several hundred dollars in money. some
twenty miles southwest Of Barlow. in n
secluded spot, where the robbers eDticed him
under pretense of showing him nearer road
to Barlow So intense was the feeling created
that the citizens rose en- masse. Headed by
senator NJ G. FOrtner and several other
equally old and conservative citizens, they
secured the country. and had every body for
miles around meet Mr.. BeaZly, so that he
might decide whether or not any of them
were concerned in the outrageous affair

several hundred dollars left with him bv
Beazly. They finally deciced to confront him
with the charge. and, if necessary, to put him
under arrest. Mr.. Pierce being called upon
surrendered to them the money he had
some $500 on S6O0-and Beazly made
written confession of the whole
affair. BeaZly said that he had been
gambling with two men. whose names he did

Up. it Is well for BeaZly that NJ. q. FOrtner,
Judge J. 4. FOrtner and all the older citizens
around Hooker prairie were in the company
that searched and secured tide country for the
robbers, for if only the young men had been
present when the fraud was discovered Beazly
would have Jared very badly, II he had not
been lynched outright.
