Flanders Hanged
For Wife Murder
At Rawlins, Wyo.

Rawlins, Wyo., June 16.-Willard
Flanders, convicted wife murderer,
was hanged at the state penitentiary
early today. The drop fell at 2:54
He was pronounced dead at 3:07:20.
Flanders was awakened from a
sound sleep at ESQ and taken by War
den Aston direct to the death house
This is a poor place to do any
talking" he replied quietly when
asked if he had anything to say.
Apparently Indifferent to his fate,
he refused ministerial consolation and
entered the death house, head erect,
cool, collected. The drop of four feet
broke his neck. The condemned man
ate hearty supper last night and
spent the evening absorbed in a mag
azine until at l0:45, when he turned
out his light and went to bed.
Willard Flanders was convicted of
shooting his wife and neighbor, Sam
uel Aultz, from ambush July II, 1914.
The shooting occurred on the road be-
tween Flanders ranch and Hulett,
Wyo.
According to evidence offered by
the prosecution at the trial, trouble
between the two men was accentu-
ated by the appearance of Aultz at
the Flanders ranch while Flanders
was choking his wife following her
refusal to sign deed to permit him
to sell property owned jointly at
Chadron, Neb. Mrs. Flanders ap-
pealed to Aultz to accompany her
home. Later Mrs. Flanders and her
H-year-old son and Mr.. and Mrs.
Aultz in separate vehicles started for
Hulett.
Flanders by short cut through the
hills reached a point on the road
the four must pass. As they ap-
preached Flanders stepped onto the
highway, accosted Aultz with an oath
and shot him, turned upon his wife
and shot her while on her knees she
pleaded for life. He made no effort
to molest his son and Mrs. Aultz,
who fled, but returned to his ranch
and awaited the arrival of officers,

Omaha Candidate, in Letter to

ADVISES PARTY TO FOLLOW SUIT
EXPECTS T.R. TO BE FOR HUGHES

DR.. w. o. Henry, candidate of the
progressive party in Nebraska for
United States senator, has withdrawn
from the race. He advises his party
members to support Hughes and Fair
banks on the national ticket and SUIT
ton and Kennedy in Nebraska. DR.,
Henry's letter to Secretary of State
Pool, announcing his determination,
is as follows:
Omaha, June l3.-Hon. Charles w.
Fool, secretary of state, Lincoln,
Neb., my dear sir: | hereby authorize
you to withdraw my name as the pro-
gressive candidate for United States
senator.
While l personally believe that
Theodore Roosevelt is the most cap
able man in the United States to wise
ly and successfully handle the prob
lens which will confront this govern
ment in the next few years, and
whilst l believe the interests of this
country and the race would be best
served by him in the presidential
chair, yet since that is now out of the
question, | believe that Justice
Hughes is the next best Qualified man
to fill the office of president of the
United States. Therefore, think it
very important for all the progress
sives to join in the effort to elect him
to that position. | am further con-
vinced that the progressive element
in the republican party is so well in
control of the party III this state and
IN the nation, and the platform is so
progressive that the members of the
progressive party not only can well
come back into the republican fold,
but under the present urgent need of
our country today it would be almost
criminal for them not to do so. There
fore, | feel that we should withdraw
our candidates and endorse the entire
republican ticket in state and nation,
Hence | am Withdrawing as above
indicated to use whatever influence |
may have in the interest of the re-
publican ticket. In my opinion, Justice
Hughes should be the next president
OF the United States, Judge A. L.
Sutton should be the next governor
OF the state of Nebraska, and Hon,
John L. Kennedy should be United
States senator from Nebraska, To
these end would like to see all pro-
gressives IN the state of Nebraska
unitedly work. l expect Mr.. Roose-
welt to come out and push for all he
is worth for the election of Hughes
and Fairbanks, and l will be greatly
disappointed if he does not, but whel-
er he does or not will in no manner
change my views nor hinder me from
carrying out the plans above indicat-
ed. Respectfully yours,
"DR. w. o. HENRY"

MOREHEAD BACK
WITH HIS BOOM
Nebraska Governor and His Retinue
Hope It Will Assume New
Proportions.
JUST FOR ADVERTISING" USES
BY EDGAR SNYDER,

St. Louis, June 16.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Governor Morehead with his
retinue of trained democrats, occu-
pants Of the state house, shouters,
claquers and admiring citizens of a
state famous for its corn, alfalfa, but
ter and statesmen, entrained at 2:15
today for Lincoln.
Through the courtesy of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, a special Pullman was
attached to the Wabash train leav-
ing at the hour named. The COVER
nor's party will go to Kansas City
and thence to Lincoln by the Missouri
IaPacific.
Among those in the party were in
addition to Nebraska's chief execu-
tive, Eugene Mumford, secretary to
the governor; H. Z. Gooch, ]. l..
Cleary, l.. B. Tobin, Clarence Har-
man,, E. B. Gaddis, J. w. Jones,
George Hall, state treasurer, w. B..
Eastman, insurance commissioner
State Representative Trumble and
Judge Quigley of Valentine.
Boom Wrapped Away.
Governor Morehead's boom for vice
president, carefully wrapped in oil
silk, was part of the impediments Of
the delegation, and was sacredly
watched over by the keeper of the
boom, Eugene Mumford, the real
simon-pure keeper of the sacred nom
nation; Bill" Price, deciding to en-
trust it to the custody OF Mumford,
care taker, of the royal household.
Had Roger Sullivan and Senator
Owen and Elliott Major stood for the
vice presidential omination, More
heads name would have been pre-
sented to the convention in all SER
iousness, but when Sullivan and Owen
withdrew yesterday afternoon, More
heads friends decided to follow suit
While it is a problemmaticaI as to
the number of votes Governor More
head would have received, those in
charge of the Morehead boom stated
today that he had promises of dele
gates fl om Oklahoma, Iowa, Idaho,
Wyoming ad Ohio.
Added to Calling List.
This, however, can be said in SER
iousness. Governor Morehead made
many friends while in St; Louis, his
democratic ways and his affiable man
ner attracting hundreds to him. Now
state secret, the Morehead boom
was started for advertising purposes,
it being the intention of the real "Bo-
Hoys" in the South Platte to run the
governor for United States senator
two years hence.
Now please do not say told you
