LYNCH|NG IN WYOMING
G. F. Woodward Hanged by a
Mob at Casper.
TAKEN OUT OF JAIL
HE WAS UNDER SENTENCE OF
DEATH FOR MURDER.
Killed Sheriff, Who Was Trying to
Arrest Him for
Stealing.

), CASPER. Wyo., March 2S.-Charles Fran
els Woodward. the condemned murderer of
Sheriff William c. Kicker. was hanged
early today by an infuriated mob of 200
men.
Crowds began to gather in the vicinity of
the jail early last evening, and a mob was
formed.
About o'clock the mob descended on the
jail, and the leaders demanded the keys Of
the sheriff. He refused to give them up,
and the crowd then secured sledges and
hammers and beat down the jail door.
Once inside the Jail a rope quickly
thrown around Woodward's neck, and he
was roughly dragged from the building and
was taken block away and hanged to a
tree.
The whole proceedings occupied less than
half an hour. Considerable excitement pre-
. vailed, but little was said. Woodward at
tempted to talk to the leaders, but they
refused to hear him.
An immense crowd witnessed the lynch
ing Several hundred sheep and cattlemen
came to town during the day yesterday and
every corner was the scene OF a discussion
of the reprieve granted by the supreme
court.
After the lynching the mob dispersed and
q greater part of those from out of town
left for their homes.
History Of Woodward's Crime.
Woodward paid the penalty with his life
was committed on the evening of January
2 last at Woodwards ranch. near Garfield
Peak, in the Rattlesnake mountains, sew
enty-fve miles west Of Casper, when he
shot to death and mutilated the body Of
Sheriff William c. Kicker of Natrona
county.
Woodward. with his wife Bertha and
brother Clarence. was arrested last Novem-
Der on the charge of stealing clothing and
provisions from a ranch. 1t was alleged
that WoOdward's ranch was the headquar-
tiers of a band Of cattle and horse thieves.
At the preliminary trial Bertha Wood
ward was released from custody. The
brothers Were held to the district court, but
Were unable to furnish bonds On the night
of December 30. 1901, they sawed off the
bars of their cells and a window and got
away AT the stock yards east of town
Charles Woodward secured pistol which
had been placed there by friend. Near
Casper he stole a horse and rode to his
ranch. reaching there on the evening of
January 2, 1902
Found Sheriff at the Ranch.
Instead Of finding friends ready to assist
him. he found Sheriff Kicker and two dep
uties at the house. who Were looking for
him. He went to the barn, mounted one
of the sherirs horses and was about to
ride away In the dark when the sheriff ap-
peared and ordered him to surrender
through the body and the officer fell to the
ground mortally wounded. Woodward then,
1t is said, went to the dying man and
= struck him IN the face with his six-shooter
He took s45 out Of the officers pockets and
rode of. He was captured by a posse sew
eral weeks afterward near Billings. Mont,
and brought back to Casper. He admitted
the killing and was convicted and sentenc-
ed to hang today. Last Tuesday the ST.
preIne court granted a stay Of execution,
which would have given Woodward at least
three months more of life.

ALTERNATE MAIL PROPOSALS
New Zealand Herald

New Zealand Herald
During the passage Of the Post and
Telegraph Department vote through
the House of Representatives the
Southern attack upon the Frisco mail
service was renewed. II is true that
the attack necessarily degenerated IN.
to a mere demonstration of hostility,
for the existing contract does not ex.
piTe until next winter, but II served to
show that the organized opposition to
the best mail service we have ever
had is as vindictive as ever and is
prepared TO fight another pitched hat.
tie at the first opportunity. This is to
be anticipated, for the South Island
has got into the habit OF sacrificing the
general interests OF the colony for the
sake of insignificant local gains, and
has made up its mind that the sever.
ance of the Frisco connection would
be an excellent way of injuring the
port Of Auckland and OF breaking down
another of the natural advantages of
the North. For among our natural
Northern advantages is not merely 4
superior climate and a greater area OF
fertile land, but the closer time.connec.
ton with the United Kingdom which
we gain by every Improvement in the
Frisco route. AS we have repeatedly
remarked, we should hear a different
story from the South II the Oceanic
liners entered Lyttelton, We all know
that were this alteration of ports pos,
sible there would be a different tune
played by the South Islanders. Know.
ing this we may well hope that before
next session wiser and more patriotic
councils will prevail.
Sir Joseph Ward is in the always
unfortunate position of the man whose
commercial intelligence sympathizes
with the hare and whose political at.
iillations drag him along with the
hounds. Nobody in the colony is bet,
ter versed in the postal matter OF
routes, distances. speeds, rates and
tines Yet he already talks Of submit.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT DUTY.

The selection OF legislative candi-
dates to which the Republican organi-
zation has now to give its undivided at
tention is a responsibility quite as mo-
mentous as the successful work just
completed. In naming the candidates
1t is to be hoped the same idea in evil
dence during the sessions OF the Terri
torial convention will prevail. The well
fare Of the party should have preeed-
ence over all personal or factional in
terests OF any character.
This Territory must have in its legis-
lstive assembly, honest men, men OF
character, men in whose motives the
people can place implicit confidence
and only candidates who fulfill these
qualifications are deserving or should
have a place on the Republican ticket.
The Legislature TO be elected this fall
must not only repair the damage done
by the failure of two years ago. 1t has
also before II the most serious con-
structive work for the future which
any law making body ever called to-
gether in these Islands has had 10 per-
form. The best material which the
Territory can offer is wanted and as
the Republican party in naming
candidates approaches this ideal, 1t will
attract the suffrage Of the people ir-
respective Of previous party affilia-
tons.
