Lancaster, Pa, June s.-Ralph w. Wireback. the murderer of b. E. Lan dis. was hanged in the jail yard, in the presence of several hundred per sons. The drop fell It lo:I5, and life was pronounced extinct Is minutes later.
 This was the first execution in this county since 1858. Wireback walked quietly to the scaffold, and died with. out a struggle.
 The crime for which Ralph W. Wire back was hanged was the murder, on April :. 1898. of David B. i.andis. pres ident of the Conestoga national bank. Wireback occupied a house owned by Landis. and which the latter sold. Wireback refused to vacate the prem ises. claiming that he had verbal agreement with Landis which gave him the option of retaining the house another year. Proceedings were insti- tuted. and constable repaired to the house to eject him. He found the house barricaded from cellar to gar het- Wireback was driven from room to room until. eventually. he took refuge in the garret, which had been strongly barricaded, ard access 10 which was only by nerrow stairway. He was armed with sn old muzzle-load- ing shotgun, and from m aperature in the barricade, he had complete con- trol of the stairway. During one of the numerous parleys held with him. he asked for Mir. Landis. and the lat ter ascended the steps. when Wire back asked what would bc done for his (wireback's) family if he should surrender. Landis made an equivocal fired. blowing oil the top of Landis' head Wireback then surrendered.
 Hanging at Bethany, Mo.
 Bethany. Mo-. June s.-Freeman Cochran. who killed George Stans- brough near here in 1897. was hanged in the county jail here He ate Il hearty breakfast, and went to the scaffold with assurance. Before th, trap was sprung Cochran made speech, saying he had accepted re- ligion. and urging the spectators to beware of liquor, which. he said, had caused his downfall.
 Cochran and Stansbrough were farm CTS, and quarreled over d woman. Ac- cording to mutual agreement. they fought out their differences with bare fists. After honor had apparently been satisfied, both men shook hands and retired to a nearby farmhous. Within few minutes Cochran secured a shotgun, and deliberately shot Stars- brough in the back, mortally wound ing him.

the summer month shorts. who had taken
fright at rumors Of an emicable settlement OF
the trouble In the Eastern mills and the re-
port that the acreage this year would be de-
cieased. The far months manifested reia
