MURDERER PULLED FROM TRAIN

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 y-nine-year-old
Denver man who, on May 10, shot,
beat with a club and mutilated the
bodies of Walter F. Copple and his
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 a 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 a 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 II an attempt was made to lynch
Higgins.
"Shoot the first man who tries it,"
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 Lynehing.
Thus forewarned, Young took every
precaution to guard his prisoner. On
the train Higgins, noticing the extra
guard, smiled and said: There Is no
need of this; / 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 s o'clock
in the morning. A mob of more than
hundred men awaited it. All the
men were armed and they scrambled
on 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
at rapid pace under the bridge
where a 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.

scALy ERUPTION ON BODY.
fsrsd 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

When l was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each OF my
lower limbs. i scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became 80 sore that
l could scarcely walk. When | had
been suffering for about a month
tho sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward | was troubled by such severe
itching that. until | became accus-
toned to 1t, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days. but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After l suffered about
ten years l made q renewed effort to
shect = cure. The eruptions by this
timo had appeared on every part OF
my body except my face and hands.
Tho best doctors In my native coun-
U advised me to use arsenic In small
doses and a salve. l then used to
bathe the sores In a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition l used other remedies. such
as iodine. sulphur, zinc salve. rs

was continually giving some remedy

ono or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
