HIS CRIME
Assassin CzOlgOsz Met Death
Without o Word Of
Repentace.
90 ELECTRIC VOLTS
Went Through the Body of the
MiserablcWretch and In About
Two Minutes He Was Dead

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 20.-At7: 49,
80 this morning Leon Czolgosz, mur-
derer of President Mckinley, paid
the penalty for his crime in the cleo
trio chair at Auburn state prison.
The prisoner made brief speech
in the chair. He said that he was
not sorry for what he had done, but
expressed regret that he had not
seen his father.
Czolgosz retired last night at 10
O'Clock and slept so soundly that
when Warden Mead went to the cell
shortly before 5 o'clock this morn
ing the guard inside had to shake
CZolgosz to awaken him.
AS he was being seated he looked
about the assembled witnesses with
a quiet. steady stare, and said:
Il killed the president because he
was an enemy of good people-of
working people. T"
His voice trembled slightly at
first but gained strength with each
word. He spoke in perfect English.
II am not sorry for my crime. !"
These were his words as theguards
hurried him into the chair. "A mo-
ment later, mumbling through his
half adjusted face straps he said
Il am awful sorry could not see
my father.
Warden Mead raised his hand and
at z: 12: 30 Electrician Davis turned
the switch which threw 1,700 volts
of electricity into Czolgosz living
body.
For 45 seconds the full current
was kept on, then slowly the cleo
triciau threw the switch back, re-
ducing the current volt by volt un-
til it was cut off entirely, just as it
reached that point, he threw the
lever tack again for two or three
seconds.
From the time the prisoner left
the cell until Warden Mead announc-
ed, Gentlemen, the prisoner is
dead" less than four minuets had
elapsed.
Upon the conclusion of the autopsy
Czolgosz body was placed in black
stained coffin and taken to the pris-
on cemetery, where a carboy of acid
was poured upon the body after it
had been lowered into the grave.
Physicians believe the body will be
entirely disintergrated within
twelve hours.

LOCAL ITEMS.

j.. B. Crebassa was over from
Baraga Thursday.
Mrs. Gordon Johnston is mum,
bered among the sick.
Miss Pearl Cole returned this
week from three months sojourn
at Green Bay, Wis.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Mckee were
happily surprised Thursday evening
by twelve young people from Chas-
sell, who came down on the after
noon train. The evening was joy
fully spent at Mr.. McKee's resi-
dence, the visitors returning on the
early morning train Friday.
Thursday night was Hallowe'e 'en,
but the event was celebrated very
tamely by the boys. With the
exception OF throwing a few hands
full of peas or rice at windows by
the small boys, no further pranks
were perpetrated. Officers were in
evidence all night.
A complete report of the schools
of L L'Anse township will appear in
our next issue. We regret that
lack OF space necessitates this delay
on our part, and we will try to pre-
vent further disappointments of
this kind, as these reports are in
teresting to patrons as well as to
pupils of our schools.
Presiding Elder Rev. G. M.
Thompson held the first quarterly
conference at L'Anse M. E. church
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Representatives from Pequaming,
Indian Mission and L'Anse were
present. The pastors salary was
estimated for the coming year,
church repairs were discussed and
other minute business transacted.
From now until the closing of the
deer season it will no doubt be a
common occurrence to have trains
from the east arrive from one to
three or four hours late. The
chief cause of the delay will be
the thrush of deer hunters from
the lower part of the state, with
the consequent big increase in the
amount of baggage to be handled
at the various small stations along
the line of the South Shore road.

BEING DISCUSSED.
A Non Partisan Ticket Containing
the Names Of Men Having tie
Best Interests Of Vinita at
Heart will probably be Named
Against de Gang Ticket.

Municipal politics is being dis
cussed largely, even at this early
date, by citizens who do not pro-
pose to permit the election result
ing in favor Of de gang by default.
Business men and property
owners, that IS majority OF them,
agree with The Chieftain tnat par
ty politics should not enter into the
fight for municipal control. They
realize that the government of the
city should be administered for the
best interests Of the people and
for the upbuilding Of VInlta, and
that gangs and combinations con-
trolled by one or more men should
have no place.
1t is generally understood that
the Hoolie Bell machine will
either nominate their boss or
name as candidate for the may
orally some man who is controlled
by him, borrowing or appropri-
ating for the purpose the title of
democratic" for the ticket they
put in the field.
Again some assert that Hoohe is
not tC be candidate except by
proxy as his wires are laid to grasp
the fat fee attached to the Office of
attorney for the nation to appear
when the Dawes commission make
the Freedman roll, in addition to
his candidacy for senator from
Delaware district.
In opposition to the gang citi-
zens, non-parlisan ticket will be
nominated and, ,as it will be named
by the men of Vinita who have the
best interests Of the city at heart,
and who have no ambition TO be
politicians for what there is in
it" it will, no doubt, be such =
ticket as to command the support
OF the unowned voters OF the city.
Several gentlemen are mention
ed for the mayoralty but it is too
early to even venture a guess as to
who will be named. Ed Shana
han is being importuned to permit
the use of his name. Attorneys
Davenport and Mellette are also
being spoken of. However, there
is no doubt but that, at the proper
time, the business and property
interests will combine in naming
a man who will not only be a pro-
gressive mayor, but one who will
give us a business administration
free from any fear of loot by 'de
gang
Inere is almost certain to be no
to the reelection of Bud
Ledbetter, as marshal. He has
been an efficient officer and under /
his administration Vinita has be.
come known as the most peacea-
Die, law-abiding city in the Indian
Territory. !
A large number of the friends Of s
9. n. Williamson are urging him
o consent to become a candidate
or recorder. Mr.. Williamson, if
nominated, would make a strong
ace and the gentleman is peculiar i
y qualified for the duties Of the
'fiice.

StLOuis, July 16-Sensational adnis-
sions have been made on the stand by
Samuel A. Gaylord, senior member Of
the firm of Gaylord, Blessing & Co..
which failed recently. Mr.. Gaylord,
who is one of the oldest stockholders in
the city, admitted at the hearing be-
fore Bankruptcy Referee Coles that the
firm had been practically insolvent for
two years and had been doing business
on other peoples money-on funds Sc
cured from local customers. Deals were
made in which no stock ever changed
hands, being a mere matter of book
keeping in which the firm never forgot
to charge up commissions, margins and
interest, were admitted by MIR Gaylord.
who also told of the employment of
relatives names and the use of an in
sane mans name in the accounts.
At the time of the failure they were
short $150,000 in bonds, face value, and
over 5000 shares of stocks in New
York. It was admitted by the witness
that the failure was due to their own
to win out and pay off their indebted
ness, estimated to have been something
near $500, 00O AS to the missing cOllat-
eral, left with the firm by customers,
attached to promissory notes, Mr.. Gay
lord admitted that all had been hypo-
theeated with banks as security for
loans to the firm There was no ap-
parent desire to conceal concerning the
involved transactions Of the firm on
he made were the more astonishing to
the creditors assembled, because of the
confidence and trust for many years
repOSed in Mr.. Gaylord.
