fusal one of them shot him dead, and
another put bullet through the arm Of a
clerk who had similarly declined to oblige
them. The people gathered, killed two
of the men on the spot, and organized a
pursuit of the others, which never ceased
until the results above recorded had been
brought about. This is the prejudiced &C
count Of portion of the press. Fortunate
ly, the Minneapolis Tribune Of September
25 enables us to supplement this unap-
preciative narrative by statement from
the lips of one of the victims, which
places the matter in its proper light:
1--WE came to Minnesota" says Robert
Younger, 'simply for pleasure. but learned
that ex Governor Ames, of Mississippi, had
money in the Mortified Bank; one of the
boys had q spite against him, and go the
robbery was planned, and to pay expenses"
Surely this abundant justification of
the little exploit of the James and
Younger boys must have escaped the
notice Of our contemporaries. Otherwise
we should have heard Of theatrical enter
tainments to be given on their behalf and
members OF the bar volun-
tering for their defense. Or at least
there would have been letter to
Attorney General Taft. The prosecuted
patriots Of Mortified simply went for
Governor Ames' private bank account in
The same way as the Mississippi White
Liners went for his official perquisites.
The leading motive was the same in both
,ases-a hankering after the spoils-the

And hc lived In bog
On the banks Of Lake okc6nokee:
And tho words Of the 1ong

Said the frog, ~ have found
That my life's dally round
In this placc is exceedingly poky;

And he said, .'Ali ny lifo

That he shall not to-day
Go away from Lake okefuokec."

Without anylng word,

And loudly le sung,
Till tho whole forest rang,
''oh. croakctJ. ctoakcty, cfonky."

A FARMERS G GUILOTLNE AND HOW
1T WORKED.

James Moore, aged about thirty five,
living on farm near the Farmers Insti-
tute, about fifteen miles south of this CITY,
committed suicide at the Lake House,
Lafayette, Ind, last night. No cause is
known for the deed. The manner in
which it was accomplished is perhaps
unparalleled in horrid ingenuity. He
came to the Lake House Saturday, said
he was perfecting an Invention and prob
ably stay a week, but would visit his
home on Monday, and prepaid his bill
until that time. He called at the ma
chine shop of Harding & Sons, had a large
new broad axe and two bars of six inch
wide and one inch thick iron, IS inches
long, which he had riveted to the head
of the axe. On either side, fastened to.
these bars in the shape of a handle to an
axe, he had system of wooden bars
eight feet long, the extreme end ofWhich
was fastened to cross piece secured to
