Killing at Fl. Steele

Sundey night at Fl. Steele
Melvin Davis killed his sister,
Mrs. Frank Ryder with an ak
We are unable tie learn just why
he committed the crime, and the
only a he can give, is that he
was temporarily insane at the
time he committed it. He would
have killed the two oldest girls
but they escaped him in his
frenzy. Mis-. Ryder is the wife
of the pump man at Fl. Steele
and is the mother of six children.
Had it not been for the interfer-
ance of one or two of the cooler
headed citizens the rest would
have lynched Davis. at the time
when he WAS caught. He was
given a preliminary hearing in
Tuesday, after the in
quest, and pied insanity.
He attempted to strangle the
two girls and one of them had
her neck badly bruised before
getting away from him. A case
of insanity like that ought to be
treated to quick justice, as it is
nothing more or less than a bad
temper getting away from a man,
as he was perfectly n appar-
before and after the crime.
He is kept closely guarded to pre-
vent lynching, and he is prob
ably safe unless moved from the
county Jail to the pen.

School for Detectives.

Wyoming School Tor detectives
The Wyoming School for Defec.
ives. originally known as tn,
(.Home for Feeble Minded ant
Epileptics," at Lander. opened fol
business June goth.
The building, an imposing brick
structure, handsome in appearance,
Inspnifcently located, is a credit
10 the state. 1t is modern in every
respect, finely furnished in mis-.
sion oak, and equipped in a most
complete manner. The principal
Instructor, Miss Petersdorf, has
a large experience and is II of
the most competent and skilled
teacbers in this line of work in the
wesr. The entire corps and atten-
dants and employees have been
selected as especially fitted for
their positions, by the superin-
tendent, and every arrangement
fol the care, comfort, happiness,
we'll being and instruction of all
the inmates has been peovided 1t
is a mistake to suppose that the
School is a kind of branch insane
las lum. Nothing could be farther
from the fact. 1t is neither an
asylum, hospital nor reform school,
but in the fullest seuce of the
word. a school for backward and
slow or apparently stupid children
as we'll as a home for them and for
those whose mental or physical con
dition renders them unable to cope
with the problems of life success
fully. Epileptics are received and
cared for here, but nothing un-
pleasant or disgusting is to be OBJ
served among the inmates, who are
|of course, segregated as in other
schools, according to their vari-
|ous abilities and conditions. Many
parents shrink from placing an af-
|hicted loved one in the care of the
|State, failing to realize the advan-
|tages to the child of special teach
ling and skilled care, nor consider
ling how much more certain is it's
future, where maintenance, care
and protection belong to it a long
as it lives. A condition impossible
to obtain in any other way. and
one which the death Of parents,
other relatives or friends in no way
affect or changes A visit to the
School and it's happy ~contented
little community would effectually
dispell any misgivings in regard
to the present or future welfare of
the inmates. Pupils are allowed
vacations, or visits home on suita-
BILE occasions, at the wish of their
parents or guardians, and may be
be withdrawn from custody when
those who have a legal right desire
to take charge of them, giving
them proper care and support.
The School and Home is a great
public charity, but those who are
legally responsible for the care of
the inmates are, if pecuniarily able
to do SO, required to pay a moder-
ate sum for board, tuition, etc.
Others become State charges and
every thing is gratuitously pro-
yided.
Having resided in Wyoming
since early '73, attending a large
clientele professionally, being per-
s%onally acquainted with a large
percentage of the citizens of the
State, | have no hesitation in in
vlting and advising any and every
II who has a relative or friend
requiring the care of such an in
siitution, or the comforts and safe
ty of such a Home to take steps
Immediately to secure it's benefits
for the one in whom he or she is
interested. Every information will
be gladly and promptly furnished
when requested.
