NO. 266
PLANS FOR
THE HANGING
Gallows Will Be Erected in Northwest
Comer of Portland Court Yard on
Which Wade and Oalton Will Suf
fer the Death Penalty.
Portland, Dm. 26. While the exe
cution of Wade and Dalton ia more than
a month off, preparations are already
being made for the execution. Sheriff
Frazier intend to do hie doty in this re
gard, "although it ie not a pleasant one,
and unless hit plans are changed, will be
tbe one to put the noose around their
necks and pnll the cord which will open
the trapdoor.
It ie proposed to erect the callows in
tbe northwest corner of the courthouse
yard, at the corner of Salmon and Fifth
streets, north of the carpenter's shop.
The gallows will be at the eust end ot
this space of ground, and will have two
traps, so that both men can be hanged
at the same time. Tbe fl or of tbe gal
lows will be about eight feet from the
ground, and tbe gaiiows will be alto
gether about 15 feet high. This it ia
estimated, will leave about loOOtqnare
feet ol available space, which will be
ample, as the sheriff intends restricting
the invitations.
As a 11 attrr of conrteey, invitations
will be Bent to all the sheriffs in the
state of Oregon and to some in the state
of Waehineton. In Portland, come
doctors, officials from the polios office
nod representatives of the press will be
accorded privileges ; but, outside these,
the sheriff proposes to be chary of grant
ing invitations.
Wade and Del ton are tbe same as ever,
tbe former especially eeemiogly having
no fear of bis impending doom. They
ate a good turkey dinner yesterday, and
this morning were writing letters, prob
ably more to pass the time away than
for any other reason. Botb men are of
the Catholic faitb, and this morning re
quested that tbe sisters be sent to them.
This request was ot course granted by
Jailer Mitchell.
The hour for the execution has not yet
been set, this being a matter discretion
ary with the sheriff, but it will probably
be between 6 and 10 o'clock in Ike morning.

possible to tee across tbe atreet.
Tbe storm apparently extended clear
t trough to tbe coast, aa laat nlgbt Seat
tle, Tacoma, Spokane and other points
reported terrific wind, and marine die
asters were feared. Wiret failed before
any dotnils could be obtained. The
etorm appears to be gradually working

Utah pointa today and every indication
points to a severe oiiziara w iue mir
