cell, refusing to talk. They gave him
no treatment and were OF the opinion
that while he was very nervous he
did not show signs OF absolute col
lapse.
Aside from the break at nightfall,
Czoigosz spent his last day Of life
much as he did all the others since he
passed into the hands Of the law. He
remained sullen and silent, and passed
his time either lying on his bunk or
pacing up and down in his cell. He
suffered no loss of appetite during the
day and ate the usual allowance Of
food given to prisoners. He weighs
about 1856 pounds. which is slight
gain since his arrest

meet them. When they reached the
prison superintendent Collins con-
geyed the request for an interview to
the prisoner. Czolgosz sent back word
that he did not care to see them, but
the priests asked to be allowed to go
to him despite his refusal. They re-
manned with him for three-quarters OF
an hour, but he rejected all their ad.

merely stepped to the front of his
cage and said: Hello" The brother
ventured the remark, Il wish you
would tell us, Leon, who got you into
this scrape?"
The assassin answered in slow,
hesitating manner, mo one; nobody
had anything to 90 with 1t but me-"
THAT is not how you were brought
up" said the brother, "and you ought
TO tell us everything now"
Il haven't got anything to tell" he
answered, in surly manner.
"Do you want to see the priests
again. asked his brother. and he an
swered, with more vehemence than
he had previously shown:
mo; damn them; don't send them
here again; | oon want them"
The brother-in-law interjected here:
That's right, Leon"
The brother looked rather disturbed
by the answer Then, stepping up
close to the bars, the condemned man
said:
And don't you have any praying
over me when I'm dead. | don't want
it. | don't want any of their damned
religion"
There was a painful pause of few
minutes. Then the brother-in-law,
much to Superintendent Collins sur
prise, asked that he and the brother
be permitted to witness the execution.
Before superintendent Collins could
reply, Leon Czolgosz said:
Yes, Mr. Superintendent, let them
see me killed"
Superintendent Collins told the trio
in emphatic terms that no such thing
could be allowed. and ordered them
to say goodbye.

RoSy and Effects Destroyed.
The body was placed in a black
stained pine coffin, every part OF it
being replaced under the supervision
Of Dr. Germ and Warden Mead. Soon
afterwards it was taken to the prison
cemetery. andsgreat precaution taken
to destroy it completely. An expert
ment previously made by the warden
showed that quickllme was not active
enough in producing disintegration Of
flesh, and the warden at once con-
ferred with some of the physicians
present and superintendent Collins,
and it was decided that the purpose OF
the law was the destruction of the
body, and that it was not necessary
to connne themselves to the use of
quickhme. Accordingly a carboy OF
acid was obtained and poured upon
the body in the coffin, after it had been
lowered into the grave. It is the be-
lief of the physicians that the body
will be entirely disiniegra ed within
twelve hours. During tnat time and
as long as il is deemed necessary a
guard viii be kept over the unmarked
grave
The clothing and personal effects Of
the prisoner were burned under the
direction OF Warden Mean soon after
the execution.
Sympathizers Blackisted.
I superintendent Collins made the
following statement:
THE execution was one of the most
successful ever conducted in the state.
Extraordinary care had to be taken
in the case because both the warden
and received hundreds of threaten
ing letters many of them asserting
in violent and Incorporate language
that the prisoner would never be put

I present that we will not destroy any

destroyed, but it has struck me thar
perhaps we should make a list of

GREAT NORTHERN HOLD-uP PLANNED.
Three Desperadoes Captured at Hsvre
Who We're Heavily Armed.


Havre, Oct. 13.-Three men were
arrested here today on the suspicion
OF being In a plot to hold up a Great
Northern train. They came In from
the west on a freight train at Q
O'Clock this morning. 1t vas re-
ported that they had planned the
holdup to take place at Essex. in the
mountains, but did not like the lay
oil the land and abandoned the pro-
ject and came here intending to do
the work a few miles east OF here
near Chinook. When they were arr
rested by Town Marshall Bickle and
Great Northern Policeman Webb
they were each carrying a couple OF
big revolvers. They were disarmed,
though they were inclined to show
fight. They gave the name Of
Hooper, all three claiming to be
brothers.
The officers will not give any infor-
nation but the foregoing is believed
to be correct. All the men had
money ranging from $50 to $500. All
were very anxious to procure bonds.
All three are young and from ap-
pearances are desperate characters.

BETTER OPPORTUNITIES.

Senator Moses +. Clapp of Mime
sofa, in an address before the young
men of the Y. NJ. c. A, of st. Paul re-
Gently, gave them some good advice.
lie believes there are better openings
in the country for young men than in
the large cities, but says there are OPP
p~ortunities everywhere for those of
brains and character. lie said:
Il regret to see the young men of
this country thronging into the cities
The average of opportunity is higher
in the country. II you would start out
alone in business, you are debarred by
want Of capital, and II you go to work
for another you place a limitation on
your success. In the professions alone
a young man has the chance of adj
vanccment without capital, but the
professions are crowded beyond a liv-
ing. In the country he is able to start
in a small way and work up. But in
the city these conditions exist, and be-
ing here, we must learn how to deal
with them.
"A young man with no capital must
attract the attention of men that have
capital. 1t is idle to say that in this
day there is no opportunity for the
young man. Opportunity is ever open
ing through the death Of the captains
of industry, and through the growth
of great enterprises. Character is ever
in demand, and brains today bring q
higher price than ever before"

the state. While the law is manda-
tory that institutes should be held for
at least three days, it is a matter of
choice whether the schools shall be
closed or not TO enable teachers TO at
tend. This is certainly a peculiar state
of affairs. How can institutes be held
without teachers? II is like playing
Hamlet without the presence of the
Melancholy Dane"
The recent institute at Fort Benton
opened with ten teachers, but the num-
Der increased to thirty before the close
of the session. Upon seeking instruc-
ton as to what course to pursue from
the state superintendent office, the
superintendent of Choteau county was
told TO go ahead and hold the institute,
that the law was mandatory. II

superintendent and the j%anitor, the in

IDENTIFY.
II seems that as a result of the opin-
ion of the attorney general the sessions
will be confined to three days in the
future. But how does this affect teach
ers in remote parts of the county-say
Fergus county, for instance. While
the schools will be in session for two
days at county seats or where the in
~stitutes are held, il will necessitate the
closing Of the schools for one week TO
many outlying districts II the teachers
attend, as it will require a day or two
in travel to reach their destination. 1t
thus works a hardship TO districts that
could i'll afford to lose the time for the
benefits to be obtained in the three
days session. Heretofore teachers
could do their travelling on Saturday
and Sunday and have the benefit Of
nearly "A week of institute work. II

trustees in outside districts would be
justified in keeping the schools open.

WILD BILLS STATUE DESTROYED.
Stolen Piecemeal and at Last Thrown OFF
It's Pedestal.

Deadwood, S. D., Oct. l4.-Dead-
wood people are exercised over a
piece OF vandalism In the cemetery on
Black Rocks. One OF the interesting
sights In this city for tourists has
been the grave and statue OF William
Hickok, or "Wild Bill" A fine life
size bust Of the frontiersman and In
dian fighter was erected several years
ago by j. III. Rairdan, a sculptor. 1t
was carved out OF red sandstone and
was an exact likeness of the dead
man. The statue was not enclosed,
andconsequently tourists commenced
several years ago to cut away pieces
Of the nose, ears, mustache and long,
curly hair. The face was made hide
Gus ut last.
A few nights ago vandals entered
the enclosure and deliberately over
threw the bust from its pedestal.
Wild Bill was one OF the best-known
Indian scouts in the world and he
has many admirers. He was shot in
a saloon In this city on Aug. 9, 1876.
by Jack Mccall, who claimed that
Bill had killed his brother In Kansas

ROOSEvtIT'S CARRIER IN the wESI.
Was q Fine Rider and Was Well Liked BY
the CowpunChers.

L. A. Matthews, Of this city, the
northern Montana representative Of
the Twin City stock yards, is II OF
President Roosevelt's strongest ad-
mlrers ana has been su"h since 1882
1884 when the president was in the
cattle business ON the Little Missouri
range I'm western Dakota, says the
River Press. At that time Mr..
Matthews was In charge Of the Mar
quis de Mores' breeding outfit near
Medora, and MIR. Roosevelt, Pierre
Wibaux and the marquis had u mon
opoly of one of the finest ranges in
the west, rounding up together.
In 1881. when the Northern Pacific
was first built west of the Missouri,
Mr.. Roosevelt shipped in $500 2-year-
old heifers from Minnesota and turn
ed them out on the Little Missouri.
In lSS3-S4 just after the death of his
first wife, the president, then ayoung
man OF %. spent about four months
each summer at his COW camps, one
IL miles above and the other 10 miles
below Medora. Though a fine rider,
he was no cow hand and took no
part In running the outfit, but spent
most Of his time hunting the elk,
black-tail deer and other game then
80 plentiful In that section. He en-
tertalned parties Of New Workers for
short periods, but was alone most Of
the time, devoting himself largely to
the study of natural history. He
took strong ground for the protec-
ton Of the buffalo, a few small
punches OF which still ranged on the
lower Missouri, and announced his
purpose to discharge any one who
shot at them. The buffalo calves
were u good deal Of a nuisance to
the cowboys, as it was impossible to
keep them out OF the beef herds at
night, but Mr.. Roosevelt, with Mr..
Wibaux and the Marquis de Mores,
was willing to endure the i%nronven-
fence rather than see the herd exter-
minated-as 1t finally was, anyway.
In person Mr.. Roosevelt was rather
short, Of blocky build and was very
strong and wiry. He was extremely
short-sighted even then, always wore
eye glasses and was only q mOder-
ately good shot. He a an enthus-
last In discussing politics and history
and occasionally whiled away along
evening in h~alf-serious arguments
with dyed-in-the-woOl Democratic
cowpunchers from Texas. His edu-
cation. ability and genial manners
endeared him to all his men, who
frequently spoke of him as being las
common as an old boot" He put
on no airs whatever.
In those days rustlers were very
active along the Little Missouri, but
Mr.. Roosevelt never, as has been re-
