Nick Hurley was (lie village sot l'n-
-marrled, unincumbered and possessed
i't an Independent. Income, hfl Indulged
himnolf In gaming until he went broke,
in drink until he went to the dogs, and
In evil company until he went to the
gallows where Ood made hare his arm
to vindicate and make a man of lilin.
On a drizzly night In autumn N'lck
Trent to hlii uncle's "lore about an
hour before cloning time to borrow
money to pay a "debt of honor." When
he mentioned the name of bin creditor
hit uncle grew purple with Indigna
tion nnd declared he would see thorn
toth In torment before he would lend
a cent for such a purpoHe. Nick slng
l.ered away applying himself to bin
b(4.tle for comfort. In the wet night
outside he met a friend to whom he
offered a drink. The friend refused
Ihe drink, but remembered the bottle,
which wo 8 a square pint flunk, half
full of dark red whiskey In which
'tented four or five (bin strips of lem
on. About an hour later Nick's undo
ii ml another man panned Nick on a
corner near the llaptlsl church. Nick
was talking to (be man to whom he
owed the money, striving to placate
him with promlBes full of wheedling,
maudlin humility. The man was ob
durate In his demands. With a nnsty
ontlt he declare tliut Nick was a liar,
lils f'lther a liar, his mother a liar
nnd, to be brief, his whole family con
nection and ancestry unworthy of
truet or credence.
Nick straightened up with a pitiful
show of drunken dignity. "Wha'sher
kliay 'bout me 'shall rl' " he hiccough
fid. "Hu'sher mushn't talk 'bout my
rmixzher. I'll go' my knife an' cu'sher
heart In two for that"
The next morning a small boy found
tbe body of Nick's creditor lying In a
shallow, red gulley near the town. A
Vnlfe protruded from his breast, and
tbe blade was In his heart. Nearby
was a square pint flask in which sev
eral strip of lemon floated In a few
ounces of dark red whiskey. The
knife was Nick Hurley's. In the mud
shout tbe body were footprints, and
these led to the door of the little one
roomed cabin where Nick slept. Nick
lay across the bed in all bin clothes In
the profqund stupor of drunkenness.
Ills white shirt was stained with
blood, bis shoes were caked with mud
of the Bame color as that where the
body lay, nnd the mud was streaked
with blood. The marshal removed
one of the shoes. ' It fit exactly In the
tracks that led away from the body.
Hurley came to his senses that night
In the town Jail. The next day the
magistrate committed him for trial
without ball, charged with murder In
the first degree.
Thero was talk of lynching; but
Hurley protested his Innocence. Of
this bis mother, an aged Methodist of
tho snlnllleRt type, was first convinc
ed. Her outnpoken conviction con
vince others. Still others came to
hope for tbe Bon's acquittal through
sympathy for the mother. The great
er number believed that Ilurley had
committed the crime, to which his
mind bad been stirred by tho Insult to
IiIh mother while drunk and uncon
scious of his dreadful act.
Hurley's lawyer projected the de
fense nlniig this line. If tho man was
unconscious of his act, wan he really
ruiltyT Tho district attorney piled up
the evidence. The bottle picked up In
the gulley was Identified by tbe man
to whom Nick had offered a drink, a
score of men swore Hint the knife
found In the heart of the murdered
than belonged to Hurley. Hurley ad
mitted it himself. Ills uncle reluctant
ly testified to the threat he had over
heard. Then there were the shoes.
Tho argument bused tin Nick's condi
tion was met with the declaration
that, were It allowed, any man who
wished to commit murder might get
drunk and do so with Impunity. Tbe
Judge. r-aiuphaslr,cd this In his
charge. Within ten minutes the Jury
returned a verdict of guilty.
Nick's lawyer moved for a new trial,
which was overruled. An appeal was
taken, but the supreme court sus
tained the sentence. Hurley's uncle
circulutel a petition for commutation
of tho sentence, but the governor re
fused to consider It
Then Nick Hurley sent for bis
mother. What passed between them
was never known; but all that night,
on bis knees In Ills cell, Nick Ilurley
cried up past the marching stars to
God, and nil that night a light burned
in the mother's room at the Burley
home and late passers beard the
sound of hitter boIib. The Jailer, when
be brought the prisoner's breakfast,
remarked that, no matter what a man
had done, God ought to hear such
praying and let him die In peace.
"I inn not going to die,'" declared
Nick. .
'What do you mean?" askud the
Jailer.
"God Almighty won't let me die. He
knows I am Innocent."
Hy night tho county know thut, over
the bends of all human courts and
governors, Nick Burley had appealed
bis cause to God. It stirred men.
Those who had tried to lynch him
came pounding at Nick Hurley's prls
i;n door, demanding his release. A
second petition bearing the name of
nearly every voter In the county went
up to the governor, asking a pardon.
Tho pardon board rejected the peti
tion. Hurley heard tbe news and
smiled. "I am Innocent," he said.
' God Almighty won't let them hang
me."
The day of execution arrived. In a
meadow near the town the gallows
waited. Before daylight wagons from
thy country came rattling In. Hy 9
o clock a dense mass of humanity was
packed about the scaffold. At 11 the
18 clerks and rounders who com
posed the local militia came marching
through tbe empty streets, followed by
a wagon In which, on a rough pine
coffin sat the condemned man. When
the crowd sighted this dismal proces
sion, a shout went up: "God bless you,
Nick!"
"Sny tho word and we'll turn you
looBe,"
"Die game, old boy."
Nick waved bis hand. ."Ood Al
mighty ain't going to let me die."
The crowd went mad,
He mounted tho scaffold while tbe
soldiers formed a square about the
base. Tho sheriff bound his wrists
and ankles.
"I ain't going to take any chances
with you," he said. "If you want to
say anything to the crowd, say It But
for heaven's sake don't start anything.
I'll shoot you If you do, and a dozen
good men'll be dead before It Is ended.
"1 don't need to start anything,"
mlled Nick. He raised his voice and
addressed the crowd. "I haven't got
much to sny, I never did it. I am
ttustln,; in my mother's God, and 1
am going to come through somehow.
He nln't going to let me die."
A murmur arose, but died as the
Method minister came forward and
began to pray. Tho sheriff adjusted
the black cap. Men groaned. A child
begun to cry. A woman fainted. The
trap snapped, Hurley's body Bhot
downward nnd tbe rupo tightened with
a sickening Jerk. Thnso near tho scat
fold bear a report like a piHtol shot
They saw the sheriff Bwing through
tbe Iran nnd tear away the rone from
Hurley'B IhroiU. Then came Hurley's
voice bobbing triumphantly: "I told
you God wouldn't let me die."
Some one shouted tlmt the rope had
broken.
The crowd surged forward.
A wave of closely packed human
It) swept tbe thin fringe of militia
aside anil pinned tbe sheriff against
'.lie timbers of tho gallows. A rough
Under Jack thrust a hngh fist beneath
tbe sheriff's nose and yelled that they

The sheriff raised his band for si
lence.' "Friends " he cried, "they may
send me to Jail. I am sure to be Im
peached. Hut all the Judges In this
world could not make me hang that
man again.
Nick Burley never slept In Jail
agnln. An order was obtained for stay
of sentence, and the pardon board re
opened the esse. Before the day set
for the rehearing arrived Nick's uncle
died confessing to the crime. Had
blood existed between him and the
murdered man. Nick's drunken threat
suggested a safe way to vengeance.
He entered the shanty, removed the
unconscious man's shoes, put them on
his own feet, possessed himself of his
knife and whiskey flask, committed
the crime, left the shoes on the sleep
er's feet, and slipped away, leaving
sufficient circumstantial evidence to
convict In any court.
The Sunday after the confession
was made public, Nick Hurley, with
his pardon in one hand and the other
resting In his mother's loving clasp,
followed her down the aisle of her
church to take upon himself the boI
enin vows of her1 religion. Nor wns he
ever thereafter untrue to his mother's
God. Christian Advocate.
X-RAYS AND SMILES.
The Progressives made a strong bid
for the women's votes In the equal
isuffrnge states, and there was even
wisdom In selecting the vice-president.
That name should carry the southern
states for the big majority of the ne
groes could easily be made to believe
that Roosevelt's running mate is .lack
.'ohnson.
The horse editor cheerfully admits
that he Is not an admirer of RooHevelt
but he does appreciate poetry, no mat

rhythm and says something. That Is
the reason he gladly gives space to
the little gem written by MIbs Duffle
Boylan, which appears In this Issue.
It Is fine. ,

The Oregonlan this morning edito
rially calls attention to omissions In
Roosevelt's "confession of faith." The
list Is long and decidedly Interesting.

The general officers of the Oregon
militia seem to be about as uncertain
about obeying their own orders, as
tbe second battalion was,

Anyway the convicts In the Oregon
pen can do more than lots of us fel

Shade trees are fine, but that Is no
reason they should be allowed to grow

MRS. JOSEPH LlfitilTT
DROWNS IN' COAST FORK
The Cottage Grove Sentinel, of
Thursday, August 8, says:
Shortly after sending herl4-year-old
daughter for a pjiyslclnn, the body of
Mrs. Joseph Llggltt was found float
ing in the Icy waters of the Coast Fork
of the Willamette Just above the Cur-
rin bridge a few minutes after 9
o'clock yeBterday morning. When the
body was recovered from the waters,
almost an hour after, life was extinct.
Mrs. Llggltt had been ailing for sev
eral months and had haunted the
hanks of the river for several days. It
is believed that mental depression,
caused by worrying over her sickness,
caused her to wade Into the water and
end It all. No one saw her enter the
water, although one man claims to
have seen her sitting with her feet In
the water and holding her head in her
hands a short time before found dead,
but the fact that she was foun In the
river so soon after sending for med
ical aid lends credence to the suicide
theory.
