BALD KNoBBERIsM DEFUNcr


OzARK, May 10.
The drop fell in the prison here today at
. 30 and with it the three bold knobhers
who had been sentenced to hanging. The
three men fell to the ground struggling in the
horribly bunged butchery.
The men were carried to the scafr1ld
again at 1910; Bill Walker struggling,
groaning and almost insensible. Dave
Walker died in 10 minutes, John Matthe VS.
in 10 minutes and Bill Walker in II minutes
Dave Walker, president of the Bald Knob
bers, his son William aud John Matthews
were hanged today for the murder of Chas
Green and William Eiens in March, 1887
The order of masked regulators was insii-
tuted in fancy county in 1885, and the deeds
of lawlessness and crimes committed by the
regulators were such as to terrorize the
whole community. An old man named
Edens had denounced the Bald knobbers,
and in revenge they attacked his house,
shooting promiscuously without regard to
sex or age.
William Elens and Charles Green were
killed. Four of the Bald Knobbers were
finally arrested, but two escaped Jail. the
other two, Dave and Bill Walker. refusing
to leave jail. John and Wyley Matthews
were the ones who escaped, but the former
gave himself up The other was not cap
tured. The condemned men firmly believed
up to within IS hours of their execution that
they would never be compelled to pay the
extreme penalty of the law Powerful pleas
were made to the governor for commutation,
but he declined TO interfere. Bald knobber-
ism is now defunct in this section.

UNFAIR ADVANTAGES
To Canadian Roads Still the Cry OF Our
Railroad Men.

NEW YORK, May 10.
The United States Senate committee on
the interstate commerce law met az ain TODAY.
President Smith of the chamber of com
meree, the first witness, said the chamber
had always been and is nov strongly in
favor of the interstate commerce Law and
thought it of great benefit to shippers
But said he. while We know this to be
SO. the chamber is of the oplpion that the
present law is capable of some amendments
and Improvements which will be of add
tional benefit"
As r, CARDS pooling don't think il is the
greatest evil in the world, as it served in a
great measure to keep certain roads from
favoring certain localities aud certain ship
pers, but if the interstate commerce Law is
rigidly adhered TO, it would be better than
pooling, SO far as the interests of such ship
pers are concerned. The Canadian
roads are constantly increasing their
amount of traffic between New Eng
land and Chicago TO the detriment of the
American roads and it seems unfair to allow
such advantages 10 Canadian roads over
American lines.
