THE OREGON SCOOT. uiN important decision.
AMOS K. JONES
City and County Official Paper.
Friday, November IS, 13S7,
DISPOSED OF.
Four of t lie Cliicngo Anarchists wcro
linngcd last Friday. These were
Enycl, Farsons, Fichcr wnd Spies.
One, Lingij, killed himself the day
before by means of a fulminating cap,
which he exploded in his mouth.
Gov. Oglcsby commuted the sentence
of two, Ficldcn and Schwab, to fin
prisoninent for life. Lingg was the
most dangerous andidcspcralc of (ho
lot, but escaped hanging by an act of
fearful self-destruction. lie had
somehow concealed a small cap, about
ns large n n lead pencil and an inch
long, filled Willi an explosive prepa
ration of mercury, wilh a fuse at
tached, and phicing this in his mouth,
he lighted the fuse with the candle
and blew the whole lower part of his
head and face to pieces. 1 lis jaws,
teeth and checks wcro scattered about
the floor of the cell, yet ho lived and
was conscious for several hours, being
able to write and to understand what
was said.
The condemned men slept soundly,
not awakening until after hix o'clock
Thero was no conversation between
, them beforo the execution. They
simply bade each other good-bye.
Spies, Parsons and Fischor called for
writing material and wrote their tlast
statements, butKngcl sat on his bed
anil did not write, J to drank three
glasses of port wine, but the others
declined stimulants. The prisoners'
wives were refused admittance.
Fischer began singing "The Marseil
laise," in which the others joined.
Thoy flatly refused all religious con
versation, and prepared for their
march to tho gallows as if it werr a
holiday excursion. The men listened
without emotion to the reading of the
warrants of execution, two of them
only roplying that it was judicial mur
der. As tlic ropes and caps were
being adjusted, Spies hissed: 'There
will eoino a time when our silcnco will
bo inoro powerful than the voices
they are strangling to dcatlr" Im
mediately after Eugel shouted:
'Hurrah for Anarchy!" Fischer
followed with: "Hurrah for An
urchy; this is the happiest moment of
my lite." I'arsons asked permission
to speak, but tho drop was sprung
nml tho four men were hanging by
their necks, writhing in the agonies
of death. None of their necks were
broken; they all strangled to death.
May all such tlends be thus disposed
of.

'JJ1F WAG OX 110 A I) 1NVESTI-
EDITOR, i An important decision by General
I Land Commissioner Sparks, with ref
erence to certain school lauds in King
county, W. T., was received by the
county commissioners, recently,
through the local laud office. The
decision affects school lands wherever
' located under similar conditions mid
J is of general interest. It may be
readily understood by reference to the
circumstances leading up to it. Some
years ago u school section near New
castle was "jumped," on the ground
that the land contained valuable coal
deposits which arc subject to disposi
tion only under the laws governing
mineral lands. This claim was sus
tained, and also other liko claims sub
sequently made. The county com
missioners then applied to the local
land oflice for permission to select
other lauds by way of indemnity.
This was done. The present decision
denies the right to indemnity lands,
and wipes out the right to school
sections in townships where the sec
tions originally indicated for school
purposes were located.

The Harney Valley Items says in a
recent issue:
Knowing this country as we do, we
would be exceedingly slow about
swearing that the road is or ever was
u good one, when in fact there never
was n toad at all. Wo can now see
how it is that great corporations suc
ceed in stoaling away the homes of
settlers; it is a question of evidence,
and they have peculiar talent for Had
ing just such evidence as ;thoy need.
Wo regret exceedingly that tho people
of Oregon do not know all the facts
with reforeneo to this groat swindle,
in order that thoy might, henceforth
know exactly how much weight to
give evldeuco of certain parties who
may bo called upon the witness stand
to give testimony against their neigh
bors. Wo aro iu favor of corporations
having their rights, but wo tiro most
certainly opposed to allowing them
on the evidence of irresponsible wit
nesses to steal from tho settlors their
homes and (heir all when thero is not
oven u shadow of an excuse fur doing
60.
Lnuiau has become exceedingly
wroth at-Sparks, and asserts that ouo
or tho other must resign. Wo are in
hopes that Sparks will keep on the
oven tenor of his way and allow the
windbag to oxplodo himself if ho
wants to. If thero over was a man,
who in his olliclal position has proven
himself upright, honorable and above
corruption, it is Sparks. We have
no men, like him, to spare.
