Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Oxford, Sept. "a. Will Mathis,
white, and Orlando Lester, col. were
hanged one mile south of here today
for the murder of John and Hugh
Montgomery, deputy United States
marshals. 10000 people weres1n town
and seven thousand Witnessed the
execution, which was carried
through without hitch.
The condemned men both made
speeches on the gallows, contradict
ing the stories of each other, concern
ing the details of the killing. The
only points on which they agreed
fully was that the fatal shots were
fired by Lester.
Prayer was offered by Rev. n. w.
p. Bacon and Rev A. Williams, and
after the black caps were adjusted,
sheriff Harklns sprung the trap and
the two men went to eternity togeth-
er. Mathis lived fourteen minutes
and Lester half a minute longer.
The crowd was noisy but no scenes
of violence occurred.
Both prisoners spent a good night
and slept soundly. They arose early
this morning and dressed for the ex-
ecutiOn.
Mathis was visited i'll his cell by
district attorney Montgomery and he
related the story of the killing of a
negro named Johnson by Whit
Owens, Bruce Owens and Charley
Owens, tragedy hitherto unknown.
Both men talked freely. Lester
admitted that he fired both shots re-
sultlng in the death of the MOntgOm-
erys and was corroborated by Mat
this.
Lester declared Bill Jackson innO-
cent of any complicaty and express
ed q wish that he be released from
penitentiary. Wife of Mathis was
not permitted to see him this morn
ing owing TO fear of nervous break
down. Both prisoners thanked the
taller for courteous treatment and
said they were recOnciled to their
fate. Ten thousand people witnessed
execution, the majority being
farmers from surrounding counties.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
The crime for which Will Mathis
and Orlando Lester paid the death
penalty today was the murder of
John and Hugh Montgomery, United
States marshals, and the crime and
subsequent events have attracted
more attention than any similar af-
fair that has occurred in Mississippi
in recent years, not even excepting
the tragedy for which Ashley Cooke
and Tom Lauderdale paid the death
penalty at Greenville several weeks
ago.
The murder was committed in a
wild and lawless section of Lafayette
county on the night of the 10th OF
November last year, and Mathis and
Lester were two of the principal par.
elephants in the bloody deed Whit
Owens, the father-in-Iaw of VIII
Matthis, is now under death sentenc,
for being an accomplice. and vii
jackson is serving life sentence il
the penitentiary for his share in th,
crime.
Mathis lived about twelve mile
from Oxford in a section that ba
long been noted for its lawlessnes
and many mysterious crimes in tn
neighborhood have demanded atten
tion from both state and federal an
thorities for several years. Clustere,
about within radius of five or si
miles were number of hardene

On Saturday night last, word
was brought to officer Paul Hebert
that one, Frank Smith colored, n
escaped prisoner wanted for vari-
ous crimes, was at a saloon back
of town. Mr.. Hebert promptly re-
paired to the place and saw the
party who bore such q strong re-
semblance to the party wanted that
the officer proceeded to arrest him,
calling upon him to surrender and
throw up his hands to which he
paid no attention. On the contra
ry, he became very abusive to the
officer and attempted to shoot,
whence Mr.. Hebert fred shot at
him, which took effect near the
heart, killing him instantly. Mr..
Hebert Immediately reported to
the Sheriff and the matter will be
looked into. It turns out that the
party was Frank Metchslf instead
of Frank Smith, the resemblance
being so perfect that anyone might
be mistaken, The affair is unfor-
tunate and to be regretted, but no
blame attaches to Mr.. Hebert who
was manifestly in the discharge of
his duty as an officer and within
the purview of che lawn. l. En-

School Land Question.

case of W. B. Tolleson against

sioner, to compel the latter to
award relator certain sections of
school land within the absolute
lease district, which had been
awarded to other parties
The court appears to be deliber-

was submitted over a month ago,
though refused rather promptly
soon after it was presented; but

stated the case on its docket on

fusal in the first instance, the

evident that the questions in

The principal issue tests the
validity of a sale of school land
made during the life of lease in
the absolute lease district, it be-
ing charged by Tolleson that he
is entitled to the land because
one of his applications to pur-
chase was filed after the termi-

another party having been made
before the expiration of the lease.
This is an important question, as
