MURDERER OF GOEBEL.
IN The PEN AT LAST
After Nearly SiA Years of Legal Resistance, Tool
of Infamous Political Clique Begins Life
Sentence in Penitentiary.

school teacher Howard lived in the
mountains all bis life, and early be-
came an expert shot, like all Ken
lucky mountaineers. lie was first a
deputy sheriff OF Clay county, then a
school teacher, lawyer, general store
keeper in the government revenue
service, and finally assessor of Clay
county, which he held when he be-
came involved in the Goebel trouble.
Howard is victim OF a Kentucky
feud, whatever were the circumstances
of the killing of Goebel. He was in
Frankfort, the day Goebel was shot,
trying to procure a pardon for killing
George Baker from w. 5. Taylor, then
governor of Kentucky. The prosecu-
tion has maintained that he was to
get the pardon for killing Goebel.
Howard has maintained that in this
seeming connection he was a victim
of circumstances.
The Baker Howard feud broke out
in 1897. The Bakers, one day. am
bushed Jim Howards father and two
brothers, killing the brothers and des-
perately wounding the father. Jim
Howard, as soon as he heard Of it,
mounted his horse and rode to the
ambush him, and that he escaped by
ambush him, and tha the escaped by
using his horse as a shield. In the en-
counter he shot George Baker to
death.
Howard was indicted for the mur-
der of Goebel in April, 1900. He was
then in Clay county, where he might
have remained indefinitely, as the
mountaineers are republican, and
would have afforded him protection
against an army, but in the month of
May, Howard went TO Frankfort, and
surrendered. His first real trial re-
suited in a sentence Of death, his sec
ond of life Imprisonment, both being
reversed. The third verdict was life
Imprisonment and was sustained by
the supreme court OF the state and the
supreme court of the United States.

ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT
is NOW ON THE CARPET

Colma, Cal, Feb. 2.-Mike Schreck
of Cincinnati and John Willie of Chi
cago, will fight twenty-five rounds be-
fore the Colma Athletic Club this
evening. Everything is in readiness
for the battle and the two contestants
are said to be in condition for fierce
and vigorous battle. This match is
an outcome of the Schreck- Kaufman
negotiations, which fell through on ac-
count of Billy Delaney's unwillingness
to allow his charge Kaufman, to take
part in fight with Schreck or any
one else, until he has had a complete
rest. Schreck and Willie have had
one meeting before this, and it's end
ing, through the incompetency of the
referee, was most unsatisfactory to
the fans.

ANOTHER MURDERER
SWINGS FOR CRIME

Washington, u. c., Feb. 2.-William
Walter Hamilton, a negro, convicted
of the murder of Lizzie Lyman, on
June 20, 1904. was hanged this morn
ing at the District Jail to expiate his
crime. Hamilton remained calm to
the very end and there was no hitch
in the execution.
Hamilton had two trials. The first
verdict of murder in the first degree
was set aside on a technicality, and
a new trial granted, which resulted
in a conviction. Sentence was passed
fixing the execution for November 10,
last, but owing to the pending of an
appeal to the District Court of APP
peals, the hanging was postponed. The
Court of Appeals confirmed the judg-
ment of the lower court, however, and
the execution was set for today.

that spring will witness a renewal of

time, his majesty assures the peas
ants that with the cooperation of the
national assembly he will institute

LINCOLN, The man
Subject of Address by DR.. r. e.
Williams at the Y. M. c. A.
Sunday.
KNOWN NOW AS A CITIZEN
Not Sycophant-Professed No Friend
ships That Were Not Real
Day at the Club.

Lincoln, the Man." was the subject
IF an able address yesterday afternoon
at the mems meeting of the Y. NJ. c. A 4,
by Rev. r. 3. Williams, pastor of the
served as Lincoln day. today being the
anniversary of Lncoln's birth. DR..
Williams, in opening his remarks, stat
ed that he should not attempt a biog-
raphy of Lincoln, or even TO summarize
his life. Lincoln was born 81 years
ago today, in Kentucky. Later he re-
moved with his parents to Indiana, and
then to Illinois, At 25 he was a mem
Der of the state senate, and later went
% congress. At 81 he was president
of the United States. The facts Of
his LIE are well known, and it is as d
nan and a citizen, not as the executive
head of the nation, not as a lawyer,
orator, or statesman, that we consider
him now" said DIR. Williams.
Virtue and lessons in the abstract
are everyday things, but qualities in
human character, seen in the concrete
life, have great power to help us.
Carlyle has sad, Man is an omniver-
Gus animal without feathers AS an
animal, man is not great success, and
S easily eXcelled in physical attain
ments by the beasts. Man is more
than body with a mind; he is a mine
with body; and happy is the man
who comes to a realization early that
he is more god than man, more mini
man is the center of things"
Applied to Lincoln.
Continuing. DR. Williams applied
these statements to Lincoln, as a man,
saying that Lincoln was nor a syco-
plant. and instead of deeming him
self beast, deemed himself more of
a god. He was conscious of the dignity
of his being. Self-reliance was one of
his great characteristics. Handicapped
by lack of opportunity, environment,
and with no influence TO make him a
success but his own intrinsic merit, he
humbled himself before no man for
his influence. but walked in the path
of his own marking. Too many men
are the circumference rather than the
center of things, and fail as a result.
Lincoln as Storekeeper and as sur
veyor was not a success, but he held
his head up, and worked toward the
end that he attained.
Lincoln was sincere, he made no pre-
lenses, and professed no friendships
that he did not feel. He made no pre-
tense of scholarship, yet when he took
up book he made it a food He could
always be trusted, and hence was al
ways loved
In analyzing the influence that made
Lincoln the man he was. DIR. Williams
said He was the child of Providence"
What gave Shakespeare, Burns, or Lin
coin the grasp they held on circum-
They were touched by Gods
own finger They were children of
