INSISTS ON DEATH
PENALTY FOR MURDER
Western Press.

Western Press.
DENVER, Nov. 22.-In his opening
dress this morning Special Prosecutor
Horace G. Benson asked the jury in
the case against Gertrude Gibson Pat
terson to bring in verdict Of murder
in the first degree, and asked that the
penalty be the highest that can be
imposed under the law, namely, hang
ing by the neck until she is dead.
Mr.. Benson carefully refrained from
stating what the highest penalty is,
but asked that it be imposed never
the less. He started his argument
by reviewing the case from Saturday,
the day on which George w. Strain
gave Mrs. Patterson the revolver with
which the shooting was done, until
Mrs. aPtterson's arrest and including
the statements had made in Chief
of Police Armstrong; office after she
had been taken there by Sergeant of
Police Mcintyre, following the fatal
shooting of her husband.

FARMINGToN NOTES.

PENNINGTON, N. M, Nov. 21.-
Pennington is promised train in
from Durango one day this week, but
as mail is coming through by stage
three times a week and Navajo steers
are yet plentiful and fat knockers are
few.
The construction company having
the contract for constructing the new
city waterworks are having troubles
a-plenty. A citizens committee, ap-
pointed by the city fathers to inspect
the work so far done, have handed
in their report and it points strongly
to bad work and indifference TO the
contract. The committee claims and
points out that several clauses of the
contract have already been evaded and
it is not believed the city will stand
for it.
C. H. McHenry, Richard Graft
and Attorney Martin are back from
attendance at the Denver apple show
and report the event great success.
Late reports from Shiprock say that
damage done by the late flood in the
San Juan river country is being rapid
ly repaired and improvements more
extensive than ever are being made.

TALE OF OUTRAGE
TOLD BY ITS VICTIM

Western Press.
LINCOLN CENTER, Kas., Nov. %
Mary Chamberlain, the school teach
err of Beverly, whose tarring by u
gang of men near Shady Bend has
aroused wide indignation, has told the
jury the story of the attack
Apparently at her ease, Miss Cham
berlain answered the questions of the
attorneys as to the details of the
tar party" Once she became anger
ed at questions propounded by the
defense and flashed back sharp an
swer, but she quickly recovered her
even demeanor. Her story of the af-
fair was related amid dead silence in
the court room, as every spectator
leaned forward eagerly to hear her
dramatic recital.
Miss Chamberlain's story was dra-
matte in its simplicity. She gave d
coherent narrative of the episode in
low and even voice, and not once
did she entirely lose her self control,
nor did she speak with any feeling
against the defendants. Had she been
telling the experience of some other
person she could not have been calmer
1t was not the freshness of Miss
Chamberlain's story that held the in
terest of the hearers for she told but
little that was not already known.

MANDAMUS
CITY DADS

Attorney L. P. Main is preparing
an application for writ of mandamus
in which the councilmen of the citv
OF Durango are named as defendants.
A copy of the complaint will be print
ed in tomorrow's Herald, and it will
show why it became necessary to
bring the action.
Charles E. Herr ct al. are named
as plaintiffs and they feel confident
of success. Their prayer for relief
is, that writ of mandamus shall is
sue against defendants commanding
them to pass an ordinance for a char
ter election in not less than sixty
days. In order to get a peremptory
writ it is necessary to give defend
ants ten days notice, and Attorney
Main is making arrangements to have
the case heard before Judge Pike on
Dec. 5.
Secretary George Raymond says
there is still some money in the fund
that was raised to carry on the com
mission government campaign last
spring, when the people voted for it
by a majority of 1877, and there is lit
tie doubt chat more can be raised if
it is needed. At any rate a S5 docket
fee has already been paid to district
clerk, John Meuser, and it is plain to
be seen that there are some lively
times ahead.

Fienchill was discovered by a cham
bermaid in an unconscious condition.
When the police arrived they order
ed Pienchill removed to st. Mary's
hospital for medical treatment and
then began search for his wife. They
found her in another room with two
men, and all had been drinking. The
three were taken to the police head

A SMALL BLAZE.

AT 6:d5 this morning the fire bell
gave warning to the citizens of Du-
range of fire in the vicinity of Sixth
street and Main. Shortly before dat
time one of the window awnings on
the second floor Of the Savoy hotel
was discovered to be on fire. Before
the flames could be extinguished, the
awning, window curtains and the win
dow frame were damaged, but the fire
was out by the time the city depart
ment arrived.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t is thought that spark from the
chimney, or from cigar smoked by
some guest on the upper floor, may
have smoldered on the cloth of the
awning until it burst into flame, but
ii is only conjecture.

John Smith had good time in Du-

trouble.
Smith was accused of having left
the red light district with watch
and a revolver that did not belong
to him, and when he arrived in Man
cos he was arrested and yesterday he
was brought back by Marshal Critch-
field and arraigned in Judge Ball
reich's court. The explanation he
gave did not satisfy the judge that
he was entirely innocent, so he was
fined S5 and costs, and the next time
he comes to Durango to have good
time he will be careful what he takes
away.

COST NOT
A REASON
Three -FOurtfs Of Mill Lew
Would Furnish Fund for
a Charter Election

Last night when Alderman Hsnno
voted against the ordinance for =
charter election he surprised NO one.
Last spring at the first meeting of the
present council he declared himself
III favor of commission government,
but he has been working against it
ever since, SO everyone has known
Tor long time exactly where he
stands on the proposition. He Is
against it and everyone knows it
But it was different with Alderman
Jarvis. Until last night no one knew
whether he intended to vote for the
ordinance or not. He was absent
when the ordinance was defeated be-
fore, and some Of the men who are
working for commission government
were of the opinion that he would
have voted for it if he had been there.
The friends of the movement knew.
of course, that it would take five votes
to pass the ordinance, but they knew
that Aldermen Wingate, Meuser, Lo-
gan and Wertin voted for it the last
time, and many thought that Jarvis
would vote with them the next time
the question came up. His vote against
the ordinance, therefore, was q great
disappointment to many people, and
the reasons he gave for his vote are
not likely to make them feel that he
is the kind of man they thought
he was when they voted for him.
His reasons were, that the cleo
tions would cost more money than
the taxpayers can stand and, there
fore, notwithstanding the fact that
a large majority Of the people voted
for commission government he
thought it was his duty to now save
their money for them by voting
against it. He said he didn't know
much about commission government,
but he understood it was going to b.
a very expensive undertaking, and a.
the recent flood has put the taxpayers
to large extra expense in the way
of repairing roads and bridges, he
thought the charter elections should
be postponed to some future time.
Like the other men who are opposing
commission government, and who are
doing everything they can to defeat it,
he used the time worn argument that
it will be a greater expense than the
taxpayers can stand, but like the 9TH
ers he did not try to show what the
actual cost would be.
But Alderman Wingate has been
listening to these lame arguments 70
long that he came to the meeting pre-
pared to refute them, and when jar
Wis had concluded his remarks he Of
fered the following clear and detailed
statement which shows the highest es-
Inmates that can reasonably be made
on the cost of installing and running
the city government under the new
system.
In the first place he showed that
the voters at the last municipal elsc-
ton were distributed as follows, based
on the vote for aldermen:
First Ward, total vote, 378.

IN
HYDE CASE

Western Press.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. Ex-senator
Reed resumed the opening statement
for the state when the Hyde trial was
resumed today and the jury heard for
the first time the story Of the alleged
buying of cyanide by Dr. Hyde. SEN
ator Reed outlined graphically how
DR.. Hyde at the drug store of Hugo
Becklein, as Senator Reed said the
state would show, ordered six FIVE
grain capsules of cyanide of potas-
sum, thirty grains in all, and how
the amount and kind Of poison so
surprised the clerk, as the state would
prove, he would not sell the drug
until he had consulted Mr.. Brecklein.
