Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1897-08-05

The Indianapolis Journal prints this
interesting story concerning ex-Presi-
dent Harrison's forthcoming book:
General Harrison has just completed
the revision Of his articles which have
appeared in the Ladies Home Journal,
making extended notes and additions
to them. There is a little story con-
nected with both articles and publica-
tion. WheD the arrangement for the
articles was made with General Harri-
son by Edward w. Box, editor of The
Ladies' Home Journal, the General
was paid for them. with the UNDER
standing that when they we're put into
book form the magazine was to share
the royalties accruing therefrom. Mr..
Box, however, of his own accord, gen.
erously released General Harrison
from paying him any royalty, for the
reason, as he states, that by the publi-
cation of the articles bv General Har-
rison the subscription list OF his maga-
zine was enlarged many thousand.
The profits to The Ladies' Home Jour
nal were more than the publishers an
ticipated, and in view of this Mr.. Box
asks nothing further. General Harri-
son placed the disposition of his book
in Mr.. Bok's hands. The best offer
came to the editor from the Scribners,
and to them Mr. Box gave the book for
his distinguished contributor. Cen
eral Harrison's revision of the book
has just been completed, and the vol
ume will appear in the autumn.

The Hanging In EaYette.

On Tuesday, the oath, our sister
county of Fayette was to have had a
double hanging. Albert Wars, the
murderer, and Jerry Brown, ravisher,
were to suffer the penalties of their
crimes. Only one of the criminals,
Jerry Brown, paid the penalty, the other
one succeeded in effecting his escape
from Jail on the night Of the 18th inst.
Brown protested his innocence to the
last. The trap was sprung at 2.52 p. m
The fall did not break his neck, and he
was twenty-five minutes strangling to
death. The crowd in attendance was
not as large rs expected. Brown the
morning of his execution told what he
knew of the escape of Wars. His cell
was Immediately aboye that of Wars.
He said Steve Spears, one of the death
watch, was mixed up in the conspiracy
to free Wars, aud that four other men
assisted in saving the bars in the rear
of his cell, and two of them were tall,
one being very tall. Spears told them
to be in a hurry for Shelf McVey might
come in at any time. When Wars
crawled out they all went in the direc-
ton of the hill, separating as they went.
