AN AURORA LYNCHING
so YEARS AGO

For nearly fifty years the old
town of Aurora has been practical
ly deserted. The ruins of a fur
story brick hotel that was Quilted
by fire in the early days bat the
walls of which are still intact, have
furnished shelter for prospectors
and other wild animals for half
q century and deer have been seen
browsing in the streets Of what was
once 2 city OF ten thousand people.
Now that the old town is being
r. juvenated and is attracting the
attention of the mining men Of the
state, modern mining methods
handling at a profit, ore that the
pioneers passed by as worthless, it
is Interesting to look back into the
history of the camp and see what
manner of men they we're who
lived in this country in the early
days. The following account of a
"lynching affair" is taken from the
files of a California newspaper dat
ed February ID, 1864.
A lynching affair unparalleled in
the annals of the Pacific Coast, oc-
Cured at Aurora, Nevada. On
February End 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
his jugular vein severed by a knife
thrust. He kept a stage station
about twenty miles from Aurora
and had been spending the night or
the first with a set Of easy going
fellows, playing cards and billiards
in different resorts until after mid
night His body was found about S
n. m. and it was soon known that a
foul murder had been committed.
Tho coroners' inquest lasted FIVE
days in its efforts to fasten the
crime upon the guilty men.
1t developed that four men,
members Of the sporting fraternity
and well known gun fighters we're
&C" cerned in the deed, but were
able to conceal the direct facts.
TIE four, with another who was be-
lieved 10 be an accessory after
the fact, were ordered arrested on
February 7th. On the 9Th, four
hundred citizens Ut Aurora and
vicinity met in the armory Of the
local military company and orga-
nizcd into n committee Of safety
and arranged their plan of proceed
ure to rid the community of it's an.
desirable element. At Z a.. IN. on
February 9th a cannon on the hill
top was fired three times and this
was a signal gun for the citizens to
assemble. The sheriff was absent
in search Of otner suspects and the
houses Of the deputy sherifFs, mar
shaIs and other peace off ers were
Immediately placed urJer guard

closed and the town placed under

control Of the military company to
prevent disorder. A committee
then began the erection Of a gall
lows 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
q greet crowd had gathered. The
accused men were accompanied by
the Rev. c. Yeager, who was asked
to give them religious consolation
if they desired it.
James Buckley formerly Of San
Francisco, was the first one Of the
four allowed to address the crowd.
He was cool and showed no evil
dence of fear. He stated that he
and Daley had killed johnson and
the other men were innocent. John
Daley, considered to he the leader
of the gang, then stated that he
had killed Johnson because Johnson
had caused his partner to be shot
and he regretted that he could not
have killed every relative johnson
had. James Mastcrson next made
a claim of innocence in a calm and
unexcited manner. and was follow
ed by John Mcdowell alias, "Three
Fingered Jack" who raved wildly,
calling upon God to witness that
he was an innocent man and ended
his %harrangue by drawing a der
ringer out of his pocket and plac-
ing it over his heart and pulling
the trigger. 1t snapped and then.
with an outburst of oaths. ne cast
the weapon out into the crowd.
I;aley, when he had ended his
talk, drew from his pocket a hand
full of half dollars and threw into
the crowd remarking that he
would not need money any more.
A mar named Hanson was standing
in the crowd with his seven year
old son One of the half dollars
fell at the lads feet. His father
badn him pick it up and then ad-
monished him as follows. My son
don't you " spend that half dol
lar. Keep it 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 neck
they staggered about on the plat
forms and had to be assisted to
stand up when their arms were
tied. The fear of death had COM
pletely unnerved them.
At 1880 a signal gun was fred
and the four men were launched
into eternity. Every man, woman
and child for miles around who de-
sired to see the affair was present
in a great crowd around the gal
lows.
The four men were hung with
smother named Vance, lived togeth-
er in a house owned by Daley, and
were known as the Sacramento
crowd" They assisted each other
financially and physically when in
trouble and that they should all die
together did not surprise any of
the knowing ones of that commun-
ity.
