JUDGE LYNCH
HANGS A man.
MURDERER PULLED FROM TRAIN
AND STRUNG UP TO BRIDGE
BY THE NECK.
S0DY FILLED WITH LEAD
NEBRASKA MOB GROWS IMPA
TENT AT DELAY OF LAW
AND ENDS 1T ALL.

Bancroft, Neb.-Maddened by the
delay in the course of the written law
in the revolving murder case of Louis
Ray Higgins, the twenty-nine-year-old
Denver man who, on May 10, shot,
beat with club and mutilated the
bodies of Walter F. Copple and hts
wife and left seven children orphans,
on farm near Rosalie, mob over
powered the three officers who had
the prisoner in charge and hanged him
to bridge near the town and riddled
his body with bullets.
Mrs. Cora A. Higgins, the mother Of
the victim of the mob, who resides
in Denver, has been notified.
AS precautionary measures, Higgins
was given his preliminary hearing on
an Overland limited Union Pacific
train and has since been held in the
jail at Omaha, Nebraska. Sheriff
Young Of Thurston county went to
Omaha, secured the prisoner, obtained
two other guards to help him Offset
any attempt at lynching and started
for Bancroft, the county seat of Thurs
ton county, where Higgins was to have
been placed on trial.
sheriff's Vain Threat.
When Sheriff Young left this place
Sunday night he was accosted by citi-
zens who asked him what he would
do if an attempt was made to lynch
Higgins.
was the response.
well, we just thought we would
ask" said the committee of citizens,
because the chances are that you will
have some shooting to do"
The Lynching.
Thus forewarned, Young took every
precaution to guard his prisoner. On
the train Higgins, noticing the extra
guard, smiled and said: There is no
Eeed of this; l won't try to get away"
He did not seem to realize his dan
ger and was cheerful on his trip to
Bancroft.
The train bearing Higgins and his
guard arrived in Bancroft at 8 o'clock
in the morning. A mob Of more than
a hundred men awaited it. All the
men were armed and they scrambled
OF the coaches before the train had
stopped. Locating Young, his depu-
| ties and his prisoner, a demand was
| made for the murderer. Young and
his men resisted, but were soon over
powered and the prisoner. trem-
bling, miserable human being, taken
from them.
Higgins was made to stand in the
bed of a dray, being held up by men,
bers of the mob. The remainder Of
the maddened crowd ran shouting
after the vehicle. The dray was driven
al rapid pace under the bridge
where moose was alread changing.
AS the wagon passed under the bridge
the moose was dropped over Higgins
| neck and the speed of the wagon
jerked it taut and sent the victim to
| eternity. AS the body swung in mid
air the mob ran yelling around it and
shot hundreds of bullets into the sway
ing corpse.
The body was later cut down and
delivered to the coroner.
Sympathy was expressed on all sides
for the aged mother OF the murderer
in Denver, but as Higgins crime was
one of the most revolving ever COM
mitted in this section and as justice
had long been delayed. no regret for
the action of the mob is felt even
among the most conservative citizens
here.

PARTY RATE TICKETS
IMPORTANT RULING By THE IN
TERsTATE COMMISSION.

The interstate commerce commission has
announced far-reaching decision entitled
in the Matter of Party-Rate Tickets"
The decision was rendered by Commission
er Prouty and holds that party-rate tickets
cannot be limited to particular classes Of
persons, but must be opened to the general
public.
On September 90, 1906, the commission.
in response to numerous inquiries. ex-
pressed the opinion that party-rate tickets
could not be limited to particular classes.
but must be open to the whole public
alike. From this conclusion there was
emphatic dissent upon the part of many
carriers, and the commission was requested
to hear argument with a view to recon-
siderfng it's opinion. This request was
granted. and the matter was fully argued
at Washington on December II, 1906. The
commission found no reason in what was
then said to reconsider it's previous de-
cision, but no public announcement to this
effect was made.
Action Of Railways.
A large number of carriers have filed
tariffs combining the use Of these tickets
to amusement companies. and the COM
mission was informed that there Is an i'm
preston. arising out of the silence of
the commission on this subject, that the
commission had finally concluded such
tickets might be thus limited. Before TAX
ing steps to bring the matter before the
courts for determination, the commission
sees proper to state the contrary view, and
to indicate in this decision the reason
upon which it bases it's conclusion.
After citing several court decisions, it
was found that the circumstances and
conditions mentioned in the second section
of the act to regulate commerce refer to
the carriage itself and that the transpor-
tation of such amusement companies on
party-rate tickets would be similar trans
portation where the same number of per-
sons not belonging to such companies Of
fered to travel
Rigid Rule Prescribed.
at will be seem" says the commission,
that, under the holding of both our own
and the English courts, section 2 pre-
scribes rigid rule Of action. If the cir
cumstances and conditions Of the carriage
itself are the same the charge must be
the same. We are unable to see how the
carriage of ten persons belonging to an
amusement company, as party. differs
from the carriage of ten other persons, as
a party, in the same train, at the same
time, and between the same points; and
we are, therefore. of the opinion that the
party-rate ticket must be open to e gen.
eral public.
This Is not n case in which any order
can be made We simply state, in answer
to very many inquiries from Interested
carriers, what our Interpretation Of the
law will be. If that Interpretation is not
accepted by the railways, We shall at once
proceed to bring the question before the
courts. where alone it can be authoritative
ly settled"

FORTUNE FOR FAIR PRINCESS.
Twenty Million Dollars Is Nest Egg
She Inherited.

Americans as well as Europeans
who know her express delight at the
good fortune of Princess Henry of
Pless in inheriting, with her husband,
$20,000,000, comfortable addition to
their modest fortune. The money is
derived by the popular couple from
the estate of the duke of Pless, whom
nobody on this side of the water knew
well, and who had few friends even
in England. Princess Henry, on the
other hand gained the hearts of many
as Daisy West. 1t was by that name
she was known to most of her ac-
quaintances before her marriage,
though in strict formality she was
Miss Cornwallis-Wes She was be-
throthed to Prince Henry at the end
of her first season in society. The
duke of Pless lived a life of almost
feudal formality at Furstenstein, their
splendid Renaissance castle in the
borders of Bavaria. 1t must have re-
quired, indeed, power of adaptability
in an English girl to take up the posi-
ton of a sort of queen among the
peasantry there, driving about mag
nificently in carriage drawn by Arab
grays, ridden by postillions in claret-
colored coats and white beaver hats.
Still, Princess Henry has made the
life at Furstenstein quite pleasantly
informal, and most of the time is
spent, when she entertains English or
German friends there, in riding or
driving in the beautiful woods or val
leys near. Prince and Princess Henry
of Pless spend good deal of the year
in London, and they are oftener over
in England for the Cowes week. Their
little son was baptized in London two
years ago, it may be remembered.
The queen stood sponsor, and the
ceremony was splendid affair.
