicted
by the cOurtmartial, and the only way
he can establish his innocence, so he
says, is by pressing to trial the charges
embraced in the Georgia Indictment,
which he asserts cannot be tried because
OF his absence from Georgia"
General Denial.
AS TO the first ground, the solicitor
general submits an argument tending
to show Carrer's sound mental condi.
tion, and files with the court the affida.
Wits of five physicians who examined
Carter and affirm in declaring that Car.
ter is not suffering from neurasthemia;
that he is not on the verge of nervous
collapse; that his nervous condition is
not greater than one would expect to
find in a healthy person of Carriers
standing confined in prison.
Atlantis further say that Carter is now
physically and mentally sound. This
affidavit is supplemented by affidavits
from the warden and physician of the
prison.
The allegations in the second ground
for release are also denied

MRS. CABUS WAS
NOT MURDERED,
Coroner Hears Evidence and Gan Find No
Cause for Further Suspicion, So
Case Is Dropped.

After hearing the statements OF Dr..
Henry John Fisher and neiEhbors Of
Mrs. Carrie Cabi>. who was found
dead with her pet dog Juggling a, her
bloody throat. Coroner Bausch decided
to-day that the murder theory WAS not
tenabie and tina, nc would order no

Or. Fisher In an extended statement
stuck 20 his contention that Mrs Cabus
had died from an apoplectic .troae. !se
said ne had not made n thorough cx-
animation Of the wounds in her throat
as they were superficial. and size had
not los. enough blood through them
to have materially weakened a woman

was bleeding on the noor. Mrs. Broa-

Undoubtedly Mrs. Cabus was cutting
meat for her dog when she felt one OF

despair she either cut ne. taroat with
the knife or did so unirtentionally in
her paroxysms.
when Mrs. Brodhead found her she
