Meanwhile the news OF the negro's arrest
and confession spread rapidly over the sur
rounding country, and to-day's incoming
trains brought hundreds OF people into the
city to witness the execution. The crowds
became so great that at midday the main
street Of the town was ordered cleared. and
the announcement was made that IL had
been decided to burn Clark at $50 o'clock In
the afternoon. This statement caused much
excitement, and surging crowds began TO
gather about the place selected for the en-
actment OF the awful tragedy.
At 2 o'clock pine faggots and larger pieces
of wood were carefully laid about an iron
rod. which was driven deep into the ground.
and half an hour later IL was announced
that all was in readiness.

city. Faggots and wood had been piled high
around the stake and the negro was Sc
curely fastened to the iron rod.
Clark was asked IL he cared to make a
statement He again said that he deserved
the fate prepared for him. and asked that
a letter be delivered to his mother and
brother. He appealed to his brother to
raise MS cniIoren properly, admoniShfng
them TO beware of evil company.
Finally. all was in readiness and the word
was given TO fire the funeral pile. The hus-
band and brother OF Clark's victim stepped
forward and applied the torches. and in a
moment the flames leaped upward. envelop-
ing the trembling negro in smoke and fire.
The clothing of the doomed man was soon
ignited. and as the flames grew hotter the
skin began to parch-
The negro moaned piteous,y at this juno
ture. and the agonizing look upon his face
told of the awful torture he was undergo
ing. Finally his head fell forward upon
his breast. and in few minutes all was
over The flames were fed by the crowd
until the body was burned to a crisp. Then
the gathering dispersed and the town soon
assumed its normal condition.
OPPOSED BURNING.
The committee OF twelve and many of the
representative citizens OF Corinth vigorous
ly opposed burning the negro, and argued
that he should be hanged.

sent to this proposition. and insisted that
Clark be burned. More than 5000 persons

making his self-laudatory campaign for

pointed out. the only way In which they can

IL every property owner followed the ex-
ample which Is set by Professor White.
there would be hope for free text books
II men of property did not now dodge their
taxes, free text books would be assured.
There is now on file with the Clerk of the
Linn County Court. q statement of what
purports to be the total taxable personal
property of Professor White, now Superin-
tendent OF the Brookfield schools He
gives as the aggregate amount of all solvent
notes secured by mortgages or deeds of
trust the sum of sos and pays taxes there
on.
All OF his personal property should have
been returned for taxation purposes to the
Linn County Assessor. There are on file
IN Wayne County eight deeds of trust upon
real estate. the security being such as to
make the notes worth 100 cents on the dol
lar. The aggregate value Of these notes
Deducting the value of notes upon which
Professor White pays taxes from those up
on which the county receives nothing there
IS a difference OF $50. He does not seem
TO be doing much to supply free text books,
or even support the schools.
