POOR SCOTTY.
Wei!, deer reader, the Hcott trouble
bu reached an end *o far na be la
materially concerned. The spirit of
malice, hatred and malovolence that
marked hi* earlier persecution by the
board of supervisors has followed down
the rears with Increasing Intensity end
finally culminated in cold-blooded
murder by an organised band of outlaws
and red-handed villains. This effect is
not without a cause, and the cause is
self-evident. Those of us who have
sat nervously by the wayside and heard
contumely cast upon him from the
stump during two political campaigns,
and read anarchy as preached by the
populist press of tho county can readily
place the blame whore It properly be
longs. We can see that these speakers
and editors with ends to be gained have
wrought up the Ignorant and embold
ened the lawless into believing that
Bcott was a monster of frightful mein In
league with the courts and that the only
way of securing what they termed Justice
was to take the law into their own hands
and wreak summary vengeance for fan
cied wrongs. They have succeeded and
let us hope that their conscience—if
suoh a thing is felt within their breast—
Justifies them in ruthlessly tearing a
man from the bosom of his family,
shooting Innocent men, women and
children, and bearing him away into the
wildness and loneliness of the dark
prairie, there to be tortured and butch
ered like a wild animal or a venomous
make of the Jungle. Thie la the cauae
of the heartleaa deed, and no man need
take time to deny It. The (tump speak
Ing waa done by a man who already haa
blood upon h!a bands, the result of the
leadership of a mob In O’Neill some
years ago. The anarchy as promulgated
by the populist press may be seen in
back numbers of the Beacon Light and
no matter what its villainous and cow
ardly author may now say in lamenta
tion as he views the result and natural
outcome of his socialistic teaching the
crimson finger of Cain muat surely
haunt his waking moments and fill his
sleep with fearful dreams and dread
alarms. We do not aoouse him of mur
der in the first degree nor do we aoouse
him of being an accessory, as we could
not successfully sustain the accusation
before a Holt county jury at the present
time, but the facts and surrounding cir
cumstances are embossed and emblaz
oned upon the minds of our readers and
words from us are more than vain and
uaelees. We do not like to say that the
Independent party is in sympathy with
the brutal assassination, and we will not
•ay it—although there can be no doubt
but that every member of the mob was a
populist—but we will say that they up
hold the editor in his nefarious teach
ings and the proof lies In the fact that
they keep him in their employ and steal
the public money in tax list deals to rec
ompense him foi his knavish work.
The crime that has been committed was
not done without advice and the finger
of scorn and ahame is pointed at the
man who haa earned that reward. How
thankful we are that there is a glowing
hereafter. Justice may never be done
on thie earth but the Lord has said that
vengeance is his and according to the
holy word of God he will claim his own
in due season.
i flew Year s day was perhaps the sad
dest ever witnessed in O'Neill. “I wish
you a happy New Year” was rarelv
heard and even then it lacked the proper
ring. The minds of our people dwelt
tearfully upon a lonesome home, a wld
dowed lady and an orphaned child,
made so by man’s inhumanity. Ii
seemed as though a funeral pall had
been thrown over our little city and
silenced the merry greetings of the aged
and the joyous shout of the youthful
None could be found hardy enough tc
Justify the atrocious deed and only re
grets were heard; even the breeze seemec
laden with sadness. Although the re
mains of poor Scotty probably lay bur
led in some yawning canyon or sunk li
the dismal depths of the Niobrara, tin
sadness shown in O’Neill was an honoi
and a worthy tribute to a man who wai
more sinned against than sinning, and i
rebuke to his murderers.
The dead and the deep are always giv
ing up their secrets and we sincerely
hope that an eye for an eye and a tootl
for a tooth may be exacted before thi
.’-. - ... . \ '-y
friend* of Justice nml fair play allow
thla crime to become a reminiscence to
be related upon winter evening* when
Ibe coala glow upon the hearth.
To Scott we say rest: to bl« murder*
era we nay that we hope that there la
something m the theory of spiritualism:
that Hcotty may he able to materialize
before them at the moat uncanny times
and in the moat uncanny place* anil lay
hare before them his gaping Wounds,
remind them of the heartrending ap
peal* of his little child for mercy and
thus haunt them to perdition.
Scott's murderers must lie run to
earth. Thla is not only a duty, but an
absolute necessity in order to check
these outbursts of lawlessness. The
people should not allow themselves to
become terrorized and made to lie down
In alienee. The men who compose this
ring are known from ceuler to circum
ference nud there is a way to uiuko
them ipilt and protect our homes. This
is what we tldnk of mob law as np
plled in this instance.
