HOW THEY DIED.
Inc Burning Of Two Indians Described
In an Official Communication.

washington, February THE At
torney General sent to the Senate to-
day letter written by Assistant
united States Attorney McMechen,
giving the results Of his investigation
into the recent burning of two Semi
mole indians in Oklahoma by a mob.
ne says that the sentiment in the
nelghborhod of the crime is all with
the mob, and he was informed that
1t would not be well for him or any
other person to go into that locality
II 1t was known that the object was
to locate the conspirators. Mr. Nc
Mechen's letter tells in the main an
old story, but gives some new details.
McGlsy was, he says, the first of the
INDIANS to move muscle after the
torch was applied, and he did not
move until the flesh was beginning to
drop from his limbs and the fire was
beginning to touch his ears "He then
gave loud whoop and bent over as
far as the chain would allow him and
sucking in the flames sank down and
expired without showing any more
signs of pain Not so with Palmer
Simpson; he did not move until after
McGisy had inhaled the flames. Then
he commenced to kick with both feet,
throwing burning pieces of wood 25
CT 80 feet away. 1t was with diff
Guilty that they succeeded in getting
him burned"
Mr.. McMechen says that Baptist
minister named Hiram Holt prayed
for the two Indians before the execu-
ton, and that as he knelt in prayer
he held a rifle in his hand

night Over one hundred members
were present and the evening through
out was marked by great enthusiasm
The meeting was addressed by D. H.
Milligan, late editor of the St. Glars
Vile Gazette and one of the staunch-
est Democrats in Ohio. His remarks
throughout were we'll received and
were extremely strong in behalf of the
free silver" issue. Among many
things he said that the one great po-
litical line, and upon which depends
the salvation of the party is the free
and unlimited coinage OF both god
and silver at the ratio Of sixteen to
one. with or without the consent of
other nations He also characterized
Mr.. Bryan as one of the most gallant
and patriotic citizens of America. The
meeting was brought to close with
the satisfaction that it was the most
successful that has yet been called by
the club.
