OCTOBER 29, 1901,
The Assassin of President William
Mckinley Will Be EIectrocu-
ted, So Said the Judge
At Buffalo.

Buffalo, Sept. 26-Lson F. Czolgosz,
assassin OF President Mckinley, was SEN
fenced at 2:1O o'clock this afternoon to
be electrocuted week beginning Octo-
Der %.
According to the law of this state, Oc-
tober % is the very earliest date that
could be fixed for the execution. The
invariable custom is to carry out the
law on the Monday morning OF the week
set
It is therefore almost certain that
Czolgosz will be put to death on the
morning OF October 29. '
half an hour before the opening OF the
court the room was filed and the doors
wers locked, and after l 80 no one but
officials connected with the court and
newspaper men were allowed to eater.
About 25 OF the $50 spectators wore
women.
At 2:05 o'clock the prisoner was
brought into court shackled to Detectives
Geary and Solomon, accompanied by Az
sistant Superintendent Cusick and Jailer
Mitchell.
Czolgosz was persl iripg and seemed
nervous though he did not tremble and
his gait was steady. He mopped his
brow with his handkerchief. When he
settled back in his chair, his wonted list-
less attitude was gone. he kept his
eyes wide open and looked around him
occasionally.
"Czolgosz," said the court, you have
committed a grave crime against the
state and our nation in the assassination
of our beloved president. After learn
ing all the facts and circumstances in
the case twelve good men have pro-
nounced you guilty OF murder In the
first degree. You say that no one abet-
ted you in the commission of this terri
bio act. The penalty is fixed by statute
and it becomes my duty to impose SEN
tence upon you. The sentence Of this
court is that in the week beginning Oc-
tober %, at the place designated and in
the manner prescribed by law, you suffer
the punishment OF DEATH"
Czolgosz was taken from Buffalo to
Auburn state prison tonight to await
death by electrocution. Sheriff Cald-
we'll and sixteen mon took the prisoner
in special car attached to the regular
Now York Central train. The train left
at 1O:O6 pm, and the railroad officials
said that an effort to reach Auburn at
2:12 o'clock would be made, which was
schedule time.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
The Rocky Mountain World Con.
siders the Gunnison Tunnel
and the Good II will Do.

One Of the most important irrigation
enterprises ever undertaken in the state
is that by means Of which the waters Of
the Gunnison river arc to be diverted
to irrigate the broad and fertile but arid
valley Of the Uncompahgre.
Western Colorado is very unlike the
eastern part of the state in its physical
makeup. 1t consists for the most part
OF high mesas or table lands that are in.
tersected by deep and usually narrow
valleys or canons through which dow
the streams. The western slope is su-
perior to the eastern in its rainfall and
consequently is superior also in its vege-
tation and in running water. In most
of the western valleys, especially in those
Of the larger streams, there is a surplus
Of water above that which can be used
for the irrigation OF lands in the same
valley This is notably the case with
the Grand, the Gunnison. the White and
other streams. But it 10 not the case
With the valley of the UncompshRre.
which is a broad and comparatively level
region quite beyond the capacity Of the
river for sufficient irrigation.
AS the topography OF the country is
favorable, it will be seen that the condi-
tions exist for successful irrigation ex-
pertinent on large scale, and the Unit
ed States, as we'll as the state govern
ment, are already committed in favor OF
a project that will add greatly to tho ag-
ricultural wealth of the state.
The water is to be taken from the
Gunnison at some point IN the Black
canon below tho junction OF the Cimar-
ron. and will be conducted through
tunnel n ,arly mile in length to point
on the Vernal mesa, from which it will
be distributed for use in the Uncompah-
gre valley. Tho survey work will be
done Jointly by the state and the United
States, and it is proposed that the work
OF digging the tunnel and ditch shall be
done by convict labor.
The cost of the tunnel and ditch to the
state will be Offset in very short time
by the direct income from water rights
and the increase In taxable property in
the region that 10 to be benefited by the

Osteopathy.

Judge Lindsey, Of Denver, has
decided that osteopaths were not
meant to be included in the law,
rs to the practice of medicine.
According to Judge Lindsey, they
are exempt from the regulations
which govern people who practice
medicine. Others must have
licenses, but osteopaths do not
need them. The Judge says oste-
opathy ought to be given chance,
anyway, and if it is good it will
survive; if bad it will die. He
says that the attempts that have
been made in recent years to reg
ulate it's practice, notably the law
passed which Governor Orman
vetoed, shows definitely that the
Legislature which passed the medi-
cal practice act could not have
meant to include osteopa,hs.
