First Picture Postal Cards In 1870.
In Nuremberg they have been max
ing arrangements to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary Of the picture
postal card with a congress and ex-
position this year. Unfortunately for
thei,' plans, however, II has been dis
covered that tho first picture postal
card was not made in Germany or
sent from Nuremberg, nor was it born
in 1882, as they had supposed. The
distinction of making and mailing the
first Is now claimed by Leon Besnar-
deau, book seller of Sille-le-Guil-
laume. near Conlie, department Of
Sarthe. France, in 1870, during the
war with Prussia. he printed pictures
on postal cards he was mailing to
clients. M. Besnardeau is still alive
and there are many of his old Gus
toners in France who have the cards
he mailed them. The Germans adopted
the idea for the Nuremberg exposition
in 1882.

.G0MV|CTs LYNCH 4 NEGRO
BLACK, PLACED IN PEN FOR SAFE
KEEPING, is HUNG.
Wyoming Prisoners Quietly Reform
Lines After ocerpowering Guard
and Staying Attaeker.

Cheyenne, wyo.-Frank Wigfa,!.
the negro who attacked Mrs.
Julia Higgins, II years old, at Raw
Inns. was lynched by ~convicts in the
state penitentiary, where he had been
transferred for safe keeping from the
county jail at Rawlins.
The lynching, one of the most re.
markable in the history of the West,
followed the failure of a mob of sew
eral hundred persons to get posses
sion of the negro before daylight.
Wigfall, who fled into the hills near
Cherokee, was captured by posses
near Steele and taken to Rawlins. A
mob of angry citizens carrying ropes
and shotguns Immediately gathered
about the Jail. They became SO
threatening. that the prisoner was
taken to the state ~penitentiary at
Rawlins.
At daylight the 800 conyicts in the
~penitentiary learned of WigfaH's pres
ence At $50 a. M, while being
marched to the broom factory, the
prisoners suddenly leaped upon the
guards and the turnkey, overpowered
them and took the keys to Wigfall's
cell. They looped one end of a rope
about Wigfall's neck and fastened the
other end about a railing so feet
above. the main floor of the prison
rotunda.
Cursing loudly, their yells mingling
with the pleadings Of the negro for
mercy, the ~convicts seized WigfalI
and hurled him over the railing into
the rotunda. The victim fell rs feet
and his neck was broken.
A remarkable scene followed. Sat.
isfied that their victim was dead, the
prisoners made no effort to escape
from the prison. Instead, without a
word, they reformed their lines and
waited, ready to march to the broom
factory.
At this, additional guards rushed to
the cell floor and ordered the con.
victs to their cells instead of sending
them to the factory.

Lieut.. Richard l. P%ulleyne, who was

The disaster occurred while the

The "B-2" left Dover harbor to par

a series of maneuvers. The accident
occurred just an hour later, although
none of the sister submarines knew
anything about it until Lieut.. Pull

The young lieutenant collapsed
after he was taken from the water
and conveyed to the parent ship.
The liner Amerika stood by after
the collision and threw the life buoys
