HILLSTROM FIGHTS GUARDS ON WAY TO DEATH CHAIR Salt Lake City, Utah., Nov. 19. With a mocking cry of "Fire; let 'er go," Joe Hillstrom, itinerant poet and I. W. W. leader, at sunrise received four bullets in his heart from a firing squad. This was the state's penalty for what Gov. Spry told President Wil son, in refusing further leniency, was "one of the most brutal murders ever done in Utah." Hillstrom died fighting. A model prisoner up to the moment his guards went to his cell in the lull before day break to lead him to the prison yard, the condemned man suddenlysprang. upon his guards with the fury of a tiger. He wielded a broomhandle that in some mysterious way he had secreted in his cell One of the guards was beaten down. All showed marks of Hillstrom's dying wrath as they stalked beside him to his place of death. Hillstrom had asked to be permit ted to look into the rifle barrels from which his death was to spurt. The request was refused. Even after the bandage was on his eyes and heavy straps pinned his arms to sides. Hill strom struggled for sight With Hillstrom strapped into the big congress chair, Sheriff Corless shouted: "Aim." Hillstrom, who had been quiet sev eral minutes, galvanized the nerves of the witnesses and all but precipi tated a bungled execution by curling his lips in derision and shouting: "Fire; let 'er go." Only for the difference in voices, probably two of the guards might have fired, for two gun barrels point ing ominously through the apertures in the door were seen to waver and then settle. Sheriff Corless quickly grabbed the cue given by the doomed man him self. Almost before Hillstrom's high pierced shriek had died away, the sheriff's voice echoed: "Fire." It happeaed so guicklyj HilLstrom'-S head sagged to his breast with that learing grin still on his lips. All four bullets had pierced Hill strom's heart The fifth rifle, ac cording to practice, contained a blank cartridge. ANNOUNCEMENTS Douglas Park branch Y. P. S.
