WHEN CRIVE WAS RAMPANT | Reminiscences of Twenty Years Ago in & Central Nebraska County. SOME CELEERATED MU DERS RECALLED | sherift wired the governor for instructions. The answer came not to attempt to balk the crowd, as bloodshed would follow. This was the cue for the crowd, and a few hours be fore the time set for the execution the stock- ade was denolished and_the execution was | witnessed by hundreds, The dead man was buried in a shallow grave as soon as life was estinct, but that night some physicians resurrected the body. The sheriff learned of this fact and attempted to securo it, but he did not succeed until the physiciins had - { dissected it. The bones of Richards were thrown Into the street ana for days were Bloody Pages of History that fave Been | cayion about by the village dogs. At last Almost Forgotten in the Transition 1o Civitization and Law ana Order, The early Listory of life in central N braska contains much that pertains to crime and bloodshed. For years Fort Kearney was the resting point for pioneers of the western trail, and here the gambler and the thug found rivh prey. In those days the general government had its lands full of graver problems, that of hunting down and vunishing evil doers whose crimes were com- Smitted on the Fort Kearney Military rescr ration. The result was that for several rears murders were an every day occurrence | $here. During these years Zcarney county was slowly filling up with a sturdy class of pioneers who have since rede red it from the desert and made it one of the most pros. perous and fruitful counties of this great state. But the criminals who found sceurity on the military reservation made many a descent outside of it, and the result was that the carly history of Kearney county contains many stories of murdc A few days ago Judge Joel Hull and Louis A. Kent, both pioncers of Kearney county, were found in a reminiscent mood, and from them was gleaned the following criminal history of the county: The fist murder in Kearney county, out- side of the military ress fon, occurred in December, 18573, at Walker's ranch. This 1s 4 point which was situated between the villages of Keene and Wilcox, both of which were lawd out long y after the murder. Walkes carried the mail from Kearney City to Republican City, and he built a the point named forhis own convenience and the convenience of those who traveled over the route with him, It wasknown all over the country as the “‘Half-Way IHous One night during the month stated there were several parties stopping at the ranch Among them was a4 young man named A Polly. Duving the evening two men named Lewis and Clark became involved in a quar- rel with several other parties over a claim contest. They resorted to the fronticr method of arbitration, and in the firing which resulted Polly was killed. No one knew who firod the fatal shot. Polly’ father had been elected constable at ihe election the month before, but as he did not care to hold an inquest on the body of his own son he never qualified, Marder of an Aged Couple. The next murder, or murders, occurred on wn islund in the Platte river, opposite Kearney. An aged German named Febetzand his wife lived there.

Williams’ {»ou_v got loose and broke into au oat field be- onging to the \'romans, who took it up. When Williams heard the Viomans had his pony he loaded up his shotgun and swore he would kill them both. He went over to their place and found both'the men_ standing in front of their stuble door. Williams, with- out o word, raised his gun and killed David As Tom tried 10 escape Williams turned the gun on him and literally blew his head to fragments. Williams was _arrested, tried and couvicted and sentenced to the peniten- tiary for ten years. He was acfended by Judge Hamer. When his term expired he returncd to Lowell and threatened to sue Hamer for allowing him be convieted, Public sentiment ran high, and a mob was formed for the purpose of lynching Williams, but e fled. The forming of this mob w the dircet cause of the remo seat from Lowoll to Minden, “The next murder was 1n the spring of 1876, and oceurred in the streets of Lowell, The victim was Jumes McGonnigal, who was one of the county commissioncrs, McGonnigal had & brother-in-law named Joo Newell, and several times had to taie him home when he was drunk. Both men were hard drizkers and desperate men, One night Newell be came angry with McGonnigal for taking him home. Heégotn gun and swore that he would kill his brother-in-law on sight. He down the street und saw his vietim in front of & suloon. He stepped up behind im and without a word poured the contents of his shotgun in McGonmgal's back, killing him instantly. Newell was tried and acquitted. The fact of the matter is that MeGonnigal was the man tried, and the verdict of acquittal was rendered on the [ s alof the county round that there was noth viminal in illing 4 man who needed k i Tt was in the fall of 1878 that Sam Rich- ards killed five people in Kearney county. Late in the summer of that year Richards was in the jail at Kearney ‘for stealing a wateh. Iuthe sume cell ‘with him was a man %amed Haroldson, who was eharged with stealing lumber from the Platte river bridge. Richards rned that Harvoldson had J{¢ miles southwest of Minden, a cluim in ey county thirteen Haroldson told him chat his wife and hrce children were on the claim, but thut as soon 88 he got out of juil he was goiug back east and leave the family to hustle for themselves, When Richirds was releasca he Haroldson claim and remained s Shorly afterward the womun und eral days. ner three children disappeared.

Later, when inguiries were made as to when they were coming back, Richards said they were not coming back’; thav they bad gone back cast to join the husband and father. Not long after this Richards wept over to a claim occupied vy o man named Peter Anderson and killed b with an ax to get his moiey and team.

Shafler's de- fense was that he killed Smith in self-de- fense, That he and Smith were quarreling and thut Smith reached for his revolver. Seeing this Shaffer killed him. This plea ad its effect with the juries, but strange to Ato an_important fact seemed to have been overlooked by the twenty-four good men and true. When Smith's body was picked up the stub of a cigar was found be- ingers of his right hand and his revolver was found i his right hip pocket.
