known to be earnest and sincere in

Lynch Law in Nebraska.

Lorris Higgins, who murdered w.
L. Couple and his wife, farmers near
Rosalie, Neb., Maytag, was lynched
at Bancroft. Sheriff Young, of Thurs
ton county, came to Omaha Sunday
night to get his prisoner, who had
been in the Douglas county jail since
his capture and took him to Bancroft
on a train which arrived there about
8 in the morning. Twenty men took
Higgins from the sheriff, hauled him
off in dray, and hung him to tree.
Higgins crime was wanton one.
He had worked on the Copple farm
and had had some trivial dispute with
Mrs. Couple. Anger over this was the
only suggestion of a reason for the
murder. He killed both in the barn
yard with a gun. He was young man,
and after his arrest became radically
religious, participating in every SER
vice held at the Jail.

1t was compromise in which Cal

hoped to defeat him. But there is still
a third delegate to be elected and the

choice can be made.
