BRINK is FOUND GUILTY
Convicted of Murder I'm Case whore
Three sheeDmen Were

BASIN, Wyo., Nov. ll.-(SpeciaI TeIe-
glam.)-For the first time in the history
OF range feuds In Wyoming, a conviction
was obtained in a murder charge when the
Brink Jury this morning presented a YER
dict finding the defendant guilty Of murder
in the first degree, punishable with death.
Presentation OF the finding marked the end

Today a jury was completed and the trial
Of Thomas Dixon on a charge similar to
that on which Brink was convicted Will
begin. Two jurymen examined for service
in The trial were excused by the court be-
cause they declared they were biased in
favor of the defendants and would not
bring in. a verdict OF guilty.
The Brink case went to the jury at s
o'clock last night and 1t was considerably
after midnight when an agreement was
reached, According TO reports, the first
ballot stood eight for conviction and, as

After Indian
Purchase Station
They May Try to Get Depot from Chi
cago or Omaha or
New One.

ST PAUL Nov. 1L-(Special )--St. Paul
and Minneapolis jobbers are organizing to
secure a larger portion of the trade of the
Indian bureau.
A meeting of prominent business men Of
the two cities has just been held, at which
It was decided to present a petition to the
Indian bureau to establish a depot ~ the
Twin Cities, and If this could not be
brought about at least to secure to loca-
tlon here Of a purchasing agent with whom
they could deal direct and to whom they
could make deliveries. Some of the strong
est men in the two cities have been named
on this committee and they are busy pre-
pairing data of the amount of supplies used
annually In territory which they hold is
naturally tributary to the Twin Cities, and
also to make a showing of the distribution
facilities Of the cities. They have not yet
definitely decided whether they win ask
for the removal Of the Omaha or. Chicago
depots TO this point or simply the estab-
lishment OF an additional depot here. There
can be no doubt. however, that they pro-
pose to make a determined effort to secure
some of this business which they think is
now going to Omaha and Chicago jobbers
and to which they are entitled.
The movement has not progressed far
enough yet to line up political influences
in its behalf, but an effort in that direction
will follow within a few days
In addition the wholesalers OF the two
cities will ask the bureau to modify it's sys
tenn Of delivery and OF payment which
they insist are onerous and practically pro.
hibit anyone outside OF a supply depot city
from bidding on supplies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. n-Weather re-
ports from Kingston, jamaica, which the

Information regarding what has occurred
there since that time.
There has been no general topic dis

weather bureau from points in the other

that some submarine earthquake has
caused the interruption to the cables, No
earthquake Of any magnitude however,
has been recorded on the seismographs OF
the weather bureau, or the coast and

HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 1L-Communica-

Grey Noncommittal
On Tariff Program
Canadian Governor General Opens
Parliament with Plea for Do
minion Navy.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 1.-THE second
session of the eleventh Parliament opened
today. The governor-general, Earl Grey,
read the speech.
The speech reaffrmed the position taken
by Sir Wlfrid Lauriers government in the
joint resolution of Parliament adopted last
session regarding naval defense, which
simply enunciates the necessity for Can
ada undertaking a share in the empires
naval defense, maintaining autonomous
control of its own navy, but working in
harmony with the imperial navy.
No definite answer was made as to
whether Canada shall build its own navy
or have 1t built in Great Britain, or make
a cash contribution pending the establish
ment OF a neucleus for g. Canadian fleet
Regarding tariff changes the speech was
equally noncommittal,
Indications are that the naval policy will
be the principal subject OF discussion this
session.

prisoner and that she will be acquitted by
the jury.
Just as the prosecution was closing its
evidence the prisoner renewed the implied
threat she had several times made to
broach scandal that would involve persons
Of high standing, but again, as on the
previous occasions, Judge DeValles' invi-
tation to proceed with her revelations
was met with silence. Today in a flash
of passion she cried out My past con-
tains interesting chapters"
Judge Dealles, unmoved by the Interrupt
tion, promptly and sternly replied: You
are at perfect liberty to say anything that
you please"
Nine Steinheil, however, went no further
and the case Of the government was de-
olared closed
The first witness Introduced by the de-
fense was a chauffeur, who testified that
Nine. Steinheil gave him A for trying to
locate the blue automobile which was re-
ported to have been seen in front Of the
Steinhei home in the Impasse Ronsn at
