SHERMAN.
A Portion of Gen. Hogg's Remarks MIscOn-
strued by Some of His Listeners.


Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, May 2s.-John
Rogers, for robbery in Denison, was
brought over and placed in jail in default
of $500 bond.
A portion of Mr.. Hogg's speech was
construed by some of his listeners to
mean that he would continue in the rae
for governor should he be defeated in
convention. Hr. Hogg was seen by The
GAZETTE correspondent, and was very
much worked up over such On idea pre-
vailing. His meaning was to continue
in the contest for the commission move
ment should he fail of tine nomination,
and remarked that he would be fool to
utter such language even if he was mean
enough to think of such measures as
some would understand him. His Ian
guage was PLAIN on this point, and no one
knowing the man should believe he
would be guilty of asking q nomination
and failing, utter Y disregard that action
and go before the people.
The ladies of the Confederate home
made the handsome sum of 1910 fro N
their big dinner yesterday.
THE GAZETTEs were three hours late
to-day caused by freight being ditched
west of here.
Mr.. Hogg left to-day for Montague.
The resignation of Judge Head of the.
district court has caused much surpr,se.

Adjourned TIL July lst.

A note of Wednesdays proceedings OF
the Congressional Conference at New Cas-
tie, was made last weeks paper.
On Thursday, the convention reassem-
bled. The Beaver Co. delegation voted
steadily for Townsend, excepting one time
when wishing to make Jackson show his
hand they all voted for Mcdowell, Butter
voted Black. Lawrence for Mcdowell and
Jackson. and Mercer for Mcdowell and
Brown. giving Mcdowell 3S votes and
making him the nominee, ii the vote mad
stood, but before it was announced, the
Beaver men arose and changed their vote
to Townsend. The Beaver men had
fsstrings to their votes" and the matter
was the subject of considerable joking dur
ing the next recess The meaning OF the
thing was that Jackson is or was determin-
ed to beat Townsend.
Then Beaver Co. wanted to adjourn, out
that was voted down, and the order OF
voting was reversed, i:e, from Beaver,
Butler. Lawrence and Mercer, to Mercer,
Lawrence, Butler and Beaver, and ballot
ing was continued until forty-eight ballots
had taken when the Convention adjourned
till next day.
On Friday, balloting was continued
Beaver voting steadily for Townsend, al
Butler. Lawrence and Mercer compliment
ing each other with few votes occasion
ally. During the day the Butler delegation
resisted propositions from both the Law
renee and Mercer delegations, either OF
which would have led to the nomination
of Mcdowell, and the Convention resolved
that when it did adjourn it would adjourn
to meet in New Castle on July 1st.
Late that night after 100 ballots had
been taken, the Beaver men made another
effort to adjourn and succeeded; Mercer
Co. giving them fourteen votes and Law
renee three, making 81 in all, bare ma
jority, and the Convention stood adjourned
The Beaver men wished to adjourn till at
ter the State Convention, when they ex-
pect some help from Quay.
The Butler delegation pursued an hon
orabie course throughout, Galbreath's S
speech was the best made, and the delega-
ton came home with nothing to regret

A Shocking Execution.

ELKo, New, June 20.-One OF the most
terrible scenes in the history of death by
the moose was witnessed in the Elko jail
yards this morning, when Josiah and
Elizabeth Potts were hanged for the mur-
der of Miles Faucett. Hardened men
shuddered and turned pale as they saw the
woman's head nearly cut off by the rope
and the blood drench her clothing, while
beside her swung in fearful contortions the
the body of her husband.
A MOST HIDRoUs CRIME.
The Pottses have been in Jail over year
for a particularly atrocious murder on New
ears day, 1888. Faucet was well-to-
do bachelor, 20 years old, and born, like
the Pottses, in Manchester, Eng. They
were friends, but Faucet disappeared, and
about q year afterward the Pottses were
arrested. At their trial evidence which
was clearly circumstantial showed that for
the sake of obtaining ready money the
woman had struck her victim on the head
with an ak, then crushed his skull to pre-
vent Identification Not satisfied with this,
the two cat up the body, and the woman
tried to boil it down, but could not on ac-
count of the stencil. She tried to feed it
to animals, and ended it by burying the
body under the house.
THE WOMAN MUCH THE WORSE.
The man was a spiritless being, but his
wife had all the spirit, venom and bitter
ness of hardened woman, so that an
awful scene was expected to precede the
execution. During the time she was in
Jail Elizabeth gave ample proof of her fear
full temper and terrible tongue. Last night
she had her last tantrum. She upbraided
her husband, called him a coward and
sneak, and when the officers attempted to
reply, turned on them and berated them
ferccly. Then she went to bed, but not
without hurting q curse at her husband.
She closed her eyes and seemed to sleep,
just as she had done ON Wednesday when
she sought suicide, when suddenly one of
the watchers heard her gasp, and when he
asked her what was the matter, she teebly
asked for water. The guards then dis
covered upon investigation that she had
severed an artery right before their eyes.
A physician fixed up the wound, after
which she was never left alone for mo-
ment up to the moment of her death in the
most shocking manner to-day.
