B, Colonel Reed, since establishing a first cla“s bathing beach on the north side of the lake, has made arrangements with a Racine boat building firm to furnish a number of very light red cedar boats and shells for pleasure and racing purposes for both ladies and gentlemen. The chief objection to the Deach on the other side was the extra cost in getting there and the entire absence of light boats for pleacure purposes. The alleged prosecution of County Treas urer Reed on the charge of assaulting A. M. Waite of Omaha turned out to be something of a flasco yesterday. The information had been filed at Reed's request, merely for the purpose of warding off any wmore serious pro- ceedings that might have been started by Walte. When Waite did not seem to want to prosecute Reed’s complainant decided to stay away, and the case was dismissed for want of prosecution.

Gable, John Freese and J. B, Alle charged with running a lottery by the aid if the United States malls, was com- pleted and given to the jury in the federal court yesterday afternoon at & o'clock. Shortly before 11 p. m. the jury came in with a verdiet of guilty against each of the defendants on six different counts. This disposes of the case in which the Perpetual Maturity Bonding company was involved, for Mr. Gable stated last night that neither he nor his codefendants had the means with which to appeal it to the higher court It is belleved in court ecircles that the sentence, which will be imposed early this week, will be nothing more than a fine, by reason of the previous good character of all the defendants, The trial of the bond occupled the whole day, but no evidence was taken after 11 o'clock. The witnesses on the stand in the morning brought out the fact that the association had taken in about $13,000, but had paid only four bonds, or $4,000. Where the other $5,000 had gone was a mystery which the defendants could not explain, further than it went to carry on the e penses of the business. The arguments of the attorneys took up the rest of the day and the case went to the jury at 5 p .m In his instructions, Judge Woolson took a very decided position, concluding his re- marks with the statement that the bond scheme was nothing more than a lottery, and that if the jury did not bring in a verdict of guilty its opinion would be very different from his, cose NNISON BROS.

TWENTY PAGES | A RAILROAD 10 123 THE PARK | Pushing tho Iron Horse to the Wonderland of Wysming. OPENING UP THE BIG HORN ‘COUNTRV The Coffeen Bl the Natie Through t Use 10F 'h Raflrond nl Park for Jol and Subject to Federnl Regulation. The question of a southeastern entrance by rail the Yellowstone National park has received serious consideration from rail- road managers. Two years ago it was all but settled that the Burlington would reach the southeastern extremity of the park in time to boom the road among tourists at tie World's fair. For some unknown reason the project was abandoned, temporarily at least. The people of northern Wyoming are vitally interested in the construction of the road, and are now actively at work removing the obstacles heretofore encoun- tered. In this connection the following ex- planatory comment from the Cheyenne Tribune will be of interest Appended below fs an Important and in- teresting communication from one of the most prominent citizens of Sheridan county bearing upon the proposed construction of a railroad westward from Sheridan and through the National park. It gives a clear idea of the popular sentiment on the question in the northern part of the state and presents the advantages that such a road would give in a trenchant and practical way. Like everything else that is suggested for the benefit of the public it has already been taken up by political demagogues for politi- cal purposes, and a great hue and cry s being raised that the jron horse would dese- crate the park. Sentiment is all right in its place, but there is very little sentiment in bumping along in an old-fashioned coach to view even the wonders of the Yellow- stone k. The construction of a railroad from Sheridan to the park would at once increase the travel to this greatest of na- ture's marvels 1,000 per cent. It would dis- cloge to the world the matchless resources of the northern country and it should be carried_through. The Tribune wishes to ern neighbo that is is enterprise and will aid it and influence. Read wh ent_sayi The Laramie Republican of February 16 publishes a letter from L. C. Tidball in’ ref- erence to Congressman Coffeen’s bill to cure better and cheaper facilities for visit- ing the Yellowstone park, also an editorial on this letter. This letter is entirely unfair and mislead- ing, to use mild terms. The purpose of the bill in question Is to perform an act of justice to Wyoming, long delayed, to vastly benefit our state in op-ning up the Big Horn mountains, the “Basin country,” Idaho and parts of Montana, besides being of great value to the country at large. Former gov- ernors of our state have referred to the Yellowstone park as hawing been donated to the people from Wyoming territory, but the state itself has never been able to derive any benefit from the park. The question naturally arises, will this state ever be able to assert itself enough to derive the ben=fit from the park it Is justly entitled to? The Coffe:n bill in brief Is to permit one road to build an east and west line through the park, this road to be jointly used by any and_all roads connecting therewith. The Tocation of the road to be under th: direction of the sccretary of the interlor, provided said road shall not come nearer than one-fourth of a mile of the natural wonders or curiosi- ties of the park. All rates or charges of whatever nature to be' made by the govern- ment. Three per cent of the gross earn- ings shall be paid to the government for the maintenance of: the park and all government frefght to be carried free of charge, and congress reserves the right at any time to alt:r or repeal the privilege conferred. Practically it 18 a government road to be paid for by private capital. This bill is of interest to Wyoming in that it causes a vast extent of country to be de- veloped In the northwest part of the state. and gives our people direct and cheap access to the park, which at present Is controlled by the Northern Pacific railroad and a syndi- cate of hotel keepers and stage line managers, whose charges are exorbitant and treatment of persons who are unable to pay their rates so intolerant that this class leave the park in rage and disgust at the ‘‘manage- ment” of this ‘‘public_park or pleasuring ground for the people,” as designated by congress. If there ever was a biil framed for the people the Coffeen bill is entitled to that distinction, It has the appearance of hav ing been framed by a populist and should have the entire support of that party, at least if they are sincere in their doctrine. Nine-tenths of the people in this part of the state, of whatever party, are enthusiastic in_the support of this bill. There may be a few who have signed a bi of remonstrance, but the facts have been misrépresented fin every case, the usual plea being that the Coffeen bill is to enable a railroad company to stake out its line so as to Include all the wonders in the park, and then charge the people toll to use the sites. This s so unfair and so dia- metrically opposed to the bill as to deserve the contempt of all fair-minded persons. The truth of the matter is that certain parties here are trying to create a populist boom in this part of the country, but they are doing their party a great deal of harm, as the bill is justly popular and gains ground every day. People with a sentimen- tal feeling for the park who look carefully into the merits of the bill universally be come its strongest advocates. Letters are received here every day from people living in the basin praying that this bill may pass, in order that the settlers may have an opportunity of reaping some just return from having acted as pioneers in_opening up an inaccessible country. Efforts are being made to connect Sheri- dan directly with Cheyenne and the south- ern part of the state, which, with the com- pleticn of the B. & M., a short distance to the Northern Pacific railroad, will place Cheyenne and Denver closer to the mining region of Montana than St. Paul and Minne- apolis. to say to our north- with them in this with all its power t our correspond- in Excellent Health Reports In the press stating that George Parker, United States consul at Birming- England, is suffering from quick con- n, it appears are erroneous.

I invite you as my last words to impale him, to hold him aloft, that the world may be warned, and justice will cry amen and amen.” JUDGE'S CHARGE TO THE JURY. At 2:30 Judg: Bradley began his charge to the Jury. The following Is a summary of Judge Bradley's charge to the jury: Judge Bradley spoke first of the pollution of the case. He said it contained few in- teresting legal points and if the parties had been obscure it would have attracted but little attention. But, because one of the parties had national 'prominence and bicause, he feared, of the character of the details, it had attracted a large and some. times a vulgar crowd. The court and even some of the jurors had been besieged by letters, conveying suggestions to which the writers had not the decency to sign thelr names, He belleved the jury had followed the injunction to discuss the case with none, It was inaccurate to say that the com- munity at large was a third sarty to the case. Except to see that justice was done between the partles the world at large had no interest in the case. Public opinion should not weigh a feather-weight, ab- stract principles were not to be vindicated, nor the country girl, the home and the family. Personal opinions or wishes based on the relations between the parties or other facts were not to be considered. It was only a question whether a contract to marry existed and whether, if broken, there was an excuse for brenking it. The verdict | was not to vindicate the character of either party. Although if the testimony was unfit to ‘be reviewed it was to be sald, to the credit of both parties, that they handled the delicate details as care fully and decently as possible. Nearly all of the counsel had observed the same re- straint, and he regretted that this could not be said of all the counsel, Here all eyes were turned Thompson. Any revolting standards of manhood which had been set up were not to be welghed as evidence, nor were collateral | | toward Phil details to be allowed to obscure the main issue. The credit to be placed upon the testimony of plaintiff and defendant where they differed was to be judged in the light of the character and lives of the two, as shown, and of other circumstances affecting their credibi After revising the contentions of the two parties briefly he read the legal instructions granted, which have already been printed. In explaining one of the instructions the judge said that if the defendant had any | knowledge of improper conduct on the part of the plaintiff when he promised to marry her, if he did, his action condoned those offen Explaining another, he said that the defendant, quoting a Massachusetts opin- fon, could not be excused from failure to perform a marriage contract by legal in- ability to fulfill it, because his legal in- ability did not lessen the damage to the plaintift from his failure to marry her. There must be grosser unpropriety than that testified (o by an regarding a mock marrlage, to form an excuse for a fallure to fulfl a marriage contract, the judge said, and he quoted Jullans testi- mony. Lewd and lascivious conduct meant more than Julian Pad' testified to, or Rosello, who told only of such acts as are Sopmn between people engaged to be mar- ried. To sum it all up, if no contract was made, or if it was agreed to with the under- standing that it was not to be carried out, the verdict should be for the defendant. If a contract had been made and broken they were to find the plaintiff, awarding such damages as they saw fit. Their verdict must be formed upon the preponderance of evidence. The jur 3 o'clock.

LOUISVILLE, April 14.—The Journal The Jjury in the Pollard- Breckinridge case has brought in its ver- dict. 'The trial, which for weeks has crowded the court room wit hthe morbid and the purient and which has poured such vapors of pollution throughout the land is now over. Let it pass from the public mind. The press has done more than its legitimate duty in reporting the proceedings. Many news- papers have seized the opportunity to pander to the depraved and the vicious by add- ing to the functions of the journalist thos of the scavenger. It is to be hoped now t even this element of the press which has done so much to discredit self-respect- ing Journalism will find it no longer profitable to pursuc this foul matter. Let it be left to the.court records, and let us trust to the wholesome sunshine of Amer- jcan manhood and womanhood to drive out the poisonous germs with which the moral atmosphere has been contaminated FRANKFORT, Ky., April 14.—The people of this section watched with interest for the verdict of the Pollard-Breckinridge trial. The Dally Capitol appeared in an extra issue a few minutes afier the news was received from Washington, and in half an hour every man and nearly every woman in the city had heard of and were discussing the ver- dict. But one person in the whole town has been heard say that the plaintiff should not have recelved anything, Breckin ridge’s friends are doing very little talking The consensus of opinion among the man. who express an opinion is that the verdic 18 a just one, and that it will be folly for him to even think of appearing in this dis trict as a candidate PARIS, Ky., April 14.—The verdict in the Pollard-Breckinridge case is belng thorough- ly discussed here tonight.

A Broncho Buster Gives the Cowmen a Few Lessons. One of Colonel Dodge’s stories, in “Riders of Many Lands,” is of a mining cook, a “quict slouch of a fellow, mighty clever over his pots and pans.” The boys lived in | clover, and voted Jim the best of his kind; but it was noticeable that he could not be got nmear a pony, or anything else on four legs, unless he could cut it up for the ket- Finally, in the spring, when the bronchos had to be got into working order again, and the business of breaking them was lively, Jim would some times join the circle of bystanders, and perhaps pass his comments with the res One day when one of the best of the men had tried all his ponies except a certain vicious plebald, a notorious outlaw, which it was really a risky business to touch, but which looked sheepish enough when stand- ing still, somebody asked Jim if he didn't want the job of saddling and riding him. “Wal, I guess not,” said Jim; “but I think I'd be spryer about doin’ it if I'd got to. All hands fell cried out: “Try it, Jim, try I Wal, boys,” answered the cook, “I don’t know much about them bronks, but I guess I could rida him." After that there was no room for backing out. Jim made a good deal of fuss getting ready, and wes awkward with his spurs but finally the pony was roped and saddled, and Jim prepared fo mount “Made yer will, Jim?" asked one. “Why not tie a pot on your head, Jim?” said another. Finally the to laughing, and many cook was in the saddle and the broncho rose, and the crowd backed away respectfully. For an instant the broiicho stood still, ears back and eyes full of mischief. ~ He had not been mounted for month Then he arched his back and gave a littlo hoist and a lash-out with his off hind leg. The boys looked to see Jim topple; but the quondam cook was changed beyond recognition. he slouch had all gone out of him. He sat like a Centaur, heeding neither rcign nor stirrup. Nettled at Jim's strong grasp, the broncho began in earnest. He reared and plunged upward; he plunged forward head down; he kicked as only a Kentucky mule or an outlaw broncho can Kick; he pitched and ama down on his stiff legs with a force i ol nsaa ey e el of the boys who stood looking on. Jim never budged from the saddle. He scemed lashed to it The boys stared with eyes like saucers. “Hullo!” and a long “Whew!" was all you heard The fun went on, and Jim's spirits seemed to rise with the occasion. He chuckled audibly, grabbed off his hat, slapped the pony over the head, Kicked him between hoists, laughed outright, and screamed to the blue looking crowd: ‘Cotched a_tenderfoot, boys, didn't yer? Didn’t know I'd been bronk-buster for four years! Then with a “Go 1t!” to the pony, he dug his spurs into him and drove the half- frightcned, half-astonished beast hither and thither at will. “Guess I'll go bustin' agin! Feels like old times!
