LINcoLN's MURDERERs WERE
EXECUTED so YEARS AGO
BY United Press.


DENVER, Colo, July Fifty
years ago today the conspirators con-
victed of assassinating President Lin
coin were executed in the prison yard
cf the old Washington penItentiary.
A square wooden platform, ten or fif-
teen feet from the ground, with a
trap door cut in the floor, formed the
scaifold.
Benjamin f. Noll of this city,
member of the guard which surround
ed the scaffold recalled the scene to-
day.
ut was a hot and sultry day." he
said. Hardly a sound was heard but
the sobbing of Mrs. Mary Surratt and
the whispering of the two priests who
sat with her. The four conspirators
Mrs. Surratt, Lewis Payne Powell,
David E. Herrold and George a. Atz
erott-sat on wooden chairs on that
high platform. The men were quite
pale and immovable. Mrs. Surratt
was shaken with convulsive sobs and
required the attention of two priests,
one on either side of her.
"At signal from the platform, we
soldiers stood at present arms. One
of the men arose from his chair and
stepped forward. They placed the
black hood over his head and adjust
ed the moose. The trap clicked, the
body fell through the platform, and
when it was certain that the man
was dead, his neack having been bro
ken by the fall, the body was immsdi-
ately carried away.
II didn't look after that. 1 heard
them step forward; heard the trap
click, and heard the rope creak with
the weight of the body.
Mrs. Surratt arose, assisted by the
priest, and came forward TO the trap.
l looked up when her time came. She
was so weak she collapsed and had
to be supported by the priests while
they bound her eyes. l could hear her
sobbing, sobbing, sobbing, until l
thought must scream.
81 closed my eyes. | clenched my
fists, and the-nex; thing | heard was
the order to retire. 1t was all over
the assassination of Lincoln was
avenged I suppose the entire cere-
mony didn't take twenty minutes but
it seemed hours to me. And the sobs
of that woman ring in my ears to this
day. l have hardened to the grew
someness of battle; but this was an
experience had never reckoned with.
1t was awful. Nothing unusual hap
pened; everything went off without
hitch. The atmosphere of gloom by
reason of Lincoln's death had not
lifted from the people generally.
"The thing that bothers ME is; what
would Abraham Lincoln think IL he
knew? Abraham Lincoln, the tend1
crest, most compassionate man of his
time, the man who forgave his enc.
mics because 1t hurt him to be at
odds with any man on the face of the
earth"

.RUSSELLS BACK
FROM BATTLE MOUNTAIN
George Russell Says Hay Short This
Year But That lie Has $500 Tons
Left From Last Season

The Russells returned last evening
by rain from their ranch at Battle
Mountain where they passed ten days,
including the Fourth.
In the party were George Russell,
Sr., Miss Ruth Russell, Miss Matte
Russell and Mr.. and Mrs. E. r. New
man.
Mr.. Russell stated to a representa-
tive of the Independent that the river
at his Battle Mountain ranch was very
low and he added, The man at the
head of the river seems to have the
best water right"
Although the hay crop this year
will be short Mr.. Russell thinks the
cattlemen will suffer no great inoon-
venience. He has $500 tons on his
Battle Mountain ranch held over from
last year He will cut another thous-
and tons this season on the main
ranch.
The ranch at the Red House ten
miles below has been leased and they
are just commencing to cut. They will
have fair crop.
Mr.. Russell believes it will not be
necessary to bring in hay from Idaho.
1t is now more than thirty years since
Russell and Bradley were running cat
tie on the Idaho range around Sho-
shone falls and Twin Falls. And now
all that valley is great alfalfa patch.
Mr.. Russell says that there was
much alfalfa hay held over in Fallon
from last year and that 1t is better for
the stockmen to send cattle down
there to feed than to ship hay in.

ELKO TANHERY IS
TURNING OUT LEATHER
Materials and Is Proving 4
Great Success

Ellto in a small way is already a
manufacturing center. C. S. Garcia
has just brought out of the watts the
first hides from the Elko tannery.
Mr.. Garcia for Il number of years
has been sending out twenty thousand
TO twenty-five thousand dollars a year
for leather.
And the price Of leather kept ad-
vapcing. Two years ago it was forty
cents pound. Now it is siXty-five.
SO Mr.. Garcia decided to make his
own leather. The first results from
his tann2ry are most satisfactory.
Mr.. Garcia thus saves the freight
on hides to the city and the freight on
the leather back.
There Is of course the expense on
the shipment of tan bark to Elko.
The oak bark costs a cent and three
quarters. Then 10 this is added a cent
freight.
1t takes two tons of bark TO tan a
hundred hides. The Elko tannery will
tan about 1000 hides a year and use
approximately forty tons of bark
Now comes Il further adventure in
economy. Mr.. Garcia has long had his
eye on the sagcbrush that covers Ne.
vada hills.
This sagebrush has been expert
mented with in other places and it is
found that it contains tannin equal
10 that from the oak.
There seems 10 be no reason why
the bark of the sagebrush around Ell
ko can not be used in this tannery.
At least Mr.. Garcia will make the test.
This Will effect a further saving.
The lorty tons of Gark now required
will stand Mr. Garcia some twenty-five
hundred dollars if brought from the
outside.
The Elllo tannery cost fifteen hun
dred dollars. II is two stories and
built of concrete.
There are four lye vats, five by nine,
for taking Off the hair. And there
are twelve smaller watts for the bark
process.
1t takes about two months to tan
leather by the use of bark. 1t is done
in much less time by the use of acids,
but the bark tan makes the better
leather.
Mr.. Garcia has built up a reputation
all over the west. He ships his sad
dies TO Montana and to Honolulu. To
maintain this reputation he uses none
but the best leather.
Two hundred hides were put into
the tannery in May. The first of
these are now coming out.
Among these skins are calf skins,
beef hides and dog and sheep skins
ANY and all kinds of skins will be
bought and tanned.
The price for cattle hides is twenty
five cents a pound. A few years ago
the price was fifteen cents. The aver
ago hide weighs from twenty to TWEEN
ty-fivc pounds.
Nothing goes to waste in the EIko
tannery. The hair that is scraped off
is sold to Dlasterers. The scraps are
made into glue.
If II Is found that the sagobrush
will furnish the tanic acid bark the
ElwO taDnery will thus become a home
industry in every way, using nothing
but Nevada Materials.
And the manufactured product that
will be shipped out are the Garcia
saddles that have made Nevada fam.
