by the courts. Three months ago they
were charged with firing old man Hilton's
house, poisoning his cattle, stabbing and
killing his horses and shooting old man
Hilton, and our courts were powerless to
convict. Therefore, after advising with
! the best men in my county I came here to
hang Barnett and Others" bunch of
rope with two hangman's knots carefully
made was found near Ringo's body.
Ringo is dangerously wounded, five balls
penetrating his right leg ten inches above
the knee, necessitating amputation, and
will probably result fatally. Although
the ceiling of the room above is riddled
with bullet holes, none of the guards were
wounded.
The general sentiment of the public
here, is that it was very unfortunate the
mob did not succeed in hanging the Bar
nett gang, as they are considered desper-
ADDE'S of the most desperate type. This
affair seems to be the result of family
| feud existing for long term of years
past, which has from first to last cost many
lives and will only close with the death of
all parties concerned. Ringo, the wound
ed leader of the mob, has three cousins
and one brother-in-law in the outlaw gang
whom he was attempting to hang and
which will doubtless cost him his life. He
has since 1866 been an officer in his
county, and has always enjoy ed an excel
lent reputation in his community, as a fire
officer and law-abiding citizen.

Some 200 started east on the railroad
tracs; picket was left 1T No 3. When the
Collins mine was reached they were told no
attempt to work would be made to-day.
They then started for Confidence and Troy
mines. A CONSPICUOUS feature of the
procession was half dozen men carrying
kegs of beer upon their shoulders. No
work was going on at Confidence mine,
but the strikers were suspicious. Upward
of hundred stopped there, beer was tap
ped and scenes of disorder ensued, Super
lntendent Weisenburg telegraphed to Dep
utY Sheriff Lanham tnat his property
was surrounded by bowling mob and in
danger, and called for assistance. The
Belleyille and Caseyville miners were
Joined by strong delegation from the
miners or the Ohio & Mississippi road.
Those who did not remain at Confidence

and surrounded Brookside mine, which
