LYNCH|NG AT AURORA IN EARLY DAYS
REVIVED WITH COMING BACK OF CAMP

on February It'll cannon on the
hilltop was fired three times and
this was a signal for the citizens to
assemble.
The sheriff was absent in earch

the deputy sheriffs, marshals and
other peace officers We're immedi-

ments of the military company. who
stores and saloons were closed, and
the town placed under control of
the military company, to prevent dis
order A committee then began the
erection of a gallows on the street
near the center of the town, and at
noon another committee brought the
four men accused of the murder
from the jail to the gallows. around
which a great crowd gathered The
accused men were accompanied by
the Rev. c. Yeager, who asked to
give them religious consolation if
they desired it.
James Buckley, formerly of San
! Francisco, was the first one of the
four who was allowed to address the
crowd. He was cool and showed nc
| evidence of fear. He stated that he

that the other men were innocent
John Daley, considered to be the
leader of the gang, then stated that
he had killed Johnson because John
son had caused his partner to be
shot and he regretted that he coult
not have killed every relative John
son had James Masterson mex
made a claim of innocence in ;
calm and unexeited manner, an,

of the half dollars fell at the lads
feet. His father babe him pick it
up and then admonished him as fol.
lows: MY boy. don't you ever
spend that half-dollar Keep il as
long as you live, and whenever you
are tempted to do a wrongful thing
just take it out of your pocket, look
at it and then think of the fate OF
the man who threw it away
Daley and Mcdowell appeared to
be drunk when the time came to
adjust the moose about their necks;
they staggered about on the plat.
form and had to be assisted to stand
up when their arms were tied. The
fear of death had completely I'M
nerved them.
At 1870 a signal gun was fired and
the four men were launched into
eternity. Every man. woman and
child for miles around, who desired
to see the affair was present in a
great crowd around the gallows.
The four men who were hung
with another named Vance lived to
gether in a house owned by Daley
and were known as the Sacramento
crowd" They assisted each Other
financially and physically when il
trouble and that they should all die
together did not surprise any OF the
knowing ones of that community.

For nearly fifty years the old town
of Aurora has been practically de-
serted. The ruins of four-story
brick hotel that was Quilted by fire
in the early days, but the walls of
which are still intact, have furnished
shelter for prospectors and other
wild animals for half century and
deer have been seen browsing in the
streets of what was once a city Of
10000 people. Now that the old
town is being rejuvenated, and it
attracting the attention of the min
ing men of the state, modern mining
methods handling at profit, ore
that the pioneers passed by as
worthless, il is interesting to look
back into the history of the camp
and see what manner of men they
were who lived in this country in
the early days The following ac-
count of 'lynching affair." is taken
from the files Of California news
paper dated February IA, 1864:
lynching affair unparalleled in
the annals of the Pacific coast, oc-
Cured at Aurora, Nevada. On Febru
airy I'd a respected citizen of Nevada
formerly of California, named w r.
Johnson, was found lying dead on
the main street of the town. shot
through the head and a jugular vein
severed by a knife thrust. He kept
stage station about twenty miles
from Aurora, and had been spend
ing the night of the first with sci
of easy going fellows, playing cards
and billiards in different resorts un
til after midnight. His body was
found about a m, and it was soor
known that foul murder had beer
committed. The coroner's inquest
lasted five days in its efforts to fas
ten the crime upon the guilty men
1t developed that four men, mem
bers of the sporting fraternity AM
well known gun fighters, were con
cerned in the deed, but were abl'
to conceal the direct facts. TIL,
