ly protesting his innocence. His exc
cution was delayed as long as pos
sible by prison authorities in the
hopes that he would make a clean
breast of his crime before mounting
the scaffolding, but Lauterio's exc
cution apparently had no effect on
him and he mounted the steel stair
case to the death chamber unmoved
by the events Immediately preceding.
II am innocent" he replied, when
Thomas II. (Captain) Rynning, war
den OF the prison, asked him II he had
anything TO say before you go to
meet your maker?"
II am going to die because the
laws of men are going to put me to
death; that is why have a heart and
nothing more. ] am not afraid to
die. because my beloved Mexico has
taught me TO die like man. When
ever death comes to men. they have to
die like men. When death comes, I
like to die like man. the condemned
man said.
Sleep Peacefully
Both men apparently enjoyed
peaceful slumber throughout the
night, which was void OF any un-
usual happenings or utterances by
either man, the death watch said.
They were awakened a little after 4
o'clock, refreshed and seemingly Ut
for the ordeal.
Breakfast was served the two men
in their cells and they ate heartily.
Roman seemed unusually joyful and
softly hummed as he made himself
ready for the hanging.
The executions were set Tor
o'clock 1t was at that hour that the
death watch over the two men was
ended and as the prison clock tolled
off the fateful hour the great steer
doors to Lauterio's cell were thrown
open.

stairs to the death CHAMBER put ne

assistance. Asked by the prison
chaplain il he had anything TO say
before NEE ting his creator, he said;
Nothing: just give those letters to

which quickly disappeared.
Adjust Black Cap
The black cap, known as the oeath
cap. was then adjusted, the pody
strapped at the legs, the hips ana 1ust
below the shoulders, and the hang-
mans moose adjusted. The rope was
pulled taut about his neck ana IN a
second the trap was sprung. The 1aIl
occurred at 5:03 o'clock.
The neck was broken by the SIX
foot drop. swapping Of the vertebrae

witnessed the execution. After ~
minutes the body was cut down, Dr..
Huffman, the prison physician. pro-
nouncing Lauterio dead at o:2O
o'clock. DR.. Huffman stated that
beating Of the heart continued for 10
minutes after the fall, but that Lau-
terio was unconscious from the Ell
feet OF the swapping of the vertebrae.
At 5:47 o'clock Roman was led from
the death cell. He was in high spirits
and mounted the steps with light feet
and smiling at the group of men
about him. Arriving at the head OF
the stairs, he greeted the witnesses
and prison officials with a police,
Gentlemen, how are you?"
He stepped lightly over to the trap
door and stood directly in the center,
then turned and asked: "Is that just
right, gentlemen" Upon being told
that 1t was, he replied, "All right, go
ahead"

|N|M|TABLE "JIGGS"
PLEASES AUDIENCE IN
BIC LAUGHTER SHOW

Jiggs, come to life and surrounded
by bevy of lovely singing and
dancing girls, was the offering at
the Elks theater last night, and judg-
ing from the laughter and applause
which greeted every appearance of
the inimitable Irishman, he left
nothing to be desired in the minds of
his audience.
Jiggs is always himself in the
daily papers, and true to life in the
animated pictures. and it was a treat
to find him living breathing per-
sonality on the speaking stage.
Walter Vernon either knows the art
of makeup. or was chosen because he
looked the part, and he played 1t in
keeping with his looks.
Maggie was good as an actress, and
since she is but a caricature drawn
from McManus lively imagination,
we couldn't really expect her to look
the part. Louise Earl did the best
she could to disfigure her face into a
likeness Of the pictured Maggie, and
played the part to perfection.
Adelaide Adair as Merrily Miller
can sing as we'll as act and wear
pretty clothes, and Marian Holland
as "a widow with a will" appealed
nightly to masculine hearts.
There was Dinty Moore, and all the
other characters OF the pictures. and
around them was built a clever play,
with a lot of good dialogue, pretty
songs, and dainty dances.
And last, though far from being
least, there was a chorus of strik-
ingly pretty scantily dressed but oh
so fascinating girls. They appeared
at all times and at the slightest pro-
vocation, to sing their pretty cho-
ruses and step their dainty steps.
Not only that, but when they spoke.
as speak they did, it was in voices
sweetly attuned to the human cara
blessed relief from the usual nasal
twang.

train" was the reply.
Judge Kirkland held that intend
ing to ride a freight train" was no
crime in itself so dismissed the
charges against the two men and one
girl, but fined Julia SIS for carrying
a concealed weapon.
In the meantime three more repen-
tent girl adventurers are being held
here pending their return TO homes
in California by the federal authori-
ties. These girls left good homes
in the coast state determined to work
their way "around the world" But
Phoenix, their first stopping place,
proved a severe thorn In the Ions
path they contemplated. After q
severe grilling and lecture by federal
and city officers the girls agreed that
black home would be the best place
for them. So arrangements are be-
ing made for their return.

ly unmildful OF the fate in store for
him, he stood quite still while the
death cap was placed over his head,
while the straps were being adjusted
about his legs, his body and his arms
and while the moose was adjusted
about his neck and drawn taut.
When the details were completed,
he said. well, goodbye, comrades
and gentlemen" The trap sprung
just as he completed the last word.
He was pronounced dead by DR.. Huff

CHAPTER vi

Vacation, In spite of increased leis-
ure, may bring inconvenience to people
in Ramsey's strange but not uncom-
mon condition. At home his constant
air was that of badgered captive
plaintively silent under injustice; and
he found it difficult to reply calmly
when asked where he was going-an
inquiry addressed to him, he asserted,
every time he touched his cap, even
to hang 1t up!
The amount Of evening walking he
did must also have been a trial to his
nerves, on account Of fatigue, though
the ground covered was not vast. Mil
las mother and father were friendly
people, but saw no reason to "move
out Of house and home" as Mr.. Rust
said, when Milla had callers; and
on account of the intimate plan of
their small dwelling VISITORS only
alternative to spending the evening
with Mr.. and Mrs. Rust as well as
with Milla, was to invite her to "go
out walking"
Evening after evening they walked
and walked and walked, usually In

day., and that It didn't seem any
crime to him just to go to church with
her couple O times, Mrs. Milholland
went on: But if you think you really
must be dangling around somebody
quite this much-though what in the
world you find to talk about with this
funny little Milla Rust your poor ia
ther says he really cannot see-and
Of course 1t seems very queer to us
now when your mind ought to be en-
tirely on your studies, and especially
with such an absurd looking little
thing
mo, you must listen, Ramsey, and
let me speak now. What meant was
that we shouldn't be quite 80 much
distressed by your being seen with
girl who dressed In better taste and
seemed to have some notion Of refine
ment, though Of course it's only nat
ural she wouldn't, with father who
is just sort OF ward politician, / un-
derstand, and mother we don't know,
and Of course shouldn't care to. But,
oh, Ramsey! If you had to make your
self SO conspicuous why couldn't you
be little bit more fastidious? Your
father wouldn't have minded nearly so
much If it had been self-respecting,
intellectual girl. We both say that If
you must be so ridiculous at your age
as to persist in seeing more of one girl
than another, why, oh, why, don't you
go and see some really nice girl like
Dora Yocum?"
Ramsey was already dangerously
distended, as an effect of the earlier
part of her discourse, and the word
'fastidious" almost exploded him; but
upon this climax, Dora Yocum," he
blew up with a shattering report and
leaving fragments of incoherence rice

For the rest of the school term he
walked home with Milla every after
noon and on Sundays appeared to have
become a resolute Baptist. 1t was
supposed (by the interested members
of the hish-school class) that Ramsey
and Milla were engaged" Ramsey
sometimes rather supposed they were
himself, and the dim idea gave him a
sensation partly pleasant, but mostly
apprehensive; he was afraid.
He was afraid that the day was COM
ing when he ought to kiss her.

conpany-at perhaps the distance OF
half block-with Albert Paxton and
Sadie Clews, though Ramsey now and
then felt disgraced by having fallen
into this class; for sometimes it was
apparent that Albert casually had his
arm about Sadie's waist. This allured
Ramsey somewhat, but terrified him
more. He didn't know how such mat
tiers were managed.
Usually the quartet had no destina-
ton; they just went "out walking
until ten O'Clock, when both girls had
to be home-and the boys did, too,
but never admitted it. On Friday eve
nings there was public open-air con-
cert" by brass band in a small park,
and the four were always there.

and they dawdled, drifting from one
side of the pavement to the other as
they slowly advanced, Albert and Sa-
die, ahead Of them, called good night"

side street where Sadie lived; and
then, presently, Ramsey and Milla
were at the latter's gate. He went In

startled.

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER with his grandfather,
small Ramsey Milholland Is watching the
Decoration Day Parade in the home
town. The old gentleman, veteran Of
the Civil war, endeavors to impress the
youngster with the significance of the
great conflict, and many years afterward
the boy was to remember his words with
startling vividness.
CHAPTER II.-In the schoolroom, a
few years afterward, Ramsey was not
distinguished for remarkable ability,
though his two pronounced dislikes were
arithmetic and "Recitations. In sharp
contrast to Ramsey's backwardness is
the precocity of little Dora Yocum, a
young lady whom in his bitterness he de-
dominates Teachers Pet
CHAPTER HIN high school, where
he and Dora are classmates, Ramsey
continues to feel that the girl delights to
manifest her superiority, and the vindic-
tiveness he generates becomes alarming,
eliminating in the resolution that some
day be would SHOW" her.
CHAPTER IV.-At a class picnic Ram
sey, to his intense surprise, appears to
attract the favorable attention of Miss
Milla Rust, a young lady of about his
own age and the acknowledged belle of
the class. Milla has the misfortune to
fall into a. creek while talking with Ram
sey, and that youth promptly plunges to
the rescue. The water is only some three
feet deep, but Milla's gratitude for his
heroic act is embarrassing. He is in TACT
taken captive by the fair one, to his great
CONSERVATION.
