gives the following particulars OF the
lynching Of Keliar. who murdered his
wife, Mrs. Boyd and two children last
Sunday night, lear Twin Springs, K'.
Yesterday additional evidences was
found duplicating Kellar. A shirt
covered with blood ri Identified hs
his by a peculiar button which he
usually wore. The rage OF the people
upon this discovery was u%nbounded,
and it WAS soon rulnored that Kellsr
would BE- tsken from Jail. Half an
hour before the mob assembled lie was
taken to the woods to save Ills life.
Three hundred men demanded his
wlie, esbout., and threats oil death weie
made. The Sheriff, unable to resist,
revealed the whereabouts Of kellsr,
anu he was captured by the lynrllers
eight miles east Of Lescygnes, Kansas,
and taken back to that place. hellar
begged for lite. bu, did not confess his
guilt. He asked time to make his
will. which was granted. The authorl-
ties were powerless to save him, and
after making his will lie was again
taken to the timber on the ems.
slle Of the river. Operations we're
suspended OIL the appearance OF
t"c leader of the crowd, who
introduced Judge Blair OF Fort Scott,
who had just arrived to open a Grim
lnal court at Laeygnes. which sits OH
Monday next. Jadge Blair addressed
the crowd OF lynchers, urged the prop
err course Of the law and asked mercy
for the prisoner, promising a fair trial
In the courts, IL the people would give
him up to the authorities, until Mon
day and bring him Into court. The
utmost attention was paid 10 the re
marks of the Judge, and others who
spoke in support Of his proposition
were listened to with respect. In re-
sponsc the leader Of the lynchers said
that he believed he had done his duty
In bringing the prisoner to that place,
and was sure the punishment about to
be meted ont "a just. The murderer
was now In tho hands Of an outraged
people who could decide what his pun
ishment should be. a vote was taken
to decide whether to leave the matter
to Il committee OF twelve to decide the
fate of the prisoner or to tho court.
The choice fell In favor OF q commit.
tee. Tho committee Of twelve were
required to east ballots as to his dis
po.al. Eleven votes were cast, seven
for hanging and four for q trial. The
fate Of the prisoner was thus decided,
aud nothing could arrest 1t. Prepsr-
s.ions were at once made for tho ex-
ecution. Twelve volunteers were
called for, and they stepped forward
promptly, among them Boyd, the hus'
band OF one OF the women murdered,
and the father OF both the children.
Kellar was given an opportunity to
make some remarks. He declined, but
denied all knowledge Of the murder.
He was apparently unaffected by the
hasty preparations going oil. He was
offered the chance Of confession to q
Minister. but declined. The two exc.
c,lioners then p~inioned him, and
stood him on the top Of a wagon. A
rope WAS Suspended from a tree
already selected. Kellogg was blind
folded. when B,yd placed a rope over
his neck. the word was given. the
wagon drawn from under him and
John Krllar was dead. The time was
s o'clock. The crowd were all undls.
gulsed and comprised nearly all tho
ueighbors and citizens OF the township.
1t appears that trouble had existed be.
tween Kellar aud his wife. He had
applied for q divorce. She sued for
alimony, hence the murder. Mrs.
Kellar went to stay with Mrs. Boyd.
whose husband was away. Kellar
killed both women aud the children
with al Ak, aud burned the house to
hide the deed,
