stolen from him, and his son and another man
went in pursuit of them. They arrived at
Double Branchs, in Bates county, and stopped
at store to inquire for horses. They had not
been long there, when several men surrounded
them, and compelled to give up their arms,
started off with them to Papinsville, for the
purpose, as they alleged, of giving them trial.
They did not remain long ut Papinsvle until
the same party started off with them, and, a short
distance from the town, fired on both prisoners,
killing young Pope instantly, while his compan.
ION was wounded, but escaped by running and
concealing himself, it being dark. The stolen
horses, 1t is said, were in a pasture at or near
the point at which the two men in pursuit were
captured, and the excuse given by the murder.
ers for their action was, that parties had been
concerned with Montgomery's men in Kansas
1t is also said that the party who committed the

the Linn county murders-that the two men
appealed to the sheriff and other citizens of
