POEN1X, Arlz.—Star Daley, who'
Ikllled Janies Ray Gibson, a traveling1
|salesman, near Mesa, eighteen miles
least of this city, last Thursday night. |
| was taken from deputy sheriffs at 4 1
o’clock yesterday morning this side of1
{Florence and hanged by a party of
iPhoeniz and Florence citizens.
The deputies were spiriting Daley,]
ialias Ashmore, from the county jail in
jthis city to the penitentiary.
An attempt was made early Satur
day evening to remove Daley from the
'Jail, but it was abandoned by the of
ificials. who learned that the road to
;
Florence was being watched at several
{points, learning later that a crowd
was forming here to take him from
{the jail, the officials soon after mid
night removed him quietly and put
jhim into an automobile.
Hundred Autos in Oiase
The chase was begun within five
'minutes and 100 automobiles were
soon tearing after the deputies' car.
They lost it on the desert and passed
{it, but later it was hemmed in a short
{distance this side of Florence. The
{deputies, protesting but not resist
ing. gave up the prisoner, who was
I taken fourteen miles b^ck on the
| Florence-Mesa road and hanged to
!a telephone pole.
| On the way from the place of his
(capture to the scene of his execu
tion. Daley related in sickening de
(tail the circumstances of the killing
iof Gibson and subsequent events, cor
roborating the story of Mrs. Gibson.
(He gave a list of crimes committed
iby him, including three murders, par
ticipation in a robbery and a train of
(minor offenses.
1 While waiting in jail here in ex
i
ipectation of an assault, he had wept
.and begged the sheriff to save him,
but alter *his capture he was calm
until just before the adjustment of
the noose, which he had shown a by
stander how to make. Then he fell
into a fit of weeping. When all was
ready one of the party asked him
(if he wanted to pray. He sank to the
ground sobbing and his executioners
,in concert recited the Lord's prayer,
i Hears Death by Noose
| Daley asked that his neck might he
(broken and that he he not strangled
to death. After the rope was fastened
to the telephone pole and adjusted to
(the neck of Daley, he was elevated
to the top of an automobile and the
'machine was driven from under him.
(After his fall a physician in the mob
said that he still had a pulse, but he
1 believed his neck was broken. The
.automobiles were driven away, leav
ing the body hanging to he cut down
by Pinal county authorities, who ar
rived after daybreak.
Victims on Auto lour
1 Mr. Gibson and his wife were trav
eling by automobile over the Apache
,trail from Tuscon to Phoenix when
|Gibson was killed. They made camp
Thursday night near Mesa. During the
night Daley entered their camp, and
,after visiting a short time shot Gib
son to death. Then, according to the
account given by Mr. Gibson he at
tacked her.
j The next morning, she later told
jofficer who arrested Daley, he com
pelled her to enter the automobile
jwith him and start for Phoenix, but
Daley finally yielded to her pleading
and consented to take Gibson's body
| to Mesa for burial.
Tells About Killing
Upon their arrival at Mesa, Mrs.
-Gibson told of the killing of her hus-1
I band and of the indignities to which!
i she had been subjected at the hands
of her husbands slayer, and Daley!
I was arrested. He was brought to j
|Phoenix and lodged in the countyj
| jail last night.
Mrs. Gibson’s story of her mistreat
intent at Daley's hands after her hus-;
| band had been killed aroused indig-1
nation, and threats of lynching tlic|
prisoner were made, but these did not |
-assume alarming proportions until
; Saturday.
The Gibsons lived at Tuscon.
I Daley was a white man, about 24
|years of age, and said he was a desert
1 er front the regular army. He said lrts
; relatives live in Oklahoma, where he
had lived when a boy. Just before
ithe hanging, Daley asked for a drink
!of whisky, but there was not a drop!
iof liquor in the crowd.

SIX SIDED SNOW CRYSTALS.
That la Natura's Law, but Why It la '
•o Scianca Cannot Explain. j
snow crystals obey on Immutable i
law of six. They ore six sided Jewels'1
or six pointed stars. They never an
awer to the law of four or five. Snow j
is crystallized water, and water always
crystallizes In six sided forms. Why?
No one ever will know. There Is no !
more apparent reason for the slxness
of crystallized water than there is for l
the inouoclinic prisms of sugar crys- .
tais. Water and sugar and the coin
plex minerals which make the granite '
rock all follow laws which are utter
ly unchangeable, but which are. as far !
as we can see. without any special- rea
son. It is as profitable to speculate
why the chlorophyll of vegetation is j
green and why the blood of animals is
red.
i lie whiteness "t the snow is under
standable. It is due to the fusion of
prismic colors scintillating from the
countless surfaces of minute crystals. ,
iluman science comprehends this. It
also comprehends the fact that snow
is a poor conductor of heat and thus ;
prevents terrestrial radiation and keeps
the earth and the things in the earth :
sung and warm under the white blan- >
ket which is softer and finer than :
lamb's wool or eiderdown. Science !
knows why snow is white mid why it j
is beneficent, hut it cannot explain*the
law of six.
It is well that snow cannot he al
together explained. It is one of the
earth's most beautiful mysteries. It
would lose something in beauty were
it to lose all its mystery.—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
BANKS “LOAN” MONEY.
They Don’t "Lend” It Because It Is a
Business Transection.
Why is it bunking bouses always
"loan" their huge sums of*mouey. uev
er by any chance "leini" tbein'.' "I«eud"
Is tbe true verb, while "loan’’ was ex
clusively the noun. How came it about
that "to loan" has uniformly suppluut
eiJ "to lend’:”
The purists make a great fuss about
this. They insist that tbe stupid aid
untaught linuucial world 1ms foisted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was ueeded. when
! the ancient and established usage was
| fixed in the signification of "to lend."
But prior to the modern development
of business enterprise when money
was lent it was bestowed upon the bor
! lower either for temporary use with
; out compensation, as a mark of favor
or patronage, or by the professional
money lender who. taking advantage
I of persons in extremities of need, de
, manded usurious interest. This Anglo
. Saxon verb today retains its ancient
j connotation. When it was coined the
productive powers of money were un
known and the wealth of rich men
was locked up for safety and kept out
of tbe channels of commerce.
Nowadays, by devices of credit and
rapid intercommunication, it is kept
constantly working in productive en
terprises. immense loans are made, no
longer to relieve the necessitous and
the improvident, but to stimulate in
dustry and to enable tbe borrower as
well as the loaner to reap a prolit in his
transactions. Money is “loaned" in this
sense. It is not lent.—New York Times
The People of India.
The population of India speak about
150 different languages and are divid
ed up info forty-three distinct nation
alities. There are -\578 main castes
besides a large number of subcastes
There are -00.000.000 Hindus. 00.000.
000 Mohammedans, while among the
Hindus there are 50.000.000 of degrad
ed |>eople of no caste, whose touch or
even shadow is supposed to cause pol
lution.
Limited iu number, but mighty in in
tiuenee. are the F’arsees. who hold the
wealth of Bombay in the hollow of
their hands and dwell in the loveliest
mansions around the coast. They con
form to European customs and live as 1
much like Europeans as is possible for j
a colored race. Vet these people still
worship the sun.
The Seychelles Island*.
The Seychelles inlands form an archi
pelago of 114 islands and are situated
about 1.400 miles east of Aden and
1.000 miles from Zauzibaf. They rise
steeply out of the sea. culminating in
the isle of Mahe. which is about 3.000
feet above the level of tlie ocean and
is nearly the center of the group. All
the islands are of coral growth. The
houses are built of a species of mas
sive coral hewn into square blocks
which glisten like white marble.
