How owl. Catch Chickens.


When l was a chunk Of a boy I shot
q horned owl. the spread Of whose
wings was four and one-half feet, and,
to the surprise of the boy who had car
ried it for several miles, the weight
was only four pounds. They were
rather numerous at that time in that
section Of the country and were trou-
blesome about carrying of chickens,
which mostly roasted in apple trees
about the farm buildings. The belief
that they could carry away full grown
hens was a common one. 1t was also
commonly believed that an owl never
picked a chicken of the roost, but.
alighting on the limb, crowded the
chicken off and as it few toward the
ground caught it on the wing.-Forest

In ".Aubrey's Lives" this quaint story
ls told Of Lord. Bacon: Ills lordship,
being in the garden looking on fishers
as they were throwing theirnetts, asked
them what they would take for their
catch. They answered so much. His
lordship would offer them not more,
but so much. They drew up their nett.
and in IT were only two or three little

YESTERDAYS
HANGING
CONTINUED from page 81

(COuIluuCu lTOu page o.
The confession of yesterday shows
other imprisonments.
Sevener, or Sedner, as the prison
officials know him, served term in
San Quentin for robbery. His picture
is held at the Nevada prison and also
Identification marks. The commiss-
ion of the crime for which he was
executed took place within thirty days
after his release from San Quentin.
His real name was never divulged
even to the Nevada authorities.
Linderman also had a record in the
California Jails. He was sentenced
from San Joaquin county for burg
larry and served a term at Folsom.
He had also been the inmate of re-
formatory. The Nevada prison holds
this record together with photographs
from Folsom.
Roberts or Reidt not so much was
known Of He came to this section
and begged aims with manufactured
sores on his arms. From here he
was arrested in Tonopah for petty
larceny and also arrested in Reno
for a vagrant.
Confessions.
While the pubic was not given
the private confessions of the four
dead men yet they certainly divulg ed
their part of the crime for which
they were executed to their spiritual
advisers. Rev. Darneil1 upon being
questioned stated that the men had
unbosomed themselves. AS to the ex-
tent of their crimes and the men who
fired the fatal shots this will remain
with the Dominic. The dead men
also gave their family names and
residences to the minister, but this
along with the other secrets Of men
condemned to death will be kept as
secret and loyal obligations by the
confessor Of the four Roberts Is
probably the only one who did not
give up statements of other crimes
committed during their lives.
The Dominic had severe strain
during the past few days as he wa:
with the men most of the time AM
ministered in every way possible
The work that he had to perform
yesterday was enough to unnerve tht
good man, and he stood in the bes
light and his great worth was shown
in the trying hour.
The Last Night.
The last night that the condemnee
men spent on earth was trying one
Sevner did not sleep a wink. blu
paced the floor and was sick ma,
German was also restless and passes
bad night Linderman managed t
sleep about four hours, while Robert
put in regular night repose of min
hours. His APPETITE in the mornin
was excellent and he called for frie

oysters, which he received. The
others were content with toast AMI
coffee and small portion at that.
German and Sevener showed the
effect of the strain and were nervous
wrecks when they were lead to the
scaffold
Splendid Management.
The prison authorities cannot be
too strongly praised for the excellent
management that was displayed. War
den Considine had every detail in
hand, while Captain Cavanaugh AMI
the others who had the ordeal to go
THROUGH managed to carry through
the programme without the slightest
slip. If there is such a thing as a
perfect execution that was performed
at the Nevada prison yesterday.
The Last Effort.
In the early morning German male
statement before the Warden AMI
the captain of the guards ito the
effect that Roberts was not guilty of
the murder, that he was on the train
but did not participate in the crime.
1t was hoped that this would induce
the Governor to exercise his power
and grant stay. The Governor
stated that he was not made aware
of the fact and had he been. the re-
suit would have been the same and
that he alone did not have the power
to stay the proceedings. Germans
efforts came too late as did that of
the Others who claimed that Ehe
young man was not a party to the
murder The many confessions firm
~ fixed the crime on the men who
were executed and there was no at
tempt made to declare that they
were innocent. Not one of the men
faced the gallows with such state
ment on his lips.
and showed wonderful bravery in the
face of death.
