DHNVKK , Col. , Jnnimry 19. Adispntoh from Ouroy says that Michael Cuddigan and wife , who w > cruelly murdered little May lloao Mathews , thoiradoptod daugh ter , wore last night taken fromfa room in Dolrhonico's Hotel , in which they were temporarily confined , and lynched. The work was done by an armed body of vig ilantes , whoso plan of operations had boon ao well laid out that the aliorilT and his men , who were guarding the prison ers , were powerless to prevent the con summation of the crime. Third street wan well filled with pedestrians at the time the vigilantes forced their way into the hotel , but the lynchors had evaded notice by stealthily creeping up the alloy , which runs parallel with the main street , until the hotel was reached. Then they boldly entered the hotel. Their auddon appearance in the street in front of Dolmonico'B did not cre ate any oxcitomhnt , and it was not until after they had entered the building that , by the discharge of a pistol , the pedestrians in the street knew that any thing unusual was going on. The shot was tired by Shorifl Howies , who , upon the appearance of the mob , and its de mand that Cuddigan and his wife bo given up , ordered the vigilantes to leave the room. They refused to go , but quietly , but firmly , gave the sheriff to understand that they wore determined to take the prisoners from him , and advised him not to interfere with them. THK HIIEUIPPOVKUrOWEUKII. Sheriff Howies defied them , and , with revolver in hand , bndo them adrnnco at their peril. The vigilantes then made a bold rush. They closed in upon him on all sides. The sheriff fought desperately and fired ono shot , but with no apparent effect. Before ho had an opportunity to shoot again the vigilantes , who had crept in behind him , grasped him tightly , pinioned his arms and took his revolver away from him. Ho was then thrown upon the floor and hold there by four powerful men while the remain ing vigilantes secured the prisoners and prepared to take them from the room. Cuddigan and his wife know well-enough what the tramp of foot in the hallway of the hotel meant. Before the vigilantes had fully filled the room they boqan to cry with fear and to beg piteously for their lives. The mob paid no attention to thom'until it had disposed of the sheriff. Then it bade them stop their whining as it would avail them nothing. After Rowloa had been secured , ono of the vigilantes wont to the door of the hotel to roconnoitor. Quito a number of persons had collected in Third street , but they did not seem to show any disposition to interfere. For that matter most of them were too dazed by the overwhelming boldness of the lynchors to realize the full horror of the scone which was about to bo enacted. Deputy Sheriffs Vandoyer and Woodcock who were with Sheriff Howies , would have rendered assistance , though it would have done no good , had they not fcoon placed under the muzzle of a brace of "Winchester rillca , and concluded doubtless that it would bo folly for thorn to remain where they wore. They getaway away from the acono as rapidly as they could. No ono blames thorn for it. They could hava accomplished nothingby remaining. The mob was determined , and had they remained they would prob ably have boon killed. Howies did not give in until ho was completely exhaust ed. It is believed that the vigilantes would have killed any other man who. made so desperate n fight to thwart them. Their respect for Howies , coupled with their desire to shod no more blood than was necessary , was all that saved him. IK THE HANDS pi' THK .MOD. It is surprising that there was not a terrible battle at the hotel at the time of the attack by the vigilantes. Two Broth ers and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Cuddi gan were in the hotel , and armed with self-acting Smith & Wesson's. The fact that they were armed would indicate that they feared an attempt would bo made to tear Cuddigan and his wife from the oilicors and hang them. It is , therefore , somewhat romarkablu that they should have disappoarKd on the en trance of the vigilantes. Carrel , brother of Mrs , Ouddigan. was in the room with his sister and brother-in-law. The vigi lantes did not Boom anxious to secure him , though they kept n sharp eye on him to prevent his escape. Ouddigan and his wife were the victims whom the lynchors sought. Finding that there wae but little to bo feared from the few people ple in the street without , the vigilantes proceeded to carry out their programme. Mrs. Cuddigan was the first to bo taken out. She was led into the street acarcolj able to walk because of her awful fright , crying hysterically for help for tin amts to defend her. But nor captort were unmoved , "Spare mo ; I am inno- cunt , God knows I am. " she Bcruamed , but the maiked men who hold her fas < answered not a word. Ono would have thought they were deaf , socomplotelj unmoved did they appear to bo uy hoi wild and pitiful cries for mercy. VAIN AITEAU TO TUB VH11LANTES. A moment later Ouddigan and Carroll wore brought out. They were but litth more composed than the woman. The } cursed and prayed and bogged all in 0111 breath , but all in vain , They won grulllv told to cease their noise , ant woroliurned on. From the movemen of the vigilantes after leaving the ho to it is clear that they had mapped out thi minutest details of their work. They a once started toward the northern pare o the city. But a few frightened pedcs trians who were standing holpleesl ; around the hotel followed. On the ; went , moving swiftly through the dark * nose , dragging their victims after them The night wan made hideous by the fear ful shrieks of the woman and cries fo : JKmercy , which were made every now ant JK then by the men. They begged for time for an hour , for a half hour , to prove thai innocence , but the vigilantes raovet on in their inexorable purpose. Carroll the brother-in-lawWM led down Soventl troot. Of his fate you shall" know here- , ft < r. Cuddigan and his wife were taken o the northern boundary of the city. Vhon Undo Tommy Andrews' cabin was cached the vigilantes , without ordnr or ipokon word , came to a halt. In fact , hero were no orders given. All the men in the great body of maikcd men seemed ) act by preconcerted arrangement , 'ho ' trembling Cuddigan and his wife oalizcd that their end had come. The otnan's wails and cries for mercy cro louder and more pitiful than over , 'lie ' scene was a horrible ono. Thodark- CSB was lit up hero and there by the relly-liko glare of a lantern , and the ris- ng moon cast a weird light over the , wful scono. ( 'UIDIOAN HANDED PllOM A JIIIH1B POLE. There was no time lost. Ropes , which ad before boon carofuUy concealed , were uddonly brought to view. The very ight of them increased the terror of the ictims , and their supplications for mercy were almost unearthly. 'Say our prayers , " said ono of the igilantcs , as in company with two of his Dim-ados ho 'approached the trembling ttddigan. "Snaro mp , spare mo ! God save mol" oiled Cuddigan , falling on his knees. "Did you spare little Mary Matthews ? " jilted ono of the vigilantes. "I'm innocent. Save mo. Don't hang o , " wailed the miserable man. "Mako your peace with God. Your mo has come. " hat was the only answer the vigilantes undo , and poor Cuddigan began praying , t was a short shrift these relentless avcn- ; ors gave him. The rope was made fast round his nock , and with the air echoing , nd re-echoing with the cries of the vie- 1m , they hangodhim from the ridge polo f Undo Tommy's cabin. Ho struggled iolcntly. His , \wful contortions were iddon by the darkness , and though had boo nbroid daylight the vigilante * would iot have boon ullbctod by his sufferings. lilt 1OI ! > V hWUNO FllOM THE I.IMI1 01' A TUEK. They were then busy placing the noose round the neck of Mrs. Cuddigan. Vords cannot describe the scone. Imag- no a woman in the hands of a mob of non who are actuated only by a desire to , vcngo the wrongs of a little child whom hey honestly believed had mot its death her hands. They know no morcy. 'ity was not in them. Her face was hastly in the breaking light of the morn , nd under the yellow glare of the Ian- orn's flame she begged , she prayed , she revelled at their foot and seemed to have oat all reason. Fear possessed her soul the uttermost , but her awful agony .id not affect her executioners , 'hoy ' stand by unmoved , those who were , ot engaged in preparing the rope turn- ig their hpad.s from her white face and ild despair. The noose is now around or nock. She is to weak to walk. They arrv her to a tall tree which looms up omberly against the heavens. It takes ut a moment for strong hands to adjust : io rope , and then the body of the poor oman swings convulsively in the air. 'heir ' work done , the vigilantes disap- oared. No ono know who organized or id the dreadful band of avengers , nor ho compoaod it. AKKOI.L IN THE HANDS OK MASKED MEN. But to Carroll. When Cuddigan and is wife were led off toward Uncle 'ommy's ' cabin Carroll was taken down ovonth avenue to Second street , and at point ppposito the Pacific house was ilacod in a buggy and driven off by Masked men. It is impossible to learn vhother or not ho mot a fate similar to hat of liis sister and her husband. If ilomoncy has been shown him , it is bo- lauso there is some doubt as to the part 10 played in the murder of little Mary "lathows. It is claimed by him and his 'riends that ho was absent at the time , nd had been for some days previous to .hogirl'sdeath. From the manner in which , ho vigilantes took Carroll off in a dif- oront direction from that in which Cud digan and his wife were taken , it is be lieved by some that they had prepared o horrible punishment for him. It will not bo long before the truth is known. The town and surrounding country is in ferment of excitement. OAUUOLL'H TATE. Carroll , the brother of the hanged wo man , and who was accused of being a party to the murder , was taken in a bug gy by two men vrho belonged to the vigilantes lantos and driven several miles out from Ourav. They then stopped , and were soon joined by several more masked men. Preparations were made to hang Carroll . Ho bogged piteously and explained to the men that ho was not with the taadigans on the night of the murder , and therefore ho conic iot bo guilty of the murder. He said ho could only bo held as an acccs sory to the crime , but he did that simply to protect his sister from her crime. Ho asked who of the men present wouldn't do all in his power to save a sister ) The rope was thrown over the limb of a tree and Carroll was drawn up. Before life was extinct ho was lot down again. A consultation was then hold , and then the mon decided that Carroll did not deserve servo to bo hanged. They would give him time to leave the country , trill the understanding that should ho eve return ho would moot his fate at the end of a rope Young Carroll was only too thankful to accept the proffer. Ho started od alone on the train. The lynch or watched him until out of sight and then returned to town. It is hardly probabl ho will ever show up in those digging again. JL more orderly baud of vigilante never put a man to death. Their coo deliberation is shown in Carroll's case There was some doubt as to his guilt.nm the mob , after hanging the man am wife , took Carroll oil' to a more couven iout place , where they would go throug some sort of a trial , and thus dotormin liis guilt or innocence. THE MOB'S VICTIMS. The trustees of the cemetery hero to day refused to permit the bodies of Cud digan and wife to bo buried there Father Sorvtnt , of whoso church Cuddi gan and his wife were members , refuse < to ofllciato at the funeral. The remain were kept in a stable all day and wur visited by hundreds of people. The man and wife lay side by side , their feature terribly distorted , showing that they hac both died a horrible death from strangu lation. Ouddigan was over six foot high compactly built , had light hair , bin eyes and sandy beard. His countenance nance was not frank and open , but thor was nothing repulsive about it. Mrs Ouddigan waa almost as largo as her hus band. She had thick , sensual lips , n brazen look and a sharp tongue , bii would have boon called beautiful by ac mirors of Amazonian beauty. She wai about 38 years of ago , her husband 4 years old. The two brothers of Oudd gan rofusodjto receive the bodies , and at a last resort Coroner Hazzard teethe the remains of Ouddigan an wife this evening to their lat ranch , south of the city , and there gav them a decent burial. Cuddigan hat Boveral hundred dollars on his porso when lynched , and this was used in giv ing them burial. The rancho baa bee akon in charge by the sheriff , who will oil nil available property and put the nonoy in trust for the infant child of /uddigan and wife , who was loft homo- ess by the lynchora. The child has boon akon in charge by the Authorities. nhcro is no clue to the identity of any f the lynchors. 1'llES.S COMMENTS. ) onvcr Trlbuno. The facts in the Ouray lynching are iniplo enough. There was a pretty little irl who had a vagabond for a father , and vho was pub in a convent school to bo > rought up. Two people n man and a woman took the poor helpless waif from ho school under a promise to take care ) f it , and tortured it to death by the most appalling cruelty. In duo course of time the murderers were arrested and lodged in jail. In duo course of time , had there boon no lynch- ng , they would have boon tried and irobably escaped with a light sentence. \ccording to Colorado precedent , neither f them would have boon hung certain- y not the woman , The Ouray people lad before them the prospect of a , long- hy and costly trial , which would hardly result in the punishment deserved , and hey prevented the expense and disposed if the case in their own effective way. The objection to the lynching of the woman is purely sentimental. A woman 30 dead to all the feelings of her sex as o torture a poor , little , unfriended child nto otomity was worse than the man. Something of softness might _ have boon xpoctcd from her. In serving her as icr accomplice was served the Ouray neb displayed a strict sense of justice. 5oth the murderers deserved the death hey met.
