had taken him for an anarchist had
kept an eye on him, as he said he
would. and after seeing him climb the
fence had hurried or and got his sons,
Jim and Bill, to go back with him.
They found Mr.. Bowser lying in the
meadow on his stomach, and the first
thing he knew Of their presence they
had laid hands on him and were wal
looping him about with uncailed for
energy. He tried to explain, but the
farmer interrupted him with:

Mr.. Bowser fought back, but three to

lar off his coat, tore all the buttons of
his rest and rolled him over and over
and threw him ore the fence, and
when he had gathered himself up he
looked like a tramp who had been car
ried across the country by a cyclone.
The three men sat on the fence and
watched until he had limped out Of

SAW THE HANGING
Officer John Austin Returned
Today From Lexington
Says Whitney and O'Brien Had 10th.
ing to Say and Died Game.

Officer John Austin returned tas
morning from Lexington, Ky, where
he went TO take boy from here &,
the reform school. He yesterday
morning witnessed there the hanging
of Whitney and O'Brien, the youth
full murderers OF Mr.. ABB Chinn, and
says they both died as game rs anyone
he ever beard Of. Officer Austin WAS
admitted TO the enclosure through the
courtesy OF. Lexington ofiioers and says
a large crowd witnessed the execu-
ton. Many swarmed on the hoosetops
and in trees, and the grewsorse occur
renee seemed 80 have attracted people
for miles around.
Officer Austin was one OF these who
helped control brother of O'Brien
who was there and acted ike a wild
man. He was not admitted to the Jail
yard and it was feared would attempt
to do harm to some one, espec ally
Governor Beekham, who happened to
be passing through Lexington. hence
he was kept arrested and kept in Gus
tody until about 10 O'Clock. He told
Officer Austin that the hanging was
nothing but murder, as the boys were
innocent lie lives in p arts, Ky, And
works for the l.. and n. railroad
there.
IL was fully expected that one or
the other would make some statemeni
on the scsifold, but neither did. Both
claimed to the last that the other fired
the fatal shot. which leads some Of
the officers TO think that in the confI-
sion and darkness n nbaoly they real.
ly did not know which shot Mr.. Chinn.
O'Brien's fall almost pulled his neck
in two, aad when cut down his feet
were touching the ground.
Officer Austin brought bsck with
him q number of souvenirs, among
them a section OF the rope useds at the
hanging.

Zoo Should Get One to Amuse the

Il wish we had a crocodile plover

much annoyed by a parasitic insect
that enters his mouth and breeds
there, in crannies that he cant get
at The plover feeds on this insect
and will go into a crocodile's mouth
fearlessly after it. The crocodile
seems to recognize instinctively that
the bird is his friend. He lets it hop
in and out of his mouth without
molestation. The children would be
much amused to see such a sight. We
ought to get a crocodile plover by all
means"
