Warnoy Curll, one of the popular
young men employed in the Nebraska

ful accident Saturday. While assisting
in handling a streamor, a rather heavy
piece of timber, it fell and caught the
young man's right leg, crushing it against
the Iron rail of tho runway, breakiog the
bonos of the leg about five inches above
the ankle and severely crushing the foot.
Dr. Bowman was called and gave the
necessary surgical relief. It is nn injury
which may require a long time in heal
ing. Of all tho great newspapers of this
country the Pittsburg Dispatch is the
undoubted leader. Just at present, when
tho last bit of war news is read and re
read, it is a satisfaction to know that
what yeu are reading is from the most
authentic source ond strictly to be telied
upon. Such Is the service which tho
DispalcA'U now rendering. Not only up
to dato, but just a little ahead of its con
temporaries. The increased facilities
which it is now taking on aregoiugtoput
it beyond the reach of its competitors.
What the Dispatch don't eive don't bap
pen. The boys on May streot have been
having great sport during the past week
catching garter snakes. Thoso little rep
tiles it Boems had chosen a lot on that
street for their winter quarters and for
throe weeks past have been thawingout at
the rate of about 'steen a minute and the
boys have been capturing them alive, at
ono time having between two and three
hundred in a box. The boys had great
sport for a time but the excitement was
too much for them and when fhey com
menced "seein' things at night", their
mamas had the reptiles cremated and
closed the show.

belonging to Messrs. Cro; p A Siggins,
and located a short distance from the

was burnod on Saturday morning last.
When tho fire was discovered about 6
o'clock, one sido of tho building was on
fire, and bo quickly did the flames spread
that scarcely anything on the inside was
saved. Tho loss, estimated at about f G 0,
is a total one, there being no Insurance.
Mr. Cropp lost a matter of $10 or $50
worth of blacksmith tools which ha had
in the building. The cause of the fire is
considerable of a mystery, all fires hav
ing been carefully extinguished the eve
ning before, and it is strongly hintd that
it may have been a case of incindiarism.

An item in our last issue, taken from
dispatches supposed to be authentic, said
that the banging of Rockwell and Banya
iu Ridgway had been postponed. This
was not the case and the two murderers
ware swung into eternity at 10:40 a. m ,
on the 26th Inst Of the execution tho
Ridgway Star saj s :
The warrant called for their execution
between the hours of 10 o'clock a. m. and
two o'clock p. m., but it was understood
that the solemn tragedy was to be enact
ed as soon after the first named hour as
possible. Everything was ready and the
Sheriff was anxious to get through with
his disagreoablo task as soon as possible.
The last riles of the Catholic church were
administered to the coudemned men aud
the solemn march to the gallows com
menced. A deep hush fell upon those In
waiting as the heavy iron door swung
open and the procesriou entered. Sheriff
McMackin and his attorney, Harry Al
vin Hall, came first. Then came Fred
K. Rockwell and his spiritual adviser,
Rev. Father Meagher. Immediately fal
lowing wuro Paty Banya and the good
priest who had clung to him from tho be
ginning, Rev. Father de Ville. Both of
the men wore a string of rosary beads
and scapulary and carried a crucifix in
their hands. The priests chanted the
prayers (or the dying and Rockwell and
Banya prayed fervently, Rockwell was
asked by the Sheriff whother he bsd any
statement to make, but his only response
was the prayer, "Father forgive me my
transgressions." The blackcaps and the
hangman's nooses were adjusted and the
Sheriff went up the steps leading to the
upper tier of cells and waited for the sig
nal. He cut the rope with a sharp hatch
et and the heavy weigli ts fell at 10:40
o'clock. The physicians pronounced
thorn dead at 11:12 o'clock and tho bodies
were cut down and given in charge of
the undertaker. No one claimed the bod
ies and they were burled in the Catholic
cemetery at noon. This is the first exe
cution that has taken place in Elk coun
ty since its organization in 184.1.
Seeing the Soldier Hoys Off.
Last Wednesday was an eventful day
for this section of the State. It had been
noised about that the 10th Regt. N. G. P.
would leave Oil City on that day to go to
the front for the war with Spain, and that
several companies would pass down the
road on the noon train, to meet others at
Oil City. All along the lino people as
sembled at stations to see and cheer tho
boys on. At the station here there was a
profusion of flags displayed, and while
half the town were gathered, several
salutes were fired as the train pulled into
the station. A numberofourcitizens board
ed the train and went to Oil City, where
the entire populace had turned out and
formed a veritable blockade on the
streets. Alt business places were closed
and every shop in the city was shut
down. The regiment, under command
of Col. Hulings, marched through tho
principal streets aud took the afternoon
train for Mt. Gretna, where the entire ar
my of 8,000 troopi has sinco boon en
camped, awaiting orders lo move on to
Cuba.
From start to finish the boys were giv
en ono grand ovation, and as their train
sped onjt way people were out with
nags anr, bunting waiving them a "God
speed." It was a new and inspiring sight
to the r.sinjf generation, but to the older
ones, who Lad witnessod tho departure of
the boys in '61, long before many of the
present soldiers wcreborn.it meant much,
for they remembered how large a per
centage of thoso who then departed never
returned. May it not be so in this in
stance. Hickory and Endeavor.
The Maccabees, in order to keep no
with business on hand, were compelled

intends visiting friends in Franklin lio
fore returning.
Ed. Putnam of Hydotown visited
friends at Endeavor over Sunday.
Last Friday was tho last day of Mr.
Hays' school In room No. 3. It has been
an exceptionally good toriti, the teacher
and scholars combining to make it so.
The closing exercises were very good.
Tlireo essays that were read were excel
lent. The first, by Miss Emma Ander
son, entitled, "What will the schools of
East Hickory be twenty years from
nowf" was very laughable. The next
by Archie Hillard, telling us nil about
Cuba, its discovery and events of impor
tance that had happened since, was ex
cellent and showed a great depth of mind
in ono of his age. The last, but not least,
was by Lafayotte Osgood, comparing
Spain with the United States, in which
Spain is characterised as having always
been cruel, aggressive and treacherous,
wbilo the U. S. has been honest, peaceful
and sincore. It was a good essay, and
showed what our boys in school can do.
The rest of the exurcisos were carried out
in splendid form. Pkpko.
