manded TO know what he was doing in

volver, ran screaming into the hallway,
where Williams received her with another

Hiatory 0E the Crime.

' The crime for which Charles Francis
Woodward paid the penalty with his life
&As committed on the evening Of January
2 last at woodward's ranch, near GARFIELD
peak, in the Rattlesnake mountains, fifty
FIVE miles west OF Casper, when he shot to
death and mutflated the body OF Sheriff w.
G. Kicker OF Natrona county.
=. woodward, with his wife, Bertha, and
brother, Clarence, was arrested last No
vember on the charge Of stealing clothing
and provisions from a ranch. 1t was al
legged that Woodward's ranch was the head
quarters 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 OF
the bars Of their cells and a window and
got away. At the stock yards, east of town,
Charles Woodward secured a pistol which
had been placed there by q friend. Near
Casper he stole a horse and rode to his
fanch, reaching there on the evening OF
January 2, 1902. Instead OF finding friends
ready to assist him he found Sheriff Kicker

looking for him He went to the barn, in
tending to abandon his horse and steal one
of the officers animals 1t was about Z
o'clock In the evening and was quite dark.
He mounted one Of the sheriff's horses and
was ready to ride away wnen the sheriff
came out OF the house and. approaching the
barn, ordered him TO surrender. woodward
instantly shot the sheriff through the body
and the ofncer fell to the ground MORALLY
wounded Woodward then. It is said, went
TO the dying man and struck him in the
face with his revolver. He took $45 out OF
the officers pockets and rode off.
He was captured several weeks later at
Billings. Mont, by a ranchman to whom
he had hired out and brought back TO Cas-
per. He admitted the killing and was con-
victed and sentenced to hang today. Last
Tuesday the supreme court granted a stay
OF execution, which would have given Wood
ward at least three months more OF life.

COFFEE
Don't Blame the Doctor.

The most dangerous false friend is the
one that under the guise OF friendship day

sition Of coffee. 1t enters your sanctum
under the guise OF a warm, close friend and
slowly, day by day, works away at your de-
struetion.

II is a fact nevertheless. Hundreds Of thou,
