So far no effort has been made to prose-
cute the work and the doctor wants the
matter stirred up again so a. report can
be made before the next congress, when a
bill will be introduced for the benefit Of
the Red River valley settlers.

OFFICIALS HOLD BODY
CLEAR OF THE GROUND
Grewsome Scene at Hang
ing of a Murderer in
Pennsylvania

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. SO.-Peter
Lenousky. OF West Pittston, was
hanged in the county jail here for the
murder of Anthony sennick on Febru-
airy II. 1903. Several hundred specta-
tors witnessed the hanging, many Sc
curing admittance by the use Of forged
passes before the arrival of Sheriff
Jacobs.
Throughout his six months impris-
onment the accused boasted that he
would not hang and refused to see
callers or discuss the crime with which
he was charged. A few minutes be-
fore the walk TO the scaifold was
begun a change occurred and he re-
ceived a priest and became penitent.
The trap was sprung and 10 minutes
later Lenousky was pronounced dead.
When the body was taken from the
trap il was found that the rope had
stretched fully two feet and the feet
Of the doomed man rested on the
ground. This was followed by a scene
never before witnessed in this county.
Sheriff Jacobs summoned several
deputies to the scaffold and, gripping
the rope. they lifted the body clear OF
the ground and held 1t in this position
for several minutes. The gruesome
sight sent majority Of the spectators
hurrying from the jail. Physicians,
after the examination, said that his
neck had been broken and death was
almost instantaneous. The body was
sent to a medical college IN Philadel-
phia
