Now Governor and Other State Officers
to Assume Duties on Holiday
Inaugural Ball That Night.

w. b. Ross will be inaugurated gov
ernor of Wyoming on New Years day,
as provided by law, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. There will be no postpone
ment of 21 hours because of the fact
that the date fixed by the statute falls
this year on a holiday.
The question of whether or not a
transaction taking place on a Sunday
or holiday is legal has been raised I'M
officially, but it has been agreed, it
was announced Tuesday, that, even
though Contracts and like documents
are not binding if signed at such
times, this provision does not extend
to matters like inauguratons.
Therefore, the ceremony will take
place Monday morning, January 1,
and will be followed by the inaugural
ball that evening. Both will be held
at the state house.

mar of the democratic state central

Final Proofs of Soldiers.

There has been more or less misun-
Outstanding and confusion among ex-
service men holding homcsteads as to
the time to be spent on the homestead
before final proof can be offered. The
following Instructions have been sent
out to all proof-taking officers by the
Cheyenne land office: IF a claimant
has had 10 months military service. he
must show seven months residence the
first year. but cannot submit final
proof until II months have elapsed
since the date of establishment of resi-
dence. This mean that 3G months
must elapse since the date of establish
ment of residence, less the time served
in he army or navy, before satisfac-
tory proof can be offered Persons de
string more detailed instructions con
corning the requirements should write
the land office for a copy of Circular
3O2.

John Watt was around today with

the game laws and his vigor in bring

Bootle gger King
to Die For Crime
Made a Million Dollars Smuggling
Whiskey Across Canadian
Line Into Montana.

Emile Picariello, king Of the border
b~ootleggers, and who is said to have
made over a million dollars in the past
three years in smuggling whiskey from
Canada into Montana, will be hanged
in Fort Saskatchewan Jail in n few
weeks for the murder of Stephen o.
Lawson, northwest mounted policeman.
With Picariello viii die his accomplice.
Florence ~Lassandro, an Italian girl of
much beauty. who has been the boot
logging kings sweetheart and partner
in his spectacular career of crime and
loot.
Lawson, the story of the crime
shows, went to the door of the police
quarters unarmed- walked over to the
car, and in the melee that followed he
was shot in the back by the girl, ac-
cording to her confession, with n .3S
revolver. PicalieIlo, or Emperor Pick
of the Pass" as he was known, carried
an automatic, the shots Of which went
wild. breaking the windshield Of the
death car and punching a hole in the
Speedometer.
1t is not likely that Picariello's law
yers will appeal, although it is under
stood an effort is being made for a
new trial. He has money, and no stone
will be. left unturned to delay the hang
ing set for February 81, exactly five
months after the killing Of Constable
Steve Iawson. 1t is unlikely that the
death sentence will be carried out in
the case of the woman. 1t is believed
it will be committed to life imprison-
ment. She is the first woman to be
sentenced to hang in Saskatchewan
province.
The case has been a sensational one.
due largely TO the notOriety of the
prisoner. The death sentence. passed
On this master h~ootlegger and condtmn-
ed gunman. it is believed, will have Il
effect on the r~um-running bust

S. P. Company Is

Drilling Stopped on Deep Well in Pick
Springs Field Future Opera
TORS Are PrOblematicaL.

The ii is informed that the South
western Petroleum Co. has decided
to abandon the deep well drilled the
past oar in the Pick Springs field ad-
jacent 10 Saratoga, and that the cas-
ing is now being removed and the hole
cemented up as required by the gov

several weeks will be required to re-
move all the casing and clean up the
well, which is said to have been some
thing over HOO feet in depth.
Many theories are heard as to what
will be the ley move of the Company,
but none are known to have any foun-

ion, however, that the showings of oil
and gas found I'm this well will lead
the Company to drin elsewhere in the
field, in the hope of striking a larger
flow. 1t is said that the formations
encountered in this well, together with

Air Mail Pilot Has
a Narrow Escape
Lost in Storm and Lands in Deep Snow
Walked for SO Hours Before
Finding Human Habitati0n.
(Rock Springs Miner.)

(Rock Springs Miner.)
Henry G.. Boonstra, air mail pilot on
the western division, who lost his way
in n storm a week ago, while CARRYING
mail from Salt Lake City to Rock
Springs, and who was cut off from all
communication from the outside world
for four days, is back on the job again.
arriving with n shipload of holiday
mail from Salt Lake.
When asked to relate his experience.
Mr.. BoOnstra stated that bad air and
a 40-mile west gale forced him to take
a landing last Friday morning on East
Ridge, located about 10 miles south
east of Porcupine Mountain in Utah.
In making the landing the plane slid
about $50 feet uphill. wearing off the
framework beneath the plane and the
entire gas supply was lost. All about
the stranded aviator lay a blanket of
snow some four feet deep. He knew
that he must find shelter or succumb
to the cold, so for SO hours he made
his way through the deep drifts, final
ly coming to Il ranch house occupied by
Ross Highly. BY this time he was ut
terly exhausted. During his fight for
life he had no TODD to serve as a slim
ulant-nOthing but snow, which he ate
by the handful. Rigby gave him food
n shelter and by Monday morning
he had regained his normal strength.
Accompanied by the rancher, HI then
set out on horseback for Upton, Utah.
In the meantime, Pilot Bishop of
Rock Springs had discovered the
wrecked plane. Ever since Boonstra
was reported lost, mail service was
suspended and all available planes
were used in the search for the missing
aviator. As o as the plane was To-
Gated. searching parties were organ
lied to locate Boonstra, sleds being
used In the search. When the aviator
reached Upton, he found a sled there
ready to transport him TO Coalville.
where an auto was in waiting to take
him to Sat Lake.
At Coalville quite a demonstration
was given Boonstra. a brass band cs-
corting him into the city. He was
asked TO walk in the parade, but ow-
ing to his feet being frostbitten and
sore, he was unable to comply with the
request, so a sled bore him through
the principal streets Of the town. A
dinner was given In his honor and in
the afternoon he started to Salt Lake
City via auto. Near Paterson. Utah.
the automobile party found Pilot
Henry Yeager who had been forced TO
land with his plane and 300 pounds OF
mail owing to leaks which had develop
ed in the water pump Of the ship, He
was waiting for a car from Salt Lake
City which carried repairs for the
plane, so the mail was loaded into the
auto, the pilot staying with his ship.
Just west of Ogden, the party met two
mechanics, who were going to Yeager's
rescue and they gave Boonstra a warm
welcome, one OF the mechanics having
always cared for Boonstra's ship.
At Salt Lake City the pilot was met
by Claron Nelson, chief at that field.
At the Commercial Club rooms many
kilograms Of congratulation awaited

points where WIS knOWn.

Karl Grossman, Germanys ''Landru,'
who came up for trial to-day, admits
Ave of the twenty murders of young
girls charged against him, but pleads
extenuating circumstances. The court
room was crowded with fashionable and
curious persons, but the judge decided
to hold a closed session, on account of
the gruesome details. Grossman's narrow
brow recedes to the back of his bald head,
and his small eyes are nearly hidden
beneath lowering eyebrows, giving him
the appearance of a degenerate. He
is the son of an inebriate, who also has
a criminal record.
Grossman already has been accused
Of twenty-four crimes, mostly offenses
to public decency. He exhibited a GER
tain slyness as he conducted his own
defense. The murders with which he is
charged reveal the most degenerate pre-
meditation.
The evidence showed that he took
quarters near the homes of poor girls
When they went forth in search of work
he offered food and lodging. Usually,
it was alleged he butchered his victims
the first night. He mutilated their
bodies, it was charged, and threw 4he
pieces into a river. He said he had in
tended making himself waistcoat with
the fragments of his victims clothing
