HANGING IN PENlTeNTlARY
Probably the First lime in History
Has Such a Thing
Happened.

haWnnS, WyO., Oct. Z. De-
tails Of the Iynching of Frank
Wigfall, the assailant of Mrs.
Esther Granny Higgins,
known as the prisoners
friend" by the convicts of the
state penitentiary here today
while Sheriff Niells at the county
jail was holding off a party Of
would.be citizen lynchers. may
never be known.
The sinister threat, the first
man who squeals is the next
man hung" silenced all the con-
victs and prison guards ex.
amined by the coroner's jury
today. The jury gave up the
task late this afternoon without
learning anything.
Wigfall was placed in the
county jail late yesterday for
safekeeplng after his capture at
Fort Steele. When the mob
surged about the jail early this
morning the sheriff probably
saved the prisoners life by
slipping him out unseen to the
penitentiary nearby. Wigfall
was placed in a cell which soon
after. prisoners marching TO
breakfast, had to pass. As they
filed by the negro made slight
ing remarks of his crime.
Many Of the prisoners remem-
bered acts Of kindness of
Granny" Higgins and the
pegro's remarks brought their
anger TO a pitch that soon re-
suited in his death.
With the mob of citizens at
the jail outside clamoring for the
negro. about 100 Of the prisoners
broke loose Immediately after
breakfast and made a dash for
the negro. who also had been
taken 10 breakfast. The guard
was overpowered before he
could thrust the negro into a
cell and himself locked in the
cell by the Infatuated convicts.
One Of the convicts produced a
rope and while the others held
the negro he tossed a half hitch
over the negro's head and made
the other end fast 10 the balcony
rail of the cell house. The
negro was tossed over the rail
and the convicts marched back to
their work.
Not until the cries of the inn
prisoned guard brought other
guards, was the lynching known.

part in il.
Sunday night Wigfall broke
into Mrs. Higgins's house. chop

About dawn Monday he left her
in a pitiful condition. A few
hours later she crawled to a
neighbor's house and told what
had happened. Posses searched
the hills all Monday night for
the aged woman's assaiIant.
Last night he was captured in
an exhausted condition by a
justice Of the peace.

fibre to an elimination of the seed,
and the preservation of the COTTON
