. VH THE SLUICE noasghf“;wa there an be 1o question, had An Episode of the Barly Min. ing Daya at Grizzly Fat. The Man Who Plundered at Honest Miners—How He Was Suspected, Detected Camp Lynch Law and Punished San Francises Call, 7ly Flat was oxcited. Every y had quit work, and an ug crowd of rough-looking miners gath- ered around the *‘Long Tom” saloon and Garber's store. From the appear ance of things it evident that something very unusual had happened, No ordinary shooting affair or mining accident would have kicked up such a fuss, and as for ‘‘a strike” or ‘‘a find,” such things were of too fre. quent occurrence to make the boys knoek off work and leave their claims at this time of day. The fact is, Grizzly Flat was enjoying its firat red- hot sensation. Everything that pro ceded it, not excepting the murder of old man Moore and the lynching of Sydney Bill, was tame in comparison, and the ocoasion of it all was the arrest of a Mexican called “Gringo,” for robbing sluices, This rascally work has been going on for months, the claims being visited dur- ing the night, the rufties takon up, and the boxes raked and scraped as if with a fine-tooth comb. In spite of every precaution, such as a ‘‘clean-up” at the close of each day’s work, instead of on Saturday night, as usual, the loss was considerable, tosay nothing of the trouble and worry caused by it. Sev- eral companies stood guard with shot- guns night after night, but tho steal- ing went steadily on, and the perpe trator or perpetratora could not be de- tected. Naturally enough, the mys- terious midnight visitor puzzled the boys awfully, and more than one man 1n camp began to be looked upon with suspicion. STARTLING N n the midst of this anxiety and suspense, while all were worrying over these nocturnal depredations, word ran hike wild-fire along the camp and through the surrounding country that the thief had been caught at last. Sam Pritcher, who had been hired to stand watch over the ‘‘Gold Miners” claim, was the successfulsentinel, and immediately became the hero of the hour. Sam was a tall, lank, lantern- jawed Missourian, comparatively a new man on Grizzly Flat, and very fow knew anything about him. He certainly didn’t love work, although doing a little occasionally in the way of mining, while his vicious disposi- tion and gambling propensities wore not calculated to win him many friends. On the subject ot sluice- robbing Sam had been one of the most indignant, notwithstanding he never owned a foot of ground, and was often heard to swear that the miscreant who would rob an honest miner ought to be strung up like a dog to the nearcst tree. Very likely it was because of his zeal in this respect that caused him to be one of the first men placed on guard by the miners to protect their property and discover the guilty party or parties. Unlike several others, who were selected for the same duty, Sam preferrrd to *‘go it alone,"” stub- bornly refusing to stand guard along with anybody else, and swearing, with a wrri\Xa oath, that he didn’t propose to share either the regard or the glory with any man. His account of the discovery of the thief, and the man- ner in which he effacted the capture, was that he had hidden himself be- hind a pile of railings, from which point he could have a good view of the sluices without being seen by the robber. About 3 o'clock in the morning, or between 2 and 3, he saw a man spying around in a stealthy manner, as if to make sure there was no danger, and then deliberately pass up and down the long line of sluice- boxes, bending over in a stooping position, and ncrnyil!g up the dust as he went along. Bringing his shotgun to bear upon him, when he had come within close range, Sam made him his prisoner, and brought him into camp. This was substantially the story of the capture, as told by the long Mis- ourian with a liberal embelishment of oaths. The way of it was that the Mexican—a lazy, idle, worthless fol- low—was always cursing the Ameri cans a8 ‘‘d— Gringoes” (Yankeos), and the latter, probably for this rea- son, and because the growling black- guard disliked it 8o much, fastened upon him the name of “Gringo” in return. All over the camp, among the miners, he was called nothing else, and the boys delighted to shout it after him wherever he went. Hereto- fore, however, whatever might be “Gringo's” shortcomings, he had never been suspected of being a thief. Still there was no very great surprise min- gled with the popular indignation at findivg this particular Mexican had been caught in the sluices. THE CAMP AT FEVER HEAT, Daylight saw the littlo camp fairly boiling with excitement. More than one rough-looking miner, even before knowing anything beyond that *‘a greaser had been caught robbing sluices,” fiercely demanded that he be swung up without judge or “‘Hang him!" was the goneral verd without waiting for the evidenco or going through the forms of trial. ¥ tunately for the miscrable wreteh, there were ccoler hoads among the savage crowd that cursed and scowled athim as he lay there, tied like a dog to a heavy bench in the cabin of John Martin, one of the “solid” men of GrizzZly Flat, Martin had lus hands full that morning. He was a heavy loser by the sluice robbing, and probably for that reason the unfor- tunate ‘‘Gringo” had been turned over to him by his captor. But John Mar tin did not believe in hanging a man first and trying him afterwards, as did 80 many of his rash and excited asso- ciates, even if he were **nothing but a greaser, anyhow!” It wus no casy task, however, to restrain the popular was WS, fury, particularly when the chain lightning whiskey began to make i self felt as the day woreon. DPritcl made himself particular sotive in demanding summary vengeance, and the glory of his exploit ¢ influencs with the exasperated mult tude. *‘Let's hang him to a shouted, “and you bt we won't have any moresluice-robbing in this cawp. “That his advice would have been fol yo him great not Mr, Martin and a few friends he had called to his assistance bravely in- terposed between the Mexican and the jury of the mob, for such it might fairly be called. Through their active exertions and earnest appeals it was at last determined to GIVEHIM A TRIAL, For this purpose a miners’ jury was formed, then and there, wader a big onk tree, with John Martin for judge of the |n||:rnm[)(u court. But little time was wasted on technicalities or anything else, and the whole trial did 1ot consume an hour, The principal witness was Pritcher, who detailed the manner of the discovery and arrest, and added that “Gringo’ had offered to give him five thousand lars to let him go. The prisoner, through an interpreter, was permitted to make a statement. He declared tha: there was not one word in Pritcher's testimony; that he was ving up the creck to his cabin, hav ing been down at a Spanish dance house until after 2 o'clock morning; that he had been drinking, and hardly knew what he was doing, until Pritcher grabbed him by the collar, and th oned to blow his brains out; that all this occurred on ad, and he was not in the public nor near tho sluices. One or two miners testified to having seen ngo” at a late hour in the fan- o, where he was making a nuisance of himself as usual--drinking, quar reling and cursing everybody. AN UOGLY CIRCUMSTANCE, There was one circumstance in the onse which looked particularly bad for the Mexican. When first brought in he repeatedly declared that he had no money, while on being searched, to his apparent astonshment and consternation, nearly two ounces of conrse gold was found upon. He could give no account of how he got the dust, and swore some one must have put it in his pocket. The “‘jury” laughed outright when the ~poor “Gringo” told his atory, in which the host of spectators joined with hearty good will. From that moment the prisoner evidently realized, as the !‘myu said, that bhe had “gone up the flume.” Even John Martin, who had asked Sam Pritcher a good many sus- picious questions, as if he did not fel entiroly matisfied with tho truth of his statement, waas clearly stag, od by this circumatance. Noverthe- loss, when it was proposed to hang the Mexican, Martin strenuously objected and urged some other kind of punish- ment. “You see, boys,” he said, “‘there may be something wrong in this matter, after all, though it cer tainly looks bad for Gringo. T know he’s a mean, worthless, good-for-noth- g fellow, but I don’t like the idea of hanging a man on this evidence. T don’t exactly know why, for he cer- tainly appears to be guilty, but some- thing seems to say within me that wo haven’t got the right man yet.” Some- how his eyes met those of Pricher as he said this, and more than one noticed that Sam turned pale and cowered beneath that meaning glance, A SWOCKIN NE. Martin's efforts finally prevailed, so far as the prisoner’s life was con- cerned, notwithstanding the ominous murmurs of the angry crowd, who were evidently disappointed at tho prospect of his escaping the extreme penalty of Judge Eynch. The dis- appointment was not of long dura- tion, however, as the jury speedily resolved, as a sort of a compromise, that the prisoner should be stripped and given fifty lashes. This was deemed satisfactory all around with the exception of the wretched victim, who seemed to have a mortal horror of the whipping proposed. Up to this time he had sullenly refused to ask for mercy; but now, with terror depictea in every feature of his vicious, ugly face, he begged franti- cally for them to hang him. He was not afraid to die, but grew sick and fanit at the very thought of receiving fifty lashes. The poor creature’s chndiuuu were unavailing, and more ead than alive, he was drag- ged to the improvised whipping post. Some difficulty was an- ticipated in getring anybody to do the floguing, but Pritcher stepped forward and volunteered for the brutal work, No one disputed his fitness for the job, and the zeal with which he per- formed his hornble task was testitied to by the agonizing groans and yells of the suffering wretch, whose blood spurted at overy cruel blow, Strong mon grew sick at the horrible sight, and Mr. Martin's interforence, after thirty-five lashes had been given, met with general approval. Blosding and wounded, his back blistered with thick livid welts, showing the fearful vigor of his punishment, the crushed and trembling victim was lod away to a neighboring cabin, Kindly hunds as sisted all they could to relieve his pain, and m w short while he sunk off towards the Spanish quartor of Griz zly Flat, muttering as he went the most fearful imprecations on the ac- cursed Gringoes. MORE MISCHIEF ON POOT, Threo months rotled away, and Girizzly Flat was at rost. Tne terri- ble example made of “Gringo” had borne good fruit. No more sluice wero invaded; no more mid- night raids made upon the claims, Sam Pritcher meanwhile had grown quito dissipated after his famous ex ploit, and spont the liberal reward re- boxes ceived in drinking, carousing wnd gambling. The eipture of poor “Gringo,” although netiing $1,000, had dono him 1o good, that was evi- dent. Strangely cnough, at the ex- piration of the time mentioned, not withstanding the bloody lesson taught to evil-doers, and the additional fact that go” had disappeared immediately after the whip ping, the nuners discovered that the old game was being yel again by somebody., Ownee the o was disappointment and vrifled sluices; onee more il bo seon indisputable signs of the boxes being seraped and de- spoiled of their golden store, night after night) and onee azain the angey, utraged voners uttered curses both load wud deep, setsomeof theirnumbe to guard the elaims ut night, nasned death at this time to any on caught in the wet of robbery, John Mar bofore, was e of the heaviest sufferers, and 1 d was in the habit of Lughingly suyin to him that but tor his *saving the d—d greascr, ould have bean wi end to sluiee-robbing on Grizaly Flat.” Martin nocepted these pro of truth | in the | I'HE OMAHA DAlLY BE voking taunts quietly. He said noth- ing, and took his place at the wind less and down the hole as usual, but a close observer would have noticed that he was very carnestly thinking about something, One day, after they had all knocked off work, he went down the creek to the cabin of a man named Hogue who had been once a well known de tective in a large eastern city. After shaking hands and taking a scat on an old ricketty bench which served for a chair, Martin smd: “‘Hogue, I've come do'¥n to get your opinion on a matter that has been troubling me for some time. You know, as well as | do, what has been going on in this camp in the way of sluice-robbing You saw that poor devii of a Mexican whipped nearly to death only a short He has loft the Flat, gone the Lord knows where, and yet the | stealing goes on just as bad as Now, you have had some experienc in this sort of thing, and T want t tell you what T think and get advice.

Why, sir, day and night, for months at a time, I've fol lowed my man like his shadow. Some- times e would get away, for some- times they beat the best of us, but nine times out of ten we would bag him as sure as fate. Now, Mr. Mar. tin, you have roused my old profes- sional feeling, as it were, and if you say the word T'll tell you before you're a week older whether Sam Pritcher is doing this husiness.” The two men separated Martin went back to his timo ago. or is and ns, John claim as said, & fow days, on account of a spell of sickness, ANOTHER SENSATION.

The wretch, caught i the act, while plun- doring the very claim he had been paid to guard and defend, con fessed his crimo and begyed piteously for morcy. There was no need of a trial in lis case, say what should be the puuishment. Judge Lynch was inexorable this time, The jury decided unavimously that such a man wasn't fit to live, and gave him notice the next morning at sun- rise to prepare to meet his Maker. They wore all satisfied now that the Mexican, who had been so barbar- ously treated, was an innocent man, and were furionsly indiguant at the porjury and brutality of the wretch who has got them into that ugly scrape. As for Pritcher, a more cravon-hearted specimen of a white man could not be imagined He was utterly broken down, and seemed to think himsslf one utterly without hope, eithor in this world or the world to come. After it was known that he was to bo hanged at sunrise, he ad- mitted to Mr. Martin and several oth- ers that poor “Gringo” had suffered unjustly. He had been afraid of sus picion attaching to himself, and there- fore seized the drunken Mexican while on his way home. In order to make his victim’s guilt appear more certain he had, without any trouble, put the gold dust into his pocket. Pritcher, unlike the unfortunat: “Gringo,” beg- ged lustily for lifo on any terms. ‘Do with me as you did the Greaser,”” he implored. ~*Why Zshould you hang me, and lot him go? Awm't an Ameri- can a8 good a8 o Greaser?” as if for- gotful that the poor Mexican was in- nocent of any crime whatever., dreadful punishment of the lash, the bare thought of which had frightened “Gringo” almost to death, was eager- ly prayed for by the wretched crimi- except to nal, whose covardly whining and pleading was sickening to hear THE EXECUTION AT SUNKISE. Slowly the night wore away, not- withstanding that many of the boys, wmstead of going to their cabins, got on a big sproe, and made Grizzly Flat very lively with their noisy revelry. Long before sun-up the winers came flocking in from all quarters, These, however, were not the ouly specta- tors. The Spanish and Mexican pop ulation wero on hand in large nuwi- bers, while a sprinkling of Digger Indians hovered around the outskirts of the town, One of the first men to make his appearance in the mornuog of the execution was the unhappy “Gringo,” who said he had come many a long mile to *‘sco the fun, When the prisoner was brought out, being helped along by a sturdy miner on each side, ‘‘Gringo” could no longer vestrain his vindictive joy. With scowling face he pressed up close to the doomed man, and began savagely showering upon him a tor ront. of Spamsh billingsgate, This conduct, despite his admitted griey- ance was too cowardly to suit the denizens of Grizzly Flat, and they s0on drove “Grngo” back, and gave him to understand that he must keep quiet or leave the camp. After con- sidering the matter, however, it was deemed no more than fair to let the rovongeful Mexiean put the rope aroundSam's veck, and 1t was observed that many of his mtrymen eagorly came forward to a1 e work of death, No gallows wus erected, but when the last minute had arrived, one end of the long rope was thrown over thestout limb of an old ok tree and the other made into a noose, and securely fastenod about Pritoher's neck. The miserable man was too tar gone to stand alone, and between fright and whiskey {freely given him by the boys) he seemed to be almost unconscious. Suddenly, at a signal agreed upon, a hundred ' strong hands soized the fatal rope, and with a wild Pritcher | shout the guilty wrotched was launched into eternity, A KIOTOUS HOLIDAY.

Whiskey flowed like water, and the fandango and gambling dens were liberally patronized. Among the most active participants in these boisterous festivities was the Mexican “Gringo,” who succeeded during the night in starting a big row between a party of Americans and a number of his countrymen, in which pistols and knives were freely used and more than one man badly injured. Next day the Flat resumed its wonted ap- pearance; the boys went back to their labors, and the ented the usual scene of cheerful, happy, busy lifo which characterized mining opera tions in the good oldearly days. pr “GRINGO” COMES TO GRIEF, elu- of And now, strange to say, in col sion, within a year from the dat the exciting occurrences which here recorded, a robber «hot and killed while pursuing his vil- lianous work in a neichboring camp, falling dead in his tracks in the boxes.
