i His court was a continuous perform
ance. He opened court at s a. m.and
sat in iudriment until dark. When
he pissed his first death sentence he
burst into tears. Notwithstanding that
lie aftcrwarI sentenced 100 others to
death and sent 1870 more to prison
for life. lie was burned and hanged
in ciligy in Indian Territory. On the
day Of his death there was a joyful
riot at the old Jail at Fort Smith, Ar

lie had two ruling principles: "Do
equal and exact Justice" was one aud
tho other, Permit no innocent man
to be punished, but let no guilty man
escape Men were hanged in squads
OF five at Il time by his orders. lie
was ut onc the most esteemed man

passed the death sentence on 200

There is Il ten inch pipe leading
out OF this compartment and it WAS
suggested that the burning OF red

that it was time To move. So some OF

Gone. but not Forgotten.

Tie editor OF the Livingston Dem.
ocrat published at Geneseo ,NewYork
threatens to elnbalm the memories OF
some Of the citizens OF his county
in this wise il they do not mead their
ways:
Thomas Blank died at his home in
this village Saturday, July 30, at the
age OF 20 years. lie had been con-
fined to his bed for several weeks as q
result Of u drunken brawl in which
lie had several ribs broken. one eye
Knocked out besides other injuries.
MIR. Blank was born at Slaugterville,
and during his youth was considered
one OF the toughest little rascals in
town. lie WIS continually getting in
trouble and this followed him all
through life. In 1863 he was arrested
for horse stealing, tried AMI convict
ell and served ten yenss i'll the state
prison. Upon his release he forged a
note for $500 and vas arrested upon
this charge but the matter was hush
ed up and the suit was never pushed.
He WIS INTO crooked deals OF all kinds
and was arrested time and again for
fighting. drunkenness, etc. AS n pro-
fame man he had no equal. About
every other word was an oath while
talking with his associates, though he
refrained from swearing in the society
Of ladies and made Il very favorable
Impression. AS Il liar Ananias could
not hold Il candle to him. In fact he
could not be believed under oath
Mr.. Blank never paid his bills and
was an all around bad man. The
funeral was held from his late resi-.
dence the same day that he died. and
there was not a friend to follow him
to his las, resting place, and it is the
hope OF everybody that he has gone
to a hotter place than he ever got in
to in tins world. Tho community ut
large will rejoice with ,hc family that
he has gone.
