Female Convict Displays no Emo

IS WOMEN WITH HEART OF STONE
is NOW SERVING TIME FOR
COMPLETELY IN HUSBANDS
MURDER.

BOISE CITY, Aug. 15-"Perhaps
there is no convict in the state peni-
Tertiary" said one of the guards from
the prison yesterday, "who has ex-
hibited as little interest and compass
sion regarding the execution of Will
liam Henry Hicks Bond, as Mrs. Jen-
ME Daily, widow of the man whom
Bond was convicted of killing and the
woman who is now serving time for
the part she took in the murder
Jennie Daily has had absolutely Moth
ing to say regarding Bonds death. She
has asked no questions regarding the
execution. She has shown no curios-
ity to know what sort, of confession
the man made before he was hanged.
She has shown no sorrow for the man,
for the love of whom she consented to
the killing of her husband, Charles
Daily.
The guards at the prison regard Jen-
nie Daily as a woman with a heart Of
stone She seems to have no con-
scientious regrets for the past. Until
Friday afternoon the fact that Bond
was about to be hanged was kept from
her. When, after the execution had
taken place, she was informed of the
matter, she appeared unsurpassed and
undisturbed. She asked no questions
and exhibited no emotion.

killing Christ Long, of Walla Waila,
two years ago, received the news of
his reprieve the night before the
death sentence was scheduled to be
put into execution:
Governor has granted reprieve until
October. Have strong hopes Of pre-
senting evidence before pardon board
then which will result in Communication
of sentence.
RUDOLPH WETTER."
That is the message which was last
night flashed over the wires back to
little town in Pennsylvania where
Rudolph Wetter's mother and sister,
bowed low in awful sorrow were try
ing to comfort each other and make
each other strong for the terrible
strain when the news should reach
them of the execution of the death
sentence upon their son and brother.
What joy that telegram may have
brought them can better be imagined
than described. Wetter believes it may
have spared his mothers life, for she
has been very low because of the
trouble his crime had brought upon
her.
Wetter received notice that a re-
prieve had been granted in his case
at the eleventh hour. He had almost
given up hope when he was officially
notified of the fact that Governor
Gooding had ordered that he be not
executed this morning.
Everything had been prepared at
the penitentiary for two executions
this morning. Two graves had been
dug in the penitentiary cemetery. Two
collins had been ordered and had been
taken to the institution and made
ready for the reception of the
corpses of William Hicks Bond and Of
Rudolph Wetter, after the executions
this morning.
Prepared for the End.
AS the day heightened and no word
was received, he said to the watch
man: 81 think 1 had better take my
bath and shave and get ready, just
the same. There is but a small chance
of there being a reprieve granted
He accordingly took his bath and was
shaved and then he began sorting over
his personal effects. All his private
letters were carefully sorted and most
of them burned. Others he tied to-
gether and directed to his mother. His
trinkets he then sorted and labeled
them for his mother and sister and
then sat down and wrote each Of them
a long letter to be sent after the exc
cution.
He showed no sign of breaking down
until the welcome news reached him.
Not until Warden Whitney officially
notified him that a reprieve had been
signed by the governor was it evident
by Wetter's conduct what an awful
strain he had been under. When the
news reached Wetter he was overcome.
The reaction was too much for him.
He sank down in a chair by the table
in his cell and buried his face on his
arms. His body shook with emotion.
1t was some time before he could con-
troll his emotions and his first words
were:
Il must let mother know quickly"

RECLAMATION WORK
TO BEGIN IN JUNE.

1t Is learned that the single bid re-
eeiyed by the consulting board of en-
g%inecrs, on April 18th, for the con
struction Of the l4S miles OF irrigation
bitches in District No. 8, was turned
down by the secretary of the interior
upon liz arrival in Washington, be-
cause OF failure OF the contractor to get
his prices within what was considered
a reasonable limit. The excavation
TO be done alone amounts to 600 900
cubic yards and the single bid carried
with il Il demand that the bidder be
reimbursed for this work to the tune
Of p cents per yard. When it was ON
sidered hat many OF the contractors of
last year took jobs at IL and y cents,
the disparity WAS too great, and now
the honorable secretary has caused the
order to go forth that the work be done
by force account. Accordingly, equip
ment and material is being assembled
Tor the work, which it is thought will
De commenced sometime early in June.
In addition 10 the excavation work
mentioned, 250 %turnouts and i2 wagon
bridges will have to be constructed, and
the reclamation officials expect to pur-
sue the work according to the speciti-
cations under which the bid was sub
mitted and have it done by the middle
OF December oil next year.
This latest effort OF the government
to induce the contracting firms to bid
On government work would Indicate
that mining and railroad work, which
now abounds IN this state, is more
lucrative than government ditch build
ing at what seems like eXhorbitant
prices. The experience of many OF the
contractors who worked in this section
up ~ the first of the present year WAS
anything but satisfactory from a tinan-
elal viewpoint, and it is very likely that
The sentiment resulting from their eX-
pericuee is responsible ior their failure

of developing this project. However,

tractors losses We're traceable to their

own. Already their efforts have been
productive OF good results, but in order
10 get the town uniformly clean and
keep it 50, it IS necessary that every
resident cooperate. There are still n
number OF n|uisauces that have baftled
the attentions Of the vigilant officials
to date, that should be removed
voluntarily by the property owners
upon whose premises they now exist.
Notices have been printed and sent out
to these delinquent ones, and unless
they act quickly the work will be done
under the direction OF the chief of
police and assessed to the property
owner, together with a fine.
Captain Parker, formerly of the
government service III the Philippine
Islands, where he Ind charge OF the
transportation department OF various
brigades operating in the field, made II
trip this week To La Platte, returning
Thursday evening. He stated that

being developed in that section that
would one day not far distant make
mining camps beside which the camps
of FairyieW and Eastgate will pale in
