Clock Watchers.

Every once in awhile we hear the
executive head Of some great enter
prise lament the fact that good men
are hard to find: men who are ambi-
tious and aggressive and who may be
trusted with the absolute assurance
that they will meet the demands of
their position. It is true that for
every man who has in himself the abil-
ity. the character and the qualities
that deserve and command success
there are hundred clock watchers
and Purchasers whose whole idea of
life is 10 make as many dollars at
the moment and do as little real work
as circumstances will permit.

NEGROES DESPERATE DEED
Steals an Engine, Kills man
Assaults Woman, and is
Lynched.

Sam Turner, a negro, OF Mu!drow,
Okla, started off Saturday night to
celebrate New Years o day ahead OF
time. He stole an engine, killed
farmer, assaulted the farmers wife got
drunk on whisky and wound up by
being lynched.
Turner was hanged by mob near
Muldrow after killing George Cason
and assault;ng his wife shortly after
- o'clock Saturday night and after
the farmer had opened his door to the
negro and made tire for him, SO that
he could get warm.
The fact that Turner fell asleep
from drinking whisky probably saved
the life OF the woman and her five
children. lie was still asleep at the
house when taken by two citizens
OF Muldrow, who had been notified
from neighbours house, where Mrs.
Cason had run in her night clothing
after the negro had sunk into drunk
en- stupor.
Shortly before midnight railroad
men in the Iron Mountain yards, at
| Van Buren,. Ark, saw 4 switch engine
going west at q rapid rate. The agent
at Muldrow was ordered to sdetrack
the locomotive and thus avert q serious
wreck.
In a lew minutes the engine was
seen TO approach Mudrow running
at slow speed, but when two men
tried to board it the person at the
throttle threw it wide opeu and 1t went
at fast clip into the side track, where
it was derailed and turned over on its
side.
Turner left the engine and stopped
at the farmhouse OF George Cason.
He stated that he was nearly frozen
and asked that he might stop long
enough to get warm. The farmer let
him in the single room OF the house
and built a IRE for him. Cason then
went back to bed and left the negro BY
the fire.
Turner found IN axe and, flashing
| a pistol at the same time, ordered
both the man and his wife to cover up
their heads or he would kill them.
Both did so. Cason at the same time
telling the negro where his money
was. Having obtained this informa
lion, the negro swung the axe at Cason
head, the flat part of it striking hin,
on the left temple. He was rendered
unconscious and died few minutes
afterward.
The negro then demanded whisky
from the wife and she procured the
liquor for him. He commanded hcs
to drink with him, but each time she
only pretended to drink which he gulp,
ed down large quantities OF the lntox-
icant. Threatening to kill her, he a.,
sauited her.
He fell asleep and Mrs. Cason ran
in her nightclothing through the light
snow to the home OF a neighbor, Jasp-
er Owen, and telephoned to Muldrow
to George Rogers brother and Oliver
Matthews. They wen; to tie Cason
home and found the negro sttll sleep
ing. They covered him with revolvers
bound him and took hime to town
where he was lodged in the city Jail.
He was later taken from the lookup by
mob and hanged.

Stole Easter Letters.

StOfc Easter LClkCISs
At las. it has been discovered why
SO many letters from America to Aus.
tria-Hungary have gone astray in the
last twelve .months. The culprit Is
Heinrich Muller. a sorter at the
Southern Railroad Station postofflce
in Vienna, who was observed the 9th.
er day to put an American letter into
his breast pocket.
Muller was questioned, and driven
into corner he soon owned up. He
first produced thirty-one American
letters from various pockets, and q
further search resulted in finding
seventy-four more letters hidden un-
der his shirt. He then confessed
that he had been Systematically rob-
bling the mails since September last
year and had opened four thousand
letters from America, the majority Of
which inclosed dollar notes sent home
by Austrians and Hungarians in
America.
His greatest haul he made about
Easter time, when people in America
were sending presents to the old
folks at home. They were chiefly
sent to Hungary, Galicia and the
sSathern provinces Of the monarchy.
