our advertising columns, the tax
roll of Winn Parish for the
present year has been filed. We
have already given a statement OF
the assessment and taxes as COM
pared with other years. But in
this article we desire to state a
few facts, not concerning the tax
roll. but how we came to find out
that the roll had been filed. THE
SENTINEL is the one and only
official journal of Winn parish and
all official printing must be done
through it and we keep up a
diligent search for official printing
so that official business might go
smoothly along without Interrupt

on this years big eleven, sustained a
fracture of his left forearm at football

as to break his arm just above the wrist.
This accident will keep Boren out of the

Jured in to-nightS practice. He has a.
badly sprained ankle that may prevent his

not line up with the cardinal eleven on
November their chances of winning will
be diminished perceptibly.
Al Lean, trainer and professional ath-
lete, has arrived on the campus and will
have charge of the rubbing of football
men during the days intervening before
the big game.
This is not Leans first work with STAN
ford athletes, he having been trainer to

noon. The complaint was sworn to by
Chief Of Police Kidward. Elliott's pre-
llminary examination was set for Novem-

The police have learned that Sherman
always carried revolver, as Elliott de-
clared he did. When officer Pickering ar
rived at the house at II North Market
street no revolver belonging to Sherman
could be found and the inmates denied
that he had one A search is now being
made to learn if Sherman had sold or
pawned his weapon previous to his mur-
der or If any of the inmates of the place
took the revolver and hid it.
Although Mrs. Sherman denied on the
stand that her husband forced her to lead
an immoral life, the police have discov-
cred the charge to be true. Sherman ar
ranged for his wife to enter the place

death had conducted negotiations himself
for her entering another house at 10 Orch

NELL DEFEATS
MIKE DONOVAN
Fight Goes the Limit
of Fifteen Full
Rounds.

Al Neill defeated Mike Donovan in If
teen rounds last night in the gymnasium
of the Acme Club, Oakland. Donovan,
who is credited with having fought draws
with Mysterious Billy Smith, Rube Ferns
and other celebrities of the ring, proved
an awkward boxer, who is capable of TAX
ing an awful beating without being put
out.
Neill landed every blow known to the
ring, but each round found his sadly dis
inquired opponent ready to fight when the
gong sent them together. Donovan was
bleeding profusely from cuts above each
eye. His seconds stopped the flow of blood
from the right eye, but Neill kept pepper
ing at the left, nearly binding Donovan
Ihe latter proved game to the core ana
seemed possessed of an iron face, which
shed the. rain of blows as a duck shakes
water from its back.
ing, and the men did lot of hitting with
one hand free. Neill had lead from the
start, which he never relnquished. He
went at Donovan when they came to-
gether in the first round, missing a vicious
right swing. He was more successful
with some left jabs to the head.
In the second round Neill continued jab-
bing with the left, Donovan seeming un-
able to get away from them. Donovan
was in distress at the end of the round,
two lefts to the body taking some of the
go out of him.
Neill tried a chop blow to the head in
the next round that worried Donovan.
In the seventh NelI punished the Rocn-
ester man severely, but the latter re-
manned firm on his legs. Neill tried re-
peatedly for a knockout, but failed.
So it went TO the end Neill's hardest
blows did not put Donovan down, nor did
he show any desire TO quit. The fight
went to Neill on points. The winner
fought a steady, careful battle from the
start, cutting out all fancy moves and
unnecessary frills.
The first preliminary ended abruptly in
the second round. 1t was between Kid
Brooks Of Chicago and Billy Bevert of
East Oakland. Brooks was knocked
down twice in the second round. The
second time he rested on one knee wait
ing for the timekeeper to tick off the
seconds The timekeeper said, Mine
you're out" just as Brooks was ready to
resume the fight. AS he was officially
out the explanations he endeavored to
make proved unavailing.
Harry Foley stopped Jim Green in a
round and a half. Foley is tall and thin,
with some skill as a boxer. Green could
not fight and was battered all over the
and was only punching bag for Foley.
In the second round some Of Green's S
wild swings landed and bothered his op-
ponent Foley finally knocked Green
down and his seconds threw UP the
sponge to end the comedy.
A large crowd of sporting men went
over from this city. Among them was
Billy Woods Corbett's old training part
ner at Carson
IT was announced that Kid Lavigne and
Tim Hegarty, the Australian champion,
would fight before the Acme Club on De-

A UBURN, n. Y, Oct. 2s-"I killed
~ the President because he was an
IN enemy Of the good people-of the
Il N good working people. I am not
sorry for my crime"
With these words Leon Czolgosz, the
assassin Of President Mckinley, walked
TO the death chair in the prison this morn
ing. A moment before the current ended
his miserable life he mumbled through the
half-adjusted face straps:
Il am awfully sorry 1 could not see my
father"
It was Just exactly 7:n o'clock when
the assassin crossed the threshold of the
death chamber. But a minute had elapsed
and he had just finished the last state
ment when the strapping was completed
and the guards stepped back. Warden
Mead raised his hand and at 7:13 Elec-
trician Davis turned the switch that
threw loo volts of electricity into the liv-
ing body. The rush of the current threw
the body so hard against the straps that
they creaked perceptibly. The hands
clinched suddenly and the whole attitude
was one Of extreme tension. For forty
i've seconds the full current was kept
on and then slowly the electrician threw
the switch back, reducing the current volt
by volt until IL was cut off entirely.
Then Just as it had reached that point
he threw the lever back again for two
or three, seconds. The body, which had
collapsed as the current was reduced,
stiffeneo UP again against the straps.
When il was turned off again DR.. Mac
Donald stepped to the chair and put his
hand over the heart. He said he felt no
pulsation, but suggested that the current
be turned on for a few seconds again.
Once more the body became rigid. AT
7:15 the current was turned off for good.
Announcement of Death.
From the time Czolgosz had left his cell un-
I'll the full penalty paid less than four
minutes had elapsed. The physicians present
used the stethOscope and other tests to de-
termine II any life remained and at 1:l7 the
Warden raising HIS hand, announced, Gen
, tlernen, the prisoner is dead"
The wi illnesses filed from the chamber, many
of them visibly affected. and the body was
taken from the chair and laid the operat-
ing table.
The Rev. CordeIlo Herrick. chaplain Of the
prison, was IN the death chamber ready for
any call that might be made for his services.
Ee was rot wanted by the prisoner. however.
The clothing and personal effects Of the pris-
oner were burned under direction OF Warden
Mead shortly after the execution.
When the body Of CzolgosZ had been removed
from the room where he killed TO the
autopsy table. Auburn Prison returned to the
routine OF its ordinary life. The prisoners who
had beer kept locked in their cells were re-
leased al 7:45 o'clock and prison work was re-
sumed at once. There was no excitement
