ments concerning the award of the
Panama bonds and three per cent GER
tifcates, together with the recent
financial transactions OF the govern
ment, and also embodying information
as to the general state of the nations
finances during the closing months of
1907, a period oyer which the recent
financial panic extended.
Tenor of the Report.
The report, which is accompanied by
a long letter from Cortelyou, embraces
a list of the repositories and the
amount of money placed on deposit
there on various dates; a list of other
banks, with the amount of national de-
posts and security held therefor;
statements showing the condition of
the banks ON August % and December
80, and the amount of bank notes out,
standing at various periods; lists of
banks and individuals who received
Panama canal bonds and lists of those
who bid for the bonds without receiv-
ing allotment, and subscriptions Of the
three per cent certificates of indebted
ness; data concerning clearing house
certificates and other financial trans
actions which took place during the
period mentioned in the resolution.
Strong Step Necessary.
The secretary defends the issue of
Panama bonds and treasury certifi'
Gates by saying that it was advisable
TO take some strong n resolute step
which would convince the public, both
at home and abroad, that the govern,
ment was thoroughly alive to the stu.
ation and determined to give aid in
every possible legal and proper form.
Concerning the allotment of the new
issue securities, the secretary says
their character was such that it was
ANTICIPATED that most of the subscrip-
tlons would come from the national
banks; that the two per cent bonds
Afforded such privileges to National
banks as the basis for note circula-
ton; that outside investors would find
in the bonds nothing more than the
best form Of security paying only two
per cent, and that it was expected, and
this expectation was fulfilled, that the
bonds would be used chiefly as a basis
Tor additional note circulation.
Confined to National Banks.
The secretary thought he was justi-
fed in the restriction exercised in the
awards. For the same reason, he con-
lned the issue of three per cent Ger,
uhcates as much as possible to the ma
uonal banks.

Duty of State to Prove Thaw Sane, and

New York, Jan. 29.-Martin w. Lit.
Teton, chief counsel for Thaw, today
made an appeal to the jury which is to
pass judgment upon his client. Be-
fore a crowded court room, the attor-
ney devoted himself to demonstrating
that Thaw was clearly insane when he
killed Stanford White.
Evidence Sneered At.
Littleton declared that the serious
evidence of the defense had been met
only by sneers and insinuations from
the district attorney. Thaw's insanity.
he said, was not a thing born of ex-
igency, but was heredity-a part of the
very history of the man.
Had Produced Facts.
Littleton said he was convinced that
the defense had produced facts to tend
to show that Thaw was insane beyond
all doubt, though the law had not i'm
posed that duty upon it.
Up to the People.
1t was for the prosecution to prove
Thaw sane, and Littleton asserted that
he could not misunderstood how Je-
rome could come before the jury and
claim that he had fulfilled the burden
placed upon him, and ask for Harry
Thaw's conviction of murder.
The speech was listened to with
close attention by the jurors.

Laramie, Wyo., Jan. %, 1908.

Laramie, Wyo., Jan. 25, 1908.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Perhaps the best way l can tell you
of the difficulties that present them
selves to the small stockman in this
portion of the state is to go over the
changes that have taken place on the
Laramie plains during the past twenty
years.
A Period of Uncertainty.
The cattle men in this vicinity were
never sure of their range. What was
u range one year would sometimes
be gone the 2ext or so overstocked that
raising cattle was Improbable. When
| first settled on the Big Laramie we
had good range south of us, but after
a few years Messrs. Balch and Bacon
bought a big block of railroad land
and fenced it all in, taking the gov
eminent land as well as the odd sec.
tions. That shut us out there. We
then turned our cattle on the plains
between the rivers and had good rang
for several years.
A Thousand Steers.
One year Mr.. Haley dumped a thou
sand S-year-old steers on us and it
made poor picking for everybody, but
outside of that the ranchmen on the
Little and Big Laramies and the Pho
neer canal had the plains to them.
selves.
And Then the Sheep Came.
Five years ago the sheep came. 1t
was an unusually dry year. All the
lakes in the big hollow dried up ex,
cept two, and it vas a band of sheep
with a herder and a wagon camped at
each lake. Our cattle wouldn't go
near there and drifted back to the
Sodergreen lake and to the Hecht
ditch for water and hung around the
fences until after haying, when we took
them into the fields, poorer than they
went out. That was our first expert,
ence with sheep. Since then we have
had plenty. l may say that by right
of land ownership in the vicinity neith-
er of those bands of sheep had any
claim to the range between the Lara
mic rivers.
Took to the Hills.
We moved again, this time up in the
hills. The next year, 1 think, Mr.. Bell
bought a lot of railroad land adjacent
to the Little Laramie and put sheep
out himself. Another man, l think his
name was DeWeese, either bought and
made one payment or obtained an
option on a lot more railroad land. He
demanded pasturage fee for grazing
on his land, but Mr.. Owen would not
stand for this charge and followed
us up in the hills. Another band in
charge of Mr.. Small also came up.
There was lots of room there then, be-
cause none on the ditch turned up
and only n from the Little Laramie,
so our cattle did not suffer any, but
We could see what was coming. It
was only a matter of a year or two
and the sheep would have that range
too.
Did Not Care to Fight.
We had moved as far as we could.
We could leave the sheep men in pos
session, keep what little stock our
small holdings would support the year
around at home, which with most of
us would not furnish a decent living.
or We could fight. But a range war,
even if successful, settles nothing. The
bone of contention is still there. like
e sm%ouldering fire half quenched. Any

water, was perhaps instantly killed

miles from this place, and the remains
are now here, in the hands of County
Coroner ]. A. Ballard, who arrived to-
Gay from Laramie. The coroner will
probably hold an inquest. Deputy
Sheriff Thirkeldsen is also in the camp.
Load Turned over.
Laughlin had a team attached to a
log sled and was coming from the
choppers camp with a load, when it is
presumed the load slipped and turned
the sled over, catching the driver IN
derneath. He had probably been dead
couple of hours when the body was
discovered by a couple of boys passing

Laughlin was a sub-contractor, being

own team and was working by himself.
He was about 35 or SO years of age
