Rose Hanged.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Oct. TO-
William Rose was hanged to-day for
the crime of murder. The execution
was very faulty. The unfortunate in
reality had to be hanged twice before
the law was declared vindicated. A
few minutes before5 am, he was taken
to the gallows and when the first drop
was made the rope broke. The sheriff S
deputies carried the man back and. adj
justing the second moose, another drop
was made which proved fatal.
Both the ropes used were seven-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter. The
rope which broke had been tested with
a weight of 2O5 pounds, while Roses
weight was 100 pounds.
The crime for which William Rose
was convicted was the murder Of Moses
l.. Lufkin on the evening of Ang. %.
1855, in the house of Eli Slower in the
town of Gales, Redwood county.
The shooting took p ace at about SIS
o'clock on the evening mentioned.
About 1890 on the same evening two
Or three parties started from Gales and
drove to Tracy and aroused the officers.
About 5 a. IN. the next day the officers
went to the home of William Rose and
there found his pony tied to stake
some distance from the house. The
pony was jaded and evinced every indi-
cation of having been overridden. With.

look of a regular landslide. In this
emergency the remnant" of the Re-
publican party, as the Times was
pleased to designate our convention,
called upon Chalk Beeson with I'M
neratlye aid unanim ,us demand that
he take the field and confront the
candidate who represented the real
commander Of Tie democratic hosts.
Mr.. Beesun's inclination has not
heretofore .een in the direction OF
D. litics. Raising cattle and cultiva-
ton Of his farm has always had more
attraction for him than the political
arena. Friends had repeatedly urged
him in vain to come ont for office
when the prospect for success seemed
bright, but in this time of doubt and
uncertainty he came to the front and
led the fight. It was one Of the most
peculiar campaigns ever made in Ford
county. The new party fever had
not caught ON out here when raging
last year over the rest Of the state, but
for that reason it was infused with
the charm of novelty and the
feeling Of uncertainty was IN
element that tended to lose us the
active efforts Of tim"rous republicans.
The rest vi the ticket was made mp
from among our strongest and most
courageous workers. If it had not
been So the dismal forebOdings Of the
doubtful element in the party would
have been realized. Our candidates
were beset by a hitherto victorious
democracy in front Of them, the gall
ing ire Of the new party thinned the
republican ranks in the country pre-
cincts where the alliance held sway,
while distractiny schemes were in
vented; 70 engender internal strife
ever the liquor question. Through
all these difficulties our standard
bearers led the republican cause, and,
though some Of the offices still re
main with the enemy we have
wrested from them four county
Offices, two of which have been held
by democrats and two by converts to
the new political faith denominated
the Peoples Party. A. j. Abbott
will wear the Judicial ermine another
term. His majority is decisive,
though not SO large as he deserved.
The personal prestige of Whitelaw in
this county would have given him a
plurality equal to that for Abbott in
his home county had it not been for
the splendid fight made by our can
didates for the whole ticket. Ru-
mors were rife that Beeson was sac
rificins Abbott, but they were utterly
unfounded, and though they were
very annoying to our candidate for
Sheriff, and doubtless caused some
Abbott votes to falter in Beeson's
support, that gentleman never wa
vered in his loyal and gallant battle
for the whole ticket. and the distin-
guished honor of the largest vote of
any county candidate in the fight was
his reward.
The failure of the third party or
ganization to make show Of
strength for their ticket rs whole
approaching to that of either of the
old parties in this county, and its ut
ter collapse all over the State, will
have the effect to eliminate it from
Ford county politics hereafter, and
those who care to take part in polit
ical trays with any prospect of sue
cess will range themselves with one
or the other Of the old parties in the
future.

Foul Play Feared.

Patrick McIntire, wealthy farmer
of Rosetield township, Peoria county.
has disappeared under circumstances
which indicate foul play. He and his
wife went to Peoria and sold small
piece of land for S735. McIntire, who
is about 60 years of age, received the
money. His wife returned home, but
McIntire remained until the following
day, when he started home with the
money in his possession. Since that
date he has not been heard from. The
old gentleman made no secret of the
fact that he was carrying good deal of
money, and the supposition is that some
of the many strangers who were at
tending the state fair robbed and muir
dered him.
