 free thinker and asked that philos- opher instead of a priest might be sent to console him, but he afterward
 partook of the sacrament and prayed
 throughout the night. Karl Schenck
 brother of Hugo, who was also impll-
 cated to a certain extent with Hugo
 and Schlossuck in the murder league,
 has been incarcerated for life.
 Schlossuck was hanged first. Ills
 countenance was pale, he trembled
 visibly and he. was scarcely able to
 stand, presenting piteous appear
 ance. He cursed Schenck, ana just
 before the rope was placed around
 his neck he became uneonscious. The
 death struggle lasted eight minutes.
 Schenck's execution followed. He
 walked to the scafold with an elastic
 step and his facs wore a smile. He
 kissed the priest and sent hls love to
 hls wife. He died in less than three
 minutes. His corpse looks like that
 of man Tn peaceful sleep. Schlos-
 sucks features are horribly distorted.

 day, and teams were going there all
 night. while hundreds of men and women were to be seen hnrrying to , the fields from all directions. There wore two general stores and about 500 people on the ground last night. Claim jumping began yesterday, but it will cease to-day or end in blood , shed.
