PREFER DEATH BY SHOOTING
Utah Murderers Never Choose the Al
tsrnatfve Of HANGING.

tentative OF Hanging.
WHY do condemned murderers choose
shooting In preference to hanging2
Since the state OF Utah passed law
giving convicts this choice, Arthur
Pratt. warden Of the Utah state pris-
on. has not had one who would go to
the saIlows. On one occasion MUIR
deT1r refused to make choice, and
the tudge sentenced him to be hanged
Pratt was warden of the Utah penf-
Tertiary when 1t was government
prison twenty-five years ago. Eight
years ago he was appointed warden
and since that time has made 1t one
of the model prisons of the country.
Utah has a law which allows con-
demned murderer to choose either
hanging or shooting as a mode of dy-
fng.n said Warden Pratt. This work
is done by the sheriffs Of each county,
but In the penitentiary yard. So far
we have not had man who has chos-
en- hanging. Once a murderer refused
to make a choice, and the judge SEN
fenced him to be hanged. Shooting is
the more humane. It is painless and
instantaneous. The condemned man is

chair and If he desires is blindfolded.

TO the People of ElIcnSburg:

TO the People Of Eclsburg:
About year ago gas franchise was awarded to
Mr. Wright Of Olympia; the franchise providing that a
site should be secured and the plant be established by
June |, 1911.
On account of financial Mr. Wright trans
fered the gas franchise the Ellcsburg Gas Company,
of which company Mr. w. W. Seymour is president. Up
taking the franchise the company proceeded
to purchase consisting of five lots at the foot of
Fourth Street, upon which site they expected to locate
the gas plant In addition to furnishing they had ar
ranged to furnish steam power to different industries near
the site, also furnishing steam heat for certain brick
blocks.
The Council by ordinance refused to allow the gas
plant be located upon the site secured and the company
compelled to change all their plans and look for an
other site III the meantime pipes laid by the
company all through the paved district to the amount OF
about four miles OF pipe.
On account Of mot being allowed utilize the site
cured for the plant and other the company have
been unable to conn etc the plant within the time slecl-
fed in the franchise and have asked the Council for one
years extension of the franchise. agreeing if given this
extension the franchise to the city anyone
else upon being reimbursed for amount expended, should
they not proceed with the building OF the plant as soon as
required by the Council.
The company have already expended about 100000
and have gone into the building Of gas plant in Eens
burg in good faith and if given reasonable extension
they will proceed with the instaent Of gas pipe in the
paving district and build gas plant in Ellelsburg
which will be a credit to the city.
operated in other cities by Mr. Seymour speak for them
selves and believe the people Of ElAensbrg in ia
of giving the gas company the required extension.
thereby enabling them protect the capital already in
vested and proceed with the building of the plant.
While many attach high value to a gas franchise
it will require the expenditure Of great deal of mon
ey and the lapse Of time before plant alone would be
paying basis i'm city the size of EllcnSburg The
franchise Provides however, that fair share Of the
mos shall be paid the city after five years.
The gas company have 100000 cash deposit with the
city as an earnest OF their good faith and intentions and all
they ask square deal, and believe that the citizens
