A NOVEL SCHEME.
Salt Lake Men Have New Method of
Capturing Wild Horses.


Salt Lake, Utah, March 1S.-A novel
scheme has been devised by two Salt
Lake men to capture alive the best
of the wild horses that roam in south
ern Navada. It is proposed to shoot
the animals with a bullet tipped with
magnesium and containing a gelatine
capsule filed with narcotic drug.
The magnesium, it has been found,
dissolves in the flesh and causes no
permanent injury if vital organ is
not penetrated, while the opiate de-
prives the game temporarily of the
power of locomotion.
In the nomadic equine bands are
many magnificent specimens. Stations
valued at $4,000 a head are not un-
common The present me thod of cap
ture is to wear them out by chasing
them in relays.
If their method proves successful in
Nevada, the Salt Lakers viii, try it on
wild beasts valuable for exhibition
purposes.

TOURS GRAND CANYON.
Colonel Roosevelt's Party Eats Lunch
con Beside the Foaming River.

Grand Canyon, Ariz., March 1S.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt lunched yesterday
beside the boiling waters Of the Color
ado river. 1900 feet below the rim of
the Grand Canyon. 1t was his first
visit and he is the first occupant of
the White House who ever made the
IA miles round trip to what is often
declared to be the most striking sight
nature has provided. in all the world.
Colonel Roosevelt led a cavalcade
composed of his daughter, Ethel; his
son, Archie; Chief Justice Kent Of the
Arizona territorial supreme court, and
several others, to the bottom of the
gorge. He was in leggings and yell
low riding clothes. Colonel Roosevelt
set the pace all - way and he was
beaming with enjoyment of it all when
he swung from his mule, military fash
ion, before the hotel on his return The
whole day was devoted to the trip. The
luncheon was a picnic affair on the
banks of the stream. On his return,
however, the colonel returned to bust
ness, going over the address which he
will make at Phoenix Monday relative
to the Arizona state constitution and
which the colonel regards as the most
important address during his present
tour, since it is the only one he has
prepared in advance. He revised and
corrected it after a conference with
Judge Kent.
Judging from his casual reference to
the constitution at several points along
his route. it seems that the colonel will
oppose the recall provision of the doc
uInent with reference to the judiciary,
the rock on which the effort to estab-
lish statehood split at Washington.
Colonel Roosevelt has made no di-
rect reference to that provision, but
he has minated what his position will
be.
The Roosevelt party left Grand Cam
yon early last night for Phoenix.
The formal opening of the great irri-
cation project which bears his name
was one of the reasons which led Col.
Roosevelt to attempt his latest speak
ing tour and he will press the button
which will release the first flow of wa
ter over the huge structure.

Own Behalf.
Says He Did Not Know Stamps
We're Stolen.
ADMITS BUYING THEM.
Got Sixteen Hundred Dollars
Worth From Burt.
Thought They Were Obtained as
Government Rewards.
ADMITS BUYING THEM

Wichita, Kan, March Isl. S.
Naftzger who is charged by the fed
eral authorities with receiving and
selling postage stamps, went on the
witness stand in his own behalf this
morning. He admitted buying stamps
from Frank S. Burt, former chief OF
police of Wichita. and he denied that
he even suspected that the stamps were
stolen from postoffices. The case will
go to the jury late this afternoon.
Naftzger testified that he bought at
different times a total of s., 800 worth
of stamps from Burt. The first pur-
chase consisted of $727 worth. The
transaction was made at the bank.
Il did not know the stamps were sto-
len." said Naftzger
Naftzger said he worked eleven
hours a day in his bank and that he
did not know poStof1ceS were being
robbed because he had little time to
read the newspapers. He declared that
the fact that he could buy stamps at
a discount did not raise a suspicion in
his mind as to where the stamps were
coming from. He said that on one
occasion Burt said he was getting the
stamps as rewards for arresting crimi-
nails wanted by the government. Naftz-
ger said he bought stamps two or three
times while he still had stamps from
former purchases on hand. He admit
ted that he twice visited the manager
of a department store in this city and
solicited him to buy stamps.
peck of stamps, some of them in
books, was poured on a table near the
witness as evidence in the case.
Did it not strike you as odd that
the government would be giving away
this miscellaneous collection of stamps
as rewards" asked the district at

USE CONVICT LABOR.
Law Passed by Nevada Legislature
Will Shorten Prison Sentence.

Carson, New, March 1S.-In the
closing hours of the twenty-fifth ses-
sion of the Nevada legislature, which
adjourned sine die at midnight Thurs
day night, law was passed providing
for the use of convict labor on a sys-
tenn of state highways. The labor is
to be voluntary, a small payment to
be credited to the men who elect to
enter the road making camps. In ad-
dition, an allowance of ten days off
their sentence is to be made for each
80 days of work.
Another law passed late in the ses-
sion against vigorous opposition, al
lows six months residence as a basis
of divorce suits, and permits such resi-
dent to leave the state in the mean
time in case of need.
