WIDOW PAYS FOR BURIAL OF THE BODY
Only s Few Women Attend tbe Serr
iocs, In Addition to Priest and
Bearers No Prosecution

CASPER, Wyo., March 29. (Special Tel
egram The funeral of Charles Wood
ward, who was lynched yesterday, took place
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Brief services
were held at the Catholic church. Rev.
Father Bryant, spiritual advisor of the dead
man, officiated. Not more than a dozen
persons were in attendance outside of the
priest and pallbearers, and almost all of
them were women, who went to the funeral
to comfort Mrs. Woodward, who arrived
from Thermopolla ten hours before her bus
band waa banged. The- body was burled In
the Casper cemetery, the funeral expenses
being paid by the widow.
Tbe coroner's Jury today brought In a
verdict that Woodward came to his death
by being hanged on the gallows adjacent
to the county Jail by persons unknown to
the Jurors.
Sheriff Tubbs and the prisoners In the
county Jail and two newspaper men were
the only witnesses examined. The sheriff
and prisoners testified that the lynchers
were masked, and that no one could be
identified. The newspaper men said they
arrived inside the stockada Just as the
lynchers were walking up the steps of the
gallows, and they were warned not to
interfere at the peril of their lives. They
were allowed to take a station in the
stockade, but were not allowed to leave
until all of the masked men had gone out.
Tbe reporters were unable to recognize any
of the lynchers.
Tbe sentiment of the community is that
the remaining thieves will take warning
and leave the country. No attempt Is
being made to find out who were In tbe
vigilance committee and no trouble Is an
tlctpated.

FIFTEENTH STREETS
CLOUD OVER IRRIGATION BILL
President Firmly Opposes Feature Kelating
to State Control.
THIS PROVISION IS HELD TO BE VITAL
Iown Delegation Delayed In Its Con
ference negarding Federal Ap
Polntments Dr. Garrlgan Re
ported h Bishop.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 29. (Special Tel
egram.) The outlook for an irrigation
measure at this session is not bright.
President Roosevelt la determined in his
opposition to the provision relating to tbe
state control of the appropriation, distribu
tion and use of water from the irrigation
canals, and, it is said, he will veto the
bill should It reach hlra with this provi
sion Incorporated. Unless this provision is
retained in the bill a majority of tbe advo
cates of irrigation say they will oppose the
legislation, claiming the provision is an
important one and tbe law would be in
operative should the bill pass without It.
Strange to say, the most active opposition
to irrigation comes from representatives
residing in the Mississippi valley. Tbe
Iowa delegation failed to get together to
day on account of the unexpected absence
of Senator Dolllver. The members met,
pursuant to the call issued by Senator Al
lison, at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in the
private apartments of Speaker Henderson
for the purpose of deciding upon federal
appointments, but owing to the absence of
the Junior senator It was decided to let
the matter go over until a later date.
Thomas Alone Escapes.
As a matter of fact tbe members of the
delegation, with the single exception of
Lot Thomas of the Sioux City district, are
not over anxious to have any changes
made in the present appointees until after
the congressional conventions. Mr. Thomas,
however, wants action immediately, as he
believes his renomlnatlon la dependent
upon early action.
It is rumored tonight that Rev. Dr. Philip
J. Garrlgan, vice rector of the Catholic
University of America of this city, baa
been appointed bishop of the see of Sioux
City. The report of the appointment, how
ever, could not be confirmed, although It
is known that Dr. Garrlgsa's name was
one of the three submitted to Rome for
consideration in this connection. Dr. Gar
rlgan baa been assistant treasurer of tbe
university since 188S and previous to bis
entering priesthood was educated in the
public schools of Massachusetts.
