~ - rights to
women. In fact when congress,
In 1868, created the Territory of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho, a constitution
was adopted which gave women
the right to vote.
There were rumOrs of early
Spanish explorations in Wyoming
but they seem unfounded by
fact. Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sleur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region In 1743 in
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1904 the Yellowstone
was first visited by hunters, al
though the fame of its scenic
beauty was not given much Gre
dence until 1870 and 1t was set
aside as q federal reserve in
1872.
The first permanent fort in
Wyoming was erected in 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream of immigrants passed
through this region on their way
to the California gold fields a
string of forts were erected
along the Oregon Trail to pro-
tect the travellers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming went not
only the Oregon Trail, which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide, Kit Car
son, In 1872, but also the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes
many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and set
tied there as the country was
the most arid of all our states.
The discovery of gold In 1867
led to. the founding of South
Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty
fourth state of the Union In 1890
and is eighth In size with an
area of 1914 square miles.

Young will die in the electric chair
for the GarwOOd murder some night

never is announced beforehand.
just year ago Young plotted to
regain his freedom. He was then in
the Camden Jail. 1t was the honesty
oe Edward Young, father of the mur
derer, that defeated this scheme to
win through to freedom.
Young plotted with another prisoner,
who was about to be released, to shoot
his way out of the jail floor on the
top of Camden County Courthouse.

Young. The condemned murderer then
planned to shoot his way out as sooi,
as an opportunity arose. With his
great strength, the officer declared latcr,
he might have succeeded.
The short sime prisoner went to
iOung's fatherwith the proposal. The
elder man put him off with pretext,
and Mortified at his sons desperate plan
hurried to County Prosecutor Wolver-
ton. Later the short-term prisoner
called to see Oung. He was seized and
searched and locked up. No weapon
was found on him.
During the trial Young made another
attempt to escape from the Camden
jail. trying to work scheme similar
to that which was defeated today. He
attempted to swing himself up to a
skylight by means of the chains used
tC regulate It.
