BRCT1L JICROER.
- Itemizer, July 9.
Thursday luorning about 1 M Wtwoen 40
and 50 men rode into Dallas, coming over
tbe bill north of town and cussing tbe open
and covered bridges in front of Henry Ha
good's place. Some were on horses, some iu
buggies and esrringes and the rent in wagons.
From s party who saw them at the covered
bridge we learn that when tbe first of the
crowd were crossing the covered bridge the
rear cud had not croaard the open bridge,
which is about 100 yards diidnut from the
covered one, thus it can be surmised the
body was s solid one, 100 yards long. Hardly
a word was nttered, every oue of the party
seemed to have received orders to keep their
months shut. Wheuerer anylhiug was said
or done it was at the command of said cap
tain or leader. Oue man with a shotgun
was dropped off at this end of the bridge.
The party came right up Main street, paus
ing Johuuie Uiubardaou aud V. M. OUluam
iu front of the hotel. Tliev then proceeded
to the northwest corner of the county jail,
in the meautiue placing an armed guard at
Henry Howe's, oue at the old skaliug, oue at
I'ies & Smith's, aud another 100 yards below
the jaij. Tbe party dismonuted, tools were
thrown out of the wagon, saddle nones
lluced on tbe right aud left of the jail, aud
the vehicles in f rout of it and a little to tbe
left. The jail was then circled by men a few
feet apart and about sixty feet from the jail.
Each one of the party had a shot gun and
some also had revolvers. The party who
circled the prison pointed the muzzles of
their guns st tne upper windows, aonie oi
the parties then smashed in the sash snd
glass of the lower right hand window. In
side of this window are iron bars about six
inches apart. One of these was knocked
slightly, cut off with a cold chisel snd bent
back. Tbe nut on two more were knocked
off. It appears the crowd thought this too
slow work, so a heavy instmineut (from tbe
mark on the door It looked like tne ena oi a
sledge hammer) was placed againat tha key
hole of the door and a heavy blow with
another sledge struck. This had the effect
of bending back the socket that held the bolt
of tbe Iocs and tbe door swung open.
About eight of them entered. 1 he ground
contains nothing bat a furnace and a few
odds snd ends. An open stairway leads np
tbe west end of the building on the inside to
a heavy six-iocb door, which leads to the
corridor of the sil (roper, tbe cells being
placed ia the smout el lie srper coor witn
lbs eomJof ntizz aroou utree sum oi
them.
The rio!ai t-i Ii sun so 'fc steps

The leader thea tauJ nnoi ssaa l Harry
Denewl who wist tiiQ3iX 4Hi I..' LIT to open
tbe door. D- Aat at ai-''V him. The
work of cutting hss til kry Binges was
commenced. after tmCl fell andtr tbe
cold chisel. Woee .'un minutes bad
elapsed, some one of the party said: O d
it. this is too slow; let's blow the bloody
thing up." Hut the work oi cutting tne
bolts was continued, and in half an hour
from the time they first started on the door
it was swnne eneu on tbe bolts of the locks
Three or four rushed into the corridor with
cocked gnus sud jammed the muzzles up to
the bresst of Dopew, who by the way bud
nn arms on hia oerson. lie was ensured
that noihine would be done to him, the lead'
er remarking, "We've come for our man and
am coino to have him." The keys to tbe
ll warn demandsd and Denew hud no on
Uon in the matter he banded them over. The
ringleader took them, but banded tnoni oacx
to Depew saying, ."You have opened
the cell before and snow more atiout it than
we do snd yon open it now. 1 he ecu aoor
was opeued and three or four rushed in snd
Hntosed Kellv out of bed into the corridor.

door is riven below. One of the crowd see
ing a gash In his neck and bis shirt bloody
remsrked to Kelty, "Von wasn't uuick
nnnoh." meaning that he (Kelty) bad not
nnoeaded in killing himself before they sot
to him. Kelty was bleeding from three
wounds snd bod nothing on bim but his un
dershirt snd drawers. A noose was made in
anew three-quarter inoh rope snd it placed
around his neck cutting Into the bloody
gash. He was then led out like a cow to
the slsughter, he saying nothing. When the
ringleader led the way out of the main door
down stairs one of the guards said, 'Have

stop was made juat about where the ditch
pirn a and his hands were pinioned behind
his bsck with a piece of old rope about two
snd one-bolf feet long, ineytncn proceou
ed over to under the shadow of a limn of one
of the large osks in the court yard, which
extends over the fence and sidewalk to near
the ceuter of the rosd. Here a oircle wss
formed, with Kelty in the middle, every
man having bis finger on the trigger of his
5nn. Kelty at this time said, "I want to
ie, I don't care to live, but I bote to be
hanged by a mob." He repeated this sever
al times, snd In a week way, but in a very
resolute tone of voice. He was then told
that if be had anything to say he bad better
say it quick, lie lautu a lew minute uw
low for tbe parties who were watching the
whole boMness not more than s hundred
feet dintaut W hear, lie stopped, tbe end oi

InnWanked "AH nudy?" and wuvii-g an
affirmative reply said haul Lua np. K!ty
was hauled n about nva iei iron, u,n
grounds sud tbe other end of the ropo tied
to the fence. Tbe man was not hanged, he
was slowly strangled to death. His agony
was fesriul, the terrible workings of his body
shaking the immense tree to iU top, like as
if In s gale oi wiuu. iu m. wmui. muni
tions bis drswers came off and when be was
let down some time sfter be bad nothing on
bat bis short undershirt. So soon ss the
rope was tied to the fence the crowd wanted
to go, but the ring leader remarked, "No they
will be here and cut hisi down in two min
utes." After waitiug a few minutes, the
blacksmith tools were gathered np aud
thrown into a hack, snJ the rest all got
ready snd tbe crowd moved down Muin
ttreet. being Joined on the way down by the
guards. As they filed out of town the way
they came not lees than a dozen men saw
them as plain as if it bad been daylight.
While the crowd was bsnging Kelty, Depew
stood ia tbe doorwsy of the jail, not having
been told to stay back, but the general actions
of ths mob indicated thai it would be the
beet thing for him. Tbe parties who entered
the corridor of the jail were all masked but
one. As soon ss the crowd Mt the spot De
paw hastened aronnd to Sheriff Groves'
house, being joiued by Harry Coaper who
had seen tbe whole proceedings from begin
ning tn end from the porch of his house, not
more then loo feet from the scene of the
bunging. On returning to the snot Depew
immediately notified Corouor Kirkpatritk
who hastened to the spot snd examined pnlse.
Found bim dead. Ills head lay'on his breast
aud bis bare body was smeared with blood.
The coroner let him down snd carried him
into the ground floor of the jail. He found
that the left aide of Kelly's neck wss cat and
a number of the arteries severed. Ths pos .
terior tibial artery of his left foot was cut, '
and there was a cut screes the instep of right
foot. The coroner thinks these wonuds
alone would have ultimately brought aronnd
his death. Sheriff Groves summoned a jury,
who after examination of Depew returned a
verdict of death by hanging at the hands of
10 unknown nieu at the hour of 3 o'clock of
tbe morning of July 7.
DKMW XHTXSVrEWED.
Tbe following particulars we learn from
Depew, who was placed in the jail te wait on
Kelty aud keep him from killing himself
more than ss a guard; beard a voioe about
1 :30 and looked oat of window and seen
horsemen aud vehicles gathering outside.
Kelty said, "That is a mob, ain't it Harry t"
Depew answered tbst he believed it was.
When the lower wiudow was smashed in Kel
ty called bim again and said, "Lend me your
knife, Harry, I will give it right back to yoo.
You cau just stick it thretigh," at the earns
time holding out bis hand through the bars. .
Depew told him he oould not. By this time
tbe party had about got tired working on ths
wiudow sud were about to commence on ths.
door. Kelty seeing he could not get tbe
knife snatched the chimney off the lamp and
attempted to cat his throat, but it was too
thin. He then grubbed up the bowl of ths
lamp sud broke out a piece of glass half as
big as a man's hand out of the base of it,
which set on a table. With this he cut him
self in the neck, in the left foot aud across
the instep, snd sat up on the edge of the bed
snd tried to bleed himself to death. When
tbe mob took him out his clothes and the
beddiug were half saturated with blood, ana
on ths floor was s large pool of blood, almost
s yard square. Depew did not recognize any
of the parly.
On Thursday morning before seven o'clock
the remains ot Oscar M. Kelty were wsshsd
snd taken to the undertaking establishment
in this city. Geo. Kelty and his uncle ar
rived alwut ten o'clock, and the remaiss ot
decessed were placed in a haudaome casket.
Ladies around town brought flowers, some
kind-hearted lady making sn elegant horse
shoe of white flowers. Immediately after
dinnr the casket aud shell were placed In a
hack and followed by several parties in cer
riagr, proceeded to McCoy, whers tbe pro
cession was largiilysugmented. Ths remains
were Inferred iu the Bethel cemetery. A look
st deceased when he was tn his coffin dis
closed the fact that his features were calm
and composed, sud a person to look at them
and not knowing Ids terrible fate would bavs
said that he died a plvasaut death.
The Heme and the Commonplace.
Senator Dolph has been in Ban Francisco,
snd a lult'iirapbio dispatch from there pur
ports to gve sn account of hia trip across
the plains into Oregon, when he first cams
to (he state. It is se full of errors that evi-
deuly it did not emanate from himself. Ben.
ator Dolph didn't come to Oregon in 1852,
but in lHG'J; be didn't wsik, out came witn ,
military company and rode a mule, which
was no difflouit mode ot locomotion; there "
wasn't a particle ot hereism in performing ' t
the journey in each circumstances, and no
hardship at all. But there are men, and
women, too, yet living, wno am waia across
the plains many a year before 18G2, and they
were not only worn with fatigue and with
oare of children, but were confronted by the
perils of starvation snd of hoatils Indians,
The oases were not infrequent in the early
days of immigration wheu the wife buried
the husbands on the plains, and ths asms
day yoked np her laded oxen and with her
little ones resumed ths march alons. And
ws bavs sveu seen a widowed mother every
thing lost take one child in her arms and
another by ths hsnd snd struggle on her
lonely way, with hundreds of miles between
her snd ber destination. These are instances
of heroism that might well he commemorat
ed, and they make the commonplace matter
of riding a mule across the plains fall sap-
plies furnished by the government rsther
unheroia. But in jiutioe to Senator Dolph
it should be said that hs doesn't regard his
(ids across the plains on a mule, under pro
tection of a military ooinpsny, as a heroio
achievement at all, but just the very hum
drum, common sort of thing It actually wss.

The ex-rebel veterans who have just left

although with their state used as the
main battleflold, they never have received
any peuslons or bounty money of any kind,
whereas hundreds of millions have
been paid to our volunteers, snd still
ths professional soldier politicians
smong us sre far from satisfied. Tske the
