told me that the same chup was hung up
by the hands at Sioux City, Iowa, for
some crime, and that he had shot down
several persons in cold blood, at Omaha,

were brought, the auctiouccr mounted
one to the top of the telegraph pole with
one end Of the rope and made il last there,

mount the short ladder, A groccryman .
belonging to the "order," revolver in
hand, kept calling out, tie those hands,
