Owners of Property In Oceanview Cem

for Deeds of Property.
Once again the negligence of the gen

several days past a notice has appear

city regarding owners of property In
Oceanview cemetery to call at the office
of the city auditor and secure deeds. 1 11

Cheyenne, Feb, T. An innocent ap
pearing bill introduced in the Wyoming
legislature on January 31 is now credit
ed with having for Us purpose the sav
ins of the life of Tom Horn, convicted
of the murder of Willie Nlckell and
! who Is now under sentence of death.
, The bill abolished capital punishment
and becomes operative against all sen
tences of death already pronounced and
not executed at the passage of the act.
The bill changes the punishment for
crimes now punishable by death to life
Imprisonment but seems to apply only
to crimes to be committed in the future.
Is claimed by some that should It
be released from '
proceedings
interested financially and sentimentally . but th llf Imprisonment clause Is not
The "don't care" feeling prevails to an
stent that makes property owners in
different to their own interests.
But perhaps the general public, does
not quite understand. Yesterday an
Ast'orian representative called on Audi
tor. Anderson and quizzed him about
the matter. The auditor explained
that the muddle for it is another mud
dle came about through the lax man
ner in which business has been conduc
ted of late years. He said that some
3C) or 409 bodies had been buried in
Oceanvtew, which to the property of
the city, but that few of the persons
purchasing lots had received deeds to!
the property. They paid their money,
took a receipt for and were provided
with a borlal permit. Legal evidence
of their title to the property does not
exist in the form of deeds, and to get
the -matter straightened out the audi
tor caused the notice to be published.
There has been no response and the
officials are beginning to wonder if
the people who own lots In Oceanview
have entirely forgotten about it. The
city records have not been properly
kept, with the result that there Is no
thing to show the names of the deceas
ed persons whose bodies repose on the
west side, or, indeed, the numbers of
the lots which have been sold to vari
ous parties. If the auditor can suc
ceed in arousing enough interest, he
will try and learn the names of the
persons burled at Oceanview, the
names of the persons who have pur
chased lots and the exact discretions
of the property. Developments thus
Tar would tend to indicate that he will
not be successful In his effort to awak
en property owners to the fact that
their 'nteresta are vitally at stake.
It -should be recollected by owners of
lots that the permits held by them are
not sufficient to fully establish their
title to the properly should complica
tions arise. If the auditor can straigh
ten out the matter he will Issue deeds,
and property owners will not then have
cause for fear that perhaps their lots
may pass into other hands at some fu
ture date because of the muddle now
existing. A brief visit to the city hall
will abvlate the possibility of the sale
of an occupied lot to some other per
son, which, It wUl doubtless be agreed,
wmiiri he a most deplorable state of
affairs.
retroactive, as is the clause abolishing
capital punishment and there would be
uo law under which Horn could be
held.
The bill is In the hands of the judic
iary committee, the chairman of which
was one of Horn's attorneys at the
time of the trial.

three Irish laborers who were digging

show these Eyetallans how to carry a
piece of pipe they don't even know
how to do that much."

the water he failed to grasp bold of the
boat, and sank out of sight for th
