TO USE OUR
MATERIAL
PETITION TO WYOMING DELEGA.
TON FOR EMPLOYMENT HOME
PRODUCT IN BUILDING.
NumerousIy Signed by Leading Bust
ness Men and Citizens and VIII
Be Forwarded-Lettsr on Subject
From Stone Cutters Union al
Cheyenne Received Today.

"A pC'illou was SllSuIdlcu lllS llOIn
ing, and numerously signed by all
classes of business men and citizens
asking Senators Warren and Clark
and Congressman Moncell to interest
themselves in the question of furnish.
ing Wyoming material and labor for
the public building to be erected here.
The petition contained three clauses
the use of Wyoming material, the en-
ployment of Wyoming labor and the
selection of Laramie or Rawlins stone,
preferably Laramie, and the use of
Laramie-made brick in the construc.
ton of the building. The petition
urges the members of the Wyoming
delegation to do what they can to the
end that the building be constructed
of Wyoming stone and brick by Wyo-
grounds here.
In connection with the matter the
letter received today by William Biz
ney, the stone contractor, from Joseph
Evans, Robert Evans and D. Penny, a
committee from Cheyenne branch,
Journeymen Stone Cutters Of North
America, will be read with interest.
The letter is dated at Cheyenne, May
%, and is in part as follows:
Dear Sir and Brorher:-I wrote
you some time ago regarding the new
postof1ice work in Laramie, urging
the arousing of public sentiment to
the end that the work should be done
on the ground and native material used
if possible. l remember you took an
active interest in the matter at the
time, and had my letter published.
Well, sir, matters have at last reached
a crisis. The contract is awarded to
William H. Maxwell of Pierre. s. D.,
and Cheyenne branch Is reliably in
formed that Maxwell is now negotiat-
ing with parties in Bedford, Ind. to
have the entire building cut of Bedford
stone by planors and machinery. This
Includes all rustic ashlar, arches, tool
ing, etc, so that Laramie would not
benefit a dollar by the construction of
the ~stonework.
Are you people of Laramie going to
stand idle while our young state is
robbed by grasping avarice and greed?
Let us foster our industries, increase
our population and develop our state.
You know as a practical mechanic
machine moulding and tooling will
a few short years peel off the
%one-fourth to one-half an inch,
an unsightly mess behind.
Now arouse yourself, get your mayor,
your chamber of commerce, your prom
inent business men, and especially
your press, to work and demand from
senators and congressman the
this state so sadly needs.
Let us not erect an advertisement for
Indiana in the shape of Wyoming pub
lie buildings and virtually publish to
the world our lack of stone. We who
have inexhaustible store Of the best
stone in the world, and good, compe-
tent mechanics to work it, Rawlins
stone set on its natural bed is fully as
good as Bedford stone.'

their committee at the Evanston

of Rawlins stone in preference to

Charles West Becomes Too Fa-

1t was due to the fact that he dis
played an intention of using razor
for other than tonsorial purposes that
Charles West finds himself in the coun-
ty Jail. There he will have an oppor-
Unity of growing hirsute adornment
on. which he can use his razor at some
future day rather than on the cuticle of
some one who happens to offend his
dignity.
West was in Adams saloon on Clay
street last evening and became rather
boisterous. He was ordered to desist
from any further manifestations OF the
movements he was executing and re-
fused to do so. A bouncer was brought
into requisition and West was expelled
into the outer darkness. Later he re-
turned, brandishiDg a razor with
which he threatened to cut and cut

At the request of certain property
owners in tho vicinity of the Jail, the
Mayor has clothed two persons, Messrs.
Clifton Russell and Travers Brown,
with police authority to protect prop
erty in the vicinity of the Jail on the
day of the execution of Julius. alias

the exection of Wyatt, some time ago,
several sheds and out buildings in the
vicinity of the Jail were broken down
BY the crowd, who sclimbed on them,
causing the property owners no little
expense. In order to prevent repe-
tition of the same on this occasion,
the parties have employed these men
at their own expense and have asked
the Mayor to clothe them with police
authority for the time being. which he
has done.

WAS DROWNED ORMURDERED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE
DEAD BODY FOUND.
A Startling Discovery BY William
Ford Off Horn Point
Yesterday.

Dragged to his death by his personal
belongings which he had attempted 60
save, Jacob Duckel, a Pittsburg iron
worker, was found in the water of
Horn Point last evening. His death
was either caused by that fact or he
has met with foul play. Whether the
true story will ever be known is hard
TO say.
Indications are that he had been
living in the water for some time. His
face was mashed and badly eut but
whether this was done by blow or
by reason of the body pounding on the
beach is not known. It was late in
the afternoon that William Ford, of
Eastport, was rowing around Horn
Point. On a narrow spit of land that
extends far out into the water he saw
a dark object rising and falling with
the slight swell which was running.
closer inspection revealed the fact
that it Sas the body of a man. de
notified the authorities and Squire
Feldmeyer, acting as coroner, made
an investigation. 1t was found that
the mans face had been badly cut and
bruised, but nothing could be deter
mined as to the manner in which the
bruises were made. He was fully
dressed and wore a pair of heavy
shoes. Fastened about his neck was
an oil coat and a pair of shoes. When
a search was made all that could be
found on his person TO lead to his
identity was a card of the ironmakers'
union of Pittsburg bearing the name
of Jacob Duckell.
The last date appearing upon it was
December 10 of last year. 1t is sur
missed that he left Pittsburg shortly
after that time and coming to Mary
land secured employment on some oys-
ter boat The theory is advanced by
some that he tried to leave the boat by
swimming ashore, and the heavy ar
ticles about his neck caused him to
sink and drown. Other oonjectures
are that he was assaulted, his clothing
tied about his neck and then thrown
overheard to suggest the fact that he
had left the boat of his own volition.
Which of these conjectures is true
would be hard to determine in the
absence of any positive evidence in the
matter.
This afternoon the body was buried
in potters field as it was impossible foI
the local authorities to positivelyarrive
at any positive Identification of the re-
mains.
