from Dusseldorf at 8.30 o'clock
Tuesday morning for a three hours'
excursion. The objective point was
Dortmund, about 30 miles from Dusseldorf,
but a high head wind prevailed
and an effort was made to
reach Muostpr. a. gurrUu>n town, so
that a lauding might be made on the
parade grounds.
It was dangerous to attempt a
landing in au open field, because of
the storm, as the metal was likely to

refused to work and the other two

ftuy progress in the gale. The air

gusts and sometimes leaning to an
angle of 4 0 degrees, and all the

this was done all four screws were
driven uuder full power, with which
uiuler normal conditions, the ship
was able to make 4 0 miles an hour.

keep 'his course, as the great crat
was h? ung about at the mercy of th
winds.
Oolesmaun did not dare to turn
the ship around for fear of overturning,
and he decided to drift ' in the
gale which was now blovriug m Uie
rate of fifty miles an hour toward
Ostiabruck, which is also a garrison
town. If he iniatuul that be would
continue un to Seuie.
Suddenly he perceived a whirlwind
coming and ascended to a height of
nearly 4.000 feet to avoid the worst

Mrs. Hamilton came to Richmond
with her children to Intercede with
the governor for the commutation of
Hamilton's sentence.
The crime for which Hamilton was
electrocuted was committed in Lynchburg,
Va., June LI. 1909. Hamilton
had been infatuated with the
woman and she had sought to free!
herself from him. On that night
Mrs. liix went to a dance. llamilton
followed her to the hall. On
the way home Hamilton shot her I
several times. He was 2f> year of

tlilld 1 Jitxir.
Rver since Sir Robert Reel in 1 802 |
introduced and carried the that legislation
to limit the hours of labor
for children the question of child \
labor lias been to the Tront. The |
realization that the employment of
children of tender years is detrimen- |
la! to their physical mental and
moral welfare, and therefore to thai
of society in general has led to one |
restriction after another l>eing imposed
by most of the states in the
union and by nations generally. As
a consequence many of the abusei
incident to child labor have been,
ither materially lessened or entirely
removed. Yet facts are constantly
coming to light showing that even
today many thousands of cn.ldren,
many of them hut little more thin
infants, are working In factories or
in close, ill-ventilated tenements. 1
What that means as to health and 1
morals no one ran fail to see. Those
children should he at school, developing
their minds, and living under
conditions whrehy their whole
heing may he advauc d. That this is
not the case is a reproach to our
humanity. Of course the immediate
responsibility for these condition
rests with those employers who pay
such starvation wages, 'specially in
some industries, that every member
of the family has to help u. k?ep
body and soul together. i'n. principal
suffers from this cupi li'v are the
foreign born people in our lace cit
ics who, being ignorant of AiroiI mii
customs and laws, art* casM> :>
posed upon. Hut no state can, in
its own interests, afford to have sueii
conditions continue. The well-being
of any state and community depends
ii|>on the physical and other wellbeing
of its citizens. It requires
no great discernment to ouUistand
that children whose whoo being is
stunted by hard work can ever '?ecoine
strong, healthy an-' do ;l aid?
men and women. .

Frantically defiant, even while
the shadows of death closed arouuJ
him, and volley after volley from
the new Springfield rifles of two
State militia companies made a
solve of the walls of his humble
home. \V. H. llo?t wick, a white
desperado at Irwinvllle, Oa., who
observed his Inst Sunday on eartn
by the murder of two officers of
the law and the serious wounding
of three others, paid the penalty o;
death shortly after 5 o'clock Monday
morning. He succumbed to muny
woundg received from the volleys
fired into the building early during
the night by a mob of int'nrlated
citizens or from those of the
military, which began an attack after
four o'clock Monday morning
Almost at the same moment Sheriff
J. P. Mclnis of Irwin County, who
was wounded Sunday, while making
a desperate attempt to remove a
wounded fellow officer from the
deadly Are of Host wick, expired. J.ts.
Oill, another officer, was added
to the list of wounded during the
early fusilade Monday morning,
but it is beleived he will recover.
Surrounded by his Rix little

almost to the end of the selge. Hostwick,
who had declared his lnten
nun oi aying rnuier than submit
to arrest 011 the charRe of attempting
to murder his brother-in-law.
fought the battle to the last ditch.
Knowing that death was near, the
desperate man finally allowed the
fear stricken children to leave the
house. However, after they were
under the protection of the military
officers, they refused to talk of
the events of the night.
Capt. Chas. A. Delang, 'commanding
the {Fitzgerald Guards, described
the uneven battle of one
desperate man against an equally
determined host in a vivid manner.
Capt. Delatig's original instruc- j
tions from Adjt. Gen. Scott were to
await the arrival of the AlbanyGuards
before taking any steps to
capture Hostwick.
Upon arriving at Boatwick's
home, however, he found ?he mob
in such a temper that he deemed
immediate action absolutely necessary.
He first called upon Bostwicx
to surrender, offering him protection
from the mob, but the demand was
stoutly refused, even though accompanied
by a threat to take the besieged
man dead or alive. The officer
then demanded that the children
be allowed to leave the house, hut
Hostwick also refused this demand.
rh? n*i~
. iiv Hue urn's naa spent the entire
night huddled close to the floor
rearing at any moment that they
would be the victim ot bullets from
the guns of the enraged people.
Capt. Delang ordered his men to
Are a volley into the roof of the
house, following which another demand
for surrender and release 01
the children was made upon Hostwick,
who replied with a shot from
one of the three weapons, with which
he was armed. Then came anothei
volley from the soldiery, which caused
Hurt wick to ark that the lives
of the children be not endangered.
The six childreu were then permitted
to leave the house, and were
taken iu charge by the soldiers. They
would answer no questions. The
oldest daughter. Jennie, who had
spent the long night attempting to
shield the younger children, cried
because one ot tin* younger bo>s had
been forced to leave the house without
his trousers, and the oldest hoy
was ill.
The children heiug taken co a

demanded that Hostwick surrender,
hut the only reply wan a shot from
the heseiged man. Then the soldiers
tired a volley into tJhe lower portion
of the house. . A moment later officers
observed that a shingle hud
been removed from the roof, this
probahiy being done by Host wick in
order to fire to better advantage.
A hail of lead was thrown into the
roof, followed by a thud, which indicated
that Hostwick had fallen to
the floor. Observers then called attention
to the fact that an object
was seen moving tdi rough a hole in
the floor, and a volley was fired in
that direction. A rush of the troops
was then directed, the belief being
that Hostwick had lieen injured,
but this, was stopped by a shot from
the building, which struck James
Hill, who was cared for by a physician.
Oelnng's men then fired into the
building several times. Several men
then attempted to enter the building,
but were greeted bj a final shot from
Hoatwick. The Albany company
then arrived on the scene and u rn?.h
upon the building was made from all

open and Bostwick was found upon
the floor and although he had passed
the point of resistance, "ltd could
not even give utterane to
thoughts, the expression on his features
was oue of death defying determination.
He had foyg-ht the
battle of life and death and lost, but
if his superhuman nerve failed hiiu
once there was no indication of the
fact. . Death claimed the desperado
shortly after the final rush of the
troops.
The Sabbath day tragedies and the
final battle scene occurred four miles
weal of Irwinville. In the crowd
that eathered around tiie beseiged
home were tile moat prominent women
of the community. These did
not remain at the scene for the purpose
of witnessing bloodshed, but
their hearts went out to the children
who were forcibly confined in the
home. There were stern, determined
faces in that crowd of fully five
hundred mothers. many of whom
would have defied the deadly fire of
the Springfield's before they would
have allowed one of the children to
be Injured.
The attitude of the women resulted
from a misunderstanding of
orders issued by Adjt. Gen. Scott,
who instructed the two companies
not to fire from a distance and endanger
the children. This misunderstanding
of the orders caused
Governor Joseph M. llrown to be
the recipient of many telegrams of
protest during the day.
Immediately following Hostwick's
death a coroner's jury was empanelled
to Investigate the tragedy. The
verdict was that Host wick killed
himself in order to prevent being
captured. Whether he died from
self-lntUcted woutii's. received the
wounds <luring the tight with citizens
I or succumbed to the fire of the
Springfields may never be known.
The children doubtless know whether
the father was wounded before
t.he arrival of the soldiery, but they
would make no statement.
Many acts of heroism wete recorded
during the bloody Beige, most
notable among these being that of
Sheriff Mclnnis. Seeing his deputy.
T. C. Bans. fall, and thinking he was
mortally wounded. Sheriff Mclnnis
rushed from cover and took llass to
a place of safety, and in so doing
J-eceived the wound which caused
his death.
He then proceeded to a neighbor- (
ing telephone and attempted to coiumunieaie
wiuh Adjt. Gen. Scott, at
Atlanta. He wan unable to talk. I
however, and in whispers dictated
the message which caused the Adjutant
General to order out the I
troops.
Bust wick literally died with his
"boots on." and not until his ammunition,
which he had retrenched
by forcing one of his children to face '
the ftre of the mob and take a pistol
and cartridges from the body of
one of the dead soldiers, was exhausted,
did he cease tiring. Almost
in his last breath, be sent one
tinal shot in the direction of the invaders.
