The main Rocky mountain mass is

The whole region is inhabited by

The bill provides that 1340 square

make such regulations as he may
deem necessary to protect the fish and
game and to preserve the park In its

section indicated contains 250 natural
lakes, while there are more than sixty
glaciers of varying dimensions. Sena,

AT FEVER HEAT.
Is Excitement in Cooper Trial-Sen-
sation of Two Days Attracting
Record breaking Crowd.

NASHVILLE. FEB. 19.-Absence
of some state witnesses and a desire
on the part of the defense to arrange
is plan of procedure caused an adj
journment this morning until to-
morrow in the trial of Cooper and
John Sharpe, charged with numbering
former SENATOR Carmack.
The state has satisfied itself with
offering testimony to prove that
Senator Carmack was murdered in
Nashville by Robin j. and Duncan R.
Cooper that John Sharpe, when he
heard the shots, knew what they were
without looking around and that
prior to the killing several confer
ences had been held This, the state
contends, is the foundation for proof
of conspiracy.
The state stops here and waits for
the defense to offer its case. Attor-
ney General McCarn has subpoenaed
sixty-four witnesses and has used
scarcely score. The others will
be held in reserve for rebuttal. The
defense has not issued a summons,
but says its witnesses will be present
without court process.
BY not issuing subpoenaes 1t pre-
vents the state from knowing the
names of the witnesses of the de-
Tense.
The only incident of today's testi-
mony was the states attempt TO prove
| by implication that the pistol holster
/ found in the dead senator's overcoat
pocket was put there by one OF the
attorneys for the defense when few
weeks ago he went to the morgue
and examined the clothes.
The witnesses testified that the
holster was not in the pocket when
the senator was killed. 1t was found
by Attorney General Washington OF
counsel for the defense when he tried
on the overcoat.
