Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-07-27

HonliBLl CASE OF HANGING LA it
possible that our community has at last
come to this2-that the righteous code
of sslf-protection, adopted in the early
days Of California, has at last found
friendly c~ountensnce here in the land
Of washos2 This country must be pro-
gressivel No use denying that fact.
AZ the suu illuminated the silver hills
surrounding Gold Hill, this morning, a
solitary but dsfunct corpus Of q man
was seen dangling from the end Of .
rope at the masthead of the liberty pole
on Fort Homestead Oh, it was q hor.
ribls sight to look upon! 1--WE didn't
see Is, but we are told so BY Eve hun
drsd men who Jaw itD Oh, it was tor
riblsl Some persons were afraid to 60
nesr it. They said it was Millen, who
killed julie Bulss.e. Others said it was
Kelly or Eaukins, who have been
chased BY au indignation meeting
lately, in Virginia city. Others said
i, was Horace Dsvis or Jef.
Grselsy-or perhaps both together,
az they were running together at last
accounts. But, laying all joking aside,
somebody was hung, whoever it was
and, as Daniel O'Connell once remarked
in a stage-coach 10 Ireland, when speak
ing of a notorious character like Brig.
ham Young, ''he was most etfectually
executed to all intents and purposes.
All that remained Of the poor fellow was
hfeless, cold in death-and nobody
seemed TO know who he was, what be
was, where he came from, or whittier he
was bound-except that he was under
the attachment Of a rope. Never a word
did he SAVIOR at that early hour, "not
a mouse stirred, not = goose stirred,
not a horse stirred, not a COW stirred,
40, q dog stirred" But the men were
around, and i, was some little time be-
fore they could exactly get "the hang
Of the ropes" Aud when they did get
their hang, the town Of Gold Hill was
40 live AZ 9 bee hive-bet yer life. "a
man for breakfast might do
for a small suburb like Virginia
city, but, Gold Hill was not
exactly hungry for men just now
especially for q breakfast meal.
They might have as many men for
breakfast in Virginia, Dayton, Aurora,
Austin, or P~ahransgat, as they pleased;
out Gold Killers were not csnuiosls,
and did not feed on that kind Of meat;
aud WAS not exactly the cheese" An
indignation meeting was soon organized,
and q committee appointed to 60 up on
Fort Homestead and to take down the
body. Tho committee performed its
duty-aud although old Gartrell, who
PROCESSES to be the Coroner Of Storey
land who says it 10 none Of his business
10 inform the public Of the verdicts OF
Corouer's juries)-was on his way down
here to hold an inquest, so that he mrs~
make a bill against the county, the COM
fnittee buried the body, yea, they got IL
out Of sight in short order, without
Judge or jury. 1t was sufficient that he
was huug-d-d well hung. He looked
like JEFF Davis, or Horace G~reeley-or
Horace Davis or JET Greeley. No bail
required in this case. All quiet on Fort
Homestead.
