LINCOLN. NEB.. Jan. 5.-Populist

These democrats explain their

MEN PAID THE PENALTY OF THE LAW
They Fought Like Demons, But Were Overpowered By
Deputies Dramatic Climax When Sheriff Boone
Went Into The Cell of Para-"f 1t Takes
Bullet PII Fire It," He Said.

The double hanging at the county
jail today developed into one of the
most sensational episodes in the
criminal history of Texas.
As the cell was opened to conduct
Antonio Flores to the scaffold, both
he and Geronimo PARA suddenly drew
wire daggers, previously sharpened
and concealed about their persons, and
made a desperate aud vicious attack Oh
the deputies surrounding them.
PARA attacked Jim Hunter, who
was guarding his cell door. Quickly
State Ranger Saunderson drew his gun
and covered the Mexican. Cowed, he
shrank back into his cell and the door
was quickly slammed. He was held
safe for the moment but not so Flores,
who was already out in the corridor.
FLoREs's ANGRY CRY
"You shall all go to hell with me, :"
he yelled, maddened with the thought
of the awful fate soon to be his.
Then he sprang with his wicked dag:
ger toward Ed Bryant, aud With
vicious underhand strokes plunged it
repeatedly into his clothing, attempt
ing to reach a vital spot.
Instantly he was seized by powerful
deputies, but the strength of q demon
was his aud for a full minute he fought
the officers, until at last overpowered
by four strong mer.
Tim Lyons, Ed Bryant, Eugene
Bruce and Sheriff Boone seized him
and bore him down to the iron floor
There he was held and the handcuffs
were adjusted to his wrists.
When be was fully secured, evide emily
realizing the hopelessness of any fur
ther attempt, Flores became quiet, but
there was in his eyes look of demoni-
aosl satisfaction OF having done his best
to take his keepers down to death with
him.
His hands and feet were bound and
his knees, also, and he was assisted to
take his place above the fatal drop in
the little enclosure in the corner of the
corridor.
HIS FINAL FARE WELL.
AS he stood there, and as the death
was read to him by De-
putty Comstock his eyes wan
dered over the crowd, eagerly
seeking the fact of some one whom he
knew. AS he recognized successively
several acquaintences, Ike Alderete
among them. he murmured, slightly
bowling, "Adios, senores, adios.''
He turned slightly and even though
his hands were bound shook hands in
token of mute goodbye with Alderete.
The reading OF the death warrant
took fully five minutes, and as Deputy
Comstock read it was translated to the

The prisoners color was ehastly, but
his eyes seemed to express sort Of
exultation, rather than fear.
When asked if he had anything to
say, by the sheriff, he replied:
81 wish to be pardon edfor what have
done. L want my body to be delivered
to my family. That is all 1 have to
say"
His last words were translated by
Bryant and when at their conclusion
the sheriff asked if he had anything
more to say, there was no reply and
the black cap was adjusted.

Sheriff Boone, when the fitting on of
the black cap occasioned a stir and a
movement forward among the on
lockers.
81 want to talk with my son. came
in muffied tones from the black cap.
"Be STILL" said Father Pinto.
''Your talk will be with God"
THE TRAP SPRUNG.
There was "a momentary pause, a
sharp clang of the lever, the steel
doors parted and that peculiar, sick
ening thud proclaimed that the rope
had done it's work we'll, and the body
of Antonio Flores hung, limp and in
ert, lazily swinging at the ropes end.
The drop was perfect. His neck was
broken by the fall. There was no
movement of the muscles, no contrac-
tion, nothing to show that the man had
aught of feeling after the fall.
The body was allowed to hang for
several moments without being dis
turbed.
The drop occurred at 81 o'clock
At :35 he was examined by DR..
Stevenson, DR.. Cantwell, DR.. Harle
and DR.. Sherman, and pronounced
dead. The body was permitted to
hang until l. 40 o'clock, and then 1t was
swung into the second tier of cells and
the sheriff attempted to take the rope
from around the neck.
So heavy was Flores and so great had
been the force of the fall that it was
found impossible to clip the rope from
around the neck and four strong men
drew the body up to the landing of the |
third tier of cells and there the rope
was finally loosed from around his
neck.
THAT WICKED DAGGER. !
Then came the most intensely dra-
matte incident of the day.
PARA, the desperate outlaw, about
to be hung, was known to have con-
cealed about him another of those
wicked dsggers with which Flores had
almost done such deadly execution.
He was known to be desperate and

The Issue Raised BY Her
Seizure Of American
Flour
and GERMAN SHIPS
And the German Ambassador
And Secretary Hay Con-
sidering What Steps
To Take

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The seizure
and search of the German mail steam
err, General, by the British authorities
at Alden may be the final straw on not
too patient camel. The United States
is in the same position as Germany so
far as seizures are concerned. The
forcible taking of several cargoes OF
American flour and provisions con-
signed to Lorenzo MARQUEE has not
vet been explained by Eng land, which
is pursuing a waiting policy and play
ing for all the delay she can get.
1t is learned at the state department
that unless reparation and proper apo
logies are proffered soon, this govern
ment will formally ask Great Britain
to define her attitude in regard to con-
traband. This is usual in time of war,
but thus far England has lodged the
issue, preferring to seize whatever she
wants and defer the postmortem un-
til some time in the future.
The state department is extremely
displeased at Eneland's action. A con-
ference on the subject has recently
been held between the German ambas-
sador and the secretary of state.
ENGLAND MUST ANSWER.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-It is understood
that Secretary Hay has informed
Ambassador Choate that the United
States government does not intend to
wait upon the decision of the Durham
admiralty conrt relative to the seizure
of American flour, but wants England
to make an immediate declaration as D
whether or not she intends to release
or retain the captured -four.
BOERS REPULSED.
RENSBERG, Jan. 4 (Delsyed). The
Beers attacked the British left at
Colesberg today with force of 1000
men. The infantry artillery, which oc-
cupied an elevated position, repulsed
the enemy after some hard fighting.
The cavalry pursued the Beers in re-
trest, capturing nineteen aud inficting
fifty casualties. The general position
of the opposing forces about Colesberg
is unchanged.
BRITISH OFFICERS KILLED.
RENsBURG, Jan. 4 (Delayed.)-In
this MORNINGS engagement on the
British left, Major Harvey. OF the
Tenth Hussars. was killed and Major
Alexander wounded. A few officers
and men of other regiments were
wounded.
ENLISTING THE CRITICS.
LONDON, Jan. Sit is now charged
that the war Office is using the recruit
ing of the yeomsnry more for the pur-
pose of silencing adverse criticism than
with Ethe view of strengthening the
British army. Opponents of the gov
ernment say that while one-third of
.the force will be composed of first-class
fighting men, the other two-thirds will
be of inferior material. 1t is pointed
out that every recruit enlisted makes
one critic less of the war soff1ce's mis-
takes and brings his rela-
tives and friends into the ranks of gov
ernment adhererts.

Scenes In And About the Jail This

All this morning the vicinity of the

of Mexican men and women who, for
the most part, had been friends or &C
quaintances of one or the other of the
condemned men. Curious eyes watch
ed the coming aud going of the friends

porters, and of those others who had

tseemed as though he was determined
to kill some one of the officers before
he himself should die.
Then Sheriff Boone said to those as
sem bled in the jail.
"Gentlemeu, we have had an unto r.
tunate happening. This second prl
soner may make an attack on the man
who enters his cell. cannot afford to
have good citizens or my deputies muir

to do my duty. Ii IL
is necessary for me to
kill this man, I must do it. 1 shall
go in myself and take him out. II it
takes a bullet to do the work, that
bullet will be fired. 1 will give him
fair warning through an interpreter
that resistance means death.
"PARRA, HOLD UP YOUR HANDS!'
The precautions Of the sheriff were
effective. PARA held up his hands.
The cell door was thrown open, He
was seized, bound and conducted, step
ping with firm step to the scaffold.
1t WAS 81 o'clock when PARA took
his plsce on the scaffold. His face was
CHASTITY but. his eye was firm, an d,
with erect poise, head up, he looked
over the crowd with an unwavering
gaze.
"Put your feet together, Parra,"
said the sheriff, and he obeyed as
calmly as though posing for his pi c.
ture.
AS the sheriff bound his feet and
knees, Father Pinto stood by his sid
and whispered words of hope and con
ISOLATION into his ear.
The death warrant was read. PARA
listened calmly and seemed unmoved.
At the conclusion of the reading the
sheriff asked if he had anything to
say.
He answered in clear and ringing
tones and his speech at times was
almost impassioned.
ASKS PARDON OF ALL.
Gentlemen, tell you all goodbye.
There are .some whom 1 have Of
Tended. 1 trust that you will pardon
me. ask the pardon of all the world.
"There are those who have offended
me and I forgive them ALL"
Gentlemen, am going to die, but
L am going to die an innocent man.
deliver my soul and heart to God, in
Whose Presence 1 am He is the only
God.
"Gentlemen, goodbye again to all.
May God help you all. We have many
of US made mistakes and we are all
of US sinners.''
Then, with the priest murmuring
words of comfort and faith, he repeated
them in firm voice. He kissed the
rosary held out to him by the kindly
hand Of the priest, and calmly bent his
head that the sheriff might the more
easily adjust the cap of death.
Gentlemen, you will all be quiet"
said Sheriff Boone again. There was
a stiffness as of death. Again came the
levers sharp clang, the twang of the
rope and the dull thud as the body
reached its end, and PARA, like Flores
before him, hung lifeless.
The drop occurred at 2:O4 O'Clock.
1t was awfully, horribly effective. So
far was the fall and with such swiftness
did the bodydrop that not only was the
iugular vein ruptured, but the head
was almost severed from the body, and
the dark red blood bubbled from be-
meath the black cap aud ran down his
clothes and fell in ghastly rings and
pools on the steel floor below.
