porters and people who were curious to
see the negro executed. R.8W, Frost,

the passengers. When the train.
stopped sixteen mensswho had been se-
lected by the vigilance committee, en-
tered the train and demanded the pris-
oner from the sheriff. Their every acc
ton was marked by calmness and 9de-.
termination. The officer protested In
h name Of the law, and asked the
men to allow him I take his prisoner
to the county jail at Hugo. but his pro-
tests We're dtsregarded. One man car-
ried a rope. OF which had been formed

over the negro's neck. 1t was at first
announced that the negro was to be x

the father of the negro's victim, pro-
tested that such a death would be tos
easy, and 1t was finally decided to
leave the method OF death to the out
ragged father. He decided upon burn
ing at the stake.
The train was then allowed 10 pro-
coed, and at Lake Station about three
miles from Limon, and near the scene
OF the negroes crime, the party left the
train and began preparations for. the
deed OF vengeance.

Controller coler's speech at the open
Ing last week of the new auditorium OF
the $500, 600 American museum OF nat-
ural history In New York was devoted
largely to emphasizing the fact that 90
per cent of the children OF the city
leave the schools before they are Is
years old, because their parents can't
afford to send them any longer, and at.
the same time the schools of the higher
grades are crowded with the 10 per cent
remaining, a large part OF whom are
not worth the extra education, but get
1t because tAeir parents can afford 1t.
MI. Coler thinks the city ought to do
more for the vast majority. and that
high schools ana colleges supported by
the city should only be open to suci
pupils as prove themselves deserving
to work their way to tho top.
