THE STATE CAPITAL.

week reappointed dairy, food and oil
commissioner for Wyoming, and who

has been fitted up for him at the CAPT
tol, and he expects to leave Evanston

many years and their contemplated
departure causes sorrow among their
friends. However, Ed will still be
identified with Uinta county in an Of
fetal capacity, and will make frequent
visits to Evanston. He will always
find the latch string" out.

GOOD COAL VEIN.
Important Discovery Made On a Ranch
Near Lander,

Lander, Wyo., Feb. 25.-R. H. Earle
and Kinnear & Murphy have opened a
four-foot vein of excellent coal at the
Kinnear ranch, the miners having
drifted on the vein fifty feet. A pay

at municipal ownership have resulted
in careless, negligent and inefficient
work on the part of officials placed in
charge of municipality owned utilities.
The factor of strong personal interest
is lacking, and 1t is essential in all in
dustrial undertakings.
1t is fortunate that the inherent
weakness of municipal ownership is
making itself evident SO soon after
the earliest attempts in that direction.
BY the blunders Of communities which
have made ventures other places will
profit and be prevented from wander
ing from the path which common sense
and experience alike declare to be the
only one which an Anglo-Saxon com.
munity-especially this country
should pursue.
The mistake of municipal ownership
would be enormously more disastrous
If the more extensive scheme of gov
eminent or state ownership OF rail
roads advocated by Mr.. Bryan should
be undertaken. AS an industrial prop.
osition it would be as fatally defective
as municipal ownership, and political
evils without number would follow its
adoption.-Denyer Republican.

During the campaign the erratic
democratic Leader was condemning
Mr.. Mondell for opposing the policies
of the president, now it is patting him
on the back and is at the same time
condemning Senator Warren because
it believes him friendly to the presi-
dent. What does the Leader mean?
Does 1t believe the people of Wyoming
can be swayed by it n that they will
follow it in its vacillating, unreliable
course? AS a matter of fact it ex-
presses the truth, unwittingly, perhaps,
when it a sit matters little to the
Leader or the democratic party. 1t is
not our funeral" That is the entire
milk in the %cocoanut. Its sole and on
ly purpose is to stir up trouble, and
there are a few republican editors in
the state who have no better sense
than to take stock in what it says.

ing to the enormous department
store In london run by q company
OF which Whiteley was the president
and which was the pioneer In such
enterprises.
The crime occurred shortly after
midday. An Unknown young man
was accorded an interview with Mr..
Whiteley in the latter's private of
fee, where the two remained clos
eted for a few moments. AS White
ley emerged from his Office 1t was
observed that the, young man was
following and importuning him,
while Whiteley was waving his vis-
itor OF and threatening to call the
police. Suddenly the young man
whipped out revolver and fred two
shots point blank at Whiteley. The
bllets lodged in Whiteley's head and
he fell dead. Before the assassin
could be secured. he turned Che wea-
pom upon himself and inflicted what
is believed to be a mortal wound. At
late houre last night he was very
low.
The personality Of the assassin
and the motives for his crime are
enyeloped in a mystery. He gave
his name Of Cecil Whiteley, but rela-
tives of William Whiteley disclaim
all knowledge OF him. The police
found no papers or ether written
matter on his person to lead to the
tabldshment OF his identity but
they discovered his place of resi-
dence and learned that he never had
called himself whitley there. The
clothing of this young man bore the
initials .H. P.'' The police are OF
the opinion that the motive for the
crime, when discovered, will show
that there were present none Of the
elements Of revenge for personal In
jury but rather that the attack upon
Whiteley was the result Of q fancied
grievance. Si5

Jurors Anticipate a Trial Lasting for
Two Months Mother Of Defend
ant Exhausted by the First Days
Proceedings Attorneys for the
Defense Appear Not Overly Ex-
acting in Regard to Qualifications
Of Jurors.

VI VUxV4os 01z54
New York, N. Y, Jan: 25. After
trying in vain for more than four
hours of the morning and afternoon
sessions to secure additional jurors
to try Harry K. Thaw for killing
Stanford White and just when the
counsel and spectators and even the
defendant himself were drowsy from
the monotony of the proceedings
there came sudden change in the
tide. and within the last three quar-
ters Of an hour three new jurors
were accepted and sworn in. When
court adjourned for the day, five
jurors had been accepted.
Twentysthree talesmen had, been
examined without success when. the
unexpected happened and two tales
men in succession proved acceptable
to both district attorneys. Then fol-
lowed a drawing of five more tales
men who were excused for one
reason or another. Henry G. Har-
ney, piano dealer, about 55 years OF
age was the thirty-drss talesman to
be called and as he had never formed
an opinion in the case and had read
but little about it in the papers he
was quickly accepted. Other jur-
ors chosen yesterday were George
Pfaff, "a years of ago. dealer in
machinists supplies and Arthur B..
Campbell, AZ years Of age, superin-
tendent of telegraph and telephone
construction. The two jurors se-
lected the first day Of the trial were
Deming B. Smith retired manufac-
turer, who will serve as foreman,
and Charles III. Fecke, shipping
agent. Each OF the Jurors is mar
ried and has family.
The tedious manner in which the
selection of the jurors proceeded yes
terday makes 1t dif1cult to predict
just when the trial panel Of ~
will finally be filed. The order of
court that the jury must be kept
together under care of bailiffs had
the apparent effect OF making many
OF the talesmen reluctant to serve,
) various excuses were offered yester-
day, one man declaring that to be
locked up for two months would 50
4 wreck his nerves as to make
calm consider Of the case impos-
sible. He was excused Nineteen
talesmen examined Wednesday and
4 thirty -one yesterday brings the total
thus far called for examination up
to 80.
If this ratio continues 1t will re-
qufre two or three days yet to com-
pleted the jury. There was q feel
I ing after the adj journment of the
court last night that both sides
would TRY Ia faciii itate matters as
much as possible. OF the thirty per-
