sas. psSlifc fas ous State has tesn of
crime. was tommitted near tfis place
last Monday night. The particulars as
we learn them are as follows:
Two soldiers, one belonging to the
2l Ohio Cavalry. and the other to the
-f0rir kansSs,w went up MN Greek 10
the house of Mr.. John Davis. one OF
the Oldest and most respected citizens
Of this county. and, in the presence Of
the mother. accomplished their hellish
purpose on the person Of his daughter.
Mr.. Davis was absent at sppiheg t-lain
about three miles distant. Bht was arous-
ed by a neighbor with report that out
cries had been heard in the direction of
his house, In company with num-
Der Of his heigbbors. ,he went TO his
house. ceap tufed The criminals. brought
them to town. and handed them over to
the military authorities. After-dae
consideration Of the matter. General
Doubleday greseiy ~ TO sseud them TO
Fort Leavenworsh for trial. A civil
writ sas however procured. and on it
he prisoners were turned over 10 Dep
"iy Sheriff Peter .Zuck. ~ This was on
Thursday, evening. They were taken
immedialelyto MArmsion. Dnsing the
night aiolarge crowd, surrounded the
place where the prisoners were reonfn-
ed and took them byifoicesout of the
Sheriff 'ssi nds. Yesterday morning
they were found, hanging on a gree a
shor, distance ills side Of Mar l.aton.
This is in brief the particulars, Of the
affair We would much rather have
preferred seeing themexecuied by order
of drum head court martial, We be-
lieve it would have had "a much better
effect. In The. hands of the civil au-
,horiies their punishment would have
been long delayed. and might have been
doubtful. even then. As il is. they
have received = terrible punishment
