MAY BE FIRST
 HUNG IN KANSAS IN FIFTY YEARS

Ieavenworth Kansas, Mar. 31- Robert F. Stroud, of Juneau, Alaska, will be the first man legally hanged in Kansas in almost 50 years unless President Wilson saves him by exer- else of executive clemency.
 The last legal hanging in this state took place in 1870 and the death pen alty was abolished in Kansas in 1907; but Stroud was tried and convicted in federal courts for murder com n1itted in the federal penitentiazy here and sentenced under federal law to be hanged.
 Another unusual feature of the case is the fact that he would have es- capped with life Imprisonment if he had. not insisted upon a third trial which resulted in a death sentance- If it is carried out he will be the first man to be exeucted in Leavenworth
 prison
 Stroud was serving a 12 year sen-
 tence in the penitentiary for the kill ing of a man in Alaska in a. quarrel over a dance hall girl, when in 1916 he attacked Andrew P. Turner, a
 prison guard, and stabbed him to
 death with a dagger which he had made from a table knife, and carried
 in a concealed pocket in his coat Stroud asserted subsequently that , Turner had called him a name. For this killing Stroud had three trials. In the first he was found guilty of murder and sentanced to death, but the court of appeals re- nanded the case on the ground that the trial judge had failed to inform the jury of it's privilege of bringing in qualified verdict limiting his punishment to life imprisonment In the second trial the jury availed itself of this legal provision and sentenced him for life. Stroud's lawyers felt
 that they had gained a victory but at the prisoners insistence the case was
 again appealed, and at his third trial l Stroud was once more found guilty ] and sentenced to death. The case
 was carried to the United States Su- preme court which affirmed the sen tence.
 1 Stroud has been aided by his moth 1 CT, Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud who came
 from Alaska in an effort to save his | life. She appealed to President. Wilson 1 to commute the death sentence.

where it costs 33 cents to haul ton
of products with horses.
With this opportunity of reducing
his hauling costs so per cent it is
only natural that the farmer should
be turning to the motor truck as a
means of getting his produce into
town.
This matter of hauling is only one
of the things in which the farmer is
beginning to consider very carefully
the cheapest way Of doing every-
thing. He has come to realize that
every hour he spends in doing un-
productive labor means an increase
in the cost of producing his yearly
crop, and hence a decrease in the
net prolt for the years work. He is
coming to realize the great impor-
lance of time and labor saving.

Helena, Oct. 21.-Men who take

results. Of course, every nee in

AS a rule, however, betting odds are
pretty accurate straws to show which
way the wind is blowing. A case in
point is the recent shift in the odds
on the gubernatorial race in Montana.
Until a few days ago Wheeler money
