NeWland's Annexation Measure.
The motion for the reconsideration
of the vote by which Newland's joint

NEGRO CRIMINAL is LEGALLY
HANGED TODAY AT KAHoKA,
MISSOURI.
EXECUTION HURRIED
The Authorities, Fearing That a Mob
Would Break Down stockade, Hang
ed Clark at 2 p. M, Today Two
Hours Before Appointed Time.

Kahoka, Mo-, Nov. 25.-(SpeciaD -
Fearful lest mob should break down
the stockade about the gallows in the
jail yard and take matters away from
the officers of the law, the authorities
hastened the execution of Frank
Clark the negro who assaulted Miss
Ollie Hess just four months ago today
was hanged at O'Clock this after
noon. two hours before the time an
nounced for his execution.
Little Excitement.
Aside from the fact that the town
was full of curious people many of
them farmers who had driven miles
to be present, Kahoka did not seem
out of the ordinary this morning.
About the Jail where Clark was con-
fined all was quiet but the officers in
charge We're fearful that it was the
quiet preceding a storm and in order
to prevent any possible hitch in their
plans they decided early this morning
to hang Clark before the time appoint
ed for his execution. The execution
was carried out according to plans
with the single exception of the time
and there is no excitement this aft.
ernoon.
Professed Religion.
Three weeks ago Clark, who has
confessed that he is guilty of one Of
the most heinous cf11ies that has ever
disgraced the history of the state of
Missouri, expressed his faith in the
Catholic religion. About a week ago
he was baptized by Rev. Father Muck
erman, pastor of the Catholic church
of kahoka, who has daily visited him
as his spiritual adviser.
Grew Morose.
During the first few weeks after his
being sentenced Clark displayed much
bravado and repeatedly said that he
would not finch when the time came
to die but during the past week he
apparently began to realize the end
| that was in store for him and he grew
morose and taciturn. This afternoon,
when he was brought out to be hanged
however, he was calm and apparently
not unnerved and he went to his
death with a bravado worthy of a
better man.
