have had many victories, but none so
popular as to-day's triumph over Yale
and Harvard. When the news came that
Cornell had signally defeated both Yale
and Harvard, the scene in the streets was
almost beyond description.
Students embraced each other and pro
fessors forgot their dignity. as they
oheered and flung their hats in the air.
In an incredibly short time the business
houses on the principal streets of the city
were decorated with the red and white of
Cornell, and as the ringing of bells spread
the news all over the city. private resi-
dences were hastily decorated with Amer
lean flags and the Cornell colors.
The students and Ithaca citizens secured
a band tonight and paraded the streets
OF the city. Many of the paraGers were
dressed In fantastic costumes of red and
white, with hats and parasols in the same
popular colors.
There were crowds of spectators all
along the line of march and repeated
cheers were given for Cornell the var
sity crew and Coach Courtney.
Soon after the result OF the race was
known cannons began to boom In various
parts of the city and the stock of cannon
crackers laid in by the dealers for July
4 was practically exhausted. Every house
in town was displaying the red and white
the stars and stripes and also large plac-
ards announcing the time and distance by
which Cornell won.
The Italian band gave a concert tonight
at which half of the population of the city
was present. Everybody wore ribbons,
streamers or something to mark the vic
tory.
Tonight large number of people went
to Berwick Beach on Cayuga lake where
the victory was celebrated with fireworks,
a brass band concert, college songs and
yells. The celebration OF this evening,
however, is regarded as only preliminary
outburst to what will happen when the
crew comes home

again sent through the drop and was al
lowed to hang twenty-five minutes. The
first drop was very hurried as the con-
demned man nearly tainted when the
moose was adjusted.
The massacre of Crocker his wife and
13-year-old son, grew out of a feud over
land. Mrs Crocker had previously been
indicted for killing, one day, member of
the Williamson faction, but had not been
tried. On the eve of the murder, Crock
er and his family were surrounded by six
men in a neighboring house. Seeing es-
cape for himself was hopeless, he sent his
wife out on the prairie and put his boy be-
tween mattresses. The murderers finally
shot him many times. found the boy and
killed him as he lay then pursued the
woman, and a Winchester was placed TO
her head and her brains blown out. An
other member of the gang is serving a
life term.
