Hamilton. Ont.-Never in Hamil-
toms history were such scenes OF dis
order and lawlessness seen as were
enacted In the principal streets OF the
city Saturday night. Scores OF rioters.
sympathizers with the striking street
car men. felt the weight OF policemen's
night sticks and the keen edge Of the
soldiers swords in conflicts on James

Colorado. November 2srd. says: Aftsl
deliberating .toe nearly twsnty-fcul
Van Wyk and his wife, Wourthe5e Van
Wyk, this morning at 1880 brouxht In
its verdict finding tho two defendants
guilty of the murder Of Gerreus
Hast. The verdict read:
Guilty as to both. with penalty OF
life imprisonment" Thus ends the
murder trial that has held the atten-
tion Of the people Of the state for sew
eral days.
For the first time since tho begin
ming OF this remarkable trial the two
defendants showed more than pass
ing interest In the proceedings In the
court room. Mrs. Van Wyk collapsed
when she heard the reading OF the YER
dict and creid out continually that she
was innocent OF the killing OF her sis
ter. Miss Hast.
Il did not do it, she cried. -and !
do not know who did It What will
happen to my children and baby?" Van
Wyk himself did not give vent TO any
spoken expression. but the lines OF his
face were drawn and ho was pale. As
the jury left the court room. Van Wyk
turned to one Of them. Claude Terb-
bett. and said:
Shame. and you pretend to be an
honest man."
Isaac Peiton. attorney for the de-
fense, as soon as the verdict was an
nounced. asked for an arrest OF SEN
tence and time in which to hle mo-
ton for q new trial. He was given fif-
teen days In which to prepare his mo-
ton.
The Van wyks were charged with
the murder OF Gerretje Hast, the sis
ter of Mrs. Van Wyk. December 9th
last. The dead body Of the young
woman was found in her lonely cabin
on the plains. and the Van Wyks were
arrested and charged with the crime.
The testimony showed. among other
that the Van Wyks held an In
surance policy on tho life Of the Hast
girl for $4,000. This. the prosecution
said. furnished the motive for the
crime.

VIII pr...rv. Mountain sheep.

Denver. - Inquiries are constantly
being received by the state game CON-
missioner asking when there will be
an open season on mountain sheep. At
present the question Of an open season
remains with the Legislature. and un.
less . special law 10 passed to that
effect there will never be q time when
these sheep can be killed with i'm.
munity in Colorado. There are perhaps
two or three thousand mountain sheep
In Colorado. They are multiplying
somewhat rapidly. but It IL the desire
of the game department To keep the
picturesque animals immune from the
huntsman's gun. Under the present
law. which 10 rigidly enforced, q fne OF
5000 IL imposed for killing . mountain
sheep.

50 MANY OFFICERS THINK

Uncle same Soldiers Must Stay Until
Psaes 10 Fully Assursd-Polltleai
Feeling sstwssn Factions 10 stli'
Dangerously Bitter.
Washington. II said here that
the United States II in Cuba To stay
for some years to come. and. perhaps.
for all time. How long the soldiers
stay, and how long the affairs OF the
Cuban government arc administered
by Americans. depends wholly ON the
Cubans. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon are
declared to have come away from Har
vana thoroughly convinced that tho
people OF the island. in their present
state of political development. were
incapable of governing themselves.
Before leaving Havana. Mr.. Taft told
the Cuban political leaders that our
troops would not be withdrawn. and
We would not leave tho island to itself
again until confidence had been re-
stored and the affairs of government
put on stable. sound and permanent
basis.
Since It has been determined to 70
tain control OF the island. every con-
sideration demands that the work OF
putting business on q normal basis
should be undertaken at once. Dis.
patches that have come from Havana
since Governor Magoon assumed con-
troll have not been reassuring In tone.
General Bells plan to give the
troops practice marches. through
the island, II Is acknowledged, Is moth
ing more than plan to impress upon
the Cubans the fact that the United
States is in armed control OF their
country and will not permit another
outbreak. Another reason for these
marches Ii to preserve the discipline
of the troops.
The peace TINT exists in Cuba to-day
IL only on the surface. and every one
who has recently visited the island re-
alizes that II our soldiers were with.
drawn now condition OF anarchy
would follow. The feeling between the
defeated Moderates and the Liberals is
bitter to n degree. Recent cable dis.
patches report harsh dissensions In the
Liberal party. The Cuban political
leaders that the Taft commission came
In contact with proved themselves
more than grafters; shrewd
and keen hunters after political ONCE
and perquisites that accompany politi-
cal position In Latin-Amcrican coun-
tries.
Tho ignorant low-ciass Cuban Is .
lovable fellow. Obcdient, plcasure-lov-
ing, polite. and hard working when he
must be, he is as clay In the hands OF
the INSCRIPTIONS politicians who have
gained an asccndency In the island.
II Is these men who have made Cuban
independence impossible.
When President Roosevelt returns
to Washington he and Secretary Taft
will go carefully over the entire situa-
ton and determine when tho election
shall be held and what method shall
be taken to insure continuation OF
peace and normal conditions In Cuba.
That this will mean the retention OF
troops and certain number OF civil
ofiicers IL now definitely known.

best feeders and stockers arm TO .

little Improvement either In d0mand
or price. Local packers bought readily
Of tho offerings In the beef line. and
there WAS also o strong inquiry ON

sold last week at 94.36. which was high

to $500 and Gamers all the way down
to 1l.26. Feeder and stocker inquiry
was very good. but buyers still want
the good ones. and common steers
show little Improvement. Some very
fancy black steers from Southwestern
Colorado brought $3.50. which IL high
price paid here for several weeks and
with one exception tho high price OF
the season. Other steers sold at 34.15
and most OF the better grades from

Hog prices continue to hold about
the same, tops at the close OF the week
being quoted Mt eS.22h. as against
1920 tho preceding Saturday. There
was more or less fiuctuation from day
to day. but S6.10 to $3.50 would about
cover the range. Supply was very fair.
but demand continues good for all hogs

Loveland.-The recent cold spell
which froze most OF the beets yet In
the ground and those not properly
soiled. has caused much anxiety on the
part of the factory officials and the
growers. Much now depends on the
prevailing weather. Should the ground
be thawed and the weather continue
warm the loss to the growers will be
small.
The most serious problem is the mar.
keting Of about 10000 tons of beets
now pileo in the fields with but light
covering of earth or beet tops. These
