THE GALLONS.
HANK PARIsH ExPIArEs THE
PENALTY OF THE LAW,

ne walks 60 the scaHoId and Meets
HIS Deem without FIfnchfng.
Hank Parish, for the murder OF A.
G. Thompson at Royal City last July,
was hung in front Of the Jail yesterday
at noon. The death warrant was read
by Sheriff Bassett in the Jail, and at
two minutes to IL O'Clock the solemn
procession wended its way from the
Jail to the scaffold. Parish ascending
the steps without the least apparent
fear. This was at two minutes to IL
O'Clock. There was quite a number of
spectators within the inclosure and
Parish stepped to the front railing and
for five minutes addressed them. The
News scribe caught on as follows:
az have been charged with a great
many crimes; / killed three men and
! vas right in doing it. The last man
| killed (Thompson) he assisted in
stringing me up three times. They say
| have a wife and family that l have
not treated right. My wife has been dead
thirteen years l have two children in
Oregon, well fixed. / am an ignorant
man, have always been Prosecuted
and am innocent of crime. ALI this
will appear in Mr.. Murphy's book of
my life and i want you to believe it,"
These words were spoken calmly
and with ordinary GOODNESS. He made
no reference whatever 10 the Unknown
Realm into which he was about to be
launched, nor expressed any regret for
anything he had done.
He then stepped back on the trap
door, shook hands with the Sheriff
and his attendants, the black cap was
pulled over his head, the rope adjusted
about his neck--and the News reporter
hurriedly walked into the courthouse
TO prevent witnessing the final act in
the drama Of life and death.
Sheriff Basset sprung the trap; the
fall was a little over six feet and the
doomed mans neck was broken. |
There was not a mov or culver of the
body, and as soon as DIR. Campbell
could get to feel the pulse he pro- |
nounced life extinct.
The whole time occupied in the ex-
ecution was about II minutes. Parish
went on the scaffold at two minutes to
twelve, and was cut down at 10 min
utes past ~.
DIR. Campbell examined his pulse
before he left the Jail. 1t was beating
at 80. When the black cap was
over his head it ran up to 142. |
Sheriff Bassett and Deputy Simpson
did a good job on Parish, and we
know they feel relieved now that it
is over, for it was by no means an
agreeable duty.
That Parish was a bad man, and
met the fate he deserved, is the gen.
eral sentiment Of this community

Carson Appeal: Alvaro Evans has
started a soap factory in Reno. Mr..
Evans is a mar Of great enterprise, but
we fear the success OF his soap factory.
People OF Nevada hate like the deuce
to buy anything that is made in Ne
vada. He should go to California,
make his soap there, hire California
people and then ship 1t to Reno,
where. by charging his patrons the
extra freight, he would find a ready
sale.

An Encounter with the Hostiles

DENVER, Dec. 16.-A News courier
has the following from Rapid City, S.
D.: A rancher has just arrived in
great haste to our commanding officer
and reports that a command of caval-
ry has been attacked and two officers
and fifty men killed, but the Indians
were repulsed with heavy losses. The
number OF Indians killed is not
known. The Indians we're put to rout.
This report is not authenticated. A
later dispatch says that the soldiers
we're outnumbered by their dusky
foes. For a long time the odds seemed
to favor the redskins, but the superior
discipline OF the cavalry at last began
to tell, and the Indians, losing their
nerve at seeing their comrades moved
down in great numbers, finally broke
and raj from the field, their rout be-
ing complete.

Arrival in the City OF Henry e. Dixey
With His Company.
A number of Henry E. Dixey's most init
mate friends left the city yesterday to nj eet
the popular comedian and his big company
on the overland train, and among the num-
Der was a reporter for THE CALL. The
party boarded the special train containing
the members of his burlesque company at
Benicia. The train consisted of five cars,
two for baggage and scenery, two sleepers,
and private car for Mr.. Dixey and his
manager, Barclay Ii. Warburton. Mr..
Dixey was found eagerly read ing THE
CALL, possibly as much for domestic as
for professional reasons. However, he
looked as youthful as ever, and nearly all
inquiries directly bearing on his engage
ment here he politely referred to his hand
some young manager. The genial Henry
Z. said for the sake of the female element
in his company he wished that Frisco was
theatrical route. For himself, as he re-
marked, it did not matter. He had the
comfort, thanks to his managers, of pri-
vate car, and only wished that money was
sufficiently plentiful that he might provide
private dining-cars for the whole organiza-
would of course be impossible. Referring
to his recent engagement in Chicago, Mr.:
DiXey did not disguise certain amount of
pride, both for himself and his
management concerning his fourteen
weeks run b IN engage Ss INIT Du6ns ,n ns
productions, the last being that of i" Rip
Van Winkle," about which Mr.. DiXey
seemed more than confident for the future.
Notwithstanding the Indifferent criticisms,
citing the fact that 'Adonis at Its lncep-
ton met with the same fate.
WarhurtDn nr0yai a than mod
est individual, considering the Importance
of his invested interests i'll the organization.
He was sanguine over the reception OF the
Seven Ages" although he was familiar
with the fact that San francisco is partleu-
larly original in its theatrical comments,
and often pleased with that which is some
times declined elsewhere and vice versa.
He is man OF means and appears to have
that Independent courage of sticking to his
own convictions against all odds. SO Tar he
has met with nothing but success.
A visit was next made to the rear car,
where number of the DlXey girls were
found who had been In San francisco be-
fore. Miss Mae BransOn, for instance, met
the delegation with an enthusiastic well
come She had some complaints to make
regarding the number OF railroad ties it
took to make mile, and wished that the
eating stations along the line were more nu-
mer0us and better stocked. She came TO
the philosophical conclusion, however, that
Frisco was close at hand, where the torrid
heat of Chicago was at an end, and where
good living was proyerb.
The Dixey company merry company
of players" individually and collectively.
all seem to be imbued more or less with the
exuberant good fellowship of their manager
and star. The company dispersed to their
several destinations on arrival, Mr.. Dixey
and Mr.. Warburton going 10 the Baldwin
Hotel to get some little rep0se between
now and the rehearsal tomorrow.
