DEATH OF E. N. CARTER.
State Agent of the Fidelity Saw
ings Association Dies Very
Suddenly in Denver.

NJ. o. Delaplain, Of Delaplain & Cros-
by, received this morning the very sad
announcement that Edwin N. Carter,
had died last Saturday Nov. 10th, in
Denver, his body being shipped to his
old home at Wichita Kansas, for inter
ment.
The deceased was tate agent of the
Fidelity Savings association, OF which
Messrs. Delaplain & Crosby are agents,
and in the course OF his work in the
state, he had frequently remained in
this city for several weeks at a time,
making large circle OF friends and ac-
quaintances, who will hear of his sudden
death with great deal OF sadness.
The deceased was one OF the most gen
ial and kind hearted men that the writer
has ever had the pleasure OF meeting.
He was thoroughly business but in the
transaction OF same he brought one Of
the most genial temperaments to bear
upon all his work that it was a genuine
pleasure to do business with him.
he WAS finely educated, having taken
the medical course at Harvard univer-
sity and from travel and association he
was q most companionable man. His
work took him to all parts of the state
and eve ywhere what he said was as
good as bond, as far as the perform
ance OF any promise went
The Fidelity Savings association has
lost man among men in the death Of
Edwin N. Carter and all the local agents
throughout the state, feel that they have
suffered personal loss by his untimely
death.
The Wichita Eagle, in speaking Of his
death, pays the following tribute to his
character, as part of an obituary notice
occupying over column Of matter:
ED Carter, for thus familiarly was he
known everywhere, had a host of friends
and grief stricken mother. Within a
splendid physique, manly and noble, he
bore heart equally large and warmly
beating for all. Genial and of sunny
knew no enemy Toward his mother
and devoted wife his tender solicitude
and gentle affection was beautiful and
unceasing. In that manly handsome
form beat woman's heart and no one
knew him but to respect and admire.
His sudden passing away with no fare
well word or parting caress adds to the
poignancy of the inconsolable grief Of
loved ones and cherished friends. His
mother, Mrs. L. S. Carter, whom every
one in Wichita knows personally, is by
the death OF her only son, left absolutely
alone in the world as far as kinsfolk is
concerned, all having long ago passed
ava Just twenty years ago the 25th
OF last month, another son, Mr.. George
Carter. also died very suddenly in the
same state, at Alamosa, Colorado, and
was buried here. The interment OF Mr.
Ed Carter will take place in Maple
Grove cemetery, beside his brother
George, in a beautiful spot just opposite
the Soldiers monument. To the wife
and mother hundreds OF sympathizing
friends extend the warmest heartfelt
coudolsnce with the benediction inspired
by a common sorrow that he who tenn
pers the wind to the shorn lamb may
sooth and solace in this their hour OF
acutest woe.'

naming chain would give way.
If this had occurred the partly burne
human being would have dashed among
them with burning garments. Not many
would have cared to capture him again.
But the chain held fast The body was
then in such position that only the legs
were in the fire. The cries of the wretch
were redoubed and he again begged to
be shot. Some wanted to throw him
over into the fire; others tried to throw
oil upon him. Boards were carried and
large pile made over the PROSTATE
body. They were soon ignited and the
terrible heat and lack of air quickly rem
dered tho victim unconscious, bringing
death few moments later.
This terrible ceremoney out upon the
rolling prairie concluded the second
tragedy upon that spot the terrible
avenging of the nrst.
Throughout the entire affair but litt'e 9
was said. As they had calmly prepared
for the vengeance, 80 the people OF the
eastern part Of the state carried out their
plans cody and deliberately. There was
not hitch in the entire proceeding.
Not a weapon was drawn. There WAS no
angry discussion.
After the fire burned low they told
each other good night and went home.
They did not stop to discuss the affair.
The train bearing the negro in custody
OF Sheriff Freeman and his deputies ar
rived in Limon at 3:45 p. IN. The other
cars were crowded with reporters and
people who were anxious to see the mur-
derer executed. R. W. Frost, the mur.
oered girls father, was on the train.
When the train stopped sixteen mep
who had been selected by the vigilance
committee entered the trsin and demand
ed the prisoner from the sheriff. Their
every act was marked by calmness and
determination. The officer protested in
tho name Of the law and asked the men
to allow him to take his prisoner to the
county jail at Hugo, but his protests
were disregarded. One man carried a
rope. of which had been fsrmed hang
mans Use. This was slipped over the
negros neck 1t was at first announced
that the negro would be executed by
hanging. Many, including the father OF
tho murdered girl, protested that such a
death would be too easy and it was fin
ally decided to leave the method Of death
to the outraged father. He decided up
on burning at the stake. The train was
then allowed to proceed, and at Lake
station, about three miles from Limon,
and near the scene of the crime, the
party left the train and began to prepare
for the deed of vengeance.
Suggestions OF mu utilation before burn
ing were made but Mr.. Frost declared
against it.
Wagons were dispatched for wood and
upon their return a score OF men assisted
in preparing for the fire. When at last
preparations were completed further
delay was made because it was known
many were en- raute from Hugo and
other parts OF tho county to take part in
the affair. 1t had been announced that
$50 should be the hour for starting the
dre, bui it was nearly an hour later when
tho word WAS at last given.

At the Stake Preston Porter, the
Negro, Is Burned for the Ravish-
ment and Murder of Little
Louise f rOst of ljm0n.

Limon, Nov. 16-Chained to railroad
rail, set firmly in the ground on the ex-
act spot whers his fendish crime WAS
committed, Preston Porter, jr., or as he
was familiarly known, John Porter, this
evening paid terrible penalty for his
awful decd
1t was 6:23 o'clock when the father Of
the murdered gill touched the match to
the fuel which had been piled around
the negro and twenty minutes later a
last convulsive shudder told that life
was extinct. WHAT agony the doomed
boy suffered while the flames shrivsled
up his flesh could only be guessed from
the terrible contortons Of his ia :e and
the cries which he gave from time to
time.
The exscutioners who numbered about
800 citlzens OF Lincoln county, had not
tho least sem mblance Of the ordinary mob.
Their every act was deliberate and dur
ing all the preparations As we'll as
throughout the sufferings OF the negro
hardly an unnecessary word was spoken.
Grimly they stood in circle about the
fire until the body was entirely con-
sumed and then quietly they took their
way back to Limon from whence they
departed for their homes shortly after
ward.
The boy did not seem to realize the
awful punishment that he WAS destined
to undergo. AS he had exhibited lndif-
ference to the enormity OF hir crime, 30
he seemed to lack all understanding OF
its terrible consequences.
For more than an hour while prepara-
tions for his execution were in progress
he stood mute and sullen among the
avengers. When everything was ready
he walked to the stake with firm step,
pausing as he reached the circle Of un-
broken boards to kneel in prayer. He
was allowed to take his time. He arose
and placed his back to the iron stake
and half a dozen men wound chains
about his body and limbs.
Kerosene oil was applied to the wood
and after a brief pause Richard w
Frost, tho father Of little Louise Frost,
whose cruelty mutilated body was foun d
ono week ago on that very spot, touched
tho match to the combustibles.
For a moment but little Pickering
flame arose, then the oil blazed up,
sparks few into the air and the wood be-
gan to crackle. Almost instantly the
negro's trousers caught fire. Even
though the flesh must have been scorch-
ed he did not utter q sound.
The flames crept slowly upward on his
clothing, tho sparks flew upward in
cloud OF pale smoke. Porter turned his
head and a frightful expression changed
his face. With sudden convulsive
tugging he stretched his hand as far
from the rapidly Increasing flames as
possible and uttered a cry Of pain.
"Ohl Ny God let me 60; I've got some
thing moro to toll you. Please lot me CO.
Oh! My God, my God!"
In terrible screeches these words, the
first he had uttered aloud, came from
the negro.
