Cheyenne, Wyo., April 14.-Jack
Boyle, the well known Chalk Bluffs
ranchman, was foully assassinated at
$3.50 O'Clock last night. AS he a at
supper at the Ketchum ranch, seven
teen miles southeast of this place, and
just oVer the Colorado line, in Weld
county, he was struck by a bullet fired
through the window by an assassin
hidden in the darkness without, and
expired without so much as a gasp.
News of the murder was brought to
Cheyenne by William Ketchum, who
started for town Immediately there
after and who arrived at $40 O'Clock.
The coroner and sheriff of Weld coun-

Was in High Spirits.

Boyle was in Cheyenne yesterday,
leaving the city about 8 o'clock last
evening and driving directly to the Ket-
chum ranch, which is his headquar-
tiers. Ketchum relates that he reached
the ranch at about 8 o'clock and asked
for supper. With Ketchum at the ranch
was Jim Cassidy, a cowboy. They pre-
pared supper, Boyle chattering mean
while and appearing in the best of
spirits. The meal ready, Ketchum and
Boyle sat down to the table, which was
directly in front of a window, and Cas-
sidy sat in another part of the room.
Boyle was directly opposite and facing
the window, while Ketchum, while sit
ting closer to the window, was slight
ly out of the direct line between Boyle
n the opening.
Suddenly, as Boyle and Ketchum sat
talking and eating, Ketchum heard a
sound. which, as he describes it, vas
similar to the cracking of a parlor
match, and, at the same instant, saw
Boyle settle in his chair and fall par
tally forward on the table. Cassidy
also heard the sound and saw Boyle's
movement, but neither of them sus-
pected what had occurred.
Sheriff Smalley, Ketchum and Phil
K%errigan left for the scene of the
murder at 2 o'clock this morning, and
will return this afternoon with the
body. The funeral will be held here

Leslie NJ Shaw, Secretary Of the
Treasury, is a great believer in young
men. He has started several of them on
the road to wealth and fame. The first
Robert B. Armstrong, became Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury when thirty
one, and after brilliant service is now
president Of a strong financial institution
in New York, at big salary. His sue
cessor as secretary to Secretary Shaw
was John II. Edwards, an Ohio boy, with
more than the average Ohioan's share of
political ability and tact. In due time
Secretary Shaw recommended him for
promotion, and the President was glad to
appoint Jack Edwards an Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, to succeed
that old warhorse, "Hod' Taylor, Of Wis
consin. Mr.. Edwards has served only a
few months, but has already revealed ex-
ecutive and administrative ability of a
high order. He has already acted as
Secretary of the Treasury on several i'm
portant occasions. and has performed the
duties well.
Succeeding Mr.. Edwards as private
secretary to Secretary. Shaw, Arthur F.
Statter is in line for something big in
the Treasury. He is an Iowan, and
knew Secretary Shaw there. Later he
went to the State Of Washington and en-
gagged in the newspaper business. He
came to Washington as secretary to
Senator Ankeny, of Washington, and was
soon drafted into the Treasury by Sec
retary Shaw. Mr.. Statter is young
man Of the stamp that succeeds, and is
in line to become Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury one of these days.

INDIANA IN FOURTH PLACE
SOME CANNING STATISTICS
Census Figures Gives Out Figures
Which Shows Amount of Canned
Fruits and Vegetables Put up by
Different States.
publishers. Press.1

Washington, Dec. Indiana now
ranks fourth among the States in the
canning of fruits and vegetables. The
five leading states, ranked according
to the value of all products canned,
are California, Maryland, New York,
Indiana and Illinois. The Census
Bureau today made public statistics
on the canning industry, as disclosed
by the census of manufactures taken
last year. Two thousand seven hun
bred and three establishments were
in operation when the census was
taken Their total capital was $780,
0S2,076. and they employed 53,S62
persons, paid out SIT Asa ,30S in wages
consumed materials costing s70.O5S,-
Csc, and manufactured products to
the value of $10S,505,471. In all of
these items except that of the number
of persons employed, the industry
shows a marked increase since the
census of 1900. The decrease in the
number of persons \ employed was
slight, and was due to the increased
use of the contract system, under
which laborers are not reported as
employees.

LITTLE GAS MAKES
TOO MUCH ASHES
Street Commissioner Dye
Troubled with Matter of
Cleaning Alleys.
LARGE FORCE is NEEDED
IN SOME OF THE ALLEYS THE
ASHES HAVE NOT BEEN TAX
EN- UP FOR TWO WEEKS
HOUSEWIVES ANGRY.

y Street Commissioner Ed Dye has a
perplexing problem on hand just now
with reference to clearing the alleys
of the city of the vertiable mountains
of ashes. Though the force now en-
ployed in this work is working it's full
time limit. there is apparently no re-
lief in sight for the city as a whole
until more men and teams are added.
The condition now prevailing is a
natural and direct result of the shift
from natural gas to coal and wood.
Six or eight years ago when the home
that used coal or wood as a heating
fuel was an exception, there was lit
tic difficulty in keeping alleys clear
of ashes.
From that time until the present
the change OF fuel has been gradual
and now the home that does not use
coal or wood is an exception and a
very rare one at that. In consequence
alleys have been the dumping
grounds of tons and tons of the resi-
due of coal and wood fires and work
as hard as it may, the force employed
Is not adequate to the demands upon
it. There are some alleys in Rich
mond which have not been visited
by the ash gatherers in two weeks
and housewives who pride themselves
in having alleyways as neat as the
streets in front of their homes natur-
ally complain. The season is here
when the icemen's troubles are end
ed, but he has a worthy successor in
missioner Dye said yesterday after
noon that he realized fully what ne
was up against in the ash-gathering
proposition and that he would be
compelled to have an additional force.

THE GAS
THAT IS-NATURAL GAS
Authorities 90 SO Far as to Say That
Water Will Boil Over Natural Gas
Provided Enough Time is Given
Local Situation.

The natural gas situation locally is
not improved so that any of the
housewives notice it. Persistency
will accomplish many things and so
it comes about that water may be
made to boil if time is given it. The
time required varies in different parts
of the city, but generally speaking
the pressure of the gas is SO low that
often doubt arises as to whether gas
fires are really lighted. Ye erday
cold weather increased the demands
made upon the supply and the depict
ed pressure was perhaps more in evil
dence than ever before this winter.
The gas company has been making a
strenuous effort to get its new
stack" of Henry county fuel piped in
to the homes of it's Richmond patrons
and the company officers have said
from the beginning of the work that
there was every indication that this
winters supply would probably be as
bountiful as last. There still is rea-
son to believe that the situation will
be relieved to considerable extent
within the next day or two, and in
the meantime the users of natural
gas are living hope on partially cook
ed food

NO TROUBLE
HE LIKES NATURALIZATION PLAN
ESPECIALLY WELL AND THINKS
JAPS WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF 1T.
Publishers Press.l

San Fr;4-, &C. In an intel
view bearing on the recommendations
made in his message by President
Roosevelt on Japanese naturalization
and on the segregation of their chill
dren in schools, X. Uyenoa. Japan's
consul here, says: Sentiment is
practically universal among the 10000
Japanese in San Francisco that II :
recommendations made BY the presi-
dent Constitute the most rational So
luton Of Acknowledgement problems
yet attempted. The japanese are not
only pleased with the message, but
they regard it rs one of the most note
worthy documents Of International
questions issued from the White
House. There is no question but the
bonds between Japan and the United
States would be considerably strength
ened by ceaferring the privilege OF
franchise On the japanese in Califor-
MIA. There arc some 10000 Japanese
in the state, and while | am not in q
position to say how many of these
would take advantage, of naturaliZa-
ton privileges, do think that the
number would be comparatively large.
I think this would be especially SO in
the case OF the japanese in San Fran
cisco. Many Japanese have family
and property interests here, and they
would naturally regard San Francisco
as their permanent home once they
believed they had the same privileges
as other aliens. Concerning the school
segregation question ut is being
f~ g
to misconception of the facts in the
case. I think the entire matter will
be solved satisfactorily. and that there
is no occasion for believing otherwise.
The Japanese are not striving for any
thing unreasonable, and are quite will
ing 70 let the facts in the dispute
guide whatever decision is to be ulti-
mately rendered "
