THE ADVENTURE8 OF MaKILLOP YOUNG MAN. tsmmeanamea• (Written by Robert Govenlock, Seafortih) • (Continued from last Week.) I was trying to get up a company all the time, as it Wee impossible to travel tbrough Mexico without a large company. I had a tent pitched on the sreen, and had tWO othereyoung men, one Jelue O'Mara, who proved himself a steadfast friend -ail through my travels. There were plenty of duels; in the hond near by, so we spent! some of our firm shooting. One day, when we were returng home, we stopped at a hcitel. I set ray dou'ble-barrelged gun down by the doer.- All at once a Dlr. Young came running out, pick- ed *up 'my gun'an into the house, and shot * a men. He came out, set down my gun, went back again, and) shot he-. man with his pistol. He and this men had quarrelled. The mur- derer walked about all afternoon. No one interfered with hira, as the dead man had no friende, One a Mr. Young's friends came over to our tent- in the afternoon, to tor_ row ray gun. He Wale Hammer, the 1 ° rascal wile ,artole our tea -kettle oft the e fire, on bur way to Secorra. He told II us there were thirteen in their gang, that they were not out of money yet, and they were not ashamed to get it when they were. They were every one regular 'black -legs and tecoundrele., They still. had the money they got for the Indian's scalp, horse, and saddle. So. they used it to get up a fan -tangle that night. -There were a good few Mexican girls in .the place, and the house provided the music. .All you.had to do was to treat your part- ner when you too,k a dance; which cost you twenty-five cents. I took a look In amout nine o'clock, and found a pretty rough -looking crowd, all black -legs and gamblers, with their pistols and bowie -knives buckled a- Yound their waists. I did not stay long, we I thought there would be a fight. My tent was just across, on the green.' The Mexican*, who kept the hotel, got frightened at such a crowd, and got a Mr. Clark to run) the hotel for the night, while he took charge of the house. When the murderer, Mr. Young, came in, Mr. Crark ordered him' out, as he did not want a. mur- derer in the house. Young went a- arount immediately and told all his frier:3U he had been insulted. Jack- son, tOld hirri to go be and they would 'heck him. They4were not ing in get- ting up a row, in 'which they used ' their pietola end knives freely. Mr. Clark ,was cut all .to pieces, his In- side ;hanging out in two of three placee, and a *young man, while, trying - to save him, wee shot 1A• the legs. This -young man was going to Cali- fornia with me. Jackson came to Gun tent the next morning to get a shave, as. I had a good razor. He threw down his Dowle- knifea which was somewhat broken, and told us what they had done: He said it served Clark right, as he should have minded his own eusiness. He norrowed a mule from one of the tioys in our tent, said he wattled to go up to Alphonse, a place ten miles up the river, but he gave it to Young, the murderer, to ride across' the river into Mexico. They thought if they got him away all the 'elame would, be on him'. Mr. Clark was one of our men, and they knew there would be a trial at once. So the most of the gang clear- ed out. Jackson had ',scarcely got tie way, when Mr. Sheldon, the quarter- master" clerk, came into our t'ent4 There were three of us he the tent, and he told us we must take action: at once, as they had killedene of our men, and we had; no security- for our own lives. He told us to ' come out armed, When the church 'bell rang at ten o'clock, 'We did so, and caught three of the gang. There were De- tween forty and -fifty of us, I am sorry to say we did not catch the worst ones, as Hammer, Jackson. and others had cleared out in the morning. We caught Butler, Wade, and another man, took *them into a house, and get a Mexican, judge see six Mixicae and six American, jury- men. Mr. Sheldon acting as inter- preter, stood in the middle of the room, with a loaded pistol in each hand. We were all standing, as there were no seats, in the TOOrfl. The trial lait about four hours-. At last Mr. Sheldon delivered the sen- tence of the court, that they were to be taken to the nearest tree and Ihanged by the neck till they were dead. Butler appealed to be ta,ken, back to the States for trial, but was told there was no appeal from, this trial. We did not 'know nut there would be (to lalttemet to rescue tem, as there would most assuredly have been if the leaders had not ail been absent, so we toek them to the *nearest tree 'and 'thirty of us all armed to the teeth, formed a ring around the tree.
