They were imwediately taken before Justice Tecognizance. ers, express the, grestest indignation at their posivion: Boey fully justify the tarring avd "eaibering of Stanton, and don't deliy administer to him the same process once every night for two weeks. Mr. Perry Mills, who has evidently been chosen spclesman fo- the party, detailed to a B2z reporier last evening the full pat.icalars of the whole affair. Heisa man of comiderable inielli- gence, foriy-itve yee s old, and says the hand of ite law was never before Laid on him. Said he: ““This youn man Stanton came to our neighborhood two years ago from Michigan. He had tramped the whole way, anl was received and known asa tremp. M. Ovelander, who ownel a farm near to us, had died a shott time before, leaving all I his propersy to his wi‘e, wiih the un- dersianding ihai s six children would be well provided for. T was a witness to {be wr'l. JSust before deaill hie de- R S e fu'l confidence in his wife, and being '{ | very rear to dealh, the paper was not altered. The widow had rened the farm to Mr. S. R. Davis, and Stanton was employed by him. This S.anton is a shrewd fellow, and it wasn’t long before he obtained the good graces of the widow, and by quarreling with Davis succeeded in creating an ill feeling beiween Mrs. Overlander and her tenant. Sianion had a law suit wich him, and was all the Gime backed up by the widow. When the year was up Davis was re- fused the farm for any longer period, and Stanton rented 1t for a year. When Overlander died he left every- thing in good shape, plenty of stock, and gruin, and money in the house. Gradually everything began to dwin- dle away from her, and fell into the hands of Stanton. He seemed to have the complete masiery of her. from home, and threw their clothes out of doors when they refused o go. Two she- brought to th's cicy. Oue, & girl of fourteen, she placed with a Mr. Drake here: a boy, azed eleven, was placed with a Mrs. Vandercook, also here. The iwo o'C2st found employ- ment in the neighborhood, while the two younges:, aged four and six, she allowed to remain home. Al this was done through the influence of this tramp. Their conduct became a scan- dal to the neighborhood, and every soul in our mids: declared he should be drizen away. Finally, i\ became gan making prepara‘ons ‘o . Overlander had become quize straight- ened in circamstances, and we have ovidence she gave Sianton a mortgage on the farm. When the bills were sent about announcing the sale of her persoal property, it was deiermined it should be siopped for the sake of the chi'dren. The action to break the will had been hegun, and Stanton in- duced her to give him the possession of everything so that the law could not reach the properiy. On the morning of the sale, before breakiast, and be- fore anybo 'y could be on the ground, Mis. Overlander acted as auctioreer and sold everything io Stanton. The properiy consisted of three horses, two wazous, two cultivaiors; one stirring plow, one corn sheller, one hay rake and one corn vlanter. When this thing became known the teeling of the people agamst this scoundrel found no bounds, and though none of us were concerned in what was done to Stan- ton, we are all sandid enouzh to siy we would take a great deal of pleasure in giving him over again what he got that night.” The party were induced to tell the reporter the story of the assault as they learned it. The details were given to Mrs. Overlander, and young MacGregor, who is now running the farn. It appears Mrs. Overlander and Sianion were in the habit of coming to Omaha very frequenily, reiurning home usually towards one o'clock in the morning. On the nizht of the assault they had been to Omaha and recurned considerably afier midui hic They hranght the boy and girl wiih them, the complainings of the neig - bors in respect to Mrs Overlander leaving her children in Omaha being too much far her, it is said. The mother and children went into the house, and Sianton accompanied, tak- ing some things brought from Omaha. He returnzd to unhiich the horses, and had got to the barn door with them when he was seized. A struggle foliowed, and his screams brought the mother and the two children to the sceno Stanion was, however, quickly hurried away and taken s distance of two miles, where the accouirements of a tarring and feathering cirgug were in readinesst.

Pres- ently he said he recognized three,then five, and finally thirteen. } The, ¥'i'e boy said he recog- atized, three of the party, which numbered sbout thiry alto- gether. Great excitement prevails in Jeor- | son precinct in consequence of these arrests. Mr. Mills denies that Stanton was ever a constable. On one occasion he was appointed, at his own request, a deputy to levy upon a pig belonzing toa widow. The widow gave him a good beazing, #nd he had her arresied and fined. When the prisoners were arrainged before Judge Anderson at 9 o'clock this morning a posiponement had been agreed upon by Mr. [Balliet, who ap- peared for the disircc aitorney, and Col. E. F. Snyihe and W. L. Connell on the part of the prisoners. _General O'Brien was assoctaied with M. Bal- liet.

A few months after (he death of her husbard Mrs. Overlander gave birth | to a child, now alive and . ing with her on the farm. 1 [Last July Mrs. Overlander came to the city and took up her residence with Mrs. Dr. Julia E. Vandercook, who has an office on Sivieenih street, between Dodge and Capital avenue, and a residence in Wesi Omaha. She is the same person with whom Mrs. Overlander placed her boy above men- tioned. On the 28th of July Mrs. Over- lander gave birth to a boy. ~ After re- maining there three weeks she reiurned to her home, but the child was leit behind. Soon after shemade a confession of the whole matter to lady acquaintance, and begged of her to adop. the child, but merely asa ruse to enable her to re-adopt _the boy from this con- iidante. Mrs. Overlander further confessed that Stanton, who was ¢ vred and feathered, was the father ¢ the child. Where it is now is a matter of con- jesiure, but it is ceriain that the ther, and Stanion, and Mrs. Van- ercook know of iis v ereabouis. Scanton, being questioned about the child, pronounced it a pure falsehood, and said that Mrs. Oveslander had not given birih to any child since the Satls o s s, Ho, Riwever, showed considerable nervousness while being questioned.
