line Of the /. G. Il. r.. between Bolivar and
Toone, was on his way home from Toone
and walking ON the railroad track, when he
met freight train bound north. Young
was carrying a sack Of -four on his shoulder
and noticed the train, and SAYS that he in
tended to get of the track in time, but care
lessly Jet the engine approach too near to
him before stepping OF, When he attempt-
ed to get ont Of the. way, his foot caught and
he fell fiat on his back on the track. The
pilot Of the engine caught his body and
rhoyed it over 800 yards on the tack be-
fore the train could be stopped. DR.. J. ],

THE GALLONS.

THE GALLONS.
The gallows from which Clark
dropped into eternity was erected in
the old shed opposite the Jail, and
closely walled as required by law 1t
was a substantially constructed ar
rangment, consisting Of cross pieces
from two up-rignts, one piece above
the other, and to the lower one Of
which q door was fastened by strap.
hinges. and over the upper one the
rope passed. The door extended out
even with the piece of timber to
which it hinged, and was approached
by a Ladder from the rear, to q plat
firm, and the prisoner when
on the scafold faced the south.
The trap was sprung by knocking
out the support that held up tic
door. The IA! was about 6 feet.
HISTORY OF TIE CRIME AND TRIAL.
Joe CLARK was indicted and tried
at the July term Of Circuit Court,
1884, at Bolivar, for the murder Of
Peter Wooten, colored, near Sau,s-
bury. in this county, in the spring Of
1854, and was convicted Of murder
IN the first degree and sentenced to
death, and the day Of execution set
for September Goth, 1891. Motion
for ueE trial was made by counsel
for defense, which was oyey-Tuled,
and the case was appealed, and was
heard by the Supreme Court, April
term, at Jackson, and sentence Of
the lower court confined, and the
day OF execution set for today, FRI
day, 9Th day Of June, 1885.
The evidence in the case showed
/ the murder to have been committed
in cold blood and without provocation.
Clark had been intimate with the
wife Of Wooten, and on the night Of
/ the murder went 10 his house armed
with an old musket. lie found
Wooten cut at his corn-crib, and as
he passed from the crib to the house
Clark fired upon him, but the shot
did not prove effectual, and Wooten
ran toward his cabin door holly

JOE CLARK ExECUE TED.
The Execution Witnessed hy the Sum-
Ter Prescribed By Law

The Prisoner Incidents OF the Day-Tbe
GaiIass.
Joe Clark, the negro murderer was
hung by the sheriff of this county
to-day at FIVE minutes to two o'clock.
He was unmovod and faced deat6
with courage. lie spent qaiet
night and took hearty breakfast
and dinner lie was visited by sew
eral parties during he morning, be-
sides ministers of his own color
On several occas .ons he had acknowl-
eel the crime for which he was 70 be
hung, and spoke Of it freely this
morning. 1t had been suspected ali
along that Clark was not alone when he
mm dered Wooten, but to inquiries
concerning his abet.ors, if he had
any, he turned a deaf ear To those
who preached the subject to him. lie
claimed that lie would speak when
the spirit moved him, and all ex-
pected the spirit to move him little
later in the day.
A twenty five minutes to two
O'Clock Sheriff Yopp accompanied by
his guards, lei The prisoner 10 the
front gallery of the Jail, where a
considerable crowd had gathered
through curiosity, to hear him make
his talk. Clark was given time and
told that he was ut liberty to say any
thing that he wished. lie oc -upied
only a few minutes in rambling
speech which it is not possible to give
here. The tenor of his remarks was
that his fate was an example to all.
After his talk he told Mr. Yopp that
he was ready and the party proceeded
across the street to where the gallows
was erected in an enclosure. Al the
gallows the prisoner was FIRM and
when or.lered by the sheriff he as
cended the ladder with a firm step
and stood as ordered. On the scat
fold he repeated what he had said
On the gallery. Clark stood perfect~
ly still while his feet and hands were
being plnioned, and while the moose
was being adjusted, The only lndi
cation that he showed Of weakening
was when the sheriff placed the capover |
his face, then a distinct tremor passed I
through his frame, and he seemed to /
realize that the light Of day was being
forever shut out.
Religious services were conducted I
by Rev Williams, colored, who feel /
.ngly petitioncd for the prisoner. The /
sheriff then read the sentence 10 the /
prisoner, and at five minutes to two /
o'clock the trap was sprung, the fall /
breaking his neck. lie was suspend
ed sixteen minGtes when life was pro-
nounced extinct by DR.. Jack Nicely, /
and he was cut down, placed in a
coffin and turned over to parties I
claiming his body.
Joe Clark was a tall black negro,
about 80 years old, and sharp fea-
tured. His bump Of intelligence was
not very great. The crime for which
he was executed was one Of the most |
attrocious ever committed in the
county.

AMONG the associate press dispatches
that appeared in the daily papers last
Sunday morning, was long one from
New York purporting to report an in
terview with Roscoe Conkling, in
which the latter poured forth perfect
torrent of abuse of the republican par
ty and of individual republicans, par
ticularly Blaine and Davenport. We
thought at the time of reading the dis
patch, that it was bogus from begin
ming to end, and sure enough in Mon
days papers appeared a card from Mr..
Conkling, denouncing the whole thing
as "preposterous and wicked fabrica-
ton" 1t occurs to us that it would be
q christian act to blacklist the "smar-
ty" who wrote the "intervlew."

THE Moran Herald intimateS that
the reason THE REGISTER supports
John Brown is because it is ''Owned
body and soul by the republican par
ty." AS nobody but Scott & Rohrer
has a dollars interest in THE REGIS
TER, our cotemporary must mean that
they are the republican party-a COM
pliment they highly appreciate. We
wonder, by-the-way, whether the stock
Mr.. Dawson holds in the Herald has
anything to do with the latter's sup
port of him?
