WYOMING JUSTICE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
FIRST WOMAN JURY

In late issue of the Saturday Eve
ming Post there is AN article by Ar
thur Train, Twelve Good Women and
True" the subject of the woman juror,
winch is now agitating the Arizona
legislature somewhat The experiment
he says. was first tried in Wyoming
and 1t was then an experiment, by
Chief Justice John H. Howe who. by
the way, was the father of Mrs. Jes-
sic Howe IIigley of this city.
The chief justice had been appointed
by President Grant. 1t had been found
to be difficult i'm Laramie to get jurors
who would convict, so that the chief
justice called women in. In charging
the jury the chief justice used words
which, said Mr.. Train, had never be-
fore been heard on land and sea: La
dies and gentlemen of the jury
He told them that the eyes of the
world were on them and he declared:
1T will be q sorry day for any man
who shall so far forget the courtesies
due and paid by every American gen.
tleman to every American lady as even
by word or act to endeavor to deter
Won from the exercise or those rights
with which the law has invested you.r
But the prosecuting attorney was
not sure that the law had so invested
them and moved to quash the panel
on the ground that it was not exclu
sively composed of male citizens, as
required by law. But" said Mr..
fTrain, "the chief justice swept him
aside and declared that he held women
as eligible and so would hold"
On one occasion an attorney for a
defendant who had been convicted by
Il woman jury threatened to appeal.
Small comfort you will obtain from
that" replied the chief justice "for a.
majority of the supreme court, Judge
Kingman and myself, will sustain the
ruling of the district court inasmuch
as the judges of the two courts are
IDENTICAL"
The women jurors found no hesita-
tion in convicting men charged with
crime though sometimes they brought
in verdicts weeping.
Said Mr. Train: 1.-THE fact that the
system was being tried on the Laramie
grand jury and would shortly be tried
on the petit jury created sensation
throughout the civilized world and no
less potentate than His Majesty. King
William of Prussia, cabled General.
Grant his congratulations. Reporters
and crayon men swarmed into Lara
mic, caricaturing the lady jurors as re
pellent masculine creatures holding or

A few days ago woman APP
preached a special officer of the Santa
Fe at Williams, complaining mat she
had been robbed by a woman who was
stopping at the Harvey house. She
told the officer in reply to questions
by the officer that the money, two
silver dollars. had been taken from
her bag. The officer could hardly be-
lieve that such a robbery had taken
place, especially by a woman. but he
said that If a formal complaint were
made, he would be obliged to make
an investigation. The woman said
that she would sign the complaint, and
she did SO.
The officer went with her to the
hotel. and the alleged thief was point
ed out to him. She was a young
woman, fashionably dressed. Again
the officer baked. He said to the
complainant: You're surely mistaken;
such a woman as that could not be
guilty of such a crime" But the com
plainant was insistent; she had no
doubt that the girl was the thief
The officer called the young woman
aside, abjectly apologizing for the

WORK ON DIVERSION

CANAL CONSTRUCTION

That Cato Sells, commissioner of In
dian affairs. will issue Immediately the
necessary instructions to give the en-
gineer in charge of the Florence diver
sian dam full authority to undertake
also the work of constructing the nee
essary canals, is the gist of a letter re-
ceived yesterday by the chamber of
commerce from Congressman Carl
Hayden. The letter also carries the in
formation that it is doubtful if the di-
version dam will be of any benefit to
the farmers of the Florence district
this year. The letter follows in full:

DIR. J. M. SWETNA|M
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
At HIS HOME HERE

DR.. J. Nj. Swetnam died at 4:30
o'clock yesterday morning at his home,
174S West Adams street. of pneumonia
after an illness of several days The
funeral will take place this afternoon
at the residence under the direction of
the Knights Templar. of which he was
a past grand commander. The early
funeral is occasioned by the necessity
of the knights leaving tomorrow morn
ing for Bisbee, where the annual con-
clave is to be held.
DR.. Swetnam was 70 years of age.
He leaves beside his wife, a daughter,
Mrs. Louise Hull; a daughter by a
former marriage. Miss Nell Swetnam,
residing in Kentucky, and a stepson,
Howard Black. He leaves also a
brother in Kentucky. Within two years

ridiculous thing he was about to say.
He told her of the charge that had
been lodged against her. She rose in
indignation which the officer per
ceiyed was at least partially assumed.
The girl said that she was the daugh-
ter of Major SO and So, naming a we'll
known officer of the regular army
stationed at Washington. An uncle,
she said, was a general in the army
The officer was not inclined TO
doubt these connections, for the girl
evidently was cultured. But that had
nothing to do with the matter in the
complaint Then she began to
weaken.
II suppose you will search me-" she
said The officer had had no thought
of such futile search because of the
impossibility of identifying two silver
dollars. Then the girl broke down ut
terly and admitted that she had stolen
the money. Said she: Il was hungry;
/ had eaten nothing since / left Trini-
dad. / was desperate and opened This
woman's bag and found two silver
dollars" There was mother money in
a purse in the bag, but that was not
disturbed.

with reference to your telegram of

work which can be done on the per-
