In the death of Sidney Ruckman an &C
count of whose murder appears in this issue as
having occurred in Oklahoma not long since
a sad episode in the history Of Highland coun-
ty, is revived. In 1885 a young man who went
by the name of Ed. Atkinson, or doc" Atk-
inson got into an alteration with Mr.. Ruck-
man and cut him with knife. Reports got
abroad that Ruckman was dying. During this
period mob went to the jail at Monterey,
where Atkinson was and beat down the doors
and took him out and hanged him to tree,
near town The result of this affair was that
many persons engaged in the affair left the
county After that Mr.. RuckmaD, who was
really only little hurt.
The affair was the most unfortunate that
has eyer occurred in the annals of that coun-
ty, and has caused and may for a long time
cause local feeling, and bitterness. The young
man was waif from most respectable fami
~ in the northwest, but was looked on witt
suspicion and was travelling under an assumed
name and associating with some very disrep
utable people. The cutting of RuckmaI
constituted only slight offense, hence tht
feeling.
