This pleasant little city has been the
scene of wild excitement for several days,
and crowds of turbulent people have
ihronged the streets. Frank Gallup, the
terror of this section of Iowa. has met a
| just reward, being killed by militiaman
after having himself fatally shot two men
and seriously wounded others Frank
/ Gallup has been a terror TO the COM
munits for over eight years, during which
/ time he has figured conspicuously in sew
eral fights and shooting ARRAYS and served
term in jail. Preceding this tragedy
only one day was another of almost as
I sensational a nature, and which brought
/ large crowds to Shenandoah from adjacent
| towns. Frank Phillips, aged 25, outraged
6-year-old child of +. j. Pine. He was
arrested and put in the city Jail under a
strong guard. At night a mob overpowered
the guard forced an entrance into the Jail,
took Phillips out. and after tarring and
feathering him whipped him with black
snake whip. Officers rescued him from the
mob and again placed him in Jail. The mob
warned him to leave town, but he was de-
J FAINT, and swore vengeance. This so en-
ragged the men that they returned and
again stormed the Jail, took him out, and
drew him up TO a telegraph pole. He was
| let down when he confessed the crime.
| On condition that he would leave the coun-
try he was released. Phillips was friend
of Gallup's. and both of them were the
enemies of Pine. Frank Gallup and his
half-witted brother had been drinking,
and partially intoxicated went to the home
of their father, across the street from
where Frank lived. quarrel ensued
and the old man was severely pounded
! His cries for help brought crowd of
citizens to the rescue, F. j. Pine among
them. Frank Gallup went out to meet
| them, and without a word of warning
| deliberately shot Pine. The others fed,
and gathering a crowd of armed citizens
returned TO the house. Gallup's father
told them his son had escaped. The mill
tia was called out, and kilograms describ-
| ing the outlaw sent III all directions. After
a short time ii was learned that Gallup Lad
not escaped, but was concealed in his
fathers house. This news took crowd
| of hundred men, including militia Com
| pany +, Iowa National Guards, 10 the
house of the old man. Gallup, who
had joined the crowd, declared that
| Frank was not IN the house. The
crowd hesitated as if at a loss
what course to pursue when T. E. Pat
terson, a travelling salesman for r. p.
! Smith * Son, of Chicago, stepped out and
asked that peace officer deputize posse
to search the house. and offered to lead
them. Old man Gallup said: Gentle
men, you have my permission TO search
the house." whereupon Patterson armed
| himself with n revolver, took lantern,
and. in company with one of the guards,
started for the house. David Camp
| bell, who was unarmed, accompanied
them, against Patterson's protest. Pat
terson went into the cellar through an
outside door, and after making a com
| plete search returne /, saying that AL
was clear down there" He had scarcely
uttered the words when Gallup, armed
with two revolvers, sprang from a side
door to the porch, and Selling Campbell
by the throat placed revolver against
his head and said: You are after me-
are you? Cd d-n you" Campbell at
tempted to push the revolver aside, but
was shot in the back OF the neck and fell
in his tracks.
Standing over Campbells body Gallup
began shooting right and left into the
crowd taking deliberate aim at the near
est man. The next man shot was Bert
Rice, who was just bringing his gun into
| position. Rice shot, but without effect.
He had just fallen when Patterson jumped
| from the cellar and leveled his revolver at
| Gallup. Gallup was ready for him. and
both weapons flashed simultaneously
Gallups shot whistled just past Patter-
sons head and struck L. ii. Winfrey, a
militiaman, in the right leg.
AT this juncture the shooting was rapid
and lively. Gallups mother came ont
and gave him more cartridges and in 90
ing back she ran against one of the guards,
young boy named Moroni Fletcher,
knocking him down. Gallup, seeing him
self hard pressed, started TO run. As he
passed young Fletcher, who was just
staggering to his feet, Fletcher gave it to
him from the left side, having barely time
| to swing his musket around and shooting
off hand. The ball struck Gallup in the
left arm, passed through his body and
right arm, and on through the side of the
| house.
Gallup's wife appeared and told them
her husband was dead. But, fearing
further treachery from the family, they
refused to take her word for it until the
| end of a rope that was passed to her was
| fastened about his neck Then with
wild cheers the crowd ran down
the main street, dragging the naked
body through the dirt 10 the city hall,
where ii was left on the floor. After car
| ing for the dead and wounded the crowd
went back TO the house after the old man,
but he had escaped and left town. His
wife was arrested and placed in the city
| Jail. Later. on the old man was also ar
rested and Jailed The widest excite
ment prevailed. Pines remains we're
