The people Of Kansas are acquiring finish
in some directions which many older commu-

been incidents Of not 20 very uncommon 90
currence in various parts of the country, but
it has been left to the people of Baxter
Springs, Kansas to wind up one of these in
cidents with an act OF real thoughtful polite
ness in the passage OfFesolutiOns thanking "A,
B, O, d, and others" for "so bravely and at
their own peril accomplishing that which We
all desired should DO done, in other words,
for taking negro out Of jail and hanging
him. An oppression OF regret" was also e1-

done, with request TO these good people 70
