Patrick McGinnis, the Grant county murderer, was hanged at Canyon City last Friday. The Baker Democrat says of tho execution: "One o'clock p. m. was the hour named in the death wairant for the execution, and when the hour drew nigh, the prisoner with all shaklc removed in company with the sheriff and his deptuties and Itev Father llenriek of Baker City, proceeded to the scutl'old at tho rear of the jail. Those who expected to see McGinnis display weakness were disappointed, for instead of being assisted to inonnt the btairs he stepped in advace of the guards and hounded up the steps as though eternity were only a few short minutes. Upon being asked by Slierill' Gray if he hnd anything to say, he protested bin in nocence and declared that ho was not the murderer of Hubert Lockwood. His hands were strapped to his sides, his feet secured the noose adjusted and the black cap drawn over his face, when after a short prayer by the priori, the soul of Patrick McGinnis was launched into tho great world beyond, where if guilty his protestations of inno cence only increase his condemnation. The drop was sprungat 1 :15, and in 22 minu tes Dr. Hoislcy and Scott pronounced life extinct and the body was lowered and plac ed in the coilin. The victim's neck was not broken, but death was caused by stranculation, although nota movement or struggle was perceptible at any time." I'ntil liuiilou Cuiiqtniiy.

Williams to go there and deliver a lecture. Here was the result as narrated by a local paper: "Hon. Geo. II. Williams' lecture at the Congre gational church last Tuesday night was very poorly attended. The lecture was a very cool and logical argument and would rank high as a literary effort, but as a card todraw sbccklcs out of unwilling pockets it was a lamentable failure. If the church is still desirous of raising money to pay for in organ, we. advise them to hire a minstrel troupe or give a scries of match base ball games something that the average citizen will appreciate."
