would not march in the parade arr
ranged for Saturday as "reproof" to
President Roosevelt for his Meyer

Federated Union the committee Of
three. originally appointed TO call upon
the President. arc seeking to-day 10

and viii carry out their postponed mis-
sion.
AT the time Of the publication Of the
Presidents letter to the Chicago unions.
the committee gave up hope of doing
anything, because they were unable to
make an appointment through Secre-
tary Loeb. For this they were severely
criticized by the big contingent favor

manifested itself much TO the surprise
Of tho radicals

one-half Of the laboring men they rep
resent are favorably disposed. the COM
mittee has more hope of accomplishing
its purpose with Roosevelt Their
new mission is 20 have a "heart-to
heart talk" with the President. and no

DOVER, April 29.-There was rush
OF farmers last week upon the agrscul-
tural stores through lower Delaware. and
particularly In Dover. for the mechanical
corn planters which have been UNIVERSAL

lists. The sudden outbnrst OF spring

to get their corn in the ground and some
appeared half frantic at tho agricultural
implement stores. Manager Gus Frazier
Of one of the Dover depots was Obliged TO
go for several days without his meals cx-

cause farmers would brook no delay
The mechanical planters are not only
exceedingly speedy, but save the back

ammunition; how lots were drawn TO

Packer might live to get back to civil
ization and thrill it with his mon
strous tale. Packer was forced by pop
ular clamor to lead crowd of min
ers TO the place, on a broad plateau
about 20 miles from Lake City, where
he claimed that he had buried the
bodies.
They We're all found, hut no money,
gold dust or other valuables they were
known to have had when they disap-
peared. Another suspicious circum-
stance was the fact bullet holes were
found in the, backs of the heads.
Packer was arrested and charged
with the murder of his five compan-
ions. A jury convicted him of murder
and the punishment assessed was
death, reduced in a later trial to forty
years confinement of the death OF
each man, making the total sentence
OF 200 years imprisonment.
He was finally sentenced to serve
the first forty years. Il was over the
Packer case that Tammen and Bon.

here by w w. Anderson, attorney
