TAKEN FROM CALLOWSALIVE
OPENED HIS EYES AFTER BEING
PLACED IN COFFIN,

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Bud Wilson,
a convict who killed R. H. Naylor, a
guard of a convict camp last Septem-
Der, was hanged today at Danville.
The trap was sprung at 9:45 o'clock

into a coffin. Before the lid was plac-
ed upon the coffin the body began
moving and Wilson opened his eyes

tremors. He was taken from the cot
fin by the deputies and carried up the
trap steps to the scaffold for the pur-
pose of hanging him again.
When the platform was reached the
body became rigid, remaining so fod

MAJOR VAN TEETs THE HAPPI
EST DuTcHMAN ON EARTH.
STAuNCHED WOUND
And Insisted on Prince Henry Beg
ging His Pardon as Well as
Her Own.

Lnodon, Dec. Ga dispatch to the
Evening News from The Hague pub
lished today says:
peace 'reigns again at the palace
and the happiest man in Holland is
Major Van Teets, who was wounded
in defense of Queen Wilhelmina, by
Prince Henry, or as all Dutchmen
now contemptuously style him, the
German
ivan 1'eets is one of the noble
youths who formed the body guard of
the smiling young queen when she
was married in February, and who
since have been at their royal mis-
tress' beck and call OF every occa-
sion. They pride themselves on their
servitude and in this matter of fact
twentieth century, their chivalrous
devotion to Queen Wilhelmina is a
pretty thing to see. 1t is whispered
that every mar of the ten handsome
youths who surround her majesty's
carriage when she drives abroad,
skate with her when she skates, ride
with her when she rides, and dance
attendance on her generally, has been,
at n time or another, over head and
ears in love with the dainty little lady
in whom Hollands hopes are center
ed.
"Oficial contradictions notwith-
standing, nobody at The Hague doubts
for a moment that the queen and her
consort have been at loggerheads
practically since the wedding. Prince
Henry is an unpleasant person. He
eats too much, drinks too freely, and
hunting occupies him far more than
his wife, and Wilhelmina, on her side,
is not a, woman to allow herself to be
neglected with impunity. It is said
that she staunched Van Teets'
wounds with her own hands, and in
sisted on her husband begging the
pardon of the Jonk Herr as we'll as of
herself before she would forgive him.
All the romance of the marriage of
Wilhelmina and the man she herself
chose has disappeared"

The DANISH WEST INDIES
Must Not coct Over 50, ZOO, 00O-Pen-
sion for Mrs. Mckinley
Hepburn Canal Bill.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Hepburn of Iowa today introduc-
ed his isthmian canal bill, which by
reason of his being the author of the
bill presented last year and his prob
able continuance at the head of the
committee, is regarded as the measure
which is to serve as a basis for action
by the house. 1t differs from the
making the total appropriation $780,
00O,O 600 instead of $14O, 900, 900 and of
this amount 100000 is made i'm
mediately available to begin work. In
some respects the bill follows the
lines of that of last year, authorizing
the president to acquire a right-of-
way from Costa RIGA and Nicaragua
and then to direct the secretary of
war to begin the construction from
Greytown on the Caribbean sea to
Brito on the Pacific ocean, with suit
able d%efenses, etc.
Representative Gardner of New
Jersey has introduced a joint resolu-
ton authorizing the state department
to purchase the Danish West Indies,
appropriating not exceeding 81, 0O0, 900
for that purpose. The resolution re-
fers to the desirability Of American
ownership of these islands under the
Monroe doctrine.
Representative Taylor of Ohio to-
day introduced a bill to pension Mrs.
Mckinley at the rate of $4,000 a year
beginning September IA, 1901, the
date of the death of the late president.

PUT UP A GAME BATTLE TO THE
END.
WADE is STILL CHAMPION
Put Helena Man Out in Eleventh
Round Of a Hard Con-
test.

piOn lightweight OF montana, won a
fercely fought battle here last night
from Jake Yanger in the 18th round.
The fight from the start was n of
skill at the boxing game against an
old ring general, who has a score of
knockouts to his credit. This was
Yanger's first appearance in the prize
ring, and according to the statement
of his friends it will be his last. Al
though credit is due Yanger for his
game battle against great odds. The
bout, which was scheduled to last 20
rounds, was begun at II o'clock, soon
after the arrival Of the special train
from Butte.
The betting was lively and started
off with Wade favorite at 100 to Is.
AS the fight progressed rangers stock
went up, ano many of his admirers
forced the betting until their mar was
favorite.
When the two men appeared in the
ring the opera house rang with the
cheers of the two factions. The fight
drs were weighed and found to be
within the required weight. Ed
Beadle was the referee, and Harvey
Foster official timekeeper, "Kid" Og-
lesby, Nose Lafontise and Jack La
fontise were in Wade's corner. Pug
Anderson, John Finn, Alex Goodman
and Ed fellows held the bottle and
towles for Yanger.
At the call of time both men fiddled
and looked for an opening. Yanger
landed his left on Wade's jaw, but en-
countered a stiff right hook that
brought I'm to the floor. He took near
ly the full count and came to his feet
slowly. Wade saw his advantage and
rushed his man about the ring. Yanger
ducked cleverly and displayed a fine
knowledge of the game. In the second
round Yanger surprised his man by a
terrific left to eye, which put Wade's
visual organ in deep mourning. Wade
changed his style of fighting and sent
hard right hooks to Yanger's wind,
which Redeemed the skin and caused
him great distress. Up to the eighth
round the honors were about even,
with Yanger gradually showing signs
of weakness.
In the next round Wade rushed and
landed right and left on the jaw. Yam
ger was covered with his own blood,
but stood his punishment gamely, oc-
casionally hooking his left to body and
head. In a mix-up in the 10th round
Wade sent his man to the floor with
a smashing right on the jaw. Yanger
came up groggy and the gong saved
him from a complete knockout.
The 18th round found Wade fresh
and very aggressive. He rushed Yam
ger to the ropes and sent his terrible
right to the jaw repeatedly. Yanger
went down, but staggered to his feet,
and again the champion swung for his
jaw for a knockout. They mixed it
up and Wade crossed his right to
Yanger's mouth and the fight was
over. Yanger vainly struggled to rise,
but before the referee counted the
fatal 10 seconds his brother threw up
the sponge.
Wade announced his intention of
arranging the fight with Jerry Nc
Carly of Walkerville just as soon as
possible.
