MORE LYNCHING IN MONTEREY The
Santa Cruz Sentinelof Saturday last says: !:
We have been kindly permitted to ex-
tract the following from private letter to
a citizen of this place, written under date
of the Sd inst.
On yesterday we heard of camp of
Spaniards, in the willows little below the
Tom Blanco, crossing, on the South side
of the river; so we made up company
OF men, and went to arrest them. They
resisted several shots were fired on both
sides. There were two Spaniards
was shot dead, and the other gave himself
up. The one killed is said to have been
concerned in the murder of Wall and Will
hanson. They were notorious rascals.-
The one killed had shot man in Monte
rey, and they both intended to leave for
parts unknown, as soon as they could learn
what Anastacio Garcia, who was brought
from below last week, had to say. These
fellows had stolen saddle from us few
days before. The one taken had stolen
Smiths mule last spring. So we took
them out to the side of the road, laid one
down, and hung oneup; left the dead to
take care Of themselves, and have heard
nothing from them since.
