Cobb, the hapless boy. the slayer OF Sheriff
Shenneman, was taken from Wichita to
Winfield where black cow.ed mob, in the
dead hours Of night, b auled him from his
uneasy bed and hung him to the timbers OF
q railroad bridge. As Sheriff Shenneman,
before his death, polntedly requested that
Cobb should be protected against mob vio-
lence, we cannot understand why he wasn't
kept here in the Wichita Jail until the con-
vening OF the court. He begged for chance
for his life, but the answer was drop OF
ten feet which was broken by the rope that
was tied about his neck. 1t was cheer from
the mob below and a leap from leafless
tree. During the few hours which elapsed
between his arrival at the Winfield Jail and
his execution, he cent for Mrs. Shenneman,
with whom he had a long talk. What he
told her has not been made public further
than he acknowledged his identity. Cobb,
it seems. had committed misdemcanor of
OF some sort in Jefferson county some weeks
since. The constable who attempted to ar
rest him accidcntily shot and wounded
Cobb's little brother, when Cobb shot to the
death the constable. lie fed, and for this
he was being arrested when he mortaliy
wounded Sheriff Shenneman. So after all
the boy may have been more the victim OF
unhappy circumstances than desperate.
But however that may be, be has paid the
most fearful penalty possible death at the
hands OF a disguised mob, who committed
the same crime in killing him, that he CON-
mitted in killing the jefferson county con-
stable-a matter OF revenge. The widows
and friends of the two murdered men, rs
also the parents Of the unfortunate boy, all
have opr sympathies.

1t is with no small degree Of alarm that We
hear that the school girls OF the higher grades
have adopted the EAGLE as their standard
pannier. While we must concede that the
EAGLE spreads very nicely, indeed, and al
ways holds its own, its tendency to fiy up
must not be overlooked. The teachers OF
the primary grades will find the encourage
mcnt of Its use among the smaller buds OF
womanhood convenient and handy. but the
use of the EAGLE should be rigidly discour-
aged amorg the older nedglings. The reso-
luton to abandon for once and forever the
Christian Observer by the teachers themselves
was timely, but Il viii in no wise help mat.
tiers to substitute the EAGLE.
