no trees in the vicinity of the scaffold,
and the mob was first at loss for a
scaffold The men were hurried to an
adjacent we'll, and an attempt made
to hang them from the curbing, but
it proved impossible. They were then
dragged to q log shack near by, and
an attempt was made to hang them
from the ends of the projecting logs,
but this effort also proved unavailing.
A huge beef windlass, which had been
erected to suspend the carcasses of
slaughtered beeves, then offered the
means sought for, and the men were
dragged to this, and
STRUNG UP ON A CROSS BEAM.
Coudet was the first man to be
hanged. 1t is reported that he was
asked before he was hanged whether
Black Hawk and Defender had also
been concerned in the murder for
which he was about to be
hanged, and answered that
thew had been. The rope
which had been fastened about his
neck was then thrown over the cross
beam, and he was raised off the ground
and suspended in air. Holy Track and
Ireland were so nearly unconscious
from the effects of the dragging that
they did not realize what was about
to happen when the ropes about their
necks were tossed over the same beam.
They were unable to stand and were
slowly raised from the ground on which
they lay until their bodies swung into
the air and dangled from the windlass
with that Of Coudot, and the three
bodies swayed to and fro in the bright
moonlight, a ghastly spectacle. The
mob then dispersed, mounted their
horses and rode away.
The residents of Williamsport had
been aroused by this time to the fact
that something unusual was in prog
ress, and made their appearance from
the scattered houses in the little ham
tacle. The night was bright moon
light one, and the actions of the mob
were plainly discernible from a con-
siderable distance. A few women gaz-
ed, awe struck at the hanging of the
murderers, from the shadow of their
houses. There was no attempt to in
terfere with the mob, and there was
no noise of disturbance on the part
of the mob. They worked quietly
and with determination, They were in
sufficient force to have overcome any
resistance that might have been Of
fered, and, as there is no such thing
as militia company or other like body
in the vicinity, and only few resi-
dents of the town, there was no one
to offer any opposition to the lynching.
HOW TWO ESCAPED.
There were two other men alleged to
have been implicated in the murders
for which the three were lynched, and
they were saved from the same fate
by the fact that they are confined in
the Burleigh county Jail at Bismarck,
forty miles away. The mob would
like to have secured them also, and, if
they had been within reach, there is
no doubt that they would have shared
the fate of their comrades. But when
Goudot was tried and sentenced to
death, the other two men were ordered
confined in the jail at Bismarck, for
the reason that the Emmons county

yer since the men were arrested, and

ever since the men were arrested, and
he has several times had to exercise
considerable strategy to remove the
murderers from one place to another
without letting them fall into the
hands Of the mob, he was not altogeth-
er unprepared for such news. Had the
sheriff been there at the time of the
affair, 1t is doubtful if it would have
passed off as quietly as it did, as he is
courageous officer and would not
have surrendered the men without
struggle. He left at once upon re-
ceipt Of the news for Williamsport to
take action in the matter. Gov. Briggs
is out of the state, and q message was
sent to him this afternoon apprising
him of the lynching. What action will
be taken by the authorities remains to
be seen. 1t Is doubtful if any of the
men who took part in the affair can be
identified. The sentiment in Emmons
county is all against the men, and,
while there will be regret at the fact
that the mob took the matter into their
own hands, few, if any, will admit that
the fate of the men was undeserved.
Memory of their awful crime is still
fresh, and there is no doubt in the
VI Tic ISSlQeIlIS VI lIldl COuily
that the men were guilty.
The Standing Rock Indian reserva-
ton is only about fifty miles from the
scene of the lynching. The better class
of the Indians professed no sympathy
for the murderers, and at the time of
the confession of the crime applied to
the Indian authorities to take the In
dians out and shoot them, after their
fashion of Furnishing murderers, but
there is no doubt that the victims had
friends on the reservation, and what
complications may arise cannot be told.
The Indians may seek revenge for the
lynching Of their tribesmen, as they
have all along stated that they were
satisfied to have them hanged legally,
but did not want to see them hanged
by a mob. Great excitement prevails
here at the news, and Sheriff Taylor,
in whose custody are two more of the
murderers in this city, has prepared
for an extra guard of the Jail tonight,
lest there be an attempt to take the
men here from Jail by the same mob,
although this attempt is deemed un-
likely.

Of the men.
It is said that the lynching was pre-
cipitated by recent decision of the
supreme court of the state granting
new trial to the Indian Coudot. the
only one of the five men who had been
tried and found guilty of the crime.
Lynching has been feared ever since
the men were first apprehended, but
the residents of the county stated that
they desired to see the men have fair
trial. Coudot was the first man to be
tried, and he was convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged on Oct 29 last. His
case was appealed to the supreme court
on the ground that he had been con-
victed upon the testimony of an &C
complice, Paul Holy Track, and that
that testimony had not been corrob
GRATED. Upon this appeal the supreme
court decided to grant Coudot a. new
trial, holding that there had been no
corroboration of the testimony of the
the case did not warrant a conviction.
Unless the prosecution had additional
testimony to produce, this decision
would have resulted in the discharge
of the men. This prospect raised a
wave Of Indignation throughout the
county, which has resulted in the
lynching early this morning.
THE CRIME
for which the three men We're hanged
was one of the most horrible in the
annals Of brutality and atrocity. On
Feb. II last q passer entering the house
of Rev. Thomas Spicer a Methodist
circuit rider, discovered the dead body

Mrs. William Rouse, a daughter of
Spicer, also dead, with her twin baby

having been dashed out, and Mrs
Rouse having been killed with a club

MANDAN, N. D., Nov. 14.-Parties
here from down the Missouri river say
that the lynching Of Coudot, Holy
Track and Ireland at Williamsport
is the direct result of the legal quib-
bling of the supreme court in giving
a new trial to Coudot. No doubt what
ever exists of Coudot's guilt among
the people in Emmons county, and
they say they are tired of spending
thousands of dollars to secure convic-
tions merely to have them set aside
by the supreme court. Unless De-
fender and Black Hawk, now in Jail
in Bismarck, are protected by the gov
ernment. they will never get home
alive. When court meets Nov. 20, they
will be turned loose, as the authorities
are tired of prosecutions that accom-
plish nothing.
