Nearly 100000 Acres Anected-Land
VIII BE Open to MineralEntry Only.
An immense area of Wyoming is in
volved in decision rendered Friday
by Assistant Commissioner Richards of
the general land office, on recon-.
mendations for the suspension of the
agricultural entry of 153 townships in
thea Douglas land district, additional
to twenty-four townships suspended
by the Commissioner November 10.

The decision relieves from the sus-
pension four of the townships sus-
pended November 10, 1900; suspends
forty-two townships from agricultural
entry, and denies requests of petition
crs for the suspension of the remain
ing townships. The forty-two town
ships now suspended aggregate 967,-
670 acres.
These townships, according TO the
decision, appear to contain oil in pay

existence of oil as would Justify their

COLUMBIA BEATS CUP CHALLENGER SHAMROCK ii
In MOST EXCITING YACHT RACE EVER SAILED.
Columbia Crosses Line ThyOne Seconds Ahead Thirty Mile Race
During Which the Contending Yachts Were Abreast
Nearly the Entire Distance

AS a spectacle the contest was SUI
perb. From the time the two sky
scraping racers crossed the starting
line until they fed across the finish
line four and half hours later. the
result was in doubt, and the excite
ment aboard the excursion feet in
creased until men became frenzied and
women almost hysterieal,
So evenly matched were these two
scientific racing machines that never
after they started were the riva
shippers out of each others hail, and
more than three-quarters of the time
they were SO close that Charlie Barr,
who had the tiller aboard the Column
bia, could have tossed a biscuit to
Captain Sycamore on the Shamrock.
For miles as they beat their way to
the outer mark the black shadows OF
Shamrock's huge club topsail was
painted on the mainsail of the Column
bia, and for an hour on the run home,
with the yachts flying like scared deer
before the wind, they ran almost beam
and beam, as if they were harnessed
together.
The result of the race makes the
possession of the cup matter OF grave
doubt. There are five races to be run,
the conditions of some of them being
in favor of the Shamrock, and SO even.
ly are the boats matched that the
slightest accident or error will decide
the race. Races are scheduled for
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The
cup has been in America half a CEN
tury, and its loss would now be keen
disappointment.

entered the Auburn state prison.

came worse aud he was dragged up
stairs and into the main hall. He was
placed in sitting posture ON the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, eyincing the most abiect
terror.
AS soon as the handouts were un.
locked the man was dragged into the
principal keepers office. As in the
case OF all prisoners, the officers imme-
dlately proceeded to strip him and put
on new suit of clothes. During this
operation Czolgosz cried and yelled,
making the prison corridors echo with
evidence of his terror
The prison physician, DR.. John Che
rim, examined the man and ordered his
removal to the cell in the condemned
row. which he will occupy until he is
taken to the electrical chair The doc
tor declared that the man was suffer-
ing from fright and terror, but said
that he was shamming to some extent.
The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise to every one, En- route from
Buffalo he showed no indication of
breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
Il am especially sorry for Mrs. Mo-
Kinley."

most unusual case reported TO the

who was tried by a general court
martial at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, on
the charge Of 'using disrespectful
words against the president of the
United States in violation of the four
teenth article of war"
1t appears from the evidence that
when the news of the shooting of
President Mckinley was received at
Fort Ethan Allen, Devine expressed
great satisfaction over the crime and
applied an uncomplimentary >pithet to
the late president.
His comrades handled him roughly
before he could be secured in the guard
house. He was found guilty of the
charge by the court and sentenced to
be dishonorably discharged from the
service of the United States, forfeiting
all pay and allowance due him, and to
be confined at hard labor for one year

SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED
ON M'KINLEYS ASSAssIN
VIII Bs Eiectrocuted During the Week
Beginning October 2S-Prisoner
Breaking Down.

Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of
President Mckinley, was Thursday
afternoon sentenced to be electroeu ted
In Auburn state prison during the
week beginning October 2s, 1901. Be-
fore sentence was passed the assassin
eVineed desire to speak, but he could
not get his voice above a whisper, and
his words we're repeated to the court
by his counsel.
There was no one else but me-" the
prisoner said in whisper No one
else told me to do 1t. and no one paid
me to do it. / was not told ything
about the crime, aud l never thought
anything about it until couple Of
days before committed the crime"
Czolgosz was quite calm. but it was
evident that his mind was flooded with
thoughts of his own distress. His
eyes were dilated, making them appear
very bright. His cheeks were trifie
pale and his outstretched hand trem
bled.
There was an expression Of the pro-
foundest fear and helplessness in his
eyes. He glanced about at the people
who crowded the room in efforts to get
look at him. The prisoners eyelids
rose and fell tremulously, and then he
fixed his gaze upon the floor in front
of him.
In passing sentence Justice White
said:
In taking the life of our beloved
president you committed a crime
which shocked and outraged the moral
sense of the civilized world You have
confessed that guilt, and, after learn
ing all that at this time can be learned
from the facts and circumstances of
the case, twelve coed jurors have
found you guilty of murder in the first
degree.
"You have said, according to the tes-
timony of credible witnesses and your
self, that no other person aided or
abetted you in the commission Of this
terrible act God grant 1t may be SO.
The penalty for the crime for which
you stand convicted is fixed by the
statue, and it now becomes my duty
to pronounce this Judgment against
you.
"The sentence of the court is that, In
tho week beginning October 2s, 1901,
at the place, in the manner and means
prescribed by law, you suffer the pun
ishment of death. Remove the pris-
oner."
Czolgosz was removed to jail and in
the evening started for Auburn, where
he was placed in the state prison at 3
a. m. Friday. Upon entering the state
prison he collapsed.

Reported Attempt to Desecrate Tomb of
Mckinley.

A guard at McKinleys tomb at Can
ton, Ohio, Sunday night fred on what
he claimed was a man seeking by
stealth to reach the vault in which
the body of President Mckinley lies.
The officers say the man is sincere and
give him good name, but they gen.
orally believe the lonliness and strain
OF the situation unnerved him, aud
that he was frightened and in a condi-
tion to give full credence to stimulated
inauguration. One of the officers how
ever believes the privates story. Fol-
lowing is the account given out.
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top of the vault at point COM
manding the entrance below and the
approach from the rear.
Shortly before 1880 o'clock he saw
what he took to be the face of man
peering from behind a tree, about forty
feet from his post. He watched it for
twenty minutes, he says, and at 7:45
saw the man hurry to the tree ten feet
nearer. He challenged the man to
halt, but this was not needed, and the
fellow approached nearer.
Deprend leveled his gun and aimed
to shoot for effect, but just at that in
stant another man, who came toward
him from the opposite side, caught the
gun, threw it up and the bullet was
spent in the air.
This same man struck Deprend on
the right side of the abdomen with q
knife or other sharp weapon, cutting
an 'L'-shaped cash in his overcoa: an
inch and half long each way, and
a small one in his blouse.
The flesh was not broken, but was
bruised under the clothes. Deprend in
the struggle fell and rolled down the
side of the vault.
When the guards reached the scene
no trace of the intruders could be
found.
