Iowa and Eastern Nebraska has furnished
two OF the most thrilling and sensational
tragedies ever known in the history of
those sections The town of Shenandoah,
the county seat Of Page County,
has just passed through scene of
terrible excitement growing out of the
attempted outrage Of the 6-year old
daughter of F. j. Pine by Frank Phillips
and the subsequent treatment accorded to
him by mob of 200 men-which broke
open the Jail, took Phillips ont, stripped
him, applied tar and feathers, thrashed
him with big black-snake whip,
was rescued by officers, again taken
from jail, when he became defiant
and swore vengeance, this time being
strung up to telegraph-po and only re
leased on confessing his crime and prom
ising to leave town-all this was still fresh
in the minds of the people at Shenandoah
when they were Mortified by still more
terrible occurrence and far more deadly in
its results.
The author of Saturdays bloody tragedy,
by whom two men were killed and two
wounded, and who paid the penalty Of his
devilishness, having been strung up by
frenzied citizens, YVES Frank Gallup, q
desperate young character whose misdeeds

Iowa
4 Saturday Gallup and his haf-witted
brother had been drinking, and early in
the evening went to their fathers house,
just across the street from Frank Gallup's,
and quarrel ensued. The .old man was
badly pounded. His cries'for help brought
crowd of citizens to- the rescue, +. j.
Pine among them. Frank Gallup went
out to meet them and without word of
warning deliberately shot Pine. The others
fed, and gathering crowd Of armed citi-
zens returned to the house. Gallup's father
told them his son had escaped. Pine was
conveyed to the Delmonico Hotel The mill
tia was called out, and kilograms describing
the outlaw sent in all directions. After a
short time it was learned that Gallup had
not escaped, but was concealed in his
fathers house This news took crowd of
100 men, including militia Company E,
Iowa National Guards, to 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. Patterson, travelling salesman
for R. p. Smith & Son, OF Chicago,
stepped out and asked that a peace
officer deputize a posse to search the
house, and offered to lead them. Old man
Gallup said: Gentlemen, you have my
permission to search the house. where
upon Patterson armed himself with a
revolver, took a lantern, and in company
with one of the guards started for the
house. David Campbell, who was un-
armed accompanied them, against Patter-
sons protest. Patterson went into the eel
lar through an outside door,
and, after making complete
search, returned, saying that ''all
was clear down there.'' He had
scarcely uttered the words when Gallup,
armed with two revolvers, sprang from a
side window to the porch, and seizing
Campbell by the throat, placed revolver
against his head and said: !" You are after
me, are youg' Campbell attempted to
push the revolver aside, but was shot in
the back Of the neck and fell in his tracks.
Standing over Campbell's 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. Gal
lup's shot whistled just past Patterson's
head and struck 7. II. Winfrey, a mlilkman,
in the right leg.
At this juncture the shooting was rapid
and lively. Gallup's mother came out and
gave him more cartridges, and in going
back she ran against one of the guards,
a young boy named Moroni Fletcher,
knocking. him down. Gallup, seeing
himself 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 the 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 Louise. Fletcher did not tell
the crowd that he had killed him
for several minutes after he had dis
appeared. The crowd waited and watched.
Gallup's wife finally appeared and told
them her husband was dead. But fear
ing further treachery from the family,
they refused to take her word for
it until the end of rope that was
passed to her was fastened about his
neck. Then with wild cheers the crowd

the naked body through the dirt to the
city hall, where it was left on the floor.
After caring 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
At 8 o'clock Sunday morning Samuel
Gallup was brought to town by farmer
named jeff Williams, living mile south
of town. He had permitted the old man to
take refuge in his barn. Shortly after ne
was placed in the jail with his wife a
crowd collected about the building that
somewhat threatened the safety of the
prisoners necks. They were therefore
taken by the sheriff and his deputies to
Clarinda and placed in the county jail.

A Furious Storm.

nights storm was the worst ever known
here so far as electrical disturbances are
concerned. lightning played necessarily
in all parts of the heavens Several small
houses and numerous trees were struck,
but, so far as known, no one was
injured in this vicinity. Corn all along
the Missouri river was badly beaten down,
and farmers in consequence will suffer
heavily. All trains are late in arriving,
