TRIED FOR MURDER OF A BABE
c--- xaar Old Woman Convicted
of Murder-TwO Others Under III
dictment for Completely.

Jones, a 20 year old woman, was con-
victed of murder in the first degree in
the court of Oyer and Terminer here
today for the killing of her roster
iaughter's child within a few hours
after it was born. The case is a pa
thetic one. Mrs. Mary Jones' the
mother of the dead child, and Frank
Jones the son OF the aged woman, are
also under indictment for completely
in the murder. The evidence produced
at the trial shows that when the child
was BORN the grandmother asked the
attending physician TO chloroform the
babe which he promptly declined to do.
The doctor notified the police and an
investigation showed that the child
had been asphyxiated with the deadly
drug. Counsel for the defense con-
tend that the evidence was only cir
cumstantial and that to guess what
the grand mother had done would be
a travesty on justice.

RAID GOVERNMENT SUPPLY TRAIN
REDSKINS MAKE SUDDEN DASH
FROM HILLS AND CAPTURE
LOAD OF FLOUR.

Sheridan, Wyo, Nov. 3-Further
details of the raiding of government
supply train bound for the camps OF
the Tenth and Sixth cavalry from Ar
vada characterize 1t as a clever piece
OF work. evidently planned by some Of
the older heads of the Ute tribe. Ac-
cording to Driver James Forgen no
Indians were in sight until bunch of
about 100 redskins suddenly dashed
out of defile in the hills and quickly
surrounded him. They made little
noise outside of few sharp yells In
the nature of commands and while
several Indians kept Forgen under
their rifles the balance rifled his
wagon train of 1900 pounds of -four,
the sacks of which were strapped to
the cayuses of the Indians. who then
disappeared into the hills.
AS the result of the raiding OF the
supply train the troopers are in need
and the operations looking to chase
of the Utes are practically at stand
still until supplies can be had. More
supply trains will be sent out from
Aryada at once. Troops from Fort
Keogh with supplies are now at Ash
land en- route to the camp OF the
Tenth near Moorhead.
The Utes have completely outwitted
the military and are now reported
back in Wyoming on the Powder river.
retracing the route by which they en-
tered Montana. They evidently knew
of the arrival of the troops at Ashland
and have either given up the attempt
to reach the Cheyennes or are wait
ing for that band to meet them In
some other part Of the country The
Utes on Bear creek have not moved,
according o telephone advices re-
ceived. here.

Bryan Anxious to See Hearst Win
Governorship.
New York, Nov. 3.-William ].
Bryan has written a letter to Bird s.
Coler, borough president of Brooklyn,
endorsing the candidacy of William r.
Hearst for governor Mr. Bryan's let
ter follows:
II am very anxious to see Hearst
elected and would have come to New
York to help him If thought an out
side speaker would have been of as
sistance. From indications, however,
he is going to win, as he ought to. II
l have any friends there I want them
to vote for him.
Mr.. Coler, in giving out the letter,
said
"Mr. Bryan's letter should be enough
for all Democrats In this state. As
for independents / cannot imagine
that they are going to take the advice
of the piratical leaders of the old
predatory political system. They will,
l think, before voting, ask themselves
why It is that every leading bene-
ficiary of what was known as CONNER
cialism In politics is now bitterly and
Historically hostile to Mr.. Hearst.
Some of Mr.. Hearst's newspaper OPP
ponents must think the American pub
lie has lost its sense OF humor wher
they solemnly quote statements OF
Croker and McCarren, those ideal re-
formers"

COMES OUT OPENLY IN SUPPORT
OF EDITORS CANDIDACY
FOR GOVERNOR.
ROOTS SPEECH WIDELY CIRCULATED
HIS ATTACK ON HEARST MAILED
TO EIGHT HUNDRED THOU
SAND VOTERS.

New York, Nov. Amy doubt that
may have existed as to the attitude Of
William Jennings Bryan toward the
candidacy of William Randolph Hearst
was removed during the day when
Bird s. Coler, president of the borough
Of Brooklyn, gave out portion of a
letter from William ]. Bryan saying
that the Nebraskan is "very anxious to
see Hearst elected. This endorse
ment of Mr.. Hearst was made public
with Mr.. Bryans consent.
The cablegram sent by Richard
Croker, the old Tammany leader, to
Senator McCarren of Brooklyn and
the interview with Mr.. Croker printed
in the Freeman's Journal continues to
excite much comment. Charles F.
Murphy. the present Tammany leader,
when asked what effect he thought
the cablegram and interview would
have upon the coming state election
said he did not think that either they
or the speech delivered by Secretary
of State Root at Utica would change
more than few votes.
Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
candidate for governor. Is on the last
stage of his last up state tour. Mr..
Hearst spent rather quiet day on
account OF the serious condition Of
his throat as q result OF the many
speeches which he has delivered dur
ing the past few days.
The Republican state committee has
begun to send out through the mails a
small pamphlet containing extracts
from the speech of Secretary Of State
100000 copies will be sent out imme-
dtately.

LONDON MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Liberal and Labor Parties Lose Con-
troll Of Affairs.

London, Nov. 3-The triennial elec-
tiOns of the London borough councils
have resulted in an overwhelming VIC
tory for the municipal reformers, who,
In some of the boroughs, absolutely
wiped out the progressives. The vic
tors were formerly known as moder-
ates and represent the UniOnist party
and the progressives include the Lib
eral and Labor parties. After several
years Of progressive regime, during
which, it Is cOntended, the taxes were
increased to abnormal figures in con-
sequence of huge expenditures. includ-
ing ralatial workhouses, Turkish baths
for workmen, who did not use them,
and clubhouses and other similar mu-
nicipal luxuries, the borough councils
are once again great stronghOlds OF
Toryism. The full figures are not yet
available. but up y noon the munic-
ipal reformers had won $40 seats, the
progressives 222 and the Labor and
independent candidates n out Of
total OF 1862.
The provincial municipal elections
also have resulted in rout for the
Liberals. Tie campaigns In the prov
inces were mostly conducted on polit-
ical party lines. Incomplete results
show that the Liberals have sustained
! net loss Of thirty-three representa-
tives and that the Conservatives have
q net gain of flfty-nine. The Labor
party has a net gain OF nine.
In London the Labor party candi-
dates seem to have Jared even worse
than the prngressives, but they made
small gains IN the provinces.
