WILLING TO GET OUT
WHEN GIVEN CHANCE.

Among the prisoners in the police
court this morning was an old fellow,
evidently a veteran of the civil war,
who has been here for a few days
begging money for food and drink"
from c%haritably inclined citizens and
using it for that purpose, minus the
food. He was charged with vagrancy
and fined $50 and costs. He pleaded
for time to get out Of the city and
Justice Hynds suspended sentence for
five hours that he might go. Word
from the west at the expiration of the
five hours was that the old fellow
would be in Rawlins before tomorrow
noon. A stranger in the city, with no
~eXtenuating circumstances in his case,
was fined the same amount on a sim
liar charge and was added to Marshal
Sigman's street working force.

O'CLOCK SATURDAY AFTER
NOON To PREPARE AFFI-
DAVITS IN THE CASE,
Attorney Hartridge of Counsel for
Thaw Declares They Will Have
No Difficulty in Disproving AIlega-
tons by Jerome That Defendant is
Incapable Of Advising His Attor-
neys or Understanding the Case.

New York, March 22.-The Thaw
jury was brought before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the supreme court today and
told hat they need not attend the trial
again until Wednesday morning. In
the meantime Judge Fitzgerald said he
would receive afidavits from the de.
tense in answer to the suggestions of
Jerome that Thaw is at the present
time in a condition of mental unsound,
ness which makes him incapable of
advising his counsel or of understand.
ing proceedings against him.

morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock as the
time for the defense to present it's af-
fdavits at the clerks office. 1t was
stated today that Jerome might have

counsel and fully understands the pro
c~eedings against him.
Attorneys Statement.
THAT is all the law requires us to
say" said the attorney. 1T is not a
question as to whether he is of un-
sound mind at all; the only question at
issue is whether or not he understands
the proceedings against him. We
claim we can produce overwhelming
proof that he does. We will also SUBJ
nit documentary evidence in Thaw's

MODEL ROLLING MILLS ADJ
JUNcT DURING SUMMER.
New Furnace Will Be Hurried to Com.
pIetion, Climax Boiler Being Now
on Way From East-Night Shift
Not Probable While Mill Is Doing
Such Good Work.

There is every indication that a
large amount Of repair work will be
done at the rolling mills this summer,
including the rebuilding of n of the
furnaces for the bar mill on the lines
Of the new furnace now in process Of
erection. Mr.. Jacobus, the manager,
has been informed that the boiler for
the new furnace las shipped from
Omaha on the 18th, and when it ar
rives no time will be lost in getting
the furnace ready SO that the old fur
mace may be released and overhauled.
Authority for the tearing down of the
old and the rebuilding along the new
lines is looked for at any time.
No Night Shift Now.
There was a report this morning
that both trains of rolls were to be
started shortly on a night SHIFT, but
Mr.. Jacobus when seen at noon stated
that the mill is turning out work SO
rapidly and smoothly, and keeping up
with it's orders so nicely. that a night
shift is not probable for a time at
least. Part Of the mill is working
nights, but it is hat portion which
would interfere were it operated in
the daytime, and the rolls are able to
clear up during the daylight hours
what they have to do.
viii Improve the Blast.
A lot of air blast pipes arrived in
the city today and were delivered at
the mill by George Morgan. These
pipes will be used to repair the pres
ent blast system and for the new fur.
mace. The pipes are of galvanized
iron, made to fit snugly without much
effort, and the blast when overhauled
will be in better shape than it has
ever been under the present regime.
The work will be SO carried on as not
to interfere with the operation of the
mills.
