Kellar, the murderer Of his wife and Mrs.
Boyd and her two children, near Twin Springs,
Kansas, was arrested and locked upin jail at
La Cygne. On the 10th party Of four hun
dred to five hundred men assembled at the
Jail and demanded that the Sheriff should de-
| liver the prisoner to them. The Sheriff refused
them admittanee to the Jail, but was over
come, and It was discovered that the prisoner |
was not in the building, as he had been prevl-
ousy removed to escape the mob. The Sheriff |
was threatened with death unless the place OF |
concealment was told. All authority was put |
down, and the Sheriff told the place where |
the prisoner had been taken TO. Kellar was |
then searched for and found eight miles east
of La Cygne, and taken back to the town.
The crowd was appealed to in behalf of law
and order and committee of twelve was ap
pointed to decide whether Kellar should
be hung or held for trial. The vote
was seven for hanging, and the crowd
proceeded deliberately to execute the
verdict Boyd, the husband and
father of the murdered family, put the moose
on Kelar's neck, and the wagon on which the
prisoner stood was driven from under him,
and the wretched man was thus executed.
No doubt existed as to Kellar's guilt. All the
lynchers were undisgused citizens OF the
neighborhood and county, some of them the
wealthest and best residents.
