on the charge Of assault with intent to kill
In connection with the death of Lucien H.
Conen, a former member of the Marine
Band. was begun this morning in Criminal
Court No. 1, Justice Stafford presiding.
Conen, as has been previously stated in
The Star, was shot September q, 1905, and
the fact that his death did not occur un-
til more than year and a day had elapsed
made it legally impossible 20 prefer a more
serious charge against Mrs. May.
It is stated that Thomas Humphrey, who
was chosen as foreman Of the jury. was
member OF the jury which acquitted Mrs.
Lola I. BONNIE of the charge Of killing
The selection Of the Jury only was accom-
plished today, and the hearing of evidence,

the bench. Apparently the case attracted
very little attention, In spite Of the many
announcements that 1t would come to trial
today, because the members of the jury
panel and several attorneys comprised q
majority Of the spectators in the court.
OF all the persons in the court room,
however, few were more self-possessed than
the defendant. Her only symptom OF nerv-
BUSINESS was an occasional toying with her
handkerchief and clasping and ,unclasping

only touches of color being red rose in

Line Of Defense.
Just what line of defense will be devel-
oped by Mrs. Mays attorneys has not been
indicated, though each juror was asked If
he had objection to- any form of legal de-
fense.. Several members of the panel were
excused after examination by Attorney Full

THE FINAL WORD.

The telegraphic advice from lSecre'
tary Garfield to Governor Brooks to the
effect that all illegal fences must come
down leaves no question as to the atti'
tude of the administration. All fences
Illegally enclosing public land after
April / will be deemed sQuarely In VIC
lation of the law and the owners viii
be prosecuted for maintaining the
same. If The Republican is advised
correctly, all prosecutions hereafter
will be of q criminal nature and not
civil, as had been the practice heerto-
fore in this state. Men now in viola
ton of the law would therefore do well
to consider this matter seriously. II
they wait till they are arrested by on
GERS of the government, the taking
down of their fences thereafter will not
relieve them Of the crime against the
statute and the prosecution would
doubtless proceed to a conclusion, just
as any other prosecution for a criminal
offense.
Al1in all the situation is one that
will cause considerable hardship and
great loss Of property and expense to
many ranchmen, but there now ap-
pears to be no relief.
The last word has been said, no fur
Their notice will be given and the PEG,

What's tn. Matter With wyomins7-

What's the Matter With Wyoming"
The Wyoming Tribune has offered
a prize for the best answer to the
above question, and the Grit makes the
following reply: In the past Wyoming
has been retarded in her developments
because the railroads reached only a
part of the state, making 1t impossible
for people to settle upon our lands.
More people are needed, and now
that the railroads are doing their part,
n campaign of advertising must begin
that will bring the thousands Of peo'
pie to Wyoming who are in search OF
new homes. This state offers more
profitable n better inducements to
homo seekers than any other section
of the United States, because our milo
climate and continuous sunshine. to
gether with the splendid agricultural
horticultural and mineral possibili
ties, make a combination of resources
that are essential for the happiness and
prosperity Of the people.
In short, our answer to the Wyoming
Tribune's query, is that Wyoming
needs 100, 900 more people to help de
velop the wonderful of oul
state.-Worland Grit.

THE 8 L PROJECT.

The development of the Haley tract,
Just to the north of Laramie and ex-
tending for twenty miles on either side
OF the Union Pacific. now seems GER
tain. There is plenty Of water for the
tract, and II contains some Of the finest
farming land in Wyoming. There is
no piece of land in the entire state
that presents a better opportunity for
cheap irrigation. 1t has a gentle slope
to the north. Just suficient to make
the irrigation Of every foot possible
and exceedingly reasonable.
Heretofore this land has been used
almost exclusively for hay and live
stock. A comparatively small area
perhaps several hundred acres-has
been farmed and with success. In this
tract 1t is the purpose Of Prot. Buffum
to conduct large seed experiments. He
will use some zoe acres or this purpose.
This project must not be confused
with the project being developed near
Rock River by Mr.. Frank c. Bosler.
They are almost identical in size, but
entirely different in location n water
supply. Mr.. Bosler's project will take
water from Rock creek, while the Ha
ley tract will be irrigated from the
Big and Little Laramies.
From hay and grazing lands of small
value, there appears to be no question
but that this immense area can be de
veloped into fine farm lands that will
bring from fifty to one hundred dollars
per acre. Oats, wheat, barley, rye, al
falfa. field peas, sugar beets, all kinds
of vegetables that do not require q
long, hot season and many varieties
of smail fruits, can be raised success
fully upon this land. The Republican
believes that this will prove one OF
the greatest irrigation projects in the
entire west. No dry farming about thif
simply a sure thing year after year
II the plans are carried to consum'
nation, Laramie will derive large ben
eft from this colony. Although a new
town Is to be established, this Will be
the Wholesale point and our university
and public schools will be a great draw
ing card for the people who may 10
cate there. Again, the southern por'
ton of the tract ome so close to Lar
smie that the settlers will come here
instead of going to the town Of Bos
Ter, that Is to be laid out.

Washington, D. c., March 29.-For-

of grown stock which will be allowed
to Craze upon the national forest re
serves during the season Of 1907. The
number Of horses and cattle which
will be permitted to Craze in the for

In Nebraska permits have been
granted to Craze $4,000 head Of cattle
and horses, but no sheepmen or goat
herdsmen seem to have applied for
permits.
In South Dakota permits to Craze
5000 head Of cattle and horses have
been issued, but, like Nebraska, no
sheep or goats. In Wyoming, however,
there are permits out to Craze 345,000

ed statistics to show that the citizens
of Laramie are not a church going or
Sunday school attending community;
in fact, the figures given would tend
to show that Laramie is much below
the average in this respect. or the
4.405 adults in the city, according To
the last census, Mr.. Lansdell finds that
only 1O4 are enrolled in the Sunday
schools. and Of this number only ~
attend. That is to say, that only three
out of every 200 adults attend Sunday
school. At the morning services OF
the churches on a Sunday only 40
people attend and of the 2.252 men In
the city only 70 attend morning SER
vice. OF those attending services $50
go to the Roman Catholic church. At
the evening services. 575 persons at
tend, Of which 1872 are males. These
figures mean that 7,400 persons In
Laramie do not attend any divine ser
vice at all.
Some Figures Quoted.
Last years school census gave 1,707
boys and girls in the city between the
ages of 6 and 81 years. OF this mum
Der MI. Lansdell finds that 44S are en-
rolled in the Sunday schools and that
1877 actually attend. OF university peo'
pie, seven professors are engaged In
Sunday school work, also ten boys and
forty-ive girls. Only six per cent o.
the population is engaged In Sunday
school work. These figures Mr.. Lans
dell stated are nearly correct, and
hhow that Laramie is not up to the
standard in church work. Mr.. Lans
dell made a strong plea for a Y. M. c

From Housewife to Maker.
DR.. knight, N his address, describ-
ed the n in which the preserva'
ton of foods has passed from the
hands of the housewife and the farmer
into those of the manufacturer. He
told of the discovery of various pre-
servatives by workers in chemistry,
especially by experimenters in coal
tar derivatives, and of how those dis

by manufacturers and used for the
cheapening Of their product with little

The Wyoming Law.
Thirty states have at the presen
time more or less effective pure foo

the law in force in Ohio. 1t was amend
ed at the last session of the legislature
in spite of the effort to block 1t by
lobby maintained by the manufactuI
ers, to include chemical preservatives
analine dyes and baking powders. Tn
Wyoming method of enforcement ha
been unique in that the COMMISSIONS
has filed suits against the jobber an
manufacturer and held the agents an
not the retailer as responsible. OF tn
eighty suits instituted, about fort
have been settled by the payment Q
