to see Mrs. Thaw.
Rings Sold at Auction.

San Francisco, Cal, June 27.-The
diamond rings and other personal eff
fects of Milton Andrews, the slayer of
Bessie Bouton at Mount Cutler, in Col
orado, and who, with Nulda Olivia,
lured William Ellis from Australia to
Berkeley. where they attempted to
take Ellis life, were sold in Oakland
today at public auction by the public
administrator.
Brisk Demand for Gems.
The vaIuabIes were those left by
Andrews and the Olivia oma last
winter when he killed his companion
and himself to escape the police. Bid
ding for the gems was brick, and from
these relics of a life of crime the estate
of the noted criminal received $4,000.
The money belonging to the estate
goes to the widow of Andrews, who
lives in the east.
Body Found on Mountain.
Bessie Bouton's body was found on
Cutler mountain, in Colorado, Deem
Der 10, 1904, by a hunter. The young
woman evidently had been murdered a
week or more before that time. 1t
kept the police and detectives busy for
months to identify the body as that of
Miss Bouton, daughter of respectable
parents living at Syracuse, N. Y.
Suicided to Avoid Arrest.
Later Milton Franklin Andrews was
trailed down and he convicted himself
by self-murder before a jury had OPP
p%ortunity to convict him.

Maximum Limit Bill.

Stockmen arriving at Laramie are
noting that congress has passed the
bill extending the time limit in which
stock can be held in the cars on the
road from twenty-eight to thirty-six
hours, the bill being now ready for the
signature of the president. The law
requires that shippers who desire to
keep their stock on the road for the
longer time must first make request
for permission. The bill will be of
great benefit to Laramie, as it will
enable many shippers to reach the
excellent feeding pens here who would
otherwise be required to fare worse
at other points.

WILL SEND TEAM TO
RAWLlNS TOURNAMENT.

At the meeting of the Laramie Rod
and Gun club last night. it was re
solved to send a team of eight men to
the state tournament at Rawlins on
the Fourth of July, and a meeting will
be held at the range east of the city
park on Sunday, where the team will
be selected. There is a purse of 800
for the best state team and the Lar
annie fellows see no reason why they
should not pull it down. True, they
will be confined to Is clay pigeons
each, unless the terms are modified,
and will be compelled to use a strange
trap, but they are used to handicaps
and will go with blood in their eyes.
Probably there will be a larger num-
Der of entries than the team of eight,
as there are a number of single and
other events on the program.

FRIENDS BELIEVE GRAND JURY
WILL FAIL TO INDICT MAN
ON GROUND OF JUSTIFl-
CATION FOR ACT.
Police Inspector Says Many Develop
ments Have Been Made in Case
Favorable to Defendant, and Not
a Friend of White Speaks UP in
Defense of His Characteristic
Bouton Murder Mystery Recalled.

New York, June 27.-The inquest
over White tomorrow is apt to be a
formal affair. Three witnesses only
will be called, according to the present
program. The doctor will describe the
wounds and two witnesses will say
that Harry Thaw fired the shots.
May Not lndict.
The case will go to the grand jury
Immediately. The proceedings there
will be secret and the only sensation
expected from the grand jury would
be its failure to indict Thaw, which
the Iatter's friends, conversant with
many of the phases Of the dead mans
relations with Mrs. Thaw, assert is not
improbable.
No Friend to Speak for White.
Not a friend of White defends his
character from attacks made in con-
nection with the woman of the stage,
Thaw's friends making public many
details which, pieced together, indi-
cate that Thaw's hatred for the emf
nent architect had good grounds.
Things in Thaw's Favor.
Police Inspector Schimittberger said
today: There have been many de-
velopments in the case very favorable
to the defendant"
White Had Hold on Girl.
A friend of the Thaws says the sight
of White lately was always enough to
upset the woman completely. The story
is that White secured some hold over
her while she was Evelyn Nesbit, the
chorus girl, and that he made use of
it after she was married, causing her
extreme unhappiness.
Thaw rose at $50 this morning. He
had coffee, rolls and a cigar and read
the morning papers.
Whites funeral will be held tomor-
row morning on Long Island.
Wife Calls to See Him.
Thaw was taken before a number
of physicians in the district attorneys
office this morning, where he was ex
amined as to his sanity. Returning to
the Tombs, he was visibly pleased to
near that Mrs. Thaw accompanied by
Josiah Thaw, was awaiting him. Both
the visitors, according to prison rules,
were obliged to submit to a search be-
fore entering the cells.

PASSING of the Camp Meeting.

A venerable American institution,
the camp meeting. Is on the wane. 1t
is still far from dead, but those who
know 1t best perceive most clearly
that its sunset hour has come. AS
the old preachers of to-day recount
in the past tense the experiences Of
the circuit rider. that pioneering apos
tie of Christianity to rev communities,
so the preachers of tomorrow will
tell on occasions of "reminiscences OF
the former glories of the hilarious
camp meeting, when people got re-
ligion" and were not afraid to make a
noise about it. Fewer and fewer OF
the strongest preachers attend the
camp meetings. The more cultivated
church members become the less
taste they appear to have for this sort
of "old-time religion" Plainly. the
camp meeting is on the decline.

DOES NOT LIVE IN FIRE.
Popular Idea About the Salamander
Is Fallacious.

Now that Spontaneous generation"
has exchanged the realm of supersti-
ton for that of fact, al older theory
about it becomes interesting. In An
drews' Anecdotes Ancient and Mod
ern" Q7S9), one reads: should a
glass house fire be kept up, without
extinction for a longer term than sew
en- years, there is no doubt that sala-
mander would be generated in the Gin
ders." This probably accounts for the
popular idea that a salamander lives
in the Ere, a fallacy so far removed
from the truth that the curious lizard
like beast SO called cannot endure
even the heat of the sun. but skulks
away under stones to avoid It. 1t will
never lose its reputation for fire-eat-
ing, though, which fingers still in the
heating utensil that is named after it.

Most laxative Sex.

All men cling to the superstition
that the female tongue is rarely silent.
YET, says the Lady's Pictorial, as a
matter OF fact, if it were possible to
arrive al the truth by means of some
kind of measuring machine, it is very
much more than likely that it would
be found that men do very much more
talking in the course of twenty-four
hours than the so-called laxative sex.
