Many Challenges Rend.


There were the usual number OF
challenges. Clarence Forbes Offering TO
box Kid Farmer, Nee or Tancel, and
KID Herman offering a match to the
winner of the Farmer-Nee engagement
Even Rufus Phoenix of Moline wanted
to fight somebody, though it is not like
ly he will have the chance.
Announcement was made that Jack
O'Keefe and Ed Purdy of Blooming
ton will meet June - under the aus
pices of the Iowa Athletic club at Claus
Groth hall, Davenport. Also that Kid
Farmer and Clarence FORBES will be
brought together at an early date at
Peoria. An attempt will be made by
the Iowa Athletic club TO secure a
match between Farmer and Benny
Yanger during the summer. Yanger
seems to be trying to avoid meeting
the Peorian, but it is believed that
there is some snow of persuading him
to go on.
Last evenings crowd was one of the
largest that ever saw a fight in the
three cities. Bleachers were built
about the ring. nearly filling the big
Davenport hall. and there was practic-
ally a capacity house. The Iowa Ath-
letic club was in charge.

On October IA, when more than a
year had passed since the death of
Rice, Patrick's lawyers went into
court and made motion for their
clients release on the ground that
two trial terms had I ssed without
the district attorney bringing Patrick
to trial. This motion was denied.
Another month went by and then
Patrick's office boy, who had gone TO
Germany, returned and confessed
that he had bought poison for Patrick
before the death of Rice The clos
ing act of 1901 came on December 8,
when Patrick made another effort to
get out of the Tombs. He obtained
a writ of habeas corpus and demanded
that he be either tried or released
on bail. The district attorney check
mated this move by announcing that
he was ready at last to call the case
for trial, and with that understand
ing Patrick had to go back TO his cell
once more.
Patrick was placed on trial for his
life on the following January 90.
Postponements came on February 4
and 5, owing to the illness of Juror
John D. Campbell, and it was not I'M
til March 26 that the trial ended

and nothing more could be done to-
ward carrying ont the death sentence
for another six months at least.
The court of appeals the following
June decided against Patrick, refusing
TO grant a new trial and affirming the
judgment of conviction.
Two days later Patrick prepared a
new appeal for presentation to the
court of appeals for a new hearing and
argument This time it took the court
of appeals just three days to decide
against Patrick's newest move. On
June IA his application was refused and
the court fixed the week of August Z
for his execution

the grounds of newly discovered egi-
dence. This was followed on October
by motion for a re-argument of Pat
rick's original appeal, but on October
81 the court of appeals decided against
Patrick by refusing TO reopen his case
and denying the motion for a re-argu-
ment.

BUILT UP WHOLE COUNTRY
Construction of Western Railways
Means Much in Development
of Industries

Hand in hand with the building OF
western railways goes the developments
of the country in many lines. With
the increase in population, regions
which are now devoted to farming and
mining will become the scene of many
manufacturing enterprises, and in
their turn will help to swell the total
of the commerce of the lakes. Already
in Minnesota steps are being taken 10
provide cheap power for many diver
sified industries.
In this western country the harness
ing of the rivers has already begun
and as a result of the work now being
done on the St Louis river, with its
ultimate capacity of 100000 horse
power, projects are on foot not only
for the establishment of many manu-
featuring enterprises, but also for the
electrification of some of the railroads
which now run north from Duluth TO
the great mines on the Iron range.
That time, of course, is still far dis
tant, but the present growth of pOpu-
lation in the northwest country indi-
Gates that the men who are year by
year adding to the railway mileage are
making no mistake. And should the
time ever come when the population
of the country. the proportion of the
traffic on the great lakes can only be
conjectured, for they will then be one
of the chief means of communication
between east and west as they have
always been since the days when only
the birch bark canoes of the Indians
were seen upon their waters.

Brings Lake Superior Nearer

While the greatest of railway pro-
jects now under way in the west cen
ters in the Canadian wheat fields, the
building of various short pieces Of
road in the western states tends to
shorten the distance to the ports at
this end of Lake Superior. A railway
mp shows many dotted lines where
such short cuts are proposed. All
these additions to existing railway
systems mean additional commerce
on the lakes.
If a line is drawn from the eastern
end of Lake Superior diagonally
across the map of the United States
to the Pacific coast at the southern
extremity of California it will be
found that all the territory north and
west of this line is nearer to Lake
Superior ports than to others on the
great lakes, and in shortening their
routes to the east western railroad
systems evidently have this fact in
mind.

ROAD WILL NOW BE BUILT.
Congress Given Permission to the
Washington and Western Mary
land Railroad Company.

The senate passed house bill No.
12,0S6 to amend the act Incorporating
the Washington G. Western Maryland
Railroad company. The bill was re-
ported from the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia by Senator Whyte
and was passed without debate. a
similar bill has been passed by the
house of representatives several times,
but Senator Whyte's predecessor. the
late Senator German. was opposed ID it
and it was never allowed to pass the
senate.
The bill provides that the Washing
ton & Western Maryland Railroad
company be authorized to cross the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal and the
government road, commonly known as
the River road. at a point about 2,400
feet east of the Chain bridge to a point
Immediately north of the River road
by means of a bridge with clearance
of at least Is feet above the present
grade of the River road and so ele-
waited above the canal as not to inter
fere with its travel and traffic, and 10
proceed from that point Immediately
north of the River road and northwest
wardly through the lands of the Pal
isades of the Potomac company over
a right of way acquired from the Pal
isades of the Potomac company to the
south line of the receiving reservoir in
the District of Maryland. thence to the
point of intersection with the line Of
the Metropolitan Southern Railroad
company. The Washington West
ern Maryland company is authorized
to construct its road over the reservoir
the exact location of which road Is
indicated in the bill.
The senate passed the bill without
amendment.

Religion Of tho Anache.

The apaches, like many other
North American tribes, are sun wor-
slippers, says Scribnor's. Their myths
tell them that the sun is the aIl-p0w.
erful deity, and to it all suppiication7
are addressed. On going into battle
planting corn, or starting ON "a cattle
stealing expedition, the SUN is asked
to look with favor. That they be-
lieve in a future world is proved by
their custom Of killing horses and
burying them, as well as their cloth
ing and implements Of the chase, for
life in the future world. Not only
the medicine men but the people
claim to hold communion with the
Chindi, or spirits Of their ancestors
They are also great believers 100
omens, talismans and amulets. but
are very conservative, and it Us with
difficulty that one gets them to dis.
cuss things supernatural They will
not talk about God among their own
people with familiarity and scarcely
at all with the white man.

HAS MADE THE LAW A PLAYTHING
Sentenced in 1902 for the Murder of Millionaire
William Marsh Rice, By SkiIIful Maneuver-
ing He Has Thus Far Evaded the
Hands of the Executioner.

New Workable the average muir
derer. Sentenced to die. he bows to
the seeming inevitable. Like a thing
whose spirit has already crossed the
borderline, from life to death, he
mechanically waits for the end, some
times moaning. sometimes praying,
but always waiting-waiting for the
executioner to beckon him forth.
Nowhere can a more striking con
trast to the above be found than in
the amazing and even brilliant fight
of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick against
the law, his own stock in trade, says
the New York World.
Arrested in February, 1901, for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, an
eccentric old millionaire who had
been found dead five months pre-
viously under suspicious circum-
stances in his apartments at No. 500
Madison avenue, Patrick was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to die in
the electric chair in the week of May
8. 1902 More than four years have
passed since then, and yet Patrick
is still very much alive, and actually
has a longer lease of life ahead of
him now than he had on April Z, 1902,
when the grim death sentence was
pronounced for the first time upon
him.
1t is not the purpose to present on
this page a review of the celebrated
Patrick murder case, with which
everybody is already familiar. This
article concerns Mr.. Patrick alone,
and the ingenious ways in which he
is playing a long drawn out game
against death and the law, and with
his own life as the stake.
If Patrick wins. as he really be-
lieves he WILL he will be indebted
chiefly to himself as his own life
saver. If he loses he may go to the
electric chair, or he may make an
entirely new move calculated to place
his opponents in the position of hav-
ing to play the game all over again.
Dangerously near to the dead-line,
Patrick has been forced time after
time, but by skillful maneuvering he
has evaded the executioner's hand
and obtained another respite. AS the
case now stands, Patrick is safe at
least until next October, when the
United States supreme court will
pass upon the writ of error granted
on June IL by Justice Day This
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1906-07-27

court of appeals to amend the record
of decision in the case. His motion was
denied. Matters began TO look grave.
On July Justice Rogers called Pat
rick to the bar in the criminal branch
of the supreme court and sentenced
him to die in the week beginning Janu-
airy p of this year. Then Patrick made
a personal appeal to Gov Higgins for a
stay of execution. The appeal was de
MED. Patrick then made a public ap-
peal for "a square deal" This was on
December %. Time was getting short
and Patrick's resources seemed eX-
hausted
AS a result Of Patrick's appeal many
petitions reached Gov. Higgins on De
cember so, asking him to save Patrick s
life. Patrick followed these with an
| other appeal to the governor for stay
of execution, but this. too, the COVER
nor refused to grant
When January - came and Patrick s
execution was only distant seven days,
the governor granted Patrick an extern
sion to March 10 in order that he might
present the testimony of the Texan wit
nesses who came to New York city la
ter to tell what Valet Jones had told
them about Patricks innocence
Patrick waited until February Is be-
fore fling his motion for a new trial on
the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. His fight for a new t Il began
before Recorder Golf on February 81
and ended disastrously, one of the Tex
an witnesses being arrested and sent to
Jail for perjury.
On March u, one week from the date
| of execution, Patrick received another
reprieye. this time to May Il, and q,
week away once more. Gov Higgins
granted further respite to June 49,
/ Gov. Higgins dealt Patrick a hard
blow on May so by vetoing a legislative
bill passed at Albany which would have
| permitted him to obtain easily new
| trial on the grounds of newly discov-
cred evidence
Another very hard blow came on
June II, when Recorder Golf handed
down a decision denying Patrick's mo-
ton for a new trial. Patrick apparent
/ ly had reached his last ditch. He was
to die within a week
granted on his application to the Unit
/ ed States supreme court. This acted as
a stay of execution and is not returna-
BILE until the October term of court
In his prolonged fight Patrick has
/ had the assistance OF many celebrated
attorneys. but almost every move made
] has been at his own suggestion or that
] of Attorney Bell Thomas, who has been
/ his most constant adviser.
| Public sentiment in New York has
/ been a great factor in the case. That
Rice was murdered has been proved be-
yond all doubt. but many believe the
millionaire's valet, Jones was the as
sassin Both Patrick and Jones bene-
/ fitted in a pecuniary way through the
death of Rice.
During his stay in Jail Patrick has
made himself the idol of the prisoners,
acting as their legal adviser in many
cases. His knowledge of the law Is
profound, and many criminal. il is
alleged, has attained his liberty
through clever technicalities devised by
Patrick The states attorneys office
would be glad to have him liberated or
the death sentence. SO long delayed,
carried out.
The case shows as PERHAPS never be
fore in criminal history how easily a
man of resources can evade punish
ment fer his misdeeds.

one-Piece Railway Wheel.

A process for making a onepieco
steel railway wheel has been devised.
For a 33-inch wheel an ingot about is
inches in diameter is used. and with
steam hammer and hydraulic press
the ingot is forged until the hub and
web are brought to practically the
finished size. 1t is then subjected to
a process of heat treatment, so that
the outer portion of the wheel is
brought to a rolling heat, while the
web and hub are kept al lower red

murder Four days later, at a pre-
limin2ry examination, he was held for
the grand jury, and on April % that
body returned an indictment against
Patrick. charging him with murder
in the first degree. Next day Pat
rick was formally arraigned before
Recorder Golf and Temanded for
trial.
Then it was Patrick's turn TO move.
On May 10 his lawyers attacked the in
dictment and asked for Patrick's re-
lease. This move failed. Exactly
one month later Patrick entered a
plea of not guilty and prepared for
his trial.
