' SALT LAKE CITT, Nov. 19.
Joseph Hillstrom was executed by
shooting here today for the murder
of John O. Morrison, a grocer, and
his son, Arllng, who were killed In
Morrison's store, January 10, 1914.
Hlllstrom's case attracted wide at
tention, baring been once reopened
by the pardon board at the request
of President Wilson on behalf of the
Swedish minister.
A second request for fruther con
sideration, made by the president,
waa declined yesterday by Governor
William Spry, supported by the par
don board, on the ground that it
would be an unwarranted Interfer
ence with Justice.
"Fire! Let her go!" were Joseph Hlll
atrom's last words, uttered an Instant be
fore the rifles of the firing squad ended
Ms life at 7:41 o'clock this morning;. Al
though he was self-possessed and as
sorted his innocence when he faced his
executioners, Hlllitrom had a sensational
nervous collapse Just previously when he
tied the door of ' his cell 1 at the state
prison with strips tern from his blankets
and fought the guards fiercely with the
an attendant in the corridor.
Tlc Door of Ilia Oil.
Hlllstrom's outburst was unexpected.
He retired calmly last night and remained
apparently In sleep until early this morn
ing. He arose about 4 o'clock and begaq
to shake the cell door, shrieking as if in
a nlgh.tmn.re. The noise reached the out
side guard, who turned .in a general
alarm, bringing all the prison officers to
the scene. The prison physician endeav
ored, with sight success, to quiet him.
It was decided not to interfere with him
until necessary, and he was not disturbed
until the time arrived to take him to the
scene of the esecujicn... When tho guards
arrived for -this purpose HUlatrom fought

"Joe, this is all nonsense" said Corleas.
"What do you mean? Tou promised to
die like a man."
Hillstrom hesitated a moment and then
yielded. "Well. I'm through," he sajd.
"But you can t blame a man for fight
ing for hla life."
The blanket atiina he hmA t a tn ih
door were cut, he vu blindfolded
and led to the place of execution, sup
ported by two guards. He talked inces
santly in the few momenta that elapsed
between the time of hla arrival and the
firing of death volley. He asked whether
any of his friends were in the firing
scruad and kept saying he was innocent
and would die like a man. His voice was
clear, but low. He was quickly adjusted
to the death chair, and. as the attendaats
drew aside, HUlstrocn straightened him
self In the chair and said "I'll die like
a man, I never did any wrong in my
life. I die fighting, not like a coward.
Well I'm going. Good-bye everybody."
The word to fire was given and the re
ports of the rifles came an Instant after
Hlllstrom'a final words "Let her go!" He
died Instantly.'

GOV. M0REH.EAD IS TO SPEAK
Another and determined effort is
to be made to get tho federal gov
ernment interested in a project to
conserve the waters of western Ne
braska for use in moistening tho
soil for crop purposes and at the
same time to keep tho water from
flooding; the lower rivers.
A big meeting of all men inter
ested Is called for Monday noon at
the Commercial club. It will be in
the form of a public affairs lunch

John H. Morehead and ex-Mayor C.

of ths state as well as business men

are Interested in the movement because
they feel it would mean bigger and bet

flood waters coOld be conserved in this
way, while at the same time the hold
ing of these flood waters wnuM n
long way toward preventing floods tn ths
lower Missouri and Mississippi rivera.
The plan is that this scheme should
ha worked out In various ooimtlcs ajid
In. .various states eventually on R very
large seals. Of course, a conservation
of ths flood waters qf two or throe Coin
Uea would not prevent floods, but It Is
believed by competent engineers , that
sucn conservation .of the, waters in, ths
semi-arid counties on a very large scale
ooverlng a great area of a half dosen
or more states, would not only Insure
better crops In those regions, but would
be a positive factor In helping to pre
vent tha great floods that each year
devastate ths lower Mississippi valley.
Endorsed by Commercial t'lnb.
It is for this reason that the plan
aasumss interstate, or national Impor
tance. It la for- thla reason that an
effort Is made to get federal aid on ths
matter. The Commercial club of Omaha
last summer Indorsod the stand taken
by Gosper, Phelps and Kearney counties
on ths matter and lent its moral sup
port to a movement to get part of the
waterways appropriation of the federal
government for auch a scheme.
Ths meeting Monday in Omaha Is to
be another big booster meeting along
this line, and proper representations ara
again to be made to the next congress.
