Man Supposed to Have Been Murdered
Stops Hanging.
From the Washington Star: Ex-Sher-
iff Blakeslee of Comanche county, Ne
braska, told a story of his experience in
office to a Star writer the other day. Il
never hanged a man." he said. The
vigilance committee usually settled
hanging offenses outside of the courts.
Then we were not fixed for taking care
of many prisoners. When 1 was eher-
iff there were only three rooms to the
Jail, and all of them small. One L
slept in, another used for an office
and the other 1 kept my prisoners in
when had any.
Zone time received a man charged
with numbering his partner. There was
little doubt about his guilt, so the
vigilance committee turned him over
to me. The prisoner and the murdered
man had left together, and somebody
found the partners body in the bushes.
A few miles farther on they caught the
prisoner, who had gun and other prop
erty known to have belonged to the
murdered man. It was a bad case, the
body being mutilated as to be almost
,unrecognizabIe, but the prisoner said
he was innocent, and I never had a
more sociable fellow or better card
player in the jail. He was the only one
there, and after 1 really got acquainted
with him we would play old sledge IN
til late at night and then bunk together
HE was tried and convicted, but it
made no difference with him. It was
my first hanging, and we got the gal

work and making comments on it. The
rope came and he saw it. BILL said
he, 'yo' amt no good as a sheriff. Don't
yo' know that ere rope ought ter be
soaked? don't want this affair Of ours
to go off any other way than smooth.
Yo' go soak that rope So 1 soaked the
rope, the prisoner helping me, and the
night before the hanging we sat down
to play old sledge. He said; Bill, amt
goin' to interfere none, an don't blame
yo', an no man kin say that tried ter
run or didn't die game, but l want 20
to promise me, if yo' ever meet that
partner of mine, yo' will shorely shoot

right, and it's shore mean fer i'm to

with the game. About 10 o'clock man
came to the window and shouted for me,
then he tried the door of the office. and
it wasn't locked. He walked right in
and said: Hello, Jim! Hello, BilIY 1t
was the man we thought was murdered.

so we KANT settle but one way. ShuckF
Then there was the prettiest fight
ever saw, Jim pounding his partner IN
til he called for quits. We all went to
see the Judge that night and called on
the hanging, knowing the man who we
thought mad been murdered. Then the
two men went away and we never saw
them again, neither did we ever find
out who the corpse was that we picked

Ored. and has recently been released from
the Kansas penitentiary, where he served
a term of twenty months for break

HE came to me at the Union Pacific
depot" said Clark, "and told me that he
had just seen man that had all kinds of
money. He added that he was going to

did not say he wanted me to help but l
took it that way or that he wanted me to
be around and share with him. So

Finger Rings Worn by Both Sexes-An
Old Time Brooch Revived.
Jewelry is, to a certain extent, infiu
enced by the wheel of fashion. Up
comes long forgotten mode in dress
and with it the ornaments of that period.
Now and then particular stone will be
discovered by an enterprising jewel
or, who will boom it for all it is worth,
like the moonstones of a few years back
and the opal and amethyst this season.
The decree of fashion has set a decided
value on these latter stones. The Divine
and topaz also come in for large share
of patronage. In the meantime the tur-
quolse continues to please with its own
special blue tint, as do fine garnets that
masquerade as cape rubies and supply
the ruby red when oriental rubies, now
scarce and costly, are not to be had. A
notable feature is that all kinds of col
ored stones are being used with lavish
hand in jewelry. The diamond remains
of course the popular gem, and speci-
mems most sought after are either per-
fectly colorless or possessing decided
tints of rose red, green or blue The as
ISOLATION of small diamonds with semi
precious stones is too familiar to need
comment. A combination that never
fails to please and which is now exceed
ingly fashionable is that of fine pearls
and diamonds
