WHY HASKINS DIDKT HANG The Remarkable Defense Put Up by a Denver Murderer. il ““When 1t came to shooting a man out | Denver way in my time,” said Bill Smith, | dean of the guides, “the court's verdict most always reflected public opinion re-| garding the deceased. If it was shown | at the ecounty was well rid of him, the | circumstances of the shooting had littie weight and the man who had been handy | with his gun was discharged, sometimes | with a vote of thanks. I mind one case out there. though, which puzzied every | one and I didn't learn the explanation of it until I met Jake Haskins ten years later in New York. 1 don't want to say irat the courts out there weren't pure 2 good and everyihing required by They were up to the average. justice.

Hyde was a civil spoken chap ide from the fact that he was too | particular about his dress the boys ail wa.\?n;, and in token of it they called | Ma jor. There was a rumor around camp that jor Hyde had left Boston suddenly be- of angry husband, but no one r ectigate it Nearly every | an jn thai camp had a past and as a | general rule we let them stay behind. | Haskins drifted into town one day, | shabby looking, but with a gift of speech that showed his education. _Some of the boys tried to pump him. They found out that he had been ip every big camp in the | West, but he didn’t seem to have any spe. cial calling. We just put him down for a | tramper and helped him to live thinking | he wouid move along when he got ready. | Haskins saw Major Hyde the second week after he had arrived and the boys uldl that after that he looked settled Ilike. Iiyde did not see Haskins untl one day when he came into the store. 1 was there. 8o was “Black’ Johnson and two Others. Hyde hadn't no show. Haskins just 1 walked right up_to him and poked his gun | eve: . tell us what he had against Hyde | we would back him up. in his face. Hyde recognized him all| right enough, but he couldn't say a word. | He was facing sudden death and he knew it. It was all done so quick that we couldn’t interfere. * “This will square it,’ said Haskins, and | he pulled the trigger. Hyde never moved after he dropped and Haskins surren- dered peaceably enough. The Coroner’'s jury found against him and he was held for trial. Hyde had many friends and Haskins hadn't any. He didn’'t seem to have any money either, and when word | went around that he had secured a law- yer to draw up his will and defend him vbody around camp thought it was a good joke. We wanted to do- the fair Thing with Haskins and we asked him to | prom- | \noullng ising him that if it justified the s said Haskins, ‘and I have nothing to say. It won't do you any good to try to pump me. You might as| well leave me alone.” | “There didn’t seem much help for Has- kins after that and when we had told our stories to_the jury we didn't expect any defense. There was Haskins’ own lawyer from Denver and alongside of him was another lawyer who had come all the way from New York to help him. That gave Haskins good standing at once. It was rumored that he was the son of a wealthy man, but neither Haskins ner his New York lawyer would say anything about it. “Well, sir, that trial was a hummer. The defensé showed that Haskins had once had a sunstroke. They brought med- ical men from all over the country to swear that he was temporarily insane. No | such defense had ever been put up in that | country.. No motive was sbown for the | shooting and it couldn’t even be shown that Haskins had ever seen Hyde before | he struck camp. Some strangers with “‘Hyde’s - dead, money were very friendly with the jury-| 4 men, and when the verdict came in it ac- quitied Haskins on the ground that he was temporarily insane when he shot Hyde, That was a wonderful verdict for that country in those days—and Haskins found it convenient to disappear as soon as he was released. I ain’t saying any- thing about the jurymen, but they were all flush of the Jong green after that trial. Everybody wondered where Haskins got his money and it was the talk of the cam | } “I had most forgotten the case when T met Haskins two vears later in New York. He hadn't changed much. He was work- ng then as a bookkeeper, he told me, on a salary that barely lupsortefl him. “°T su , Jake,' eaid I,after shaking hande, ‘that you spent all your money on fl;]a(' defense. It must have cost you a plle. Some philanthropist, T suppose?” o." replied Jake; was a life insur- then he told me the ance company.” And story, all but the grudge he wiped out in T | ville himsel? took to 7 shooting the major. Haskins made up his mind two years before he came out Denver way that it was his duty to kill Hyde. He knew the consequences of it might be death and he had a small boy to look out for. Haskins said he was a widower and at that time he was earning 2 good salary. He couldn't jeave this boy unprovided for and he did not want to hang for shooting Hyde. What did he do? Why he went to a life insurance company and took out a $25000 policy so written that after it had been in force for a year noth- ing could break it except fallure to pay premiums. Haskins worked hard for the next vear and saved enough to pay two years’ premiums in advance. He had the policy made out for his boy and then he went West to kil Hyde. When they ar- rested him he had his lawyer write the facts of the case to the insurance com- pany and asked them if they would not rather help him in his deferse than pay the policy. They sent one of thelr own lawyers out there with money to back him. That was the way Jake Haskins was acquitted, and I've thought since that his abilities were wasted in bookkeeping. He ought to be a financier, but after wip- ing out Hyde he lost ambition.”—New York Sun. —_— A Nobleman Turns Gamester.

L Torrid Mix-Ups, Climaxed by a Bout Between Comanche Joe Gregg and Charley Hawley. g “Indian” Joe Gregg, the Comanche prizefighter, was the living, real sensation | last night at the reguiar monthly fistuc show of the Bay City Olub. His bout with Charley Hawley, fast and furlous, went one round more than tle original limit. The extra round did not suffice for a decision, Referee Lahey ending further prolongation by calling the mix-up a draw. The Indian is no wooden Indian. He fights like a demon and goes to his medi- cine like any white, sound-stomached prizefighter. Crouching or rushing, he ls | always on the move and Hawley found | out early in the game that he had to | fight hard. This coniest was a fitting close to what proved a very torrid even- ing. | ];rank Neil and John Scott began the pfngrunme and jn a hot exchange of | blows soon brought their mill to a quick | finish. Scott's career was ended by a sin- gle upper-story punch in he first round, Joe Allen and Jim Ielly tore over the canvas for four rounds, Allen getting the | decision. ~Kelly swallowed a full-course dinner of punishment and when the four rounds were over he still looked hungry. | Both fighters were exhausted from the | heavy work. | ,Johnny Ware and William Snailem went | four rounds of even fighting. Ware dis played a modicum of science which at the end gave him the contest. Joe Sullivan, smaller but tougher than | his opponent, Jim Carney, fought four rounds, the former getting the decision. During the fight he set loose a hundred or two of stiff left punches at Carney’s top plece and stomach. Peter Coleman lasted one round and a half against George Merritt. Then he went up in the air, rolled over once or twice and listened to | the referee tolling out the seconds. | W. Foster and William O’Brien, both | seconded by baseball plavers, created a sensation. In the second round Foster’s left came upward. O’Brien’s chin stopped the blow and over he went like a log. But he was up in a fiash and fought the | round out. At the end of the third the po- | lice thought that O'Brien had done enough suffering to work his way out of | purgatory, so the fight was called off and | the referee gave Foster the medal. Jack Sullivan and Jim Ryan started the hoots and hisses from the crowd. They went four rounds, Sullivan getting the de- cision, seemingly for no other reason than | that his face was forever falling against Ryan’'s left glove, ON EASTERN TRACKS.

THE POPE'S MAIL. Immense Number of Letters and Newspapers Received Daily. About 20,000 newspapers and letters ar- rive daily, all of which have to be sorted, opened and classified, and for this purpose a special staff is kept in the Apostolic Palace. The Pontiff is supposed to open and read all communications addressed “Sanctitati Suae Leoni Papae XIII, Fe- liciter Regnanti;” but as that would be impossible, even to a strong man, Car- dinal Rampolla, Secretary of State, has it done under his direction, submitting to the Pope the most important and press- ing communications. However, there are some documents, the opening of which by any other than the Pontiff is punished by excommunication. These are ad- dressed ‘“To His Holiness the Pope, Pre- fect of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition.” Also those which go through the hands of the diplomatists ac- credited to the Vatican are read by the head of the church. Of newspapers Leo XIIT each day glances through about seven or eight, Ttalian and French, also many translated extracts from English, German and even Russian ones, which have been specially repared for him. It has caused surprise n many quarters that XITI is so well informed about outside matters as he is, as, of course, it would bé supposed that when extracts are made from papers only what the reader desires comes before him. But the Pontiff is very shrewd, and reads the French and Itallan jour- nals £o0 thoroughly that he has a ‘very 0od idea whenever anything is kept from im, and insists—and has his way—on | having full reports. This was the case with tha war in South Africa. At first he was kepd in ignorance of what the English papers said, but he soon noticed it, made inquiries and after- ward followed the telegrams from dg& to day with intense interest.—London le- graph.

PRINCIPALS IN THE SHOOTING AFFRAY IN A SALOON AT BRANNAN AND SEVENTH STREETS, GROWING OUT OF A QUARREL OVER A S the result of a quarrel over a card game, Frederick Wollesen, a foreman of the Chemical, and Coal Fertilizing Company, lies at the Receiving Hospital suffering from a bullet wound from the | pistol of Special Officer Frederick L. Car- penter. | Wollesen and Carpenter were engaged in a game of poker in the saloon at Sev- enth and Brannan streets yesterday after. | noon. An argument over the method of | dealing occurred. Without warning Car- penter pulled his club out of his pocket | and threw it at Wollesen, who dodged ft. Wollesen, enraged at this attack, drew his jack-knife from his pocket and attacked Carpenter, who drew a pistol and warned ‘\\nllesen that if he persisted in his at- -+ tack he would shoot. Wollesen, notwith- standing this threat, persisted in his on- Bone | Slaught and received a bullet in the left side of his head. The shooting quickly attracted a crowd. The police were notified and Carpenter was placed under arrest. Wollesen' wound was dressed at the Receiving Hos- pital. Doctors Dorr and Starr, ‘were unable to locate the bullet. Carpenter will be detained to awalit the result of Wollesen’s {injurfes, which, though serious, may not prove fatal. Car- penter was formeriy cmployed as a grip- man on the Sutter-street cable road.

This {s not Wol- lesen’s first shooting escapade, as he car- ries the scars of a former imbroglio in his right leg. BERKELEY, Nov. 19.—The sale of tick- ets for the Thanksgiving day football game commenced this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock in the armory. A roll had been formed early.in the morning which men signed and they fell in line accordingly when the sale commenced. The men entered through the north door of the armory and the women through the south door. Only one from each door was let in at a time. After these had pur- chased tickets they were sent out through a third door and two more admitted. Those who belonged to the associate student body and had purchased season football tickets were given the choice of seats. Otherg were not allowed this privi- lege. Much objection was made to this arrangement, especially on the part of the members of the alumni, who felt that they were not receiving falr treatment. Many had purchased season football tick- | ets_merely to help out the management and they felt that this should have en- titled them to the same privileges as members of tho associated student body. At 4 o'clock this morning about fifteen wide awake young men gathered at North Hall and waited to sign the roll. For the greater part students did not sign until late in the morning. Each man was given a number which entitled him to a certain position in line. The same arrangement women were in line at 1 o'clock, but ow- ing to the wearisome slowness of the sale the lines rapidly thinned out. In the flrst hour and a half only twenty-flve men had secured tickets. An equal number of co-eds made purchases, but as there were | two sets of ticket sellers the rate was practically twenty-five to every hour and a half. At 6 o'clock the doors were closed. Only 150 people, both men and Women, had secured tickets. Out of this sale $1753 was taken In by the management. This made the average expenditura of each person umnethlng over $1l. Each person was only allowe to buy five tickets, but In many cases those who did not want the entire five tickets bought them for others. Practically all of the good seats in the covered section were sold and many of the choice ones in the uncovered section. was made by the co-eds, who were almost | equal to the men in numbers.

The varsity eleven went into secret practice to-day. They will riot appear in the open until next Monday. PRACTICING IN SECRET. Football Men Post Lookouts on the Fence. BERKELEY, Nov. 18.—The university eleven commenced secret practice on the gridiron this afternoon. All outsiders were excluded. Half a dozen trusty student ‘“marshals’” were seated on top of the high board fence which surrounds the field and kept all passers-by away from knotholes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The sixteenth annual exhibition of the National Horse Show Association began to-day in Madi- san-square Garden, and there were many groups of fashfonably dressed men and Women there to greet the occasion. Never was a horse show opened under more au- spicious circumstances, never one that promised so great a crush during the week as this. The animals that will be shown are the finest in the country and the peo- ple who will flock to the garden during the week will represent soclety not only of New York, but of many other cities in the East. The beginning of the show this morn- ing was without great pomp. It consisted merely In raising an orange flag with a black horse in the center, the official device of the association, on the main flagstaff of the garden, and the sound- ing of a trumpet within announcing to exhibitors that within forty minutes they might exercise their horses in the ring. Before the echoes of the trumpet blast had dled away the ring was alive with hunters and jumpers scheduled to be judged later on. Gorgeous in its many trappings of yellow and black, the time-honored colors of the association, and its myriad lights, the garden was a delight to the eye. As the day grew on the crowds in- creased untll they promised to break all first-day attendance records. Everywhere prilliant costumes were conspicuous. Among the occupants of the arena boxes to-day were Mrs. Clarence Mackay, Mrs. J. Lee Tailer, Mrs. Joseph Widener, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Miss Gerry, Mrs. James P.

A few days ago an alarming accident occurred In the Strand, London. By some means the underground electric circuits were fired, with the result that the lid over a manhole in the footpath was blowa high into the air. Large sheets of flame then shot into the air for a height of about ten or twelve feet, attended at fre- uent intervals with sharp explosions. he alarm was immediately given to the fire brigade, who were quickly on the spot, but it ‘'was instantly recognized that their efforts were of no avail in the quell- ing of the conflnsrauon. They conge- quently had to stand by and simply watch the results of the erratic behavior of the electric current. In a few minutes, how- ever, an electrician was on the scene and he quickly sub{ugn!ed the outbreak by severing the wires. Such accidents as this are of frequent occurrence through- out the metropolis, but at this precise D:c;t t‘r;.e "1"23"{’% wires i3 great, which e the incident far more ses is generally the case. - —_————— It Was a Notable Wedding.
