that no safeguards can be devised

teller from stealing, if he chooses to
do it, He is convinced Of this by.

steady thief for ten years, and. was
only found out when the aggregate
of his robberies reached about $780,

deposits properly 10 the depositor's
books, make out the ticket by which
the bank ought to have checked bis
cash, and then put both ticket and
money in his pocket. Thus the on
ly evidence that the money had
been paid in was the depositor's
book. When the depositors account
began to run low, Owen would cor-
rect it by depicting some other one.

A FIEND'S FATE.

A special from Las VegaD, N. M.
says Saturday night, as a man
named R. H. Hutter, was walking
with his wife. an Indian desperate,
named Francisco Tojoka, better
known as Navajo Prank, threw a
lariat around Hutter's neck, put
spurs to his horse and rode off at
rapid rate, dragging the man over
the rock street for one hundred
yards or more. The shock came so
suddenly that Hutter had not time to
take in the situation, the lsrist be-
ing so tight around bis neck that his
face became black. About one hun
dred yards from the spot where he
was lassoed, bystander pulled
revolver and shot at the Indian, who
then drew a knife and cut the lsriat
near the saddle. Hutter was left
lying in the street. He was terri.
bly, bruised and maDgled, his long
beard being entirely pulled out -
He was taken home and will prob
ably recover. The fendish Indian
made his escape, but 10 very short
time a mounted posse of men csptur
ed him, brought him to the city and
placed him 10 Jail. Yesterday be
tween II and l o'clock, a crowd of
citizens assembled at the Jail and de
manded the release of the prisoner
but were refused. They then en-
tered the Jail by force. The cell
keys were handed over, and Navajo
Frank was taken out, and after a
desperate resistance, a rope was put
around bis neck. He was marched
to a telegraph pole, where the moose
was frightened, and he was hoisted
up and left hanging in the air.

You are correct. We read the

Clements is worthy the place he sc
efficiently fills, and is looking dill
gently after the interests of his peo

Mr.. F. N. Wilder, of Monroe
county, Ga, in robbing bis bee gums
found that 1900 pounds of honey
had turned to sugar. Forty pounds
from one hive was all honey, which
makes him think that the crystaliza-
tion is due to the peculiar flowers
from which the bees gathered the
honey. If those bees had gathered
their "sweets" 10 this community,
we would have known at once that
they had been slipping the lips of

GUITEAU GONE.

Charles j. Guitesu, the assassin
of President Garfield, was hanged in
Washington City last Friday, in the
Jail, Witnessed by about $50 people.
Rev. DIR. Hicks was Guiteau's spir-
itusl adviser. Guitesu was
pinioned and placed on the
scaffold. He then read 10 a loud
tone "his dying prayer on the gall
lows" the following being copy
"Father now I go to Thee and the
Savior. l have flushed the work
thou gavest me to do, and ] am only
too happy to go to Thee. The
world does not yet appreciate my
mission, but Thou knowest it
Thou knowess Thou didst inspire
Garfeld's removal, and only good
has come from it. This is the best
evidence that the inspiration came
from Thee, and / have set forth in
my book that all men may read and
know that thou Father didst inspire
the act for which | am now murder

eternal enmity as did the jews by
killing Thy Man, my Savior. The
retribution in that case came quick
aud sharp, and know Thy divine
law of retribution will striketthis ma
ton and my murderers in the same
way. The diabolical spirit of this
Nation, it's Government and its
newspapers toward me will justify
Thee in cursing them, ard know
that Thy divine law Of retribution is
memorable. therefore predict that
this Nation will go down in blood,
and that my murderers, from the
Executive to the haugman, will go
to hell. Thy laws are memorable.

awaits them. The American press
has big bill to settle with Thee,

iveness 10 the matter. Nothing but
blood will satisfy them, and now my
blood be on them and this Nation,
and its officials. Arthur, the Presi,

him, and saved his party and land
from overthrow, has no parallel in

He then read a nonsensical poem
on Simplicity, of his own compost

broke down several times and wept
bitterly. After a Gnsl bendiction
by DR.. Hicks, the attendants placed
the moose around Guiteaus neck.
Mr.. Strong then placed the black
cap over biz head, and as he did so
Guiteau called out 10 a loud tone
"Glory, Glory, Glory" Instantly
the spring was touched and Guiteau
was launched into eternity. After
he had hung 80 minutes bis body
was lowered into the coffin. A num-
bsr of physicians performed an au'
topsy on the dead body. The brain
was found to weigh 4orty>nine and a
half ounces. The neck was not dis
located, and it follows therefore that
he died from suffocation. On Sat
