HANGED THE BRUTE
William Hamilton Lynched by a Mob
at Asotin, Idaho
AHOTIN. IDAHO: William Han.ll-
ton. win. ii-*sHiilt"il and murdered Ma-
bel Richard*, the 11-ycar-old dutigbtor
of the sheriff of this county, was
hanged by u mob.
Sheriff Richard* swore In twenty-
live deputies to guard the prisoner,
lint the crowds fr«»m the surrounding
villages, augmented by 500 men from
l.ewi»ton, Idaho, filled Asotin until
nollting short of the soldiery roul-l
have saved Hamilton. Tho officers
refused to deliver the keys, but wera
so outnumbered by the nr.gr.v rqe.b
that they made no resistance with 11 re-
arms.
When Hamilton’s cell was reached
it was necessary to break down tho
Iron door to secure the prisoner, who
was crouched in the far end. T ills
was u matter of but a few rntaiVes,
and as tho leaders emerged trom the
Jail with tho terror stricken prisoner,
lho ntob took up the cry against him
and lie was beaten and kicked. Ham-
ilton was dragged three blo'-ka to a
telephone pole. Some of the .nob
thought hanging was too g,*;d and
wanted to torture the brute.
This was quickly overruled, how-
ever. and someone produced a black
mask like that used In. legal hangings,
and put it over Hamilton’s head The
mask reached down to his shoulders.
Then a rope was produced and he
was pulled up the pole. The death
struggles weto short ;uid soon the
ntob dispersed quietly, leaving tha
body suspended in the air.

Wiley Haines was seriously Injured,

Bennett positively identifies the out-

ones who during the year robbed the
Rock Island station at Hennessey and
killed one citizen, robbed the post-

Cross at Geary, and held up one hun-
dred persons one Sunday afternoon re-
cently In the Osage country.
The Martin gang originally haiM
from this country, where in the north-
ern portion they committed many dep-
redations, before being run out by of-
ficers. They went to Colorado, where
one of the Martins married an Indian
squaw, and forming partnership with
another Indian all went Into the out-
law business. The squaw and Indian
men were captured and squealed on
the Martins, who safely escaped hack

CONTEMPT OF COURT
GUTHRIE: It is reported here that
George W .Rotterman, a prominent
merchant of Mulhall, has placed him-
self in contempt of the district court
of this county hv removing twenty-
five head of cattle from the farm ol
Mrs. F. M. Wellsford, near Crescent
C’itv. She had secured a restraining
order, preventing the removal < f the
cattle by Rotterman, and if the report
be true that lie has taken possession
of them, the charge against him be-
comes a serious one.
Wellsford committed suicide several
months ago after trading his prop
ertv, including the said cattle to
Rotterman for a stock of goods at
Mulhall. Mrs. Wellsford claimed the
stock of goods was comparatively
valueless and refused to O. K. the
trade. She brought suit to have the
