From the Hazlcton Plain Speaker
1t is feared that the councilmcn of
Frceland have II gold brick on their
hands when they decided practically to
purchase stone crusher, which they
were induced, through the activity of
agents who hung about the North Side
Legislators until they consented, to buy.
When it is necessary for agents to CON
vince set of councilmen of the advs-
ability of securing apparatus of that
kind it does not seem that it is supreme
ly needed for the public Improvement.

HUCkLEBERRY SEASON.
Something About the Past and Present
of Quiet Industry.

From the Hazlcton Sentinel.
Although the market has not vet
opened up the huckleberry pickers are
already securing the mountains and a
number have appeared in the city offer
ing the delicious berries for sale Few
people know to what magnitude the
gathering and sale of berries has grown
in this section during the past few years.
1t is an industry in itself, and gives en-
ployment to many hundreds of persons
including boys, girls, women and men,
The youngsters prcdominate in the
localities outside of here. but right in
town the Italians seem to be the most
numerous.
The scores of these swarthv berry
pickers who may be seen vending their
way to market each evening do not
represent all of the people Interested in
the work.
There are the express companies.
The agents are kept on a jump from the
opening to the close of berry season.
The amount OF freight transported
from here during that time is greater
than at Christmas or during the peach
season which in the peach growing
states requires special trains to han
die.
The most of the berries go to New
York. which seems to be an outlet for
anything. Pittsburg too are good pat
ronS of the commission merchants at this
season, while Buffalo and other New
York state towns handle great many.

mob oe several thousand attacked
the jail. After Il show Of resistance
on the part of the authorities the mob
battered in the ttail doors and forcibly
took possession of the prisoners. The
two men were taken to the bank
which they attempted to rob and were
hanged to a telegraph pole. The first
impulst Of the half-crazed mob was to
burn the prisoners, but calmer council
prevailed.
Yells of "hang the kid first" went
up. 1.-The Kid" refused to say a word,
and those having him, in charge
yanked him onto IL box. In a moment
the rope was about his neck. All this
time the kid WIS jeering Mt the crowd,
laughing aud cursing. He said that
he was not afraid to die and told them
to pull the rope when they felt like it.
Between his curses he said that his
name was Younger Lewis, and that

the crowd. poking fun ut them and
cursing fora moment. and then some
one yelled: "Time is up" The kid
said: II am twenty years old and
robbed that - bank. I am dead
game and ready to die. Go ahead"
In an instant he was pulled up above
the throng. He never quivered or
kicked. He just went up in the air
and he is hanging there now. Men
on the frontier for years and years
say no GAMER man ever died. He was
the coolest man in oil the great throng.
All this time Crawford was a spec
tator of the scene. He began to
weaken and confessed. giving some
valuable information. He placed the
responsibility for the crime on tho
kid. The mob pulled Crawford off
the improvised platform next to the
bank he attempted to rob, and his
head was about on level with the
dangling feet of his companion: He
asked for Capt. Burnett. The latter
was a spectator in the crowd. He
went to Crawford and had a long
talk. Crawford had worked OH Bur-
nett's ranch for years, and was a
trusted man. He began stealing his
employers stick, however, and asso-
chatting with territory outlaws. The
two parted company. Crawford con-
fessed to the robbery, but denied the
murder. He was small man poorly
clad, with red face and short clipped
mOustache. When they began to
look for second rope he begged for
whisky. 1t was given him. He talked
and then begged for more. He again
addressed the crowd in Comanche,
English and Spanish. Those who un-
derstood say his utteranccs were in
coherent. The rope soon arrived ana
it was put about his neck. He fell
either in faint OF from the effects of
the liquor he had drunk. He was
soon strung up with his companion.
