A MINNESOTA HANGING.
John Lee Pays the Death Penalty for Muir
der Committed During Drunk
en- CarOusal

ALEXANDRIA, MINI, Feb. 15.-John
Lee was hanged here at 10 O'Clock this
morning for the murder of Charles
Cheline, at Brandon, Mimi, on the
night of July 10, 1888.
Executive clemency saved Martin Moe,
who was to be hanged with him from a
similar fate. Martin Moe was sort of
Fighting Charlie, - always eager for a
quarrel. John Lee had a long standing
feud with Charlie Cheline over the girl
Lee was in love with. On Saturday
night, Moe and Lee came to town and
began drinking, and for the next two
days kept up their carousa1. Tues
day morning Lee met Cheline and
they had an alteration that forenoon.
Lee and Moe purchased pistols, saying
they intended to hunt gophers. During
the afternoon and evening they were
staggering around town declaring that
some one was going to die that night.
About IL O'Clock Cheline was walking
down the lower end of Main street of the
little town. A short distance away was
Lee and Moe. Suddenly Moe exclaimed,
"'There's your man, give it to him, -
and without word of warning Lee
stepped up to CheIine and shot him
through the head. He was arrested that
night, but Moe was not found until the
next morning. A few days ago Lee made
a confession exonOrating Moe from actual
participation in the murder.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Feb. 15.-The
Journals Alexandria, Mimi. special
says John Lee, the murderer expiated
his crime upon the scaffold this morning.
The drop fell at 1908 o'clock:
John Lee and Martin Moe, murderers
of Charles Cheline, expected to be hung
together, but the governor decreed other
wise. AT the last moment Martin Moe
was told that his sentence had been COM
muted to Imprisonment for life, and that
John Lee must die alone. Lee said moth
ing, but he seemed pleased that his ac-
complete had escaped the gallows.
The men passed the early part of the
night quietly in prayer and singing.
Rev. A. S. Scott passed the night with
them IN the cell room. AT u 40 Lee re-
tired for the night, and at o'clock he
was fast asleep. Moe was restless, and
1t was after 'clock before he finally
dropped off into fitful slumber, signing
and turning in his bunk. By % CLOCK both
men were awake. 1t was nearly o 'clock
when they finally rose and dressed them
selves and took breakfast. While they
were eating breakfast Elder Scott read a
portion Of Scripture to them. Lee never
faltered as the hour for expiration ap-
preached. He made no speech on the
gallows. In four minutes after the drop
fell Lee was dead, but it was nearly
twenty minutes before the body was cut
down.

Correspondence of the Gazette.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
RoCKDALE, TEX, Feb. 14.-One
of the saddest events which has
ever transpired to cast a gloom over
Rockdale occurred late this afternoon in
the death of Miss Emma G. Perry, only
daughter of A. p. Perry.
The wagon roads in this section are be-
coming more capable of being travelled, ,
but the creek and river bottoms are still
in n terrible condition. Much anxiety is
felt as to the natural influences on health
this unprecedentedly warm, damp winter
may bring about, there being at this
time somewhat more than the average
amount of sickness.
Cotton still continues to come in at the
rate of from ten to twenty bales per day
The average financial condition of
farmers living in the territory tributary
TO Rockdale is unqueStionably much more
satisfactory than at any time in the past
and while it seems to be conceded fact
that the efforts made last year by the
farmers to dispense with the aid of home
merchants and rely upon the Dallas
alliance exchange for necessary supplies
resulted in a most melancholy failure so
far as the vast body of farmers was con-
cerned, it may be truthfulIy stated that
owing both to the lessons of economy in
culcated by the alliance and the fact that
many in mortgaging their all to the ex-
change for supplies which were not sup
piled, thereby depriving themselves of
credit else where, the improved condition
is due.

MENARDVILLE.

An Immense Amount of Cotton to be Raised
During the Coming Season.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MENARDvILLE, TEX, Feb. 12.-We
were visited yesterday by another big
rain. 1t has rained entirely too much
lately. Farmers ate busy planting small
grain and preparing their ground for
coming crops.
An enthusiastic meeting was held last
week to try to get cotton boom. There
will be about 200 acres of cotton planted =,
provided a gin goes up, and it is univers-
ally believed that the land on irrigation
ditch will produce in the neighborhood of
one and half bales to the acre.
Commissioners court is in session this
week. Our citizens are very indignant
over the bill in the legislature to transfer
all misdemeanOr cases from county to
district courts, and have petitioned the
legislature to have Menard county ex-
empted from the same.
A county immigration convention is
called for the 10th, in order to advertise
our county.

Fires Near Helena.

( HELENA, Aug. 28.-Heavy fires are
raging in the vicinity on Ten Mile and
are sweeping in the direction Of Helena
through Colorado gulch, which is heavily
timbered. 1t is feared the fires will be
within short distance of Chinatown
some time today. Two wood camps, saw
mills and large quantity of lumber were
burned yesterday within IL miles of the
city. The men had narrow escape from
death.
One camp was completely surrounded
by fire before men were aware Of thei1
danger. They ran through the fire for
their lives and escaped with their hair
and clothing burned.
One man had londed shotgun In his
hand and the heat was so intense that
both barrels we're discharged, but he held
onto the gun and succeeded in reaching
place Of safety.
1t is thought that several men were
lost in one camp, but this cannot be yeri-
fed. - =. --.- "
