Wolfe was declared out for not touching

Garrison, when only youngster weigh

finished second in the hurdle race which
wound up the afternoon card.

the greatest ever made or attempted by

Sheridan, Wyo., Dec. 18.-Following
a clue by which the Sheridan authori-
ties hoped to convict w. ]. Kepler for
the willful murder of his wife here in
November, the fruitless effort ended
yesterday by Kepler's appearance be
fore the police judge, who assessed a
heavy fine for a trumped up charge and
suspended payment on condition that
the man leave town within six hours,
never to return.
May Have Killed Wife.
Kepler was the alleged husband OF
Josie, daughter of joel ]. Hurt OF
Omaha. On the night of October 80
physicians found the woman writing
in the agonies of death from a dose of
chloroform supposed to have been self
administered. She left a note explain.
ing her act as voluntary. Similarity
of the handwriting in the note left by
the dead woman and that of a lewd
woman with whom Kepler is said to
have been associating since his wife's
death served to confirm general opin-
ion that the man may have known
more of the tragedy than he divulged,
Kepler left Sheridan on a freight
train within IN hour after sentence
was pronounced.

Wants a New Law

The Press having made comment
upon several occasions relative to the
inter-marriage of blacks and whites
being allowed in Wyoming, we deem
this an opportune time to suggest TO
members elect of the Ninth Legislature
that a law be passed prohibiting such
marriages within the borders of this
state.
AS we understand 1t, in twenty-five
states inter-marriage of whites and
blacks is prohibited; in eight the union
of whites and Indians is forbidden; in
nine the marriage relation between
whites and Mongolians is Illegal. I'm.
| fortunately there happens to be nc
race prohibition in Wyoming, conse
%quently oftimes the state is the scene
of these mixed marriages, which seem
to bring anything but credit to Its

high where these experiments have
been tried.
In spite of this expenditure of money,
the service is much poorer than II

Some cities having exceeded the debt

the installment plan, thus fastening
expenses upon future generations. The

This proposal is very attractive, and in
