County Coroner Robinson this morn
ing received from j. p. Bowles of Med
icIne Bow the following telegram:
Found Lewis Peters dead this
morning at Little Medicine. Answer
There were no particulars and moth
ing to show what had caused the mans
death. AS the coroner was on the
the matter was turned ove to the act
ing coroner, Justice Grant. and he in
turn sent Mr.. r. E. Fitch to the scene
u learn what he could OF the affair
and If an inquest is necessary. If it Is
needed, Justice Grant will go to Little
Medicine and hold it.
Peters was a sheep herder, and sew
eral months ago, while stopping over tc
drink from a stream flowing by where
he was at work, his pistol dropped
from his pocket and he was wounded
in the left arm, neal the shoulder. He
came to this city and was sen to the
county hospital, where he has been
under treatment until a few days ago
when he declared he was well enough
to return to work. He was not vel
of the wound. his physician told him
but he insisted on going. He was giver
a railroad ticket to Medicine Bow ant
some money, and left to resume worl
for MIR. Bowles, who sent the Telegram
this morning.
Peters is believed to have com
mittei suicide. While in the hospita
he more than once declared he would
take his life, and his pistol an(
razor were kept from him, being per
mitted to use the latter only wher
watched. His kidney trouble was quite
severe at times, INT this. the count.
physician thinks, may have been tn
cause of his desire to kill himself.
1t is now almost certain that Peter:
took his own life, as word reached thu
city this afternoon that a bullet wount
was found in his head. No other de
tails were obtainable at the time thu
forms for this impression were closed

PRONOUNCED THIS AFTERNOON

clared He Had Nothing to Say
Why Sentence Should Not Be Pro-
nounced by Court.

erside Live Stock company. upon
which he received the full amount in
cash, and was sentenced to eighteen
months in the penitentiary at Rawlins
by Judge Carpenter, who told him
that he had intended giving him not
less chan two years, but when he saw
the tears in his eyes and realized his
youth, he believed the lesser sentence
was the more humane.
Lukens was brought into court at
2:25 O'Clock and the information was
read to him by County Attorney Glib
son. He said he would plead guilty,
realizing the fact hat it meant a pen
itentiary sentence. He said he would
not be q until a wee from today, and
that had weight with the court. Five

down his cheeks, he received the sent
ence. and was taken back to the cell

miliar with the crime to which Lukens
pleaded guilty this afternoon. He de-
clared he had nothing to say about
the matter and would take the judg-
ment OF the court. He said he had
received the full amount of the check,
$104. His parents live at the old home
in Illinois. and he does not think, he
says, that his father has heard Of his
disgrace.

HISCOUNTRY' GALL
To Which the Ears of Gen.
 Miles Are Open
He Is Ready, if Necessary, to Lead the Forlorn Hope of the National Pro- hibitiOn Party.

Oil City, Pa. March 14.-David N. McCalmont, of Franklin, chairman of the Venango county Prohibition com mittee. is in receipt of a letter from General Nelson A. Miles in whicn the general announces himself indi- rectly as a candidate for the nomina- ton for president.
 Some time ago MT. McCalmont wrote to General Miles announcing that he would be a delegate to the Prohibition national convention and asked if he could net have the pleasure of sup porting him for the nomination. The full text of the letter received in reply Nr. McCaImont refuses to make pub lie as he claims it is a private com munication.
 The letter says;
 Tt remains with my friends to say what services I shall render further to my country" Mir. McCalmont has written to General Miles for permis- sion to publish it's full text.

COLORADO STOCK ME N
Among Other Things, They Jubilate
 Oyer the Merger Decision.

Denver, Colo, March 14.-The fourth annual convention of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers association met here today with 25O delegates in attendance. Governor Peabody. who was to have welcomed the delegates sent word that he would be unable to come.
 George Ballentine, a local cattle dealer, delivered the address of vel come. President Conrad Schaeffer de- livered his annual address in which he commented upon the splendid stock laws of Colorado.
 Speaking of the relations between the railroads and stockmen, President Schaeffer said there was q time when the patronage of stockmen was sought by railroads and an effort was made to give good service. That time had passed, however. The stcckmen de- manded better service and more equit- able rates.
 The report of Secretary Fred John son, which had previously been adopted by the executive committee, followed. It showed that the assCc cia- ton had brought about more good re- suits for the. money expended than could have been obtained in any other way. The legislation secured was greatly needed. Other needed legisla- tion would be striven fer.
 The treasurers report shows the as sOciation to be in sound financial con- dition. A resolution congratulating President Roosevelt and Attorney Gen elal Knox "upcn the great victory for the people as announced by the deci- sion Of the supreme court of the Unit ed States in the Northern Securities merger case" was adopted.
 The report of the land committee favors the suggestions made by the special committee sent to Denver by what is known as the Roosevelt com mission to study the sentiment The principal points in these suggestions are:
 That actual settlers have first right to the range in the Immediate vicinity of their homes, also that existing con ditions governing the use of range for cattle, horses and sheep be changed as little as possible.

Peter Power against the Northern Pa cifc Railway company, was handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals today. The suit origi- mated in the district court. Peter Power as the alleged owner of one hundred shares of common stock in the Northern Pacific company, seeking 10 obtain an injunction restraining the Northern Pacific company's directors from entering into a combination with similar officers of the Great Northern and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy to merge and consolidate the three systems. Power also sought to re- strain the Northern Pacific company from retiring it's preferred stock al- Ieging that this is being done in the interest of the alleged merger
 The decision is against the conteu- lions of the appellant at every point, the court holding that the Northern Pacific company acted entirely within it's powers in converting the preferred stock into common stock [.
