JUDGE
WHO TRIED WoopARD INTER
VIEWED ON QUESTION OF
EXECUTION.
Judge eramei Declares That the Voice
Of the People 10 the Voice Of God
INC That the People Of Casper
Were Tried To the Limit Of
Their Endurance.

"Vox populi, vox Del" said Judge
c. w. Bramel of this city to the Lara.
mic correspondent OF the Cheyenne
Tribune when asked for his opinion
concerning the lynching of Woodland
at Casper.
Judge Bramel presided at the trial
of Woodland and loon after he came
home from Casper he said he feared
that il the supreme court gave Wood.
ard a stay Of execution or a new trial
he would be taken from the ofncers
and lynched.
Il am not a prophet nor the son of
a prophet" ne said but the temper of
the people was unmistakable. They
are a ~law-abiding people, than whom
there are no more law.abiding in the
state. but they were given the limit
Of their patience in the matter Of the
trial of the murderer of their beloved
sheriff. l told them when 1 went
there that Woodland should have a
speedy trial, withal a fair and impair
tial hearing, and under this promise
they kept their hands of the prisoner
and allowed the law to take its course.
"Woodard was given a fair trial, as
well as speedy and the finding Of the
Jury was accepted as the voice of the
court. Woodlands blood was demand
ed. and nothing short Of his execution
would do them. They were wronged
in the wsnton murder Of an of1cer in
whom they had placed their trust. and
the Biblical eye for an eye was to
them n Holy Writ.
The voice Of the people IL indeed
the voice of God, in this as in other
things that go to make up the sum
Of life, and the people can not be
fooled.
II would not be quoted at the time
OF my arrival home from Casper, at
ter the trial and conviction of the man,
but I say now that I feared Woodard
would not long enjoy a stay of xecu
ton. nor that no would be permitted
to leav the county II given a commu-
tation Of sentence to imprisonment or
for any other purpose.

UNLIKELY
THAT THE Kew otseRT REPAY
MgkT MGAsusE WILL PASS
THE HOUSE.
Opposed BY Many Members for the
Reason That Most Of the Claims
are in the Hands Of Agents Who
Have Agreed to Make Collections
for Haff the Money Repaid.

The following letter to Colonel 8
w. Downey from Congressman Mon,
dell in relation to the repayment OF
moneys paid on desert filings not prov
ed up on will be of interest to many
residents of Wyoming:
My Dear Downey: l am in receipt
of yours of March Gath relative to the
SO called desert land repayment bill.
The bill as it passed the senate does
not restore to the desert entryman his
right, now would 1t be possible In my
opinion, to get a bill reported out Of
the house committee that would do
that. In the house l have had the SEN
ate bill referred to a subcommittee OF
which l am chairman, and l am work
ing on the subcommittee to get a IA
vorable report, but I am by no means
hopeful. The members from the west
ern states are not all favorable to the
bill, and while l shall make every eff
fort to secure q favorable report can
make no present prophesies of success.
It has been pointed out that 4 few
claim agents have gathered In 4 large
proportion Of the claims In question
and u the bill passed they would be the
principal b%eneHeiaries, inasmuch ~
they are to get so per cent In the ma
jority Of cases. This fact being pretty
we'll known works against tho bill and
il we can get 1t favorably reported out
of the house committee 1t will prob
ably be with a proviso which will cut
out all recent assignments.
Yours very truly,

independence. Ia. Jan. "a scheme
said to be designed to defraud scores
of farmers in this part of Iowa has
Just come to light. 1t is estimated that
had the plan succeeded the promoters
would have cleared about $4,000. as
notes representing that amount have
been sent to the bank at Jesup, in this
county for collection.
Three months ago a stranger giving
the name of John Smith covered the
western and northern portions OF the
county and obtained the signatures OF
at least 300 farmers for various causes.
On Monday large number of signers
received notification from a Chicago
law firm to meet certain notes. At the
bank were promissory notes to the
amount Of $4,000 for collection bear
ing the names of about seventy men.
The notes revea led the scheme. 1t is
charged that blank sheets of paper
were signed and the promissory notes
were printed at the top afterward. The
farmers are united in their efforts to
fight the case.

Prussian Diet Hears Gloomy speech
From the Throne.


F Berlin Jan. 9.-The speech from the
throne, read by the imperial chancel-

the Prussian diet. took a gloomy view
of the economic situation. 1t pointed
out that the revenue from the state
railroads in 1901 falls considerably
short of the estimates and that the
whole results of the financial year are
disappointing.
In the budget for 1902 the revenue is
estimated below that of the current
year. but the balance between the rev.
tnues and the expenditures is to be
maintained without having recourse to
Il loan.
The speech announced legislation
providing for the housing of state
workmen and officials earning small
salaries Considerable credits are de-
manded for the extension of the state
railroads and the promotion and con
struction of light railroads.

force the French industrial classes to
abandon the struggle. America is only
beginning. The oldSworld has no idea
