STORM LOSSES ARE LIGHT
Damage TO wyominE sheer InsiEni-
hcant,and Prices for Wool
Better Than Last Year.

CHEYENNE. wyo., April 25-(special)-
Reports from the range country today do
not warrant the predictions made by q
morning paper that there will be severe
losses among sheep throughout the state as
a result OF yesterdays storm.
Snow fell to a depth Of several inches at
Evanston, Granger. Green River and Rock
Springs. Rawlins received a little snow and
some Of the eastern towns in the state also
got some. but in most sections the storm
was nothing more than a cold, drilling
rain.
During the night the storm clouds brooks
away and today the sun is shining bright
and warm. Sheepmen say no damage will be
done by yesterdays storm as hockms sters
in most sections had taken precautions
against just THE kind Of weather. Should
the cold spell continue for several days.
they say, there may be some losses among
lambs, but the indications are that the state
will be visited by no more cold weather at
present.
Shearing is progressing rapidly at Cas-
per, Wolton. Fort steele and the other
shearing points in the state. Wool buyers
are on the ground and the clips are being
disposed Of at satisfactory prices. In most
cases nockmasters are receiving from ] TO
? cents per pound more this spring than
they did a year age.
At Casper more than 1000, 900 pounds OF
wool has been sold already. while at Fort
Steele, Rawlihs and Rock Springs an equal
amount has been purchased by the eastern
buyers. The percentage Of wool being held
for higher prices is very small as compared
with former years, growers being satisfied
with present prices.

FIXING IT Up FOR FUSION
Democrats and Populists Decide on Same
Time and Place for Convention.
GRAND ISLAND GETS THE Two-RING SHOW

LINCOLN, April 23.-tSpecial telegram
The democratic and p~opulist executive
committees met here tonight and after
several hours OF elaboration agreed TO
have the state nominating conventions
held in Grand Island on June "a. The
basis Of representation in the democratic
convention will be one delegate for each
county and one for every leo votes or
major fraction thereof cast for w. d. Old
ham in 1900. giving a convention OF 1.21C
delegates. The representation in the pop
ulist convention will be one for each 100
votes or major fraction thereof cast for
William A. POINTER, giving a convention OF
1924 delegates.
II. D. Travis OF Plattsmouth was chosen
for temporary secretary Of the democratic
committee.
The committees met separately at the
Lincoln hotel. only the one date was pro-
posed, the members OF both committees
favoring an early convention and June "a
being accepted in the discussion as the
most advantageous time fon the convention.
AS to the place for the meeting there
was a wide difference Of sentiment. The
democrats FIRST decided on Lincoln and no.
tioe Of the action was sent to the populist
committee. Former Secretary Of State Por-
ter was to the front in the latter organi-
zstion with a plea in favor of Grand Is
land. c~ontending that a convention at that
place would bring out many p%opulists of
the Fifth and Sixth congressional districts
who would not otherwise attend. Wilbur
F. Bryant urged the designation of Omaha,
but was sadly in the minority. After a
few minutes discussion the %populists de-
cided on Grand Island and so notified the
democrats. Each committee was obstinate.
but finally at IL 80 the democrats gave way
and accepted the terms of their fusion
brethren.
The action OF the committees in deter
mining upon Grand Island was a surprise
to the outsiders, as 1t was generally sup
posed that there would be no opposition to
Lincoln.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. April 23.-(special)
The information is gathered from lead
ing ockme here that the cattle industry
OF wyoming is in a fattering condition.
due TO a great extent to the late winter.
which was very favorable throughout.
There were no losses to speak of either
among cattle, horses or sheep and among
cattle the loss was comparatively nothing
The ranges remained fairly good through
out the winter and late SHOWS and early
rains have started the grass in all sections
much earlier than usual.
There will be no shortage Of marketable
cattle when the shipping season opens
and II any change from last season the
shipment will be heavier.
This will be accounted for by the fact
that owners held back everything last sea-
son that was not in prime condition, with
the result that larger numbers Of fine beef
cattle will 90 to market from Wyoming this
year than last, especially il the season is
a good one for grass.
Wyoming cattlemen who range their

May Not Prosecute Negro's slayer.

LARAMIE, wyo., April 23.-(speciaI.)-
In all probability no arrests will be made
in connection with the battle with two
negro tramps at Buford last week and the
killing Of one of them by the train hands
and gravel pit employees. The county at
torney has been advised to not bring &C
tion against any OF the railroad men, as no
jury could be found that would convict
them. II would be a difficult matter TO
learn who fired the shot that killed Harris.
The negro was running away and the rail-
road men were pursuing him, firing their
guns the while. A large number of shots
were fired and it would be next to impossi-
bic to charge the killing to any one OF the
half dozen employees. Conductor John Ca
hill denies that he fired his gun while in
pursuit Of the two negroes at Buford. He
says he chased them for a short distance,
but his wind gave out and be turned his
gun over to his brakeman without firing a
shot.

DOMINATING Sentence for Fear
some Time i'm Future Prisoner

LINCOLN, April 23.-(Special D-Governor
Savage this afternoon granted a reprieve to
William Rhea until July 10, 1903. He gives
his reasons in the following statement for
taking this action:
The foregoing ~reprieve of William Rhea
Is issued because ! believe after a thorough
investigation OF all the facts involved, that
II is doubtful If the death penalty ought to
be imposed upon the SAID William Rhea.
At The same time ! am reluctant to COM
mute the sentence to imprisonment for life,
for the reason that history shows that in
many cases a lie sentence In the p%eniten-
u4rE does NOT mean ~connnenent LOT ne.
IN NY opinion the said William Rhea
ought not at any time to be given his lib
erty. ! grant a reprieve for this long time
In order that the coming legislature may
have an opportunity to amend the Law re-
lating TO Tardons and Communications, II II
sees Mt to do so, and direct that this eN-
planatn)u OF my action be recorded in the
records OF the state penite1tiary, and also
in the office OF the clerk of the supreme
court
Rhca Accepts Conditions.
Following is the agreement signed by
Rhea:
J. William Rhea the prisoner mentioned
in the foregoing reprieve, having read the
same and being fully advised and aware
Of the meaning thereof. do hereby volun-
tarily consent thereto and hereby accept
and adopt the provisions and conditions Of

preme court OF the state of Nebraska. and
that the r%epriave and this approval thereof
and said proof Of said witnesses may there
