 Lafayette Y. Grimes and c. B. Hawley,
 residents of this place, forfeited their
 lives ID a summary manner by their own confession, made without intimidating
 They acknowledged the robbery of the
 Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express treasure chest, containing $500 in gold coin, and the killing of the messenger, MT. Andy Hall, one of the most trusty of the Company's messengers, and who has very favorable record as one of Powelrs men, who some years ago explored the Colorado canyon. They also acknowl- edged the killing of Mir. W. F. Vail, native of Syracuse, New York, who &C., cidentslly happened to be in the vicini- ty of the robbery, who had started on the morning of August 20th to visit some mining property in the direction of the outrage. Last evening between 7;3O and s o'clock, the sheriff and posse brought in from the Bloody Tanks the two prisoners, and at once placed them in the jail. As soon as it became known that they were in town, large meeting took place at the jail, and after considerable barley, between the officers and the people, the prisoners were surrounded and taken to Dr. Stalla's hall, where a court of in quiry was organized and full hearing | had. It was decided to hang them | without delay. The prisoners asked for three hours time and promised to re- veal the hidden place of the money | stolen. This was acceded and they, ID with about thirty citizens re- paired to the foot hills of the Pinal about four miles from town and there pointed out the hiding place of the money and most of it was found md taken in charge by NIT. Vosburgh, agent of the express company at this place. The party then returned to town md reassembled at the hall, when Flaw ey asked for time to make out a written confession and arrange his worldly lfairs. This was granted and at a luarter before two o'clock this morning he church bell was heard to toli. A was formed, guarding the prisoners on either side by well armed nen and moved in the direction of a arge sycamore tree on Main street, lear Pinal creek. All was quiet and rderly, not word spoken or shisper heard as the solemn 1arch advanced, the prisoners not ven dinching or expressing a sign of gar, but advanced with a firm step, and l a short time were dangling in the air, oth fastened to the same limb of the { rec. All the business houses, includ- lg saloons, closed their doors early in i he evening, and not the least disorder ccurred and not drunken man was cen on the streets. Thus ended this 7 srrible scene of retributive justice to ardened criminals. A brother of the [ oung Grimes executed, who was en- aged here in the photograph business, G
 also a confessed participant in this Hair, but owing to his not being on the ( round when the pooling was done he c as remanded back to jail to await fur | Ter action. His poor, sickly wife and 'ur small children, who were present 8 lring the trial, made a scene we'll cal p dated to draw sympathy from the V owd, and hence he was spared to meet s deserts at some other time. Hawley . IS family in Salt Lake City, and was z gagged here in the wood and charcoal n isiness, and stood fair as a citizen. G rimes is a young man without family, V Id IS said to have been engaged once 7, fore in a robbery of this kind in ,rthern California. The dead men ,, ere left hanging to the tree until elght s ,lock this morning, when an inquest Ia Is held by the Coroner and the bodies p nded over to the Sheriff.
