Special 70 the IT. Smith Times
PARIS. Tex, Feb. LA scene which
rivals In its horrors the famous Span.
ish inquisition, was enacted Just cut
side VI the city limits, when after two
hours ofmost excruciating torture Rob.
ert Dowery, alias Harry Smith, alias
Greene Johnson, was burned to death
in the presence of ten thousand people.
Dowery arrived at O'Clock over the
T. 4 p, from Hope, Ark, where he
was captured, accompanied by the Ia
to meet him. The negro was taken
from the train and placed upon . wag-
on with q raised seat and drawn by six
mules, driven over town and around
the square. Three hundred men on
horseback, armed with Winchesters,
accompanied him. From the square,
the negro was taken back to the T. &
p. depot, where the cremation took
place. A seaffold about eight feet high
had been erected with an upright post
in the middle. To this post, the negro,
baref0oted and stripped to the waist,
was bound and the torture hogan, the
father aud brother of his victim doing
most Of the work. Two tuners furna-
ces stood on the platform and In each
glowed two white hot irons. After the
negro had been securely tied, Vance
and his son each grasped an iron and
applied them to Dowery's toss burning
OF his toe nails. The negro writhed in
s,o1v1 q nd hsn oaroo r,o vayoPo foerih1o Afe
executi0uers kept up their horrible
work, changing irons, when one began
to cool. When they tired there were
plenty of willing hands to CARRY on
the work. The irons were applied to
the tenderest parts of the body, the
tongue and eyes burned out and only
when the negro was mass of burns,
did his executl 'ners quit applying
them. The body was then covered
with coal oil and what little clothing
was left, was set on fire while willing
hands piled up combustable matter be-
meath the platform and fred it. The
negro's groans and cries were pitiful
in the extreme, but the mob had no
mercy for the brute and answered
with cheers. D0wery was apparently
lifeless when the fire severed the cords
which bound him and he fell forward
on his face. To the surprise of every
one he rose on his charred feet, with
his disfigured aud blistered hands
clutching at the air, he staggered to
the edge of the platform and slid into
the fire beneath, uttering the most pitt
ful and wierd cries from his tongueless
mouth. He crawled out but was cast
back into the flames and, the scaffold
falling, he was buried in the debris,
and the body was left to be consumed
by the flames. Dowery's crime was
the rape and murder of little Myrtle
Vance, one of the most horrible crimes
recorded in criminal annals. He con-
fessed his crime, while being fastened
to the stake and plead piteously for
mercy.

Occasionly there have been those who have
innocently and ignorsntly inveighed against
Shskspere; the cause being. that they have not
had the mind to appreciate him, nor intelligence
enough to have any misgivings as to their own
ability to Judge of weighty matters: And, when
II has been thought necessary to notice such
self-confident self.sufIicient persons by any one
who has the charity that truly enlightened in
telligence gives 1t Is with pity rather than con-
sure. Pity, because such persons have to grovel
among the dali aspects Of things, which those
have to suffer who have been so unfortunate as
to have their minds bound in the obscurity of
cl0uded reason, so that they have not preceived
that there Is q glow Of beauty everywhere in
nature 20 be enjoyed by those who are capable
Of contemplating IT. Such contem plations ~

urally they We're not In favor OF
strip settlement and strip occupa-
ton. The longer they could keep
It In Cherokee hands tie better.
So, one way and another, by Offer
ing big money themselves for the
land and in other ways they kept
the Indians on the wrong side of
the idea of selling the strip to the
government for some time. We
never could have gotten anywhere
near buying at any price had the
government not stepped in and
driven OF the cattle. That elimina.
ted the cattlemen from the affair.
But there was q strong notion still
on the part Of many Indians to
hang on. Some wanted more
money and some really did not
want to sell at ell.
"But trouble began brewing for
the Cherekees themselves. Some
people got the idea and circulated
it that the Cherokees did not own
the strip, any way that it belonged
to the government, and that the
government could occupy it. Then
the Cher0kees took q sudden
scare. 1t occurred to them that
they might not get any money at
all. This set them to thinking. The
saln OF it all was that, after a great
deal ofsee-sawing and talking, and
going to and fro generally, Indians
in Washington aud commissioners
with Cherokees, the Indians con-
cluded to take e1.4l an acre if the
government would give it; and SO
