PAGE SIX JUDGE THANKED BY DEEENDANT. Wife Slayer Gets Court and Jury Mixed in Expressing Apprecia- tion for Escaping the Gallows RAWLINS, Wyo., March 28.—Judge V. J. Tidball of the Carbon ‘county district court is nee inordinately cur- ious, but he doubtless .is, wondering why William Preston thanked him when Judge Tidball sent for the murder of the latter's wife. The sentence was imprisonment for life—the limit and likewise the’ mini-| mum. The only severer sentence rec ognized by Amevican law could not be| pronounced because the jury had tied the court's hands by qualifying its verdiut to provide that capital punith ment should not be inflicted. ~ Perhaps Preston, a negro, was thankful because he was not to be hanged. If so, his thanks were due the jnry,_not the cour GOLD WEATHER AND FAR (5 FORECAST FOR WEEK WASHINGTON, March 28.—Weath: er predictions for the week beginning Monday are: Northern Rocky Mountain and Pla- teau regions: Freezing temperature at beginning of week and normal there- after, generally fair.

If I were incompetent in Chiro- practic as are some who pretend to practice medicine, then holding a ii cense from the State Board of Med-! ical Bxaminers would not make me competent. If a Chiropractor were willing to lower his dignity and apply for examination to the Medical Board he could not get a hearing, for the simple reason they would immediate- ly tell him that his school of learning s not recognized by the board. Further, there is no man of his pro- fession on the Board of Examiners.

Bowman who returned Sunday night from a several. days’ business tour through the Big Horn Basin. Mr. Bowman states that Bil- lings, Cheyenne and Denver papers which heretofore furnished the ‘north- ern part of the state with daily news are rapidly being supplanted by The Tribune. “Wonderful spirit despite reverses” says Mr, Bowman, “is the outstand- ing impression that one gains on a visit ‘to the Big Horn Basin, Optim- ism is reflected in the hard work that is being done to make this year’s crops carry the ‘burden of last year's losses.” FORMER RESIDENT TO BE LAID AT REST WEDNESDAY | ‘Funeral. services for Mra.
