Career of t.e Kelly Family Ended.
In our last we briefly alluded to u

rounding up of three of the notoriou
 Kelly family of No Mans Land, anC
 the escape of the father of the family
 Fortunately, he was not sufficiently
 well mounted to elude pursuers, anC after three hours dash was observed
 ascending a low range of mountains
 and soon the fugative and his pur
 suers were within rife shot. Belne
 commanded to halt Kelly more Yigor
 ously applied his spurs until, upon
 breastlng a sleeper incline, his horse
 faltered and finally stopped, and thus
 at bay he knew bis time had come
 when he must join his wife and adult
 children.
 Just then Kelly, as dsSzffiilIaed ky the
 Globe Democrat, standing in the deep
 solitude of an unbroken forest, stern and morose and knowing that the
 work of vengeance was inevitable and could not be delayed beyond a very
 few minutes, rendered it an impress sive scene. A few words were spoken by members of the band aside, when preparations were at once made for the hanging. A rope was placed around Kelly's neck, and in short time his body, with his hands tied be- hind his back, was swinging in the air. lie was then let down and asked to confess his crime. This he did in a brief way. He said he and all the members of his family were equally guilty. He said in all they had killed and robbed nine men and two women. He told were the money was hidden that had been taken and gave up what he had on hls person. He professed not to know where the murdered par ties came from. He was again swung mp and left to hang. On hIs person was found a gold watch bearing the initials, T. 4. T." 4 man named Taylor was the name of one of the missing men.
 KelIy's house, where the murders were committed, was arranged very much after the fashion of that of the Renders. They too seated their vic Jims over a trap door, arranged to Precipitate them into cellar. "About the middle of December KelIy's house was shut up, and no one could tell what had become of the inmates. Soon came inquiry from CL;sa5S,-GGrm for a missing aT6nmaT, x. Lo &as traced to the Kelly retreit, but no further. A close scrutiny ot the prem ises led to the breaking down Of the door of the house, when the dead body of the missing man was found Tn the cellar nearly eaten up by rats. There were also five other bodies found in this pit of hell, but all in varying states of decomposition. from decay ing, rat-eaten flesh to the ghaStly grin ming skeleton. Besides these, there were four bodies found buried beneath the stable, one of which was that of woman about 30 years of age. Lying alongside of the barn, buried 1t depsh ofnot over feet, was unearth- ed the remains of a man which ap- peared to be better dressed than any of the others. 1t the corner of the barn were buried the bodies of a third man and woman whose heads were crushed as though from blow with some heavy instrument. In the wood shed was found blunt ax, upon which were still plainly visible particles of flesh and human hair as well as clots of blood"
 It IS such cases as this. and the Ben ders, where no question of guilt could arise, that Judge Lynch was fully jus tliied in taking jurisdiction. The Ben der family also kept hotel, and like the Kellys. consisted of four persons, father, mother, son and daughter, and becoming suspected of foul play, they abandoned their home and struck for Texas, but were not permitted to accomplish the .jourE.y Lore being welcomed to hosptable graves, where tue elOquence of silence is und1sturb- ed except by the hooting owl, the prowling prairie wolf and loquacicus coyote.
