'Vigilance Committee Composed of
J Prominent Ranchers Threaten to
i Lynch Rustlers and Force Two to
Leave Oregon at Once.
HUFFMAN AND NEALLY
CAUGHT RED-HANDED
Hides of Animals Stolen From Her
man Walters Found Hidden in
Brush Confession Follows.
It is generally understood by the
people of the t'nited States that cat
tle rustling, lynching and cowboys
wearing artillery are a thing of the
past, but as an actual fnct it only
needs n few of the old-time outlaw
and cattle rustlors to ftart something
among the law abiding citizens of the
mountains and valley.s of southern
Oregon to convince the public that
lynching is not a forgotten custom,
but is only .slumbering for lack of
material.
Sixteen prominent citizens of the
Applcgatc valley, who for some time
past hnve led a ipiiet, easy going life,
became considerably enraged over
the disappearance of cattle in their
vicinity nnd proceeded to oil their
old "sixes," clean out the rust and
practice bitting pennies nt nbout ."0
puees, ns their fnl hers had taught
them to do some time ago.
Siivm'cCs Arc Hun Down.
The final theft occurred upon Sat
urday, February 'J, in which Herman
Walters lost two of his finest nnd
largest steers from his corral. Be
ing a man of energy, he proceeded
to become real active in trying to lo
cate the offenders. By Mondny
morning, he had obtained information
which led him to suspect Dave Huff
man and Jasper Xeally, who were
comparative strangers nnd newcom
ers in the valley about whom nothing
was known.
He gathered together the neighbor
ing ranchers and explained Hint he
was practically certain that Huffman
and Xeally were the men who had
stolen the majority of the cattle;
whereupon the entire party started
for the Xeally cabin, which is located
about four miles below the Applegate
store.
Dividing into four groups of four
men each, with Walters, Chester Kub
li, Fred Bergesch and Walt Provolt
as leaders, they surrounded the cabin,
covered the two suspected men and
after disarming thorn, they lucked
them in tho woodshed and preceded
to search tho premises.
Kviilenco Uncovered,
In a nearby thicket, they discov
ered fresh blood under n tree where
the beef had evidently been hung and
cut up and, upon further search, they
found the hides with the Walters
brand upon them, hidden deep in the
brush. Some of the party were for
immedinte lynching, but the older men
took into consideration tho family of
Xeally, who is Huffman's brother-in-law,
nnd compromised by ordering
them out of that country before the
following Thursday. The men finally
confessed their guilt and wero very
glad of tho opportunity to get out of
that section alive.
The ranoliors state that one or two
others aro under suspicion for the
snmo offense and threaten to take
the law into the own bauds and lynch
tho next rustler who tries to operate
in the Applegnto valley.
Tho vigilance committee is com
posed of C. Cook, L. Busve, W. Jeter,
J. Cook, B. Fiels, C, Fields, L. I.etle
kris, S. Woitz, W. Provolt, M. Rex
ford, J. York, Chester Kubli, Herman
Walters, George Walters and Fred
