on the ocean at the time and she did
not learn of the tragedy until she
landed in England. She returned i'm
mediately.
The Countess of Yarmouth au-
nOunced that she would come over
for the trial to be near her brother.
Dolphin NJ. Delmas, who had won a
great reputation on the Pacific coast
for oratory, was retained as the coun-

Beginning of Trial.
The trial opened on January %,
1907. before Justice Fitzgerald, sitting
in the Court of General Sessions. it
was not until February that jury
was selected, after 337 talesman had
been examined. Assistant District AT
tOrney Caravan made the opening ad-
dress for the state, Il really remark
able address for such a trial. The ad,

two hours the case OF the state was
made out.
The defence took just twelve weeks
The remarkable feature was the ties.
timony of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. She
went on the stand apparently just 4
slip of a girl, and in a brilliant due
with District Attorney Jerome came
off triumphant after the most terrible
cross-examination to which any wo
man was ever subjected. There was
but one thing that could be told &c
save her husband, and the young wife
told that. 1t was the story of her life
from the beginning. and especially hei
relations with the man who had made
up part of her life.
She told how she had begun to pose
TO support her mother and brother
how she had been brought to New
FORK; how she was first turned down
at the stage door because she was toe
young. and then Of her first engage
ment and of meeting Stanford White
The careful plan of White to gain
the confidence of her mother was all
made clear. Finally she told OF the
night when she, she declared. had been
lured to the Madison Square Garden
tower studio and there drugged by the
man who she had come 10 trust. The
recital made a terrible impression OF
the jury.

to welcome his little friend, as he
called her. She told him OF her quar-
rel with Harry, and White, taking adj
vantage of her temporary spleen, car
ricd her down to the office of Abe
Hummel and there was prepared the
famous affidavit which Evelyn since
has declared she signed through a
trick White told such stories that the
girl, bitter now against Thaw, refused
to see him on his return. He persist
ed At first she would have nothing
to do with him. Finally he convinced
her the stories were false, and she
came back to him. Again they went
to Europe On their return in October,
1904, they went to the Cumberland. a
great scandal followed. The hotel
management demanded that the young
man register as Harry Thaw and wife.
Thaw refused.
Then the management forced both
Evelyn and Harry Thaw to leave the
hotel. The girl. pursued by newspaper
men in cabs. sought the Waldorf, but
that big hotel was conveniently full.
| Then they went uptown to house on

err at the hotel Walton. Then came
official denials of any contemplated
marriage, but on April %, 1909, Ger
mony was performed at the Thaw
home in Pittsburg.
Mrs. William Thaw promptly took
the young wife under her protection.
There were teachers and social engage
ments and every indication pointed to
an end Of the storms.
! But the trouble was reilly yet to
come 1t was brought about by the
trips Of the young people to New York.
The bitter jealousy of Thaw for Stan
ford White would not down, and
though there was never any real cause
for that jealousy aftor the marriage,
it grew with increasing strength as
time went by

Yesterday was the windiest day

weather Observer Haftiinge in
formed The Sentinel that u velocity
of ~ miles was reached at about
1:3O am, and this breaks the rec

The highest velocity recorded dur

per hour on the 21st, in the year of
1901. The wind record of the local
station extends back to 1890.
The day could hardly have been
more disagreeable, and the wind
swept over the valley at II terrific
rate all day long. IL was exceeding
Iy unpleasant to be out of doors, and
maay people felt leary about remain

From all reports, no serious dam

few windows shattered and many 9TH

In speaking of his esteemed con-
temporary, Editor Bunting OF The
Grand Junction Sentinel says: But
why advertise the pinworm into any
resem blance of boa constructor
This far-removed cousin to simian
has made frequent reference to the
rotundity of our person. When the
country editor manages to become
rotund it should certainly be mat
ter of pride to the entire commun-
ity, as an advertisement of the re-
markable possibilities of the town
that claims him as a citizen; and
Brother Bunting is justified in wax
ing wroth when his contemporary
tries to sneer about the editorial av-
erdupois.=Lamar Sparks.

OLD TIMER
IS NO MORE

j. ID. Wiistach. one of the old
time residents of Grand juno
ton and for years one of the
best known railroad men of this
city, died yesterday morning Mt
his home on Third street and
Ouiay avenue, after brief ILL
ness of pneumonia.
The announcement of the death
came as a great shock to many old
time friends. who did not know that
Mr.. Wilstach was dangerously i'll.
The deceased was 90 years of age.
He came to Grand Junction with his
family about 16 years ago from La
Fayette, Ind, and, until short time
ago, was regularly employed as
railroad conductor. He was a mem
ber of the Masonic and Odd Fellows
orders, retaining his membership in
the |. o. o. F.. at his home town of
Lafayette. He was a man of splendid
character and was highly respected
by all who knew him.
This evening the remains will be
taken to the old Indiana home for in
terment. They will be accompanied
by the widow and the son, William
w. Wilstach. Members of the local
Masonic orders will accompany the
remains to the station
Uuueruaker hrOnn is IN cnarge OF
the arrangements.
The deceased was faithful MEM
ber of all of the local lodges of the
Masonic order. including the Royal
Arch Chapter and the Knights Tenn
plar Commandery. He demitted
from the New Albany (Ind.) Mason
ic lodges to the local lodges years
ago. He was also a member of the
local organization of the Order of
Railway Conductors. He had for
many years been member of Friend
ship Lodge No. %, l. o. o. F., of
Lafayette, Ind.
Had the deceased lived until to-
day he would have been just 50
years of age, today being his birth
day. He is survived by the widow
and one William w. Wilstach.o
The deceased was an active man
all his life and came from run on
the road only day or two before he
was stricken i'll. He was of modest,
retiring disposition; kind of heart,
generous and faithful to his friends.
His death is deeply mourned.
Short services were held at the
home this afternoon, conducted by
Rev. c. w. G. Lyon of st. Matthew's
church.
The remains will be laid to rest
with Masonic honors at the old home.

Just 10 minutes (officially) before
the hands of the big round clock
in the chambers of the two houses
of congress pointed to the hour oi
midnight the first session of the
Goth congress came to close. In
the house the closing hours were
characterized by the singing OF
songs by republicans in honor OF
Speaker Cannon, and by the demo
Gratis in the interest of William j
Bryan. The excitement, which was
great at times, frequently subsided
and the session closed with good fel-
lowship among the members. The
senate was extremely quiet during
the closing hours. held together only
by the necessity of remaining in ses
sion for the engrossing and signing

AND SHERMAN "SHOWED"
HOW TO RUN A PAPER

1t has been known by many peo-
pie in this county that Mr.. Sherman
was down and out" over a month
ago, so far as having any voice in
the business end of the paper but
that he yet has had an opportunity
of finding another "angel," which he
failed to do. The News under the
management of the above gentlemen
has been a very punk piece of
papyrus, and, by their city co
"style" and exalted ideas of what
constituted real newspaper these
two bantum bugbears have made
many enemies and did much to in
jure the Republican party in Mesa
county. 1t is hoped that the stock
holders, whoever they may be. will
hire a man to continue the business
who has got enough grey matter to
at least treat the public with some
little consideration, as it has great
deal to do with the success of any
newspaper. Any fool can run good
newspaper and loose money, and
more than fifty per cent of all news
papers are financial failures, but 1t
takes a pretty fair business man to
run a good newspaper and make the
balance come out at the end of the
year on the right side of the ledger.

Charles Baird Mitchell, who has
been the Presbyterian minister in
Ouray for the past year and half,
left Saturday for Lake City where he
preached the baccalaureate sermon
for the graduating class in that city.
From there he went to Denver for a
short stay and later will visit several
fields which have been offered him.
Mr.. Mitchell has been a faithful SER
want of his church in Ouray and it is
seldom that a minister has made so
many friends in so short time in
this city. A large number of friends
were at the depot on the morning of
his leavetaking to bid the departing
minister a hearty Godspeed. 1t will
be many day before another
preacher of Mr.. Mitchell's ability
comes to fill this pastorate.-Ouray

LADIES OF CITY
} ORGANIZE CLUB

1t was. certainly matter of sat
isfaction to those who have party S
interest at heart to see the large and
representative assemblage of ladies
gathered at tn court house Saturday
night for the purpose of organizing
the Grand Junction Ladies' Bryan
Club.
About one hundred ladies respond
ed to the call for the meeting and
enthusiasm ran high. The meeting
was most interesting and pleasant.
Addresses were made by Mrs.
Mary C. C. Bradford. the brilliant
Denver writer and debater, and Mrs
Barney T Napier of Glenwood, one
of the best known ladies in western
Colorado, and by other ladies pres
ent.
That the ladies of the city are anx-
ious to do their part toward carry
ing the county, the state and the
nation for democratic principles
there can be no doubt. That William
j. Bryan is the choice of the local
democratic ladies for president is un-
disputed.
Following the addresses, steps
were taken to perfect the organiza-
~tion, and the following officers were
9hosen:
President-Mrs. James w. Buck
lin.
Vice president-Mrs. Samuel N.
Wheeler.
Secretary-Miss Rozelle.
Treasurer-Mrs. Charles T. Tro-
bitz.
Committees were appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws and
attend to other such matters. The
club will meet at regular intervals.
1t was announced at the meeting
last night that Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Leavitt, daughter of the great COM
moner, will probably make visit
to Grand Junction in the near flu
ture in company with Mrs. Barney
7. Napier, and will deliver address
es before mass meeting in this city
of the members of the different la
dies Bryan clubs of the valley. This
announcement was received with
great pleasure.
The meeting Saturday night was
great success, and the club promis-
es to grow and widen its influence at
rapid rate.

1t now seems probable that Den

at the democratic state convention
at Glenwood Springs, and the party
in the state at large will be called
on to settle another of the petty rae
tional scraps that should be fought
out in Denver's own back yard. II
the Denver politicians insist on in
