CAUSBY PA Us
THE PENALTY.
Murderer Of Sheriff Mor5an Swings lnto
q Eternity in an Unconscious
Condition.

in ilr' Robert CausbS Hanged at
oiv ltesville last Friday morning at
.43. The condemnedsman was
an a state of nervous collapse,
land was unconscious when swung
unto eternity. His almost lifeless
form was carried to the place OF
Execution and supported while
1the moose was placed around his
fneck. 1t is claimed by many
lat he would have been dead
Efefese the close of day.
.yl4s..dsby was not yet twenty
two years of age, and to conteni-
,glate over his end is indeed a sad
reflection.
The day of the execution the
Batesville Daily Bee concluded
| ali article as follows:
The condemned man was en-
tirely unconscious of what was
taking place and had to be car
ried to the place of execution and
supported while the rope was
adjusted. That his condition was
such and that he had to be ex-
ecuted in such state of mind is
horrible aud makes the best part
of human nature recOil. We
have not the heart to go into The
details, and we trust hat our
readers have no desire or taste
for such dark shadows and hor-
rors that come to humanity.
Causby is dead, and we wish to
see the mantle of charity fall
over the poor and wretched
mans life. He had suffered
much and almost alone and felt
the weight of condemnation OF
the law and public sentiment.
But he was penitent. He
deeply regretted the deed and had
oftc;aa sIated spst he felt truly
sorry TOR Mrs. Morgan and her
children. There was some good
in him, While he forfeited his
life early he knew where it began
and had a deep desire to warn
boys to shun bad company and
never be guilty of carrying a
pistol. 1t was his desire to pre-
pare a statement for the public.
That statement was to be an ap'
peal to boys to shun bad company
and to live honest, upright lives,
and that he had it in his heart to
do this when the shadow of the
gallows was before him is some
proof that he was not all bad.
Environments made him what he
was, and it is hoped that the
mantle of charity and forgetful-
ness may 60 down over the hor-
rors of the scene, and that all
boys may remember that "the
way of the transgressor is hard"
and the power of the law is ter

CAMP 0ROWAY OF 1904
West Virginia Invaded by
District National Guard.
NOW UNDER CANVAS

FIELDS OF THE CIVIL WAR.
Delightfully."- Camped on Bolivar
Heights Near Harper's Ferry

Special From a Staff Correspondent.
CAMP ORDWAY. HARPER'S FERRY,
w. Va. August Camp Ordway of 1904 is
a reality. The troops of the National Guar
of the District of Columbia have invaded
the state of West Virginia and are now
under canvas on Bolivar Heights, above
the town famous historically as the scene
of the John Brown raid. Only a few hun
dred Yards distant and in plain view from
the city of canvas is the small red brick
structure that was pressed into service as
John Browns fort during those exciting
days that preceded the civil war. The fort
originally stood close by the railroad sta
ton at Harper's Ferry, but it was re-
moved to Chicago to be exhibited at the
Columbian exposition. On being returned
here after the close of the worlds fair of
1888 1t was placed on the present site,
about two miles from its original location
monument now marks the spot the fort
occupied at the time of the memorable raid
Historic Tenting Ground.
The citizen soldiery of the national capital
have pitched their tents on the very ground
that was used for drill purposes by a large
body of the troops that were trained for
and engaged In many important conflicts
In this vicinity during the early SOS. The
scenery Is magnificent The camp is on
rolling ground, and there is plenty of room
for everybody. Gen. Harries and his staff
are housed on a knoll that overlooks the
entire Enclosure.
When the section of the special train
transporting the commanding general and
the general staff, the I'd Regiment and the
Ambulance Corps came to stop at Har-
per's Ferry. after quick and pleasant ride
of less than two hours from Washington,
everything was in readiness at the station.
The officers horses. that had come up at
an early hour by rail, were waiting saddled
The troops quickly disembarked and were
ready for the march to camp. And right
there what surprise was in store for the
guardsmen. In heavy marching order the
column moved off, and after covering about
fifty yards. executed Column right"

to them before they had gone very far was
almost perpendicular in places. On, on,
fully a league onward, they believed,
they trudged. A fine spring of crystal wa
ter away up on the mountain side helped
nightly those of the weary travellers who
were permitted to pause there. Finally
Harpers Ferry merged into the village of
Bolivar. Still the march proceeded
At last the camp site was reached, and
after hating 1t is safe to assume that not
one member of the brigade was willing to
accept as true the statement that the camp

railroad station at Harper's Ferry" Those
members of the advance guard who have
been here for several days supply cause for
hope by declaring that the journey seems
shorter each successive time the trip is
made.
Camp Attracts Attention.
For nearly the entire distance from the
place of debarkation to the camp the thor
oughfare is lined with houses, and, natu-
rally, those who reside in these homes
were on the porticos and at the windows to
watch the soldiers march past The pres
ence of the troops is a great thing for Har-
per's Ferry and Bolivar. There are a great
many well-patronized summer resorts and
hostelries in this neghborhood, and the
presence of large body of uniformed men
tain to add largel. Ito the gayety Of the
community. If not of nations, in this par
ticular instance.
At several points along the very altitu-
dinous line of march the national colors
were displayed in honor of the guardsmen,
and in the front yard of one residence the
children had made a shelter tent of large
American flag.
Business-Like Organization.
Washington's brigade of organized mill
tia is a business-like organization. AS
soon as the respective commands reached
the camp Enclosure they proceeded to the
section allotted to each and got busy The
engineer detachment of Company c, LIST
Regiment. commanded by Capt. E. H.
Grove. established the necessary lines, and
the Sibley and other tents were erected in
something less than jiffy. Luncheon, If
the use of that word in connection with q
military encampment is permissible, was
provided at midday.
The meal helped along immensely. and

that they were not exposed to the heat of
the sun.
Many EXPLANATIONS of delight were heard
when the boys saw the situation of the
camp and noted the beauty of the scenery.
The hills of Virginia, at the base of which
runs the Shenandoah, form a background
for the camp, and off to the east the Po-
tomac takes its rocky course between
thickly wooded hills Visitors began to
arrive almost as soon as the troops, and
a large party of ladies from the town made
tour of inspection as soon as the tents
were up.
