WIN IANIER HANGED.
Victims Head Completely Severed
Prom Body-Had Twice Is
capped From Prison.

ABERDEEN, MISS, March l9.-After
the fourth sentence by the courts for
the same offense, William Lanier was
hanged here to-day 10 the presence Of
5000 people. He assembled the gal
lows with steady step and in a short
speech warned young men against
making or drinking whiskey and yio-
lation Of any of the laws. The drop
was 6 feet, and when the trap was
sprung the fall broke Lanier'S neck,
completely severing his head from the
body. The head fell on n side, the
body in another direction, while the
moose rebounded to the floor of the
scaffold. The attending physicians
accounted for this catastrophe by his
long confinement in prison and the
further fact that he was OF ileshy
build with small bones. 1t would
likely have occurred with a shorter
fall. Having escaped jail twice, be
was hopeful and confident Of somt
proyidential deliyerance, but during
the last few days lost spirit and be
came very respondent.
The crime for which Lanier paiC
the penalty with his life was the mur
der OF two young men, Walter ant
Homer Bittle, in the western portion
OF Monroe county, in August, 1900. l
was the tragic sequel to a bit ofnelgh
borhood gossip, laid at the hands o
the two boys, Lanier IA the ag
gressor and was accompanied by hi
father, J. S. Lanier, and two broth
ers, JET and George. In the encounte
Lanier vas wounded, after which b
shot and killed Walter Bittle, iron
: whom his wound had been received
: and turned and shot the other Brittle

KILLED IN WYOMING.
Fremont Man Supposed Victim Of
Stockmen's Feud.


FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 1S.-News oi
the killing of Charles Osterman, a
young man aged about thirty years
who was born in Fremont and lived
here until he grew up, near Rock
Springs, Wyo. was received in this
city. 1t came by way of Nickerson
where relatives of Mr.. Ostermans
wife live.
The information was embodied in a
telegram and did not give details OF
the manner in which he came to his
death, but it is conjectured that he
was shot in some of the trouble that
has been in progress between the cat
tlemen and sheepmen of Wyoming.
Osterman was the owner of a sheep
ranch and had been in the business
of raising those animals for some
years. His father, Charles Osterman,
ST., lives at Central City, Neb. He
was formerly member of Fremont
partnership in the commission busi-
ness. Only three months ago the
young man married Miss Bessie Ha-
vens, niece OF Platte and M. Havens
of this city, at Nickerson, and the cou-
pie went west to live on the groom's
ranch.
