LEGISLATIVE SHORT TALAS.

February 3 was a banner day in the
house of representatives. Thirty bills
were considered on ina reading, ana
twenty-seven of these were passed;
fifteen were up on second reading and
six new measures were introduced,
The entire morning was devoted to the
work of the committee of the whole,
Hon. Simeon w. Johnson of Weston
in the chair. The record of proceed,
ings covered fifty-one pages of the
Journal. 1t was the greatest da: :
business ever performed in the house
OF representatives. And yet Chief
Clerk j. C. A~rgesheimer and his dis
sistant, Mr.. Charles E. Wood. finish
ed their work before they ret'"ed fo'
smiling when the house assembled
Feb. 4. 1t tool till after 8 a. m, but
they delivered the goods. If there is
one position in the state OF Wyoming
that does not SAVIOR of a sinecure, il
Is the position of chief clerk of the
house of representatives, and the as
sistant is not far behind.
Mr.. A. A. Anderson, special superil,
tendent of the Yellowstone forest re
serve, was in the capital this week
looking after legislation in the inter
ests OF game and fish. Mr.. Anderson
is the gentleman about whom there
was a great row a year s Gov. Chat,
terton demanding his removal. AS he
still holds the position, it is fair to
presume that he got the best of the
controversy. He is the n of the
Palette ranch, Big Horn county, and
makes his residence there in the sum
mer season. In the winter he spends
most OF the time in New York and
washington. He is wealthy and can
afford to live anywhere upon the globe.
All attempts to defeat the purposes
of the land bill by amendment failed
and 1t passed through the senate in
practically the same form that it came
from the committee. Only one impor
tant amendment was adopted. when
provides that all the actions Of the
land commissioner shall be subject to
the supervisory power of the state land
board.
There was not the slightest trouble
about passing the wolf bounty through
the house committee of the whole. The
only question was the amount. The
opponents of the measure felt graft.

Representative Sammon of Uinta

back yard. Day stopped down to get
the prisoners boots for him, and as he
did SO, Kelly snached the guards re-
volver and shot him through the breast,
though, fortunately, not dangerously.
A struggle ensued between the two
men and Don a large crowd Of the
guests of the house came to the rescue
of the guard and assisted him to dis
arm the now thoroughly enraged Grim
inal.
Some one rushed ove to the railroad
Office and informed Boswell Of what
was %transpiring. Hurryiig back to the
hotel he concluded to go in the back
way to avoid interference. A carriage
stood backed up against the rear renee
and q mob of forty friends Of Kelly's
were demanding admission to the
hotel. while the proprietor of the
house, a courageous old man named
Ramsey, stood at the head of the stairs.

an old saber and defying them. Bos-
wells appearance was sufficient to dis
perse the crowd, as his character had
already become known to Kelly and
his riends. Kelly was aller this cpl
sode placed in Jail.
Boswell feared still another effort at
rescue. and look precautions to frus-
trate it. He employed a railroad man
named Thomas Mccarthy to join the
mob and keep him informed of their
movements. Through this means he
discovered that a plot had been set on
foot to wreck the train six miles out.
Distractions were placed on the track
at a point where the train would have
been thrown from the track before it
could have been stopped. But Mr..
Mead. the then superintendent Of the
Union Pacific, sent out a fiat car carry
ing forty armed men. who removed the
train carrying Boswell and his man to
pass without further molestation.
The seven or eight hundred miles
across the plains to Laramie City were
traversed without incident and the
desperate was lodged at last in jail

Tedclleu A DTlel supp was llhue a. tuiS
point to consult a physician as to
kelly's wound. The man Of medicine
said the prisoner had been dangerous
ly shot; hat the ball passed through
the abdomen, and the chances were
two to one that he would die, but that
mis- prospects would be in no wise in
jured by taking him on to Pacific juno
ton. Much against Kelly's will the
officers mounted the vehicle, and with
a go long there" were of on the long
and dangerous journey.
On they went, as fast as the rough
roads and the speed OF their animals
would permit, feeling that every step
they went was putting danger all the
further from them. They began to
feel somewhat secure from attack when
they passed the halfway point on their
road. But their exultation was only
short-lived. They were jogging along
over a corduroy road through heavily
shaded bottom land. when, glancing
back, they beheld a small and motley
army advancing upon them. Kelly's
bl other had gotten about twenty men
together. armed them with revolvers,
shotguns, shovels, pitchforks, and
mounted them on mules and "old
plugs" of horses. n had come in pur-
suit. They were g%alloping along over
the rough road strung out for a hun
bred yards, making quite a formidable
appearance, indeed.

nudging the officer as a warning not
to take him literally at his word. The
command was intended for Kelly's a
and not for the officers. We shall
soon see whether the stratagem had Its
desired effect.
In the meantime the horses had been
stopped, and Boswell remarking, 4
guess we'll face the music right here"
had jumped out Of the wagon, leaving
his companion to take care Of Kelly
while he should face the mob. They
rushed on even after Boswell had step
ped out. When the Infatuated crowd
had come within hailing distance. Bos-
well raised his pistol and ordered them
to stop. But they did not stop. He
drew a bead on the leader and shouted
to him:
Move another step and I'll shoot
you dead as you come"
This had its effect and the mob drew
the reins on their animals and came
to an unwilling %standstill.

ments of the officers for a few minutes,
Kelly apparently decided in his own
mind that they could bode no good to
him, and started to walk away from
them. When they cried to him to stop
he only walked the faster, and soon he
started to run, evidently intending to
reach a wagon and span of horses
standing half a mile away across the
prairie. The officers then left their
horses standing and crossed the cut,
finding Kelly at a lead run by the time
they came up on his side of the track.
They again shouted to him to stop,
and as he did not obey the command,
Boswell had his man send a shot after
the fugitive. With this he ran the
faster.
Boswell again warned Kelly that if
he did not stop he would shoot him
dead; but the fellow paid no need, and
was evidently determined not to sur
render. Boswell decided to make a
grand effort to bring his man down.
The fellow was running rapidly and
the distance was great. Boswell is
ordinarily a dead shot, but at this time
the great distance, and the fact that
he had only his pistol, were odds
against him He, however, stopped,
and deliberately squatting, placed his
pistol on his knee. Almost simulta-
neously with the report of the pistol
Kelly stopped, threw up his hands and
exclaimed:
'My God, stop! You have wounded
me. | will surrender"
Going up, they found Kelly lying
upon the ground with a bullet hole
through his body, entering at the small
of the back and passing out nea the
naval. Seriously wounded as one
would have supposed the fellow to be,
shot as he was, he scarcely bled at all,
and he did not appear to be materially
disabled. The officers compelled him
o go back with them. One of them
stepped the distance as they returned,
and found that Boswell had shot 220
yards when he struck Kelly. They
found their man desperate, but appar-
emily helpless. He swore with violent
rage when first taken, and asserted
that he had been murdered In cold
blood. saying that he would not have
been taken at all if his captors had
not taken a miserable advantage of
him.
The officers were soon permitted to
see for themselves how difficult, If not
impossible, it would have been for
them to secure their man had they
come upon him at a less fortunate
time than they did. The firing of the
pistols had attracted the attention of
Kelly's work hands, who were engaged
near the scene of the shooting, and the
officers had not gotten Kelly to the
carriage, when the laborers began to
swarm around them. There were no
fewer than sixty of them, led by
brother of Kelly. who came marching
towards them. armed with sticks and
stones. and swearing that Kelly could ,
not be taken away.

will take him. Keep your dis

THE BIG REUNION.

One of the important features of
the big reunion this year will be
the two interesting and thrilling
lectures by Mrs. LaSalle Corbett
Pickett, widow of the gallant con-
federate general who made the
famous charge at Gettysburg. This
brilliant woman was, at the age of
seventeen, an eye witness to the
three days fight and her eloquent
descriptions of that terrible battle
will prove particularly interesting
to all those who on either side, In
blue or gray, stood in battle array
In those brave days of old.
There will be several new and i'm
portant features this year that will
prove attractive to the old soldiers
and the public generally. The
Clark family of eight talented per-
sons will sing every day of the
meeting. They will present many
new patriotic. humorous and senti-
mental songs and some comic char
alter sketches that will interest and
amuse the people. The managers
have every assurance that Major
Warner, the new senator from Mic.
souri,, will be with us and that the
governors of Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma will speak on Friday,
September LIST.
In the line of amusements there
will be IL to IL first class shows, in
GLIDING a representation of the bat
tie of Mukden and the great sea
fight between Togo and Rojesvens-
Ky in the sea of Japan. Also vau.
devilles, comedies, minstrels. The
"Shoot the Chutes," Scenic Rail-
way" "Carrousal" and other soul. |
stirring features will prove enter
tanning to all. II is impossible to
name all our attractions, but the
public may rest assured I It the
Reunion of 1905 will prove one of
the largest of it's kind in the world
and satisfactory to all who may at
tend. Low rates on all railroads
and trains running right into camp
every hour.
Chas. F. Parham, the noted evan
gelist, will conduct large camp |
meeting on "old.time religion
lines" during the entire week of the
Reunion. Mr.. Parham has ma
tional reputation as revivalist and
orator, and he will be assisted by a
fine choir of singers and other
speakers. Bring your tents and
hymn books and assist in these
good old-fashioned services under
the grand old shade trees in Camp
Logan on the banks of Spring river.
Don't forget that the Big Baxter
Springs Reunion of 1905 will be the
biggest, broadest, loudest, most in
entertaining and patrio-
tic meeting ever held in the west.
Bring all your families and pre-
pare to spend one of the happiest
weeks of your lives.
