Saturday was Forty.sixth ADni-
yersary of Famous Manka-
to Execution.
Free Press Recalls Some Interest
ing Features of the Notori-
Gus Event.

Forty-six years ago Saturday, says
the Mankato Free Press, thirty eigbt
Sioux Indians were executed in Man
kato by hanging. The weather was
fine. There was nosnow ont the ground,
and people were out in their shirt
sleeves The city was filed with peo-
pie, who had driven in to see the exc
cution. There were no railroads, but
people drove as far as fifty miles, from
all directions. Some came by OK team,
and many drove all night. Accommo-
dations of every description were
taken.
More than 1,500 soldiers were sta
toned in the city, and numbers of In
dians were confined in a stockade,
aside from the thirty eight that were
to be hung. They could not see the
execution.
The hanging took place at 1915 in
the forenoon, all being executed at the
same moment from a large square gal
lows, erected for the purpose. About
ten swung from a side.
Among those executed, it is now
thought by some people that nearly
one-half were innocent of the charges
against them. The worst of the muir
derers were not caught, those that we're
tried having voluntarily surrendered.
These we're given a trial, and among
them was q full-blooded negro, who
turned states evidence, and it was
largely on his testimony that the con-
victions were secured. Over 300 were
convicted and sentenced to be hung,
but President Lincoln exercised elem
ency in the cases of all out thirty-nine,
and one of these subsequently, died.
There were FIVE or six French half
breeds among those hung, and one
white man, who was brought up from
a baby among the Indians. 1t was
thought at the time that he was an In
dian, and it is thought that he had
nothing to do with the murders. The
people were demanding vengeance and
all Indians looked alike to them, and
it was easy to convict. No chiefs were
among those hung.
A trench had been dug on the river
bank, and the bodies were placed in
this and covered with blankets. That
night there was a resurrection and
every body disappeared. It is sup
posed that all soon found their way
into dissecting rooms of the medical
colleges of the country.

Mountain Climbers Marrow Escape
While Scaling Mount Huasearan.

Mountain Climbers Narrow Escape
While Scaling Mount Huascaran.
Miss Annie S. Peck Of Providence,
r. l., the noted mountain climber, who
recently returned to New York from
South America on the Panama liner
Alliance, is going to write a book on
her experiences in climbing to the sum-
nit Of Mount Huascaran, In the Peru
Wan Andes, 24,OOO feet above sea lev
q, bus she consented to tell before
hand Ut one thrilling incident of her
ascent. She said:
We reached the summit on Sept. 2, and
the following night as we were making
our way down Taugwalder, the guide who
was leading. slipped and carried me with
him over the edge of a fssure The other
guide, Gabriel yum Taugwa1d, fortunately
Tor us, had seen the misstep and had
braced himself with his alpenstock, so
that when the rope that bound us all to-
gether yanked taut he retained sufficient
purchase in the ice not to be carried off
his feet by our combined weight. He
called down to us instructions to dig our
selves footholds that would tighten the
strain both on the rope and himself and
gradually pulled us both back to him.
1t was the closest call ever had. The
nSSAdClL was uuS " LILO 4dCL tldC L aug.
valdez had frozen both hands and foot
on the way up so that the going with
him was especially difficult. He had lost
his gloves and has since had to have one
hand amputated as result.
Miss Peck ascribed much Of her sue
cess to the two Swiss guides. .The al
titude Of $4,000 feet, which marks the
summit Of Mount Huascaran," she
said, SURPRISES, believe, that reach
ed by any one before me. Heretofore
the record has been held by W. W.
Graham, whose ascent Of one Of the
Himalaya peaks is set down as climb
Of 23,s0O feet
In Miss Peck's first attempt to scale
Mount Huascaran, made last August,
the party was compelled to camp or
the ice for nine days. On this occasion
the same guide who on the second and
unsuccessful attempt imperiled the
caravan by falling into crevasse was
taken i'll with mountain sickness,
which Miss Peck says is in every re
spect similar to seasickness, and the
ascent had to be abandoned after a
height of 10000 feet had been reached.
Miss Peck, who is nearing fifty years
of age and whose physique is anything
but amazonian, gives sound lungs and
heart as the greatest desiderata in
mountain climbing.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-30

Officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road recently made public plans for
the construction Of the largest bridge
In the world 1t will connect the main
land of New York with Long Island
and with its approaches will be three
miles long. The points to be connected
are Port Morris and the Long Island
shore at Woodside. The greatest span,
over Hell Gate channel, will be a
thousand feet long. 1t will be 40 feet
over the water, permitting the passage
of the tallest vessels.
The structure will connect with the
New Haven tracks at Port Norris and
with the Pennsylvania tracks in Queens
county and the connecting railroad that
encfrcles Brooklyn. Work is to be be-
gun as soon as the Pennsylvania ter
mfnal in New York city is completed.
When the bridge and Its connections
are made, through trains will be run
from New England points to the south
by using it and the Long Island tunnel
and the Hudson river tube.
At present only a few passenger
trains are run from Boston to the
south. They are carried around New
York city from the New Haven yard
at One Hundred and Thirtieth street
to the Pennsylvania station In Jersey
City upon car float
The bridge as planned in many re-
spects is one Of the most daring and
remarkable engineering structures ever
proposed, says the New York Ameri-
can. The entire structure, except the
piers for the arch, will be OF steel, hav-
Ing an estimated weight Of $4,000
tons. The novel feature Of the plans
is that the train floor OF the bridge in
stead of resting on the crown Of the
arch Is hung from it. The crown Is
300 feet above the water and the floor
about half that distance.
1t will have four tracks, two for pas
senger trains and two for freight, and
Is designed for live loads on each OF
the tracks of two 100 ton locomotives
followed by uniform load Of 5000
pounds per linear foot The floor car
ried by the arch will have deep grid
ers under the tracks and crossbeams
at the posts interlaced with diagonal
bracing.
The main arch is to be fianked by
piers from which will rise double tow
ers 200 feet high. The towers will be
Of massive proportions, with the lower
portion Of granite and the upper. OF
| concrete. The main body Of the piers
will be filed with earth and stone te
| provide sufficient weight to counterac1
the thrust of the arch.
Expansion and contraction Of the
| structural work, due to changes in the
weather, had to be taken care of. BY
| carefully arranging the members OF
the arch the movement at the crown
1 is only few inches, while in the track
floor two special expansion joints are
fitted that prevent the floor from NOV
ing under the action of train starting
or stopping on the bridge.
Original plans for the bridge were
drawn by former Commissioner OF
Bridges Gustave Lindenthal He sub
m1tted them to the municipal art com
mission, and after months Of consider
alton they were approved. It is esti
mated to cost between fifteen an6
/ twenty million dollars.
