gang of desperadoes. So bold had they /
become that the vigilance committee, /
numbering two hundred, were ordered |
out to bring them to speedy trial and |
punishment. This they did and are /
doing. Il appears that the Tinglesders |
fled TO the black Hills, where the vigi- |
lantes pursued, and Oh Saturday arrested /
the notorious Jack Hays, Pat DolaE, /
alias " Shorty" and rough by the /
name of Kief. These they took to Dale |

hung them. The committee then went /

pursuit of the remaining desperadoes, /
