glanced over toward the rectory and
the dignified old church standing be-

a man whose features seem coarsened

particularly resented was that a por

Draft Riots.

The only notorious draft riots" OF
the Civil war took place July 49, IA.
Is and 16, 1868. in New York city. 1t
is estimated that more than thousand
men we're killed, and property worth
$1,5O0,0O0 was destroyed in the four
days. The draft was resumed. how
ever, on August 10, and was completed
in ten days without resistance. There
were slight disturbances in Boston on
the night Of July 10, in Portsmouth.
N. H., and in Holmes county. Ohio In
Philadelphia and Chicago prominent
Unionists asked the president to post
pone the draft, and 1t was avoided in
Illinois until the next year.

the neck; black trousers and loose slippers. He was to be given his choice of food for breakfast. This last meal over, Hillstrom was to be led, blindfolded, by two guards to- ward the open court where rifemen were to be hidden behind the black smith shop door, Hillstrom's request to face his executioners unblindfolded was denied. He was not to see the sun on his last day on earth.
 The rifemen are picked shots. They were to be taken to the prison secretly and their identity was not to be known. One of their five guns was to contain a blank, but none of the rihemen are to know which was the harmless weapon. The rifles, extend ing from five holes in the door, will point at a congress chair 90 feet away in the prison yard. The guards will quickly shove the doomed man into the chair, strap his legs and arms to posts and fasten strap around his waist
 The prison physician will take Hill strom's pulse and pin white target over his heart. The little group of official witnesses is to keep at a safe distance, behind ropes. Sheriff Cor less will step back and ask the wit nesses to uncover. He will give a signal and five rifles will speak. Four will spit deadly missiles through the white target, through Hillstrom's heart and into the packed sand box behind the chair. Hillstrom is ex- pected to die almost instantly.
 Although Hillstrom came to the United States from Sweden when he was 20, he did not take out citizenship papers. He was well known in the ranks of the Industrial Workers of the world. Charges by the prosecu- tion that Hillstrom was arrested dur ing the Butte labor troubles, that he aided the McNamara brothers in their dynamiting career and other allega- tions, were never refuted by the de- fence, but Attorney o. N. Hilton of Denver, a volunteer in Hillstrom's defense, challenged the pardon board to prove that Hillstrom was ever con victed of any criminal charge. There was no proof that he had killed an officer.
 Hillstrom was the author of many I. w. w. songs and articles display ing his bitterness against conditions, rather than any marked literary tal- ent. He has no fixed place of resi- dence.

Story of Execution
 of Jos. Hillstrom
United Press Correspondence)

NOnlleu | ITeSS NOIIeSpOIuChSS)
 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 19. Especial to Gateway)-Five rifle men hired by the county at $40 were scheduled to shoot Joseph Hillstrom through the heart in the prison yard here shortly after sunrise today, that being the penalty the 33 year old l w. w. poet has been sentenced to pay for the murders of J. G. Morrison and his son Arling, here about two years ago.
 Hillstrom selected this method of execution instead of hanging, as is permitted by the Utah law. His friends all over the country put up such a fight to save him that the President of the United States, at the Swedish Minister's request, granted him a vain rpprieve iii September.
 While circumstantial evidence con victed Hillstrom of the murders, his own attempt to defend himself in court and his refusal to tell where he was on the night of the crime, help ed to send him to his doom. Hill strom's plea was that he was in a married womans company and he consistently adhered to the declara- tion that he would rather die than ruin her good name. This story was not credited by the authorities.
 Hillstrom apeared shortly after the murders with a bullet wound in his shoulder. Blood spots showed that the Morrisons wounded their as sailant. The man with whom Hill strom lived disappeared after the murder. The missing man was be- lieved to have been Hillstrom's ac- compice, witnesses at the trial testi- flying that two men of their general appearance were seen lettering around the Morrison place.
 Fourteen men besides Hillstrom have died at the hands of the Utah firing squad, according to law. Only four ever chose to be hanged. The procedure scheduled for today was fixed by precedent. Extraordinary precautions were taken to guard of fcials, from the governor and supreme court justices down to Sheriff John Corless, who was to give the firing signal. Even the principal public buildings were under heavy guard as was also the county prison.
 Many letters were received during Hillstrom's fight for a new trial or communication, threatening officials with death and stating that buildings would be razed with dynamite if Hill strom was not freed.
 Before dawn today Hillstrom was to be garbed in a black shirt, open at
