FOUR MEN HANGED TOGETHER.
Train Robbers Paying the Penalty of Their
Crimes.

The four train robbers and murderers,
Cove Johnson, James johnson, James Hern-
don and Munroe Mcdonald, were executed
at GAINESVILLE, Ark. They all said that they
we're ready to die, and confessed their crime.
Mcdonald also confessed to killing another
man. An immense crowd was in town and
a company of State guards on duty preserved
order.
On the night of March IL last, the west
bound train on the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad was boarded by band of
four robbers at a station known as
Mulbern. They at once began yelling like In
dians, and, swinging their revolvers over the
heads of the passengers, ordered them to-
hold up their hands. In the midst of the
panic caused by Their presence, Conductor
Cain, who had charge of the train, came
into the the passenger car, and, as he ap-
preached, Herndon shot him and he fell.
Milton Lester. brakeman, then ran to n is
assistance, when Mcdonald shot him.
johnson then rushed up to prevent
Mcdonald from firing again, and the
latter, in the excitement, fired at johnson,
but missed him. johnson at once returned
the fire, shooting Mcdonald in the face and
inficting a severe wound, which crippled
him SO that he could not escape with the
others. Conductor Cain died almost i'm
mediately when shot. The killing of the
conductor, the wounding of the brakeman
and the gripping of one of their own num-
Der so demoralized the desperadoes that they
abandoned their original purpose of
robbing the passengers and hastily
retreated, the two Johnsons going
in one direction and Herndon in another,
leaving Mcdonald in farmhouse near the
station, where he was subsequently captured.
Lester and Mcdonald recovered. Cove
johnson was the chief in planning the rob-
berry, but Herndon was chosen as leader in
the attempt. Cove johnson, in his confess
sion, said: eve organized in the house of
Mrs. Herndon, the mother of Herndon,
but our plan was not completed then,
it simply being arranged that Little
Rock and Fort Smith train was to
be captured and robbed 1t was not our
intention to kill any one except in self-de-
Tense and to avoid bloodshed. We expected
to capture the conductor, go through the pas
sengers and rob the express carr
but the firing on the conductor by
Hendon destroyed our plan and we could
d. nothing but esoape." The three escaped
to the mountains, but were soon after
captured, and with Mcdonald, tried, con-
victed and sentenced After that they were
sent to the penitentiary at Little Rock for
safe keeping until the execution,

KILLED BY THUNDER-BOLTS.
Two Men Stricken Down in Louisiana and
Three In Missouri.

Three In Missouri.
At Bay st. Louis, suburb of New Orleans,
during a heavy thunderstorm, two cattle
dealers named Odum and Borden were struck
by the same bolt of lightning and in
stantly killed. The two men were stand
ing under pine sapling near the rail-
road station engaged in hot quarrel.
Borden held long butchers knife in his
hand, ready to plunge it into the heart of his
opponent when the fatal bolt fell and ended
the quarrel so far as this world Is concerned
at least. The crown of Borden's hat was
burned, his whiskers scorched, and there
were two little black spots to be
seen on his right shoulder. 9th
erwise his body looked perfectly
natural; but Odum's was as black as a
negro's, and his head was swollen as big as
a water bucket. The soles of Odum's shoes
were burned of, and some pieces of gold
and silver in his pocket were melted to-
gether. Borden was a resident of the place,
and Odum was one of the biggest stock
raisers in the county. A colored man, a ssr-
want of Odum, was standing about forty
feet from the men when the lightning struck
them. He received severe shock, and had
the soles of his shoes torn of. 81
While public sale was in progress at the
residence OF II. S. Light near Ravanna, Mo-,
a heavy thunderstorm came up, and about
thirty men took refuge in a large barn. The
building was struck by lightning and John
Bowen, James Berry and George Wyatt,
three respected citizens, were killed and two
or three others were injured.

While there does not seem to be the
same degree OF propriety in the Mime
apolis display, city upon the line, that
there was in that of st. Paul, the eastern
terminus of this greatest OF modern COM
mercial thoroughfares, yet it was a very
grand and imposing industrial exhibit, and
albeit that it was called out by an Insane
jealousy of its sister city, did great credit
to its enterprisidg people. That the entire
Willard party were surprised and over
Whelmed ct the oyations showered on them
at every hand is not at all to be wondered
at. When they originally determined
to have celebration at st. Paul, its
eastern terminus, upon the completion of
the Northern Pacific, as we'll as at the
union of the two ends which occurs to
day, out in Montana, and consented to be
guests of the mayor and common council
of our state capital, probably not one in
the entire party dreamed of its nuniicent
hospitality or of the grand scale upon
which the celebration planned would be
carried out. Never in the history of Amer
lea was city so gorgeously decorated,
nor never did city entertain her guests
with the regal, princely fashion which St.
Paul displayed on Monday. Go whereyou
would on the line of circuitous and lengthy
parade, or upon the side streets
and it was one continuous fntter of flags
and streamers, bright remnants, gay bunt-
ing, gorgeous arches, and floral and ever
green decorations. Amidst all those
splendid adornments st. Paul received her
illustrious guests, amid the booming of
cannon and the crash of martial bands.
She escorted them in the carriages of her
most wealthy and distinguished citizens,
preceded by the national and state troops,
to reception headquarters, and nothing
which could be thought of to
conspire toward the comfort
and happiness of her guests, or
that could in any way manifest the high
est esteem and respect felt for them, was
allowed to pass untorgotten. Well may
each citizen of this state feel proud of
their state capital and the Nay her citizens
receive and entertain illustrious visitors.
The splendid, manufacturing, mercantile
| and other features of trade, although out
done in point of numbers by the afternoon
| display at Minneapolis, will long be re-
membered by all who witnessed it, espe-
cially so by the party who were the guests
| of the occasion. All hail to st. Paul and
the regal way she entertains.
