and John II. Pierce The combination was
the result of series of conferences which
were held last night and this morning and
which were participated in by Yates, Dem
cen, Hamlin, Sherman and Pierce. The
agreement had not been consummated
when the convention met at 10 o'clock this
morning. and the Yates and Deneen people
forced recess until 2 d. m Then the
parties to the combination met and finally
agreed upon Deneen as the candidate
When the convention reconvened Yates,
Hamlin and Sherman withdrew their names
from consideration of the delegates. and
urged their friends to vote for Deneen.
When the seventy-ninth roll call was or
dred and Adams county led of with lone
vote for Yates and nineteen for Deneen''
the widest excitement prevailed. AS the
call proceeded il became evident that the
new combination in Illinois politics would
win, but the original Lowden men for the
most part remained firm and went to defeat
with him. When the call was completed
Lowden moved 10 make the nomination
unanimous. and Chairman Cannon declared
che motion carried
All of the pent-up enthusiasm of the del
egates manifested itself as Deneen came
to the platform and briefly thanked the

The convention then took up the nomina-
ton OF a candidate for Lieutenant Gov

Before the Execution.

With execution so near as to
be awaited by minutes, Peter
Neidermeier, Gustav Marx and
Harvey Vandine, the car barn
bandits, today, after practically a
sleepless night, prepared for the
end.
At first it was the intention of
Sheriff Barrett to hang the trio
simultaneously on one scaffold,
as the anarchists were executed
some years ago.
The plan however was abandon
ed mainly on account of Neider-
meters attempt at suicide which
left him in a weakened condition
and made it advisable that he be
hanged alone.
A large crowd assembled at the
Jail preceding the hour of exc
cution and sought admission but
was turned away.
Only the limited number as
provided by law were allowed in
the jail to witness the execution
of the bandits whose careers,
with Emil Roeski imprisoned for
life but a few days before, were
closed at practically the same
time.

A GOOD WORK.

The HERALD is proud of the
fact that the citizens and business
people have organized an associa-
ton along lines urged by this
paper for the past several weeks.
There is a great need for such an
organization, and great good can
be accomplished. 7 b e flow
of immigrants to East Texas Is
benefittipg Anderson county very
little at this time, simply from
the fact that no effort has been
made to locate these people here.
In adjoining counties, by a little
systematic effort, hundreds of in
dustrious farmers are being To-
Gated, and i'm more than one of
these counties more than 40 per
cent of the land is in cultivation,
thereby enriching both town and
county, and INCREASING land val
ues. Fully So per cent of Ander-
son county is in its virgin state,
and only awaits the husbandman
to become as productive as any
land in the world.
Now let every one join this
movement to get immigrants here,
that they may cause small farms
to spring up all over the county,
producing their wealth and max
ing happy homes for those who
toll.
The HERALD is rejoiced over
the splendid start made in the
work, and has strong faith in the
great, good work to follow.

CRIME
NEAR MANOR
Miss Sandberg's Murder Has Ter
ribly Aroused People.

Austin, Texas, April 21.-Onc
of the most liendish crimes that
has ever happened in Travis
county occurred on the Wilbarg-
er creek bridge, on the New
Sweden road, about half Il mile
east of the town of Manor. in this
county, about Is miles east of
Austin, on the Houston and Tex
us Central railway, when Miss
Lula Sandberg, Il beautiful 10
year-old daughter of Mrs. Sand
berg. was cruelty murdered after
a desperate attempt had been
made to commit an assault on her
person.
Strong evidence of guilt points
TO a negro who had been at Manor
a few days, but who now cannot
he found. The terrible crime
created great excitement among
the people of Manor and in ada
cent territory, and posses are now
securing the country in every di-
rcction for the fiend in human
form.
Miss Sandberg and her mother
lived on a farm about a mile and
a half east of Manor, and about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon Miss
Sandberg started to Manor in Il
buggy alone. A few minutes la
ter her cousin, Gustav Fritz,
started from the Sandberg home
in another buggy. He stopped on
the way to talk with the brother
of the dead girl, who has a farm
in that neighborhood, and this
made Miss Sandberg about 20
minutes ahead of him.

BELMONT MORGAN HILL have
delivered the New York delega-
ton TO the National democratic
convention to Judge Alton Park
er, the candidate without known
political opinions or convictions,
but can they deliver him New
York votes in the electoral college
with Tammany, the only real dem
ocratic organization i'm that State,
practically driven from the party.
1t is argued that Cleveland twice
carried New York state without
the enthusiastic support of Tam
many, but in both those instances
conditions existed that do not now
exist. In the first instance White
law Reid, against whom organized
labor of New York was waging
war, was the republican nominee
for vice president, and in the Sec
ond instance the Homestead riots
caused organized labor to extend
the democratic nominee for presi-
dent a practically unanimous sup
port. In both elections Cleve-
land carried that State by uncom-
tortably narrow margins. If there
is one thing that will commend
Parker to the laboring men of the
country it has never appeared in
print. To the contrary, the fact
that he is a creature of Belmont
Morgan-Hill ct al. will cause them
to regard him with suspicion and
distrust. In the opinion of the
Journal, William K. Hearst is the
only democrat who could get the
labor vote solidly against Roose-
welt, and the democrats can carry
neither New York, Illinois or In
diana without the labor vote. Ii
would be well if the democratic
party take practical view of con-
ditions before permitting their
national convention dominated by
the gang which controlled the
New York delegate convention

THE CAR BARN
BANDITS HANG
Three of Bloodiest Careers in
Criminal Annals Ended
On the Gallows.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 22.-Peter
Neidermeier, Gustav Marx and
Harvey Vandine, the notorious
car barn bandits and confessed
murderers -of eight men, were
hanged today. Neidermier was
the first to die and his manner of
death was unusual.
He was so weak as the result
of his attempt ut suicide that the
Jail guards were forced to carry
him to the scaffold.
He was then placed in the chair
and the drop was sprung ut 1875.
His body moved convulsively as
he hung and slowly strangled to
death.

History of Crimes.

The hanging of the youthful
car barn bandits followed closely
a period of crime of less than six
months. In that time eight muir
ders were committed, all atten-
dant upon robberieS or efforts to
escape arrest.
1t was during an attempt to
escape on stolen train after an
extraordinary battle in the swamps
of Northern Indiana, just east of
Chicago, that on November q of
last year the capture of the gang
was completed by the arrest of
Neidcrmcier, Vandine and Emil
Roeski, their associate, Marx,
having already been placed be-
hind the bars to await trial.
The specific offence for which
Vandine, Neidermcier and Marx
were tried and sentenced was the
murder of Frank Stewart. clerk
in the Chicago city railway ear
barns. during robbery there on
the morning of August 80. 1908.
James b. johnson, Il moterman,
was also killed. and two persons
were wounded. The bandits es-
capped after having secured $224O.
Roeski was not concerned in this
crime, but after the conviction of
his companions he was tried sep
arately for one of the murders in
which he was the principal ac-
cused.
