ments to Circuit Judge HAZEL. 1t is

ments, but it is reported that none

OK refused to testify regarding the
bills of large denomination which
they came in possession of during the
session of the legislature, and Judge

ton he will take in regard to the
two.

IN STATUES OF O N
Statues of Napoleon and Jefferson
and One SymbolicaI of Missouri
for the Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
April 1S.-The Missouri Commission
has set aside $4,000 for the casting,
in bronze, for permanent preservation
in Forest park, of the statue of Ma
poleon, to be executed by Daniel c.
French, of Jefferson, by j.. Q. A. Ward,
and of the statue symbolical of Mis-
souri,, which will occupy a place in the
Terrace of States. The statues of Ma
poleon and Jefferson will stand at the
edge of the Grand Basin respective
ly west and south of the Education
building and east and south of the
Electricity building. The statue of
Missouri is that at present being
modelled by Sterling Calder.
The Missouri commission, when it
took this action, adopted a resolution
attracting attention to the important
ward the exposition, and the import
ance of perpetuating this relation by
mean both of the statue of Missouri
and the statues of Napoleon and JEFF
ferson.
Missouri's action in this matter is
intended to serve as an example for
other states and to influence them to
reproduce, in bronze, the symbolical
statues which grace the Terrace of
States.
The Missouri commission fixed May
2 as the day on which the cornerstone
of the Missouri building is to be laid.

CHANCE FOR MISSOURI MULES
A Movement Started to Make Thea
IA FN~rominent Feature at the
Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
April 1s,-Mr. N. III. Gentry, of Sc
dalia, a member of the Missouri com,
mission, suggested to Chief Coburn,
of the live stock department of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, that a
competent man be secured to cam
vass the mule owners of the state
and inform them of the Importance OF
a large exhibit at the Worlds fair.
Special attention will be paid to the
mule as one of the live stock features
of the exposition. Heretofore the
mule has had little attention at stock
shows and expositions, and at Chi
cago but two exhibitors of mules
we're represented, and it was with
some difficulty that even that repre-
sentation was assured.
Since then the mule has been
brought more into popular prom
inence by war service. The war mule
will be prominent in the live stock
departments classifications, and all
the other kinds, down to the small
cotton mule" will be provided for.
Mule owner are so widely scattered
among different classes of people that
a different proposition is presented
from that of interesting a set of
breeders of stock. Mr.. Gentry believes
that this action is necessary to give
the Missouri mule the representation
that will be looked for by visitors to
the fair.

masted In a Squall-One
Man Drowned.

Weymouth, England. April 1S.-Bad
luck has befallen Sir Thomas Upton.
His new challenger for the Americas
cup was dismasted in a squat, Friday,
shortly after leaving this harbor
preparatory to another trial with
Shamrock /. Her mast, as it fell over
the side, carried several of the crew,
and all the gear and canvas over
board. One man was drowned and
several persons, including Sir Thorn
as, who was knocked down a hatch
way, were bruised or otherwise in
iured. The man who was drowned
was a brother-in-law of Capt. Wringe.
He was handing a binocular glass to
Sir Thomas at the time he was swept
overheard.
During the work of raising the mast
it buckled again, owing to the weight
of the canvas, making three distinct
breaks. The challenger was finally
cleared of wreckage and was towed
into the harbor. News of the acct
dent was telegraphed to King Ed
ward, at Valetta, island of Malta, and
Sir Thomas afterwards received a
message of sympathy from the king.

Donegan, the Colorado miner, has
hanged in the county Jail yard here
Friday. About 1900 persons wit

Rev. Williamson, of the Christian

scaffold before the condemned man

played remarkable nerve, and talked

black cap was adjusted. He stated
that he had only one enemy he could

story of the Crime.
In March, 1901, d. b. Donegan, a
gold miner from Gunnison county,
COL, came here to provide himself
with an outfit to drive overland %
Oklahoma, where he intended to buy a
ranch. He met DR.. James l.. Gartrell,
and the latter's son, William. An ar
rangement was made that the three
should drive to Oklahoma together.
When about a hundred miles from
Kansas City the party stopped to
spend the night in a deserted cabin.
The three men lay down to sleep, but
only the two younger men slept.
When the younger Gartrell awoke he
saw hat his father had killed Done
gan by splitting his head open with
an AK. The young man said to his ia
Their: What did you kill him for, IA
the?"
Because, son, we needed the
money" answered the old man. The
two men carried Donegan's body to
a nearby creek and dropped it in. The
spring freshets soon washed the body
out of the banks, where it was found
about two weeks later. Suspicion was
directed towards the G~artrells, and
when, upon investigation, it was
learned that DIR. Gartrell had sold the
team of horses in the neighborhood
where the crime was committed, the
father II son were arrested. DR..
Gartrell later confessed that he killed
Donegan, entirely generating his
son, but insisted that he did it in self
defense.
DR.. Gartrell was the Oldest man
upon whom the death sentence has
ever been pronounced in Missouri. He
was 6S years old. He was six feet tall,
very erect. despite his age, and wore
a long, flowing white beard. At one
time he was a member of the legisla-
eture of Texas, and it is said he once
refused a nomination for congress in
the Eleventh district of Texas. He
was once probate judge of Refugio
county, Tex.
