LAST LEGAL EXECUTION
Robert n. Lancaster Hanged September II, 1879,
Was the Last Man Legally Executed in indie
pendence COMMUNICATIVE of the Case
and LanCaster's Statement

The fact that Robert Crosby has
been sentenced To hang at Bates
vile the 25th of this month. re-
calls the fact that it has been a lit
tie over quarter of a century
since there was a legal execution
IN Independence county.
The last man legally hanged in
the county was Robert \. Lancas-
ter, whose execution took place at
Batesville the 18th OF September,
1879
The occurrence is distinctly re-
membered by many of the older
citizens, and the following account
OF the execution, taken from an
old copy of the North Arkansas
Pilot, VIII be read with interest by
those who remember the occur
renee:
Crowds of people began to come
in on yesterday to witness the ex-
ecution Of Lancaster today until
all the hotels were full, and num-
bers had to camp out, They con
tinued to come this morning until
it is estimated that 5000 people
were here to witness the scene.
THE NIGHT BEFORE.
The night before the execution
Lancaster retired at one O'Clock
and slept as soundly as if there
were nothing to disturb his repose.
and did not arouse until eight this
morning. He was perfectly cool
and was very cheerful when visit
ed by his spiritual advisers, Revs.
j. {. Brown and G. NJ. Hill.
At 1890 the crowd began to
gather around the jail. A few
minutes before leaving the jail he
went into Joe Kemp's cell and had
one of the most affecting CONVEX
satlons ever heard. He told Kemp
that he must prepare to meet his
fate That God had given him
grace to sustain him. -
AT one O'Clock he was carried
from the Jail, surrounded by 10
guards, his attorneys and spiritual
advisers accompanying him. The |
wagon arrived at the gallows at
the foot of Main street at 100.

TO KEEP 'EM ''STRAIGHT'
Chairman Girling Sends an Appeal to
Hennepin Voters.

Thomas H. Girling, chairman of the
ing the line laid down by James A. Mar
tin, who has sent out call to the Ram
sey county workers to "come and see
me.'' Mr.. Girling has sent out an
appeal to Hennepin county republicans,
asking them all to drop into headQuar-
tiers, and begging them to work for the
whole ticket, "from top to bottom
The letter has been mailed broad
cast, not only to precinct committee
men, but to the rank and file. Its
strongest argument is the patronage.
Mr.. Girling says:
Dear Sir: The campaign is on in Hen
nepin county. 1t is of vital Importance to
the republican party in this county, the
largest and richest county in the state,
that the entire republican ticket from top
to bottom be elected, thereby keeping the
patronage and the party organization in
the hands of our friends.
You have always been a loyal and in
fuential republican and the party needs
your services. We are using every effort
possible to. carry this county for our can
didates and we need your advice and as,
sistance.
When convenient, will you kindly drop
into the headquarters and in the mean
time urge upon all your friends the ne
cessity for supporting the entire republ1-
tan ticket from top to bottom. Yours
truly,
Thomas Fl. Girling, Chairman.

In odd numbered years. In support Of the
change Minnesota's experience Is being
cited. This state had annual elections
until 1886, when the change was made
to the general satisfaction. In Iowa the
defense is made that annual elections
cause people to be better educated on
public questions. The Council Bluffs Non
pareil quotes some Minnesota people on
this point. Governor Van SAINT says:
The change has been universally satisfactory,
and the matter of returning to the old system is
never even mentioned. There is no sentiment
whatsoever in our state to the effect that annual
elections would tend to keep the people better
posted on political matters. Biennial elections
result in saving of public funds.
Judge Nathan Kingsley of Austin says:
There is no sentiment here in favor of re-
turn to annual elections. 1t is all the other
way. The educational argument is sentimental.
Others who defend the biennial cleo
lions are J. w. Booth Of Winona, D. P.
Steward, clerk Of courts at Caledonia
G. J. Kirschner of Blue Earth City and
B. w. Woolstencroft of Slayton.

Morton tomorrow noon, and at Redwood
