LAWYERS WORKED.
For Nearly an Hour They stayed
Rhea's Execution.

Lincoln, Neb., July 10.-The hanging
of William Rhea, which was to have
taken place at 1890 o'clock to-day,
was postponed thirty minutes. pending
a decision of the Supreme Court on an
application for an injunction to pre-
vent the hanging. The action before
the court was brought in view of the
reprieve granted Rhea by Gov. Saw
age. The reprieve imposed hard la
bor' upon Rhea as punishment. The
attorneys for Rhea argued that
this imposition nullified the sentence
for hanging in that it serves two pun
ishments for the same crime.
The Supreme Court denied the APP
plication for an injunction, but eX-
pressed a willingness to go into con-
sultation regarding the granting of a
reprieve by the Governor, and Chief
Justice Sullivan of the Supreme Court
then went into consultation regarding
such action. The conference soon end
ed. Gov. Mickey refused to grant
further reprieve and ordered the sher-
if to proceed with the execution.
The attorneys for Rhea in a last eff
fort went before Judge Holmes of the
District Court in an endeavor to get
the lower court to prepare an injunc-
ton estopping the execution. Before the
injunction proceedings could be pre-
pared Gov. Mickey's order was carried
out, and Rhea was hanged at 1:21
o'clock.

that would break the records, however,
was not fulfilled. Thursdays record

At o'clock tonight the temperature
had fallen to SO degrees. degrees

noon when the heat was the most in
tense, the wind averaged about nine
miles an hour. About o'clock the
watchers at the weather bureau dis
covered that a thunderstorm was in
progress in the southeast. Meanwhile
the wind shifted and increased in We
locity to thirty-two miles an hour at
6 o'clock.
The storm, which scarcely touched
the city, had given the desired relief.
Between 5 and o'clock the tempera-
ture fell several degrees. The city had
been sweltering so long in the hot
wave, however, that it was hours be-
I fore the benefits began to reach the

from the waters edge to the top. Tugs
of all sorts and sizes threw water into
the fire. but this seemed to have little
effect The city firemen were badly
hampered in reaching the place.
The flames spread as rapidly as when
the North German Lloyd and Scandi-
navian piers burned three years ago.
There were three explosions, apparent
" caused by barrels of some inham-
mable material. After each the flames
spread very rapidly.
The heat was intense, and many fire
men dropped into the river for relief.
The slight wind carried the flames
toward the Tietjen and Lang dry
docks containing a score of vessels.
Those which could be gotten out were
tOwed away.
