"Snap" Curry, the first negro to be led to the stake, was arrested when his wife told offi cers he had come home with his clothes covered with blood on the night of the murder. Curry was taken to Wortham and imprisoned in a bank for safekeeping, where it is alleged he confessed to the mob that he had attacked and murdered the girl and that in his confession he implicated two otfher negroes, J. H. Varney and Mose Jones. He was taken from the sheriff as he was being conducted to another town for safety. Irlner Taken From Sheriff. A mob gathered about and threat ened to storm the building, where upon officers spirited the prisoner through a rear window and started with him in an automobile toward Mexla, apparently en route to Waco. Resistance seemed useless and the prisoner was surrendered. The mob divested the sheriff of his keys to the Freestone county jail, where Jones and Varney were being held as suspects, unlocked the doors and there took the other two negroes in charge. All three were then rushed to Kirvin, the home of the dead girl, where the execution took place at an iron stake driven into the ground on a small square in the heart of thfc town. Wood, saturated with oil to increase its inflammability, was piled about the stake. Curry was burned first, then Varney and Jones. There was some delay, in burning the last two, as they stead fastly maintained their innocence, but they were finally cremated on the strength of Curry's testimony. After the third negro had been burned to a crisp, aLl three bodies were piled together and a mass of fuel and oil flung over them. This was ignited, the flames soaring 25 or 80 feet in the air.

APPEAL UNLIKELY IN DALY WILL CASE Educational Benefits From Big Estate Due in Fall. FUNDS AMPLE FOR ALL Time Limit for Contest Over ST 50.0 00 Fortune of Lake County Man Expires Today. Expiration today of the statutory six months allowed for appeal from the decision of the court establishing the legality at the will of the late Bernard Daly, who loft practically all of his $750,000 estate to be ueed to educate boys and girls of Liake county, makes it practically certain, it was said last night, that there will be no appeal In the case and no contest over the disposition of the Daly fortune. As the six months expire on Sunday, tomorrow will be allowed for filing an appeal, but it Is not expected this step, will be taken. Mr. Daly, long a resident of Lake county, where he amassed large wealth, and was prominent in. educa tional affairs there, directed in his will that all his property, except a few bequests, go to establish the Ber nard Daly educational fund, the inter est from the principal to be used to supply educational . opportunities to properly qualified and deserving youths of Lake county. Named to ad minister and carry out the trust were prominent citizens of Lake county, to gether with the presidents of Oregon Agricultural college and the Univer sity of Oregon. Benefits Due In Fall. It was said that since the possibil ity of a contest of the will be removed, the educational foundation he .left will begin to function next fall when school terms open and tjge first bene ficiaries of the will begin to receive aid. The gift was so generous, in deed, that it is believed no boy or girl in Lake county need go without an education, since funds will be ample, probably, to supply an education to all. Mr. Daly was never married, leav ing no direct heirs, although .there were other relatives who sought . to share the estate and sued to set aside the provisions of the will insofar as they set aside practically all of the funds in the estate for the education of Lake county youth. Long a, school director of a district in that section of the state, Mr. Daly viewed educa tional advantages very highly and It was m the belief that education is the greatest boon that can be given to young people that the rather unique bequest was made. Amount May Be Decreased. By reason of a suit filed recently by the state to cancel title to 10,000 acres of land held by the Lake County Land & Livestock company, it is said the amount applied to the Bernard Daly educational fund may be de creased somewhat, since the estate owned the majority of the stock in that company. The suit by the state will be resisted. Mr. Daly's death oc curred in January, 1920. BIG PORTLAND NIMRODS CAPTURE PRIZE SELF-TRAPPED. Royal Beauty of Columbia Waters Becomes Entangled With Tow Line and Is Landed. The story of a fine big salmon that presented itself to a fisherman friend was circulated about the city hall yesterday by A. L. Barbur, city commissioner and an ardent fisher man. C. W. Boost of Portland and a com panion or two were fishing from a coat at Jennings Lodge the other morning, when Mr. Chinook, weight 34 pounds, age undisclosed, floated up and announced that he was their fish. Some luckless fishermen up- river had hooked the big beauty, but the line parted and Mr. Chinook started pell-mell down stream. The big fish was making excellent progress untilthe dangling end of a broken line swept across the tow line by which Mr. Boost's boat was anchored in midstream. Suddenly oc cupants of the boat became aware that something was creating a dis turbance at the bow of their craft. Scenting something worth investigat ing, they grabbed the snarled line as it slipped within reach of the towline. In the language of Briggs, that "grand and glorious feeling' was instantly theirs, for the big salmon was tugging for liberty at the other end of that stray line. This time the line stood the strain, and after a brief but thrilling battle the royal Chinook which had so kindly tied himself to their craft was the prey of the lucky fisherman. D. C.
