ed his home at 15S Railway street, at
moor today, for his midday lunch, he
found his mother, Mrs. Mary Hansen.
81 years of age, lying unconscious be

had fallen into a wood box and her
hip was lying against the stove. Fortu-
nately, the fire was low IN the range,
and was almost out when the son re-
turned, so that the burns are slight.
Mrs. Hansen is lame in one limb, and
was attacked with heart failure, fall
ing as she leaned over to get some
fuel for the stove. Mr.. Hansen picked
her up and placed her in her bed, sum
~TIoning some neighbor women, who are
now with her. DR.. Hamilton was call
ed. The lady's condition is critical this
afternoon.

"WHAT WOMEN WILL DO"
is A BIG PRODUCTION.

An interesting event in local theatri-
cal history will be the initial represen-
tation in this city next Monday night,
February 8, at the Opera House of the
new play with the significant title,
What Women VIII Do" The play
deals with the idyllic rural life during
the first and last acts, but the other
acts are laid in Paris, and depict every
phase of modern life. The play teaches
a beautiful moral lesson and shows the
inevitable triumph Of virtue over vice.
The piece is full of novelty and happy
surprises, and mingles laughter and
pathos in a natural and human man.

Engineer Killed at Bridge.

The death of Engineer Ben Cutting
Of the Evanston-O Ogden section of the
Utah division in Weber canon a few
days ago, while he was leaning from
his engine watching a hot box, his
head coming in contact with the tim
bers of a bridge, is the third in the
past few years on the Union Pacific in
exactly the same way, one of them oc-
curing les this city. Railroad men
are ordinarily very careful, but in
these instances they were more in
tent upon saving company property
than their own lives, seemingly. Mr..
Cutting was almost instantly killed,
being dragged from the cab and his
body hurled into the river below. The
fireman stopped the train and went
back and picked up the ~lifeless body
of the engineer.

Closed for Want of Coal.

When the rolling mill closed the
days work yesterday afternoon it was
with the understanding that the rolls
would not start today, due to shortage
of coal. Late in the afternoon a couple
of cars arrived and word was sent to
the men to show up this morning.
Afterwards it was found that the two
carloads were unfit for use in the fur
naces and again the men were mott
fed. 1t is hoped to have both trains
running tomorrow. The merchant
mill, it is uderstood, may be closed
next week until the 10th of February.
The bar mill is expected to run reg
ularly.

OF SLAYER OF STANFORD
WHITE GIVEN TO TWELVE
MEN JUST BEFORE
NOON TODAY.
Judge in Charge Says Defendant
Should Have Benefit of Doubt as
To His Sanity, Burden of Proof
Resting With Prosecution, But
Warns Jury That There is Law to
Consider in Arriving at Verdict.

New York, Jan. 31.-Today for the
second time the fate of Harry K. Thaw,
the slayer Of Stanford White, passed
into the hands of a jury of his peers.
The twelve jurors retired at 1:4O this
morning, after listening to the charge
by Justice Victor j. Bowling, who
sought to impress upon them that the
burden to prove the sanity Of the de,
PENDANT rested upon the prosecution
throughout the trial, and declared that
il from all the evidence of the case
the jurors entertained a reasonable
doubt as to his sanity, the defendant
was entitled to the benefit of that
doubt. At the same time, he pointed
out the provision of The statue which
provides that the only persons Xcus-
ed from criminal responsibility are
those who suffer from such defect of
reason as either not to know the ma
ture or the quality of their act or not
to know that the act is wrong. "SonIv
may hold this is too hard a test" COM
mented the court, but it is the law.
1t is clear, explicit and reasonable.
Mark you, the law says defect of rea.
son. and | must instruct you that de,
feet of reason is not the opinion a man
may hold as to the justice or correct
ness of his own acts, lor the opinion
that the laws of the land are wrong.
Hatred and revenge are not insanity.
Most crimes are committed from just
such motives as these"
Mrs. William 1'haw, her son., Josiah,
and her daughter, Mrs. George l.. Car
negie, and Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
were in the court room while the JUS
tice was reading his charge. AS the
jury were leaving they asked for all
exhibits in the case. This fact is TAX
en- to indicate that they would be some
time at their deliberations.

HOGS FOR MARKET
FROM MiLLBRoOk RANCH,

%. j. Bell arrived yesterday after,
noon from the Millbrook ranch with a
bunch of 10 peafed hogs which he
had sold to Ed Hartman to be slaugh-
tered for the local market. The ami
mails weighed 253 pounds upon deliv,
cry and will bring Mr.. Bell nearly 81,
800 as the purchase price. This is
perhaps the largest sale of hogs for
pork ever made in the state of Wyo-
ming and certainly along the Union
Pacific railroad. They are a part of
several hundred head he is ~fattenine

Ore in Development Shaft.
BY going back from the mouth of
the opening an incline can be dug that
will greatly facilitate the operation of
the shaft, the miners using a tramway
instead of a direct up1ift. In the pro-

ers have encountered a f~fteen-foot
vein of splendid ore. a new vein from
the one the shaft was originally sunk
on. The ore carries copper, gold and
