| Lcchy then, accompanied by the |
mayor Of this placc, went into the hO-
| tel to supper. While ut the table eat |
| ing Gallagher came In, laughing, but |
I walked on through the dining room |
| into the kitchen. In q few seconds |
he returned to the dining room with "A
large carving knife concealed in the
sleeve Of his coat, stepped over to the |,
table at which Leehy was sitting, and
slapped him in the face with the
knife, Mt the same time saying, 81 am
Il coward, am | ~ Leehy raised his |
arms in getting up, when the murder
er stabbed him right in the heart, bury
ing the blade fourteen inches in the
heart of Leehy. He pulled it out
quickly and Leehy said: ''You have
Killed me-" Gallagher drew the
knife back and, with an oath, was in
the act of again stabbing the dying
man, when the mayor caught hold of
him and took the knife out of his

depot the sheriff and his posse were
surprised by about forty masked men,
armed with bouble barreled shotguns,
which they presented at the guards |
and told them to Lalt with their pris-
oner. In half a minute they seized
Gallagher and took him across the In
ternational track, just outside of the
corporate limits and made for the first
tree in view. Under its shade they |
halted, thinking Gallagher had too
long been exposed to the scorching
rays of the sun.
No noise or hustle was made-they |
went at it in business-lilie manner
The rope was even creased, and the
knot would have done credit to a
hangman of twenty-five years expert
ence in that line. In order that Gal
lagher's long journey might be as
pleasant as the circumstances would
admit of, he was placed upon horse
and the horse given a slight lash to
start him. Gallagher gave no fare
well word at parting-his lips seemed
sealed, and he died as heartless as he
I had lived.
After the mob had dispersed party
went up to the tree and found the body
was still warm, but its vitality had
| fled. AT ten O'clock this mOrningthe
body was cut down and an inquest
held, and the remains buried under
the tree upon which he was hanged.
| No suspicion seems to exist toward
any one here. In fact, everybody
appears pleased at the fate of Gala

| it.
