THINK HARRY THAW WILL NOT Die
S. G. Mayer Found Gotham Believing
Thaw Will One Day go Free.


New York people generally believe
that Harry Thaw will not die in the
electric chair but that the money be-
hind the prisoner will cause the case
to be drawn out through so long a Sc
ries of trials and technicalities until
one day jury will be found which
will acquit the slayer of Stanford
White, according to Sol G. Mayer, who
has just returned from a fortnight's
business journey to Gotham.
"The general sentiment seems to be
that the Thaw case will go the way of
the Molineaux case" said Mr.. Mayer,
land that Thaw's money will pay the
attorneys fees until a jury of twelve
men will be at last secured who will
set him free"
Mr. Mayer says that New York cares
a good deal more about the lighting Of
cigaret by Thaw than about the
sparks that flash back and forth be-
tween Tillman and Roosevelt down at
Washington. In fact the New York
newspapers got out an extra whenever
a new juror was added, or some other
equally minor incident took place.
''But on the whole" said Mr.. Mayer,
81 believe the newspapers are trying
to reflect public interest in the case
which does not actually exist. People
you meet on the street declare that
they are losing no sleep over the mat
ter of whether Thaw shall die in the
chair or live to linger on in his way
ward and degenerate career.
While in the metropolis Mr.. Mayer
was one day a guest at club house
which, he was informed while there,
was the last building that Stanford
White, the slain architect, designed.
1t is beautiful building and monu-
ment to the murdered mans art.
One of the notable features in a
business way which impressed Mr..
Mayer was the rapid strides which
have been taken by little individual
stores for mems and women's wear.
During the past few years these small
stores, handling limited but high
grade class of apparel, have come into
existence all over the city. The hui
man desire to buy suit from some
body whom you know and who knows
what you want better than you know
yourself" is the cause of this growth,
in Mr.. Mayors opinion.

LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC MEETING.

ground of restriction of personal lib

pastors of the city, and declared that
public sentiment was so strongly In
favor of the measure that the legisla-
ture could not afford to overlook 1t.
Instances were cited of the good sim
liar law had already done in the south
ern states.
From the standpoint OF sports
man, Senator Byrnes of Platte earnest
ly advocates further protection for the
game of Nebraska. He is heartily in
favor Of bill now before the legisla-
ture to prevent the sale of wild game
at any time of year, declaring this to
be the surest way of preserving the
game of the state. Also he would stop
all spring shooting, insisting that II
such a law is passed there will be ten
ducks nesting in the state where now
there is one. He says he has killed
ducks in April that were ready to lay
their eggs. Under the present law
ducks and geese may be killed up to
April Is. Senator Byrnes declares that
the automatic gun, which shoots five
or six shots rapidly, simply by pulling
the trigger successfully, ought to be
outlawed. He says that the present
prairie chicken season, from the first
of September to the last of November
is too long. In order that quail might
increase in Nebraska, he says that he
would be willing to close for several
years the present quail season of the
first two weeks in November. Mr..
Byrnes explains that he voted for the
wolf bounty law because he believes
that the coyote, one Of the keenest
scented animals in existence, is dead
ly foe to birds that nest on the ground.

ROASTS MADDEN.
Fry's Wonderland Magazine Says Post
office Has Been Unfair.

Ed A. Fry, editor and publisher of
Frys Wonderland Magazine, issued at
Niobrara, pays this sizzling tribute in
Postmaster General Madden:
Fry's Wonderland Magazine has
been unjustly treated by Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Madden in
depriving it of the periodical rate of
postage on very slim grounds. To not
be admitted to the second-class rate
places this magazine in the third-class
and subjects it to postage of four
cents a copy-a prohibitive rate for
any periodical.
Mr. Madden has for years been an
tagonistic to the legitimate press, but
to that class designed primarily for
advertising purposes, or for free circu-
lation, or for circulation at nominal
rates" he has never used his big stick.
1t seems to be the local effort to which
he objects, because, unlike a news
paper, magazine is known to be, not
local, but OF a general nature. 1t is
designed to circulate, not in locality
but throughout large areas of country
and its contents are chosen and ar.
ranged on that principle"
Before railroads and steamboats,
stage coaches and sailing vessels did
very well. A horseless carriage was
stoned by farmers in England for fear
that it would supplant the horse. Mr.
Edisons latest invention promises tc
fulfill that long deferred fear by the
introduction of his storage battery
Mr.. Madden should live in a past age
not in a progressive age like this
Wonderland does not object to logica
actions for the improvement of any

truth the postotiice inspectors SHOULD
be asked to investigate. This denia

BAD GANG IS broken Up
CATTLE THIEVES ON ROSEBUD
HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
FIVE MEN WORKED IN CROWD
" is Reported at Sioux Falls That a
Gang OF Cattle Rustlers Working on
the Rosebud Have Cleaned up a
Thousand Head Of Stock.

Thousand Head Of Stock.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. Accord
ing to information received by United
States authorities here, gang Of
horse and cattle thieves, which for
number of years has infested the Rose
bud reservation, in the extreme south
central portion Of the state, has finally
been broken up. Every member of the
band, five in number, is now under ar
rest.
The members of the gang have been
unusually bold and daring in their OPP
erations. 1t is said they have run off
not less than thousand head of hors.
es and cattle. The particular charge
on which they are arrested is the theft
OF bunch of thirty-sx head of cattle,
which they took to the Nebraska side
of the line and sold.
The ringleader of the gang is Joseph
Ferron, who was arrested several
weeks ago and is confined in the coun-
ty Jail in Sioux Falls awaiting trial at
the April term of United States court
Ferron's lieutenant was William Nor
gan, who was arrested at Fairfax last
week, and on direction of United States
Marshal Seth Bullock was taken to the
Lawrence county Jail at Deadwood for
safe keeping until his trial.
Through the efforts of Captain Jack
Foster, a government brand inspector
stationed on the Rosebud reservation,
the remaining members of the gang
have now been placed under arrest.
They were run to earth and made pris-
oners at the new town of MurdoMc
Kenzie, on the Chamberlain-Bla Hills
extension of the Milwaukee.
Since Ferron was placed in the coun-
ty Jail in this city he was visited by
Captain Foster, and il is believed that
the officer at that time secured infor-
nation which assisted materially in
the arrest of Morgan and the remain
ing members of the band.
