ESPECIAL TO THE s%ENrINEL.l
SAN Francisco, March pat Portland,
Oregon, a reporter of the Oregonian last
night interviewed a reliable gentleman
Just arrived from Prineville, Wascoe
County, and obtained the following addi-
tional particulars of the recent murders
and lynching: piece of land lying be-
tween the ranch OF Crooks and Jory and
that of Langdon was in dispute. Lang
don had fenced it in on the 18th inst.
Crooks and Jory ven on the disputed
ground and commenced cutting a tree.
When half LONE they were called to dinner.
Upon their return they found Langdon
cutting the same tree, with a shotgun
near him. A quarrel ensued. when Lang
don raised his gun and discharged both
barrels, killing both men. The following
Friday morning, when the Deputy Sheriff
and his posse approached L~angdon's house,
they saw a man riding away. They headed
him off and ordered him to halt. He
obeyed and surrendered himself, saying
he feared he would be lynched, and had
mounted his horse with the intention of

That night he slept on q lounge In the
parlor of the Jackson House, with a
guard OF eight men. When the mob made
their appearance the posse made no show
of resistance. The Deputy Sheriff says a
blanket was thrown over his head. The
opinion prevails among many that the
posse assisted in the l~ynching, though they
promised Langdon and his wife that he
would be unframed. The hanging OF
Harrison seems to have been a deliberate
murder. He was in no way connected
with Langdon. or in the killing Of Crooks
and Jory, but remarked, when he heard OF
the affair, "Well. it's a good thing they
were killed." He was sleeping in the
Jackson House when the mob approached
and having heard the shooting dressed
and went down stairs to the street. I'm.
mediately a RATA was thrown about his
neck, the other end fastened to the pommel
of a saddle and the rider dashed away tc
the Crooked River bridge, dragging Har.
rison, who was undoubtedly dead before
the bridge was reached. The lynchers are
supposed to be cowboys, recently moved
into the southern portion of Wascoe Coun.
ty, and are prototypes of their brethren il
Arizona and Texas.
