THE OMAHA DAluT BEE : FRIDAY , JANUARY 27 , 1882. THE SLUICE ROBBER. AD Episode of the Early Min ing Days nt Grizzly Pint. The Mnn Who Plundered nt Hcmos Mlnora-How Ho Was Suspected , Detected and Punished Cnmp Lynch Law. San Tranche ) Call. Grizzly Flat was excited. ISrery botly had quit work , ntul nn ui lj crowd of rough-looking minors jath ored nrouncl the "Long Tom" B.ilooi and Gather's stoiv. From thu npprnr nnco of things it w.is evident thai Romothint ; voryMimisiml Imil happened. . No ordinary ahnntitiK ixn" f or mining nccidont would liavo kicked up Hiioli i fuss , and as for "a Blriko" or "i find1 , Biich things were of too fro qiient nccnrruncu to make the boy knock oir work and leave tlioir claim nt this limn of day. The fact in Grbzly Flat was enjoying its drat rotl hot sonsation. Everything that pro ceiled it , not excepting the murder o old man Moore nnd the lynching o Sydney Hill , wan tame in comparison nnd the occasion of it all wm the arrest of n Mexican callei "Gringo , " for robbing nluiccs , Thii rascally work ban been going on foi months , the claims being visitecl dur ing the niulit , the rufllrn taken up , am the boxes raked and scraped an if will n fine-tooth comb. In spite of overj prccaulion , such as a "clean-up" al the close of each day's work , instoac of on Saturday night , ns usual , the lot : was considerable , tonay nothing of tin trouble and worry caused by it. Several oral companies stood guard with shot guns night after night , but the ntcal ing wont steadily on , and the norpo trator or perpetrators could not bo do tooted. Naturally enough , the mysterious torious midnight visitor puzzled tin boyH awfully , and more than one mat In camp began to bo looked upon will suspicion. HTAUTMNO NBWS. In the midst of this anxiety and RiispeuBO , while all wore worrying ovoi these nocturnal depredations , wore : ran like wild-firo alonj { the camp and through the surrounding country thai the tliiof had been caught at last. Sam 1'ritcher , who had been hired U : stand watch over the "Gold Minors' claim , was the successfulBontinol. and immediately became the hero of the hour. Sam was a tall , lank , lantern jawed Misaourian , comparatively r now man on Grizzly Flat , and verj few know anything about him Hi certainly didn't love work , althougl ; doing a little occasionally in the waj of mining , while his vicious disposi t if in and gambling propunsitiei woi-o not calculated to win him nmnj friends. On the subject of elince robbing Sam had been onoot the 11103 indignant , notwithstanding ho novci owned a foot of ground , nnd was of tei heard to swear that the miscreant win would rob an hcmo.il miner ought t < bo strung up like a dog to the nearoa tree. Very likely it was because o his zeal in this respect that caused bin to bo one of the first men placed 01 guard by the minors to protect thoii property nnd discover the guilty part ] or parties. Unlike several others who wore selected for the same duty Sam proferrrd to ' 'go it alone , " stub bornly refusing to stand guard nloni with anybody also , and swearing , wit ] a terrible oath , that ho didn't proposi to share either the regard or the glor with any man. Bis account of tin discovery of the thief , nnd the manner nor in which ho effected the capture was that ho hud hidden himself be hind a pile of railings , from whicl point ho could have n good view o the sluices without being soon by tin robber. About 3 o'clock in tin morning , or botwcon 2 and 3 , ho sav A man spying around in n stealth ] manner , as if to make sure there wai no danger , and then deliberately pan : up and down the long line of sluice boxes , bonding over in a stoopiii ) position , and scraping up the dust a ho wont along. Bringing his sholgui to bear upon him , when ho had conn within close range , Sam made him hi prisoner , nnd brought him into canii This was substantially the story o the capture , its told by the long Mis ourian with n liberal ombolishmont o oaths. The way of it was that tin Mexican n lazy , idle , worthless ful low wan always cursing the Ameri cans ns "d Gringoos" ( Yankees ) and the latter , probably for this re.i eon , and because the growling black guard disliked it so much , faatenci upon him thu name of "Gringo" ii return. All over the camp , niuoii ] the miners , he was called nothing else and the boys delighted to shout i after him wherever ho wont. Hereto fore , however , whatever might In "Gringo's" shortcomings , lie had neve been suspected of being a thiuf. Stil there was no very great surprise min gled with the popular indignation a finding this particular Mexican luu boon caught in thu sluices. TJIli OASIT AT FiVKK : IIKAT. Daylight saw the little camp fuirl , boiling with excitement. More thai one rough-looking miner , even befor knowing anything beyond that " greaser had boon caught robbin sluices , " fiercely domnndod that h be swung up without judge or jury "Jiang him ! " was the general verdict without waiting for the evidence o going through the forum of tiial. For tunately for thu mihemblo wretch there wore cooltr houl : among th uavago crowd that cursed nnd nco\vloi lit him ns he lay there , tied like i dog to a heavy bunch in thu cibin o John Martin , one of the "colid" mei of Grizzly Flut , Martin had In bunds full that morning. Ho wai heavy loser by the sluice robbing , am probably for that reason the unfot tunule ' 'Gringo" had been turned ovc to him by his captor. But John Mat tin did not believe in hanging a mat first and trying him afterwards , ns di BO many of liis rash and excited new ciates , oven if ho were "nothing but greaser , anyhow ? " It wan no oas task , however , to restrain the ponulu fury , particularly when the cliuii lightning whiskuy began to make i /self felt us the day wore on. J'rilcln Hindu hiinaolf particularly active i demanding summitry vengeance , an the glory of lii exploit gavu him git'i intluenuo with thu ox.ispuratiKl mult tudo. "Lot'a hang him t < > tree , " li shouted , "and you bet wo won't ' lutv any moroHluico-robbnig in this ouum. 'J'hut bio advice would huvo been fo lowed there can bo no question , had 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 bo called. Through their active exertions and earnest appeals it was n ! lait determined to OIVK HIM A TRIAL. For this purpose a minors' jury waj formed , then and there , under a hig oak tree , with John Martin for judge of the impromptu court , lint littii time was wauled on technicalities 01 anything else , nnd the whole trial did not consume an hour , The principa witness was Pritcher , who detailed the manner of the discovery and arrest , and added that "Gringo" had ollored to give him five thousand dollars lars to lot him go. The prisoner , through nn interpreter , was permittee ! to make a statement. Ho declared that there was not one word of truth in 1'riteher's testimony ; that ho wa going up the creek to his cabin , hav ing been down at ri Spanish danco- houno until after 2 o'clock in the morning ; that he had been drinking , and hardly know what ho was doing , until Pritchur grabbed him by the collar , and threatened to blow his brains out ; that all this occurred on the public roul , and ho was not inner nor near the sluices. One or two minors testified to having seen "Gringo" nt a late hour in the fan- elango , where he was making n nuisance of himself as usual--drinking , quar reling and cursing everybody. AN UOIiY t'llH'OMWANl'i : . There was one circumstance in the case which looked particularly bad for the Mexican. When first brought in ho repeatedly declared that he had no money , while on being searched , to his appaiont nstoniahment ind consternation , nearly two ounces of coarse gold was found upon. Ho could give no account of how he got the dust , nnd swore some ono must have put it in his pock'ot. The "jury" laughed outright when the poor "Gringo" told his story , in which the host oFspoctators joined with hearty 500d will. From that moment thu prisoner evidently realized , as the hoys said , that ho had "fjono up thu Hume. " Even John Martin , who had asked Sam Pritcher n good many sus picious questions , as if ho did not. feel entirely satisfied with the truth of his statement , was clearly stagger ed by this circumstance. Neverthe less , when it was proposed to hang the Mexican , Martin strenuously objected and urged some other kind of punish ment. "You see , boys , " ho said , "there may bo something wrong in this matter , after nil , though it cer tainly looks bad for Gringo. I know he's n mean , worthless , good-for-noth ing fellow , but I don't like the idea of hanging n man on this evidence. I don't exactly know why , for ho cer tainly appears to be guilty , but some thing seems to say within mo that wo haven't got the right man yet. " Homo , how his eyes mot those of Prtcher as ho said this , and more than ono noticed that Sam turned pale and cowereel beneath that meaning glance. A HUOL'KINfl SCKNE. Martin's eflbrto finally prevailed , so far ns the prisoner's life was con cerned , notwithstnnding the ominous murmurs of the angry crowd , who were evidently disappointed at the prospect of his escaping thu oxtremu penalty of Juditu Lynch. The dis appointment was not of long dura tion , however , as the jury speeelily resolved , as a sort of a compromise , that the prisoner should be stripped and given fifty lashes. This wan doomed satisfactory nil around with the exception of the wretched victim , who seemed to have a mortal horror of the whipping proponed. Up to this time ho hud sullenly refused to nsk for mercy ; but now , with terror dppictou in every feature of his vicious , ugly face , ho begged franti cally fpr thorn to hang him. He war. not afraid to die , but grow nick and fnnit at the very thought of receiving fifty lashes. The poor cronturo'n nndings wore un'availing , nnd muic d than alive , ho was driig < gud to thu improvised whipm'ni. post. Some dilliculty was an ticipnted in gulling anybody to do tin flogging , but Pritchur stopped forward nnd volunteered for thu lmit.il woik , No onu disputed his fitness for tin job , nnd thu zuixl with which ho pur1 formed his horrible task was testified to by thu agonizing groans and yells ol the sutlerim ; wruteh , whoso blood spurtud nt every cruel blow.

Strangely enough , at the ex piration of the time mentioned , not withstanding the bloody lesson tiiugh to ovil-doorH , and tint additional fnc that "Giingo" had disappearei immediately after thu whip ping , thu minors discovoroi that the old game was beiii ( played ngain by somebody.

" Martin necopted tlioso prei voking taunts < | uiotly. Ho said noth ing , and took his place at the wind less and down the hole as usual , bit ) a close eibsorvor would have noticed that ho was very earnestly thinking about something , Ono day , after they had all knocked off work , ho went down the creek to the cabin of A man named Iloguu , who had been once n well known detective tectivo in n Inrgo eastern city. After shaking hands and taking n scat on an old rickclty bench which served fern n chair , Martin said : "Hogiiu , 1'vo come down to got your opinion on a matter that has been troubling mo for some tiinp. You know , as well as I do , wlmt has been K"ii'g ' on in this camp in the way of aluice-robbinj , ' . You sw that poor ilovii of n Mexican whipped noirly to death only u short timu ago.

Now , you have had some experience in this sort of limit , ' , and 1 want to tell you what 1 think and uest your advice. I mny do a certain man wrong by my suspicions , and that is why 1 have cumu to you. " Ho then related to hinrhnw hu hud lever been fully aatislied of the Mexi can's guilt , di-spito of nppu trnncoa to , ho contrary ; that hn had from the Irst a suspicion in hia mind that Sam I'rilcher himself wns the guilty party , ind that hu , now , in the light ot what tad occurred sine" , thought so more .ban uvur. Thu ux-duteutivo listened latiuntly to the end , and then said : 'When I was in the old busmen * to lomo wo had just onu wiy nt thu bu- { intiinu to treat a emu like this.Vo watched our man. Why , sir , day nnd light , for months nt a time , I've fol- owetd rny man like his shadow. Some- , iniL's hu would get nway , for some- imes they beat the best of us , but ihio times out of ton wu would bac lim as suru an fate. Now , Mr. Marin - in , you havu roused my old profoa- ional feeling , ns it wuru , nnd if } on say the word I'll toll you buforoyou're i weuk older whether Sam Pntclior is doing this business. " The two men pupnratud , John Martin wont hick to his claim as usual , but HiigiiD hud to "lay oil" ho aid , n few eLiys , on account of n spull of sickness. ANOTHKIl SKNHATION. Forty-eight houn h id not elapsed rom the date of John Martin's visit x > the ex-detectivu , until Gnz/.ly Flat tad another soiiiwtion This timu it was not "n dirty Greaser , " but Sam L'ritcher , himself , who was dr.igirod juforo thu rough jurors of thu mines HI a chargu of robbing sluices. The evidence wan overwhelming , lloguu ind donu his work wull. Thu guilty wruteh , caught in the act , whilu plun dering thu very claim hu had huen mid to guard nnd tlofuiiel , con- 'osscd hiti crime and begged ) ituously for mercy. Tliuio was no mod of u trial in his emu , except to say what should bo the punishment. Judge Lynch wait inoxor.iblu this time , i'liu jury decided unanimously that Biich n man Wasn't fit to live , and g.ivo lim noticu thu next morning at sun rise to pruparo to meut his Maker. L'lioy wuro all siitmfiud now that thu luxicm , who had been HO barbar ously treated , wns an innocent man , ind wore furion.il ) indignant at thu ) urjury and brutality of the wretch vho has got them into that ugly scrape. As for Pritehur , : i moiu cravuii-huarted specimen of a white nan coulel not bo imagined Ho was utterly broken down , and Boomed to Jiink hinmalf onu utterly without lope , uilhur in this worlel or the world to come. After it wna known that hu was to bo hanged at sunrise , hu ad- mitlud to Mr. Martin and sevuial oth ers that poor "Gringo" hud suffered unjustly. Hu had beiun nfrnid of sim licion nttnching to himself , nnd thore- foru suited thu drunken Mexican whilu on his w.iy home. In order to make liis victim's guilt appear more certain iiu had , without any trouble , put thu gold dust into his pocket. Pritchor , unlike thu uiifortuuat > "Giingo , " bi'g- gud lustily for lifu on any turms. ' 'Do with mo as you did the Greaser , " ho implored. "Why 'should you hang inu , and let him got Ain't an Ameri can as good as n Grouser ? " us if forgetful - gotful that thu poor Mexican wns in- noeunt of any crime whatever. The diumlfiil punishment of thu lash , thu biiru thought of which li'id frightuiiod "Gringo" almost to death , was uiiger- ly prayed for by the wretched crimi nal , whose co'vardly whining and pluading was siukuning to hear. Till' KXKCU'IION AT hUMllhi : . Slowly the night woru away , not withstanding that many of thu boys , uiBtund of going to thuir cabins , got on n big upruo , nnd madu Grizzly Flat very livuly with thuir noisy ruvolry. Long bofoiu sun-up thu Illinois came Hooking in fiom all qmuturH. These , however , wore not the only specta tors. Ttiu Spanish and Mexican pop < illation wuro on hand in largu num bers , whilu u sprinkling of Dig ci Indians hovered around thu outskirts of thu town. Onu of thu fust men ti make his appearance in thu iiiormm. of thu execution wan thu unhappj "Gringo , " who said hu had conn many a long inilu to "seu thu fun , ' Whun thu prisoner was brought out , being helped iilung by n stuuty niinei on eneh aide , "Gringo" could ne longer lubtriiin his vindictive joy , With Hcouling face ho pressed ii [ close to thu doomed man , mid begin savagely showering noon him n tor runt of Spanish bitliiigB atu. Thii conduct , duspito his admitted griuv inico was too cowardly to suit tin dunizuiiH of Grizzly Flat , and thoj soon drove "Guiigo" back , nnd guvi him to understand that hu must keur quiet or leave the camp. After con suloripg the matter , howuvur , it wm doomed no moro than fair to let tin n vi'pgofiil Muxioin put the ropi aiiiutidSnm'd neek , and it WOH obsorvui that many of his countrymen engorl ] cnmo forwiud tn n < ti i . i.u woiL ol eloath , No gallows \vns erect eel , bill when thu hist minute had arrived one end of thu long rope was thrown over the stout limb of an old oak trot and thu other madu into n i loose , ant securely fastened about Pritohur'i nock.

Whiskey flowed lik < water , nnd the fandango and gambling dons wore liberally patronized. Atnonf ; ha most active participants in these Miistoroua festivities was the Moxicat "Gringo , " who succeeded during lh ( night fii starting n big row between r ; > arty of Americans and a number 01 iis countrymen , in which pistols nnd < nivcs were freely used and more hnn ono m.in bully injured.
