WOULD ASSASS|NATE
COLORADO GOVERNOR
PLOT TO DYNAMITE PROMINENT
CITIZENS THWARTED-CON
FESSION OF CRIMINAL.

DENVER, Oct. 10.-Governor
Henry A. Buchtel, David H. Moffat,
president of the First National bank
of Denver, and Charles b. Kountze,
president of the Colorado National
bank, received through the mails yes
terday Internal machines containing
sufficient dynamite to have caused
great destruction of lives and prop
erty had they been exploded. For
tunately warning had been given to
the recipients of the machines by the
chief of police, Michael Delaney, who
had obtained a confession from Kemp
" Bigelow, by whoc they were
mailed. Bigelow confessed also that
he had sent Internal machines to
Lawrence c. Phipps and Edward
Chase, but these were not delivered
today. The machines received by
Messrs. Moffat and Kountze were
turned over to the police depart
ment.
The one sent to Governor Buchtel
was received by the governors pri-
vate secretary, Alfred G. Montgom-
cry, who removed the wrapper, dis
closing box with sliding cover.
His suspicious were aroused and he
reported the matter to Governor
Buchtel, who then informed him that
he had been warned by the chief of
police to be on the lookout for an
Internal machine. Adjutant General
keny and officers of the police de-
partment were called in, and the box
was carefully opened by them in such
a manner as to avoid explosion of its
contents. 1t was found to contain
two sticks of dynamite, to which We're
attached fuses and caps and which
were packed, in black powder. The
sliding top was lined with sandpa-
per, and the matches had been placed
with their heads in contact with the
sandpaper so that they would have
been lighted if the box was opened
in the manner intended, thus un-
doubtedly causing an explosion of the
dynamite The other Internal ma
chimes were counterparts of this one.
Bigelow gave no satisfactory eX-
planation of his motive for sending
the machines and seemed to have no
other purpose than to cause sensa-
tion.
Bigelow, who is 21 years of age,
arrived in Denver several weeks ago
anu SeCuTeu poslliUH us tIelh III
the Kendrick book and stationery
store. He said he was the son of
c. l.. Bigelow, superintendent of
schools in Bryan, Ohio.
On Sunday night Bigelow notified
the police department that he had
overheard two men talking about a
plot to kill Edward Chase, Governor
Buchtel and other prominent citizens,
and that lnr. Chase's residence was
to be blown up that night. A search
in the vicinity of the Chase residence
resulted in the discovery of a package
containing fifty-one sticks of dyna-
mite. Bigelow's story was regarded
with suspicion, and he was placed un-
der arrest Monday night. Yesterday
he confessed that he himself placed
the dynamite near Mr.. Chase's house,
where it was found, and that he had
sent several Internal machines by
mail. Had this confession not been
obtained in time to give warning tp
the men to whom the machines had
been sent, those who opened the
boxes containing the dynamite would
undoubtedly have been killed.

grand jury to be summoned in Salt
Lake county for four years has been
sworn in before Judge George G..
Armstrong of the district court by
j. u. Eldredge, Jr., county clerk.
The summoning of the jury is a
result of the revelations regarding
the food trust made several weeks
ago, which led Frederick C. Loot
-bourow, district attorney, and M. A..
Breeder, attorney general, to petition
the court for grand jury to inves-
tigate the charges that combina-
ton in restraint of trade exists in
salt Lake contrary to the express
provisions of the statutes. The jury
was ordered at that time, and fifteen
names drawn from which to pick the
seven who compose the jury. The
calling together of the jury was, how
ever, postponed because of press of
business in the criminal branch of
the court.
The members of the jury and sta
tistics concerning them follow:
John Wood, foreman, farmer, age
ga, Murray.
Hyrum .lonteer, smelterman, age
o3, Union.

CASSIE CHADWICK, CHARMER,
FAILS IN BODY AND MIND
"Wizard of High Finance" at Deaths
Door in Ohio State
Prison.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 10.-Mrs.
Cassie Chadwick was reported much
worse at the woman's hospital ward
in the Ohio penitentiary. Her pulse
was very weak and she is partly de-
lirious. Physicians are making all
preparations to attempt to stay any
how long she wi. survive.
Mrs. Chadwick is serving a ten
year term in the penitentiary for
wrecking the + irst National bank, in
Oberlin, Ohio For some days she
has been unable to retain nourish-
ment and she is seemingly indiffer-
ent to her fate, and apparently re-
signed to the fact that her end is
fast approaching. She has been in
the penitentiary since January II,
1906, and with good time to her
credit, would have gotten out No
vember 26, 1911, had the fatal dis
ease not seized upon her.
Mrs. Chadwick has been confined
to her bed since the first severe at
tack, about three weeks ago, when,
while talking to her son, she col
lapsed and was unconscious for some
time. 1t was at first limited that she
was playing off, in order to excite
sympathy and secure pardon, but
within a few days it was known that
her case was serious and she was
placed under the constant care of the
prison physician. Her trouble is an
attack of heart failure and weak
stomach, the latter, according to the
physician being caused directly by
indulging in rich food. When she
first came to the prison, Mrs Chad
wick sent to a fashionable restaurant
in the city for her meals and ate the
richest viands. Finally the prison
officials ordered that she be COM
pelled to eat the regular prison fare,
but she still complained of her stom-
ach and gradually became worse.
She made profession of the Roman
Catholic faith yesterday and the rite
of baptism was administered to her
by the Catholic chaplain of the pri-
son, as she lay upon her bed.
Mrs. Chadwick, as prisoner, has
always avoided the public, being sat
isfied if she could only be screened
from the gaze of visitors. She even
stunned the gaze of other prisoners.
She has never been required to at
tend chapel exercises. This privi-
lege was granted her at her request
when she realized that her days were
few.
Her physical condition is showing
its effects upon her mind and while
at intervals she is wholly irrational,
her mind is at no time strong. Mrs.
Chadwick is a mere wreck of the
woman who was arrested for con-
spiracy to defraud national banks
four years ago.

BIG SEELY' TO PLAY
FOOTBALL FOR UTAH
LOCAL MINING MAN IMPRESSED
INTO SERVICE BY UNI
VERSITY COACH.

Many Elyites will watch with great
interest for the reports of the big
football game to be played between
the elevens of the University of Utah
and st. Vincent's college of Los An
geles, in that city on November 2.
The reason for the local interest
in the game is that Seely, the giant
guard, who will look after that po-
sition for the Utah team, is vtll
known here.
Seely was a resident of Ely during
the greater part of the last year, and
made a great many friends. He left
Ely a few weeks ago TO el ter the
University of Utah, and was immedi-
ately grabbed" by Coach Maddox,
who has charge of the athletic work
of the students in the big school
Seely is giant, is quick and active
and is ''heady" player. Good things
are expected of him. and If he 'lys
the important part in the big ga he
that is expected of him, there will be
many local men to root fo' non,
even if they are thousand miles
away from the scene of action.
