LARAMIE, wy. t., Feb. 26.-George
A. Black was hanged here this afternoon
for the murder OF Robert Burnett in
May, 1889. Black retired at l a. N.
this morning and was called at 6. He
awoke twice the flrss time in an hour,
when he said to the death watch: "You
believe told the truth, don't your"
The procession was formed at IL CLOCK.
The services on the scaffold were very
brief, and Black walked INTO the trap
unattended. Sheriff Yund brought the
black cap and asked for his final state
ment. In slow but distinct
tones the reply came: 81
have nothing to say except
that am not the man who did it. - The
trap was sprung at 11:l0 a. m. and shot
up three feet and half, like sand
bag with which the gibbet had been
tested. The big knot slipped around to
the back of bis head but broke his neck.
Black and Burnett lived on adjoining
claims near Laramie. The former
coveted the latter 8 ranch and attempted
to purchase it, but Burnett refused to
sell. The contest for the property as
ku-klux plan was adopted with effect.
A lewd woman was brought from the
slums of Laramie, but an offer
of marriage or permanent companlonship
from her could not induce the victim to
sign deed to his property. Black be-
came desperate and commenced to shoot
at the old man every time they met. A
short time after this Burnett was quite
i'll for several days. but through his suf-
fering retained sufficient presence Of
mind to throw away food brought to him
by the Blacks. Burnett disappeared last
Nav, but his abse nee elected no COM
ment for month, and then
inquirers were told by the Blacks that
their neIghbor had gone to visit his SIS
ter and had sold his place to them.
Friends of the old man were certain
that he had been murdered and sug-
gested search for his body, but Black
vetoed this project, saying he would
shoot the first man who moved In the
matter aud it was promptly abandoned,
for Black was known as a desperate
fellow and was feared as heartily as he
was hated. Detectives were set to work
and after q months work found Bur-
nett's burned remains in a patch of
brush near the cabin. Black was ar
rested with companion named Rock
well. At the last moment the latter
turned state 3 evidence, testfying that
Black had deliberately murdered and
cremated the old man for the purpose
of securing his ranch.

TEE GAZETTE BUREAU,

Glr-- L,nEn slE INlan


The amount Of crime that is cropping
ont in Dallas these days is alarming, and
even the police have now arrived at the
conclusion that extraordinary measures
will have to be taken to suppress it. It
is the small crime that predominates-
the petty thief, the midnight depredator,
the highwayman who skulks in dark COR
ners and waylsYs the home going pedes-
trian, the burglar of private resldences-
though now and then, as the reports
show, there is an open, daring crime of
peculiar audacity or atrocity, that
startles the people and brings
them to realizing sense of
the condition of affairs. The records of
the city court stack up as follows: Re-
ceipts from fines for misdemeauors to-
day, SI67; yesterday, 5000; the past
week, S64S. That is bad. But it does
not account for those so-called higher
crimes OF which the recorder does not
take cogpizance. Those figures only in
clude such cases as the public never
hears about. To-day Chief of Police
Arnold issued orders to his men to take
in all suspicious characters seen within
the city limits, but the limited capacity
of the vaults will preclude q strict COM
pliance with the order.

thrilling story of bear hunting. Said he:
ut was out in New Mexico. After having
been separated from my company for some
hours, l saw and shot a very large CHINA
mon hear. When the smoke of my rifle had
cleared away, saw the big brown monster
go hell-a-ta- scoOt around sharp span of
the mountains. Going to that point,
found blood enough to smear all over the
door-posts of Egypt. Further on fonnd "a
fountain filled with blood but the old 'dy-
ing chief had gone further on; but his
tracks l saw and still pursued. until. in a
narrow way, l viewed him. But l didn't
more than view him until he threw his
great shaggy arms around me and seized
the top of my head in his lions month.
There | was, helpless. my lungs being
squeezed ont and my skull being broken
up like dry squash shell. Oh, it was hor-
rible, sirs.'' Then he paused for breath and
shudder went through his whole frame as
he recalled the frightful episode.

he ventured to ask:
