Canon City, Colo. Juue 25.-Harry
Hillen. Denver hoy bandit" slayer Of
Thomas Chase In October, 1918. last
night took the step on the gallows
drop that ended his life. A career Of
lawlessness. marked by half a hun.
dred crimes. was closed when he
walked upon the little square plat.
form In the state penitentiary death
chamber; moment later he was
dangling from the end OF a rope. He
was pronounced dead at 10:30 o'clock.
Blamed Deed on Companions.
Until the final minute Of his life
Hillen maintained his innocence Of the
murder Of Chase in Denver 4 year and
half ago. He blamed that deed upon
two companions. youths who had
helped him In other crimes to which
he confessed to the Denver police.
The last hour Of Hillen's life began
with the assembling of witnesses and
officials In the penitentiary. The
slayer had made his spiritual peace
earlier In the day. with ministrations
by Prison Chaplain Blake and the
Rev. c. P. llsley, q Baptist pastor.
His sister, Miss Irene Hillen. had
spent most of the day with him. bring.
ing confirmation Of the news that the
governor had refused to interfere in
the case.
His spiritual adviser. Chaplain
Blake and the Rev. Mr.. nsey. stepped
forward. and in tones audible only to
the man between them. commended
his soul to his Maker. Their rites per
formed. they retired.
Then the black cap-and from the
group came shudders. Heads were
averted and remained 10 until the end.
In q twinkling the guards had hob
bled the prisoner. leaving him Just
enough foot freedom to step backward
once more. His arms and wrists were
fastened to his sides and the guards
adjusted the knot carefully and then
they stepped back. A low word OF
command was given from some one in
uniform and. obedient though he knew
1t was fatal. Hillen took the step. He
felt the little platform sink slowly and
he braced himself rigidly.
The platforms sinking released an
S00.pound weight In side room. The
weight fell. carrying with It the other
end of the rope which was stretched
over series Of pulleys. 1

oLYnr1c BOYS K3sfE1fAu

Those who were fortunate enough 20
attend the smoker given by the Olym-
pic club last Wednesday, june ?, ell
loved themselves every minute FROM
o clock until midnight had passed Ths
Olympic boys pulled everything Of IS
smoothly rs possible, and the visitors
were kept interested throughout the
evening. Those present were Steve
Holland, Gus Holland, Lester Nechau,
Earl Rice, George Kelker, Lawrence
Clark, Vincent Holland, Marvin Nc
MILAN, Leslie Weirick, Harold Parki-
son, Walter korn, John Shuttle, Thayer
Hubbard, Erie Hubbard, Gus HOtz,
Carl Fulghum, Jerome French, Hop
Rittmayer, Johnny Clarke, Harold Ma
son, Bert Fraser and Charlie Howard.
The boys played cards until about
nine clock, when the games ceased
and the party retired to the parlor of
the Olympic rooms to be keeny enter
tained by clever boxing and wrestling.
The first bout was between Harold
Mason and Earl Hubbard, who wres-
tied. The first bout went to Mason
who pinned Hubbard's shoulders to tho
mat in one minute and thirty seconds,
using the hip and knee hold. The men
appeared 80 evenly matched in strength
and science that the spectators were
on their toes all the time in the sec
ond bout. This lasted four minutes
forty seven seconds, Macon winning
with the half Nelson and hamnerlOek.
The next event was . lightweight
wrestling match between Johnny Clarke
and Jerome French. Both lads were
evenly matched and, after dividing
falls, the first by Clarke and the next
by French in So seconds and 80 seconds
respectively, the lads tussled six min.
utes fourteen seconds before French
put Johnny down.
Then battle royal was furnished
by Carl Fulghum and Hop Rittmayer.
1t was arranged that four three minute
rounds be fought. Those who have
seen these boys boxing can imagine
how they went at it, The first round
was a pummeling match proper. Tho
second the same. The third round the
boys slowed up and spared for wind.
When the fourth round opened, both
youths were in the center of the ring,
pounding each other without mercy.
The match was so even that Referee
Thayer Hubbard was compelled to call
it a draw.
After these events the Olympics
served lunch consisting of ice cream,
sandwiches, cake, grape juice and cof--
fee. Then cards were in order and no
doubt some of the boys are playing
still.
