Citizens Wrought Up.

There was strong talk of lynching at
the time of the killing. but this feeling
died away and it was thought that
nothing would come of ii. The hearing
of Simpson was set for today, and as
the time approached. in view of the
fact that the killing was regarded gen.
orally as cold blooded murder. the peo-
pie of the mining camp again became
wrought up and decided to take the law
into their own hands. There is no jail
at Skidoo, and Deputy Seller. with
strong guard. had been holding the
prisoner in a vacant building, pending
his preliminary trial. About o'clock
a posse of masked men surrounded the
building, demanding the murderer. In
less than ten minutes premature justice
had taken its course.
Simpson was considered q worthless
character. and the lynching, through
out this mining section, is generally APP
Dlauded.

building, there being no Jail. 1t was
feared that an attempt at lynching

without resistance by the deputy
sheriff Simpson was taken to a tele-
phone pole and a rope adjusted about
his neck. He was asked IL he had any
thing to say. but seemed too frightened
to make reply or resist, and was at
once hoisted into the air. A passerby
this morning saw the body about 6
O'Clock and raised an alarm. The body
was cut down and an inquest held, the
verdict being that Simpson came to
his death by strangulation by parties

since.
Simpson was being held until Satur-
day. when the Inyo county prosecuting
attorney was to have conducted pre-
