ISldorn , Ja. , correspondence of th
Chicago Tribune : The events of the
last few years have brought Hardin
county , la. , into unenviable notoriety.
Thirty years ago there located in this
county a family named Rainsbargcr , and
live sons , William , Kinley , Nathan ,
Kmanuol ( Munch or Manse ) , and Frank ,
who wore destined to give this country
the prominence in history which the
James brothers gave to Clay county Mo.
There were also five daughters , Will-
Iain , the eldest son , was married when
lie came here , and has raised a family
of four boy.s wlio pride themselves on
their notoriety as Rainsbnrgers. Wall-
lam had served a term in the penitenti
ary in Missouri before ho came to this
county. They were all poor when they
came hero , and to replenish their lard
ers they made frequent levies upon
their neighbors' stock. Timber-steal
ing with them reached a high art ,
but in a new country nearly every one
bteals timber. The sons under such in
fluences , took as naturally to stealing as
a duck takes to water. The oldest giri
married Henry Johns , a man of energy ,
who was not averse to turning a penny
by questionable methods. So successful
was ho that at the time of his death in
1885,110 had amassed a fortune variously
estimated at from $100,000 to 8200,000.
The Rainsbargcr method of doing busi
ness frequently led to the arrest of some
member of the family , but they were al
ways able to establish an alibi. In Feb
ruary , 18i ( ( > , Fin Rainsbargor stabbed
and killed Charles Vailes , in a crowded
store at Steamboat Rock. This act
brought th'o family into general notor
iety for the llrst time. The defense was
managed BO cleverly that Fin only
served a two years' sentence for ono of
the most cowardly murders ever com
mitted in this country. When ho re
turned from the penitentiary ho gave
himself up to a lifo of crime with the
utmost abandon. His brothers , natur
ally moro industrious , and whoif left to
themselves were not bad citiy.ens , were
by degrees drawn into participating in
his crimes. The people , after several
ineffectual attempts to establish the
majesty of the law in dealing with these
criminals , gave it up in despair. The
torch of the incendiary or the maiming
of their stock soon convinced the mosl
courageous that it was dangerous busi
ness to cause the arrest of a Rains
bargor or to testify against them. Noi
until the murder of Knoch Johnson
November 18 , 1881 , which aroused the
people of this and adjoining counties
was tliero any concert of action ii
bringing them to justice.
The events which have followed the
attempts to make crime odious in this
county and the energy with which the
pang have defended themselves are fill
of thrilling interest and hair-breadth
escapes. Knoch Johnson was a clevoi
thief and counterfeiter. In 1882 John
son's daughter , Nettie , married Frank
Itainsbargor. In March , ISSJi , the
United States marshal swooped down
upon Golddeld , la. , and arrested John-
BOII and a man named Biggs for counter
feiting money. Biggs jumped from the
train and escaped. Johnson , aftei
lying in jail a year , was bailed out b\ (
I his son-in-law. Frank Hainsbargcr , am
i his brother Nate , who made
i
iis homo with Frank. John
son then came to live with
lis daughter. During the slimmer of
bSI the boys were hard up and struck
ipon a plim to nuiko a raise by beating
the lifo insurance companies. Johnson
ind his wife fell in with the plan , and
some $7,000 insurance was taken out for
the benefit of Mrs. Johnson , and a like
imount for the benefit of Frank Rains-
larger and his wife. Jack Reed , a
leader of the thieves and noted for his
hrcwdness and tact , was sent for to
lielp carry out the scheme. Jack
promptly informed the conspirators that
their scheme would not work ; that the
insurance companies were onto the
'still" racket , and that it was a stale
chestnut , What was to bo done ?
While Enoch Johnson and one Winans
were turning their attention towards
"shoving the queer , " ' Frank and Nate
consummated a plan to furnish Johnson
himself as a subject for the coroner.
The place selected for the terrible crime
was a ravine surrounded by brush and
timber and half a milo from any farm
house. The spot was one mile north of
Gifford , four miles south of Eldora , and
thirteen miles distant from Frank and
Nate Rainsbarger. On a dark , cloudy
night , the 18th of November , 18S4 , they
induced Johnson to go to the
place selected , ostensibly to steal
stock , while Nato and Frank
went to Clcs , three milosvo
north of the Rainsbarger place , and six
teen miles from the scene of the mur
der. It was -I o'clock in the afternoon
when they left home. They wore met
at Cloves by their nephews , Joseph and
George Rainsbarger. Going out of the
village a short distance , Frank and
Nato exchanged one of their team a
slow traveler for a fast roadster.
About 7 o'clock Frank and Nato went
south through Kldora , driving rapidly.
They met Johnson at the place ap
pointed , and were met by Fin Rains
bargor and ono or two other parties.
The Rainsburgors are all powerful men ,
and at least four of them Mad assembled
to murder a feeble old man. After
crushing Johnson's skull with heavy
knuckles they set him on his horse be
fore ho wits : yet dead , and carried him
out in the road 200 yards from the scene
of the murder. Making his foot fast in
the lines they allowed him to fall from
the horse , and dragged him some dis
tance. The buggy ho drove they left
on top of the hill liOO j-ards north of
where the body was left.
The next morning the dead body of
Kva Johnson was found on the roadwith
the lines looped around the leg and at
tached to a part of the harness. The
llesh of the left leg was congested under
neath the lines and there were a num
ber of scratches on the body and face.
Back of each car the skull was broken.
The horse was feeding near by. The
mark of the body being dragged was
also found. Ono wheel and one of the
fills of the buggy wore broken. The
spokes were broken at the hub and the
fill upward the outward as if it were
done by hand. The buggy was not
moved after the wheel was broken. The
boys reached home about 12 o'clock that
night , and the next morning Nettie dis
covered blood on Nate's overcoat , and
his bloody overalls were found by her
hid in the barn. Frank's mittens were
also bloody. When Johnson's body was
first found it was supposed the horse
had killed him , but the fact that his cup
had disappeared lead some to suspect
foul play. The next day after the
funeral blood was found in the ravine.
A coroner's jury was impaneled and
body taken up. The jury found that
"deceased came to his death by some
blunt instrument in the hands of per
sons to the jury unknown. " No evi
dence was found implicating the Rans-
bargers.
Six weeks after the murder Nettie
Ranisbarger pent word to the coroner
that she was afraid of her life and
wanted help to got away from home and
a guarantee of protection. The next
day she was brought to Kldorn and had
to bo guarded for nearly a year , so de
termined were the gang to kill her.
They oven hired a detective to spirit
her away. The 17th of January , 18S" ,
Frank and Nato Rainsbarger were ar
rested , charged with the murder , had a
preliminary examination and were held
without bail. The grand jury at the
May term found a bill against them.
Nato Rainsbargor was put on trial at
Marshalltown December 28 , 1SS" > . He
was defended by C. L. Albrook , ono of
the most brilliant young attorneys in
Central Iowa , assisted by Judge Weaver
and Hon. 1' . M. Sutto'n. Hon. ILL.
Huff assisted District Attorney Stevens
for the stale. The case lasted two
weeks , and over one hundred witnesses
were examined. The defense sought to
prove an alibi , and that the horse was
vicious and had killed Johnson by throw
ing him oil' and dragging him. The
only evidence tending to criminate the
accused , however , was that of Nettie
Rainsbarger , and could they have suc
ceeded in silencing her they would have
been at largo to-day. Nate was con
victed and sentenced to life imprison
ment in the penitentiory. As soon as
ho was convicted other witnesses were
ready to testify who had before been in
timidated , and when Frank's trial came
off last March at Marshalltown nis con
viction was easy. Ho was also sen
tenced to life imprisonment. Last
March the supreme court of _ Iowa
granted Nato Rainsbargcr anew trial on
a writ of error.
The conflicts between members of this
gang and the officers and witnesses
since the arrest of Nato and Frank
Rainsbargcr for the murder of Enoch
Johnson , would make a volume of thril
ling interest. On the -Uh of June , 1883 ,
Coroner Underwood and Dr. Ritcnour
who had made themselves obnoxious to
the gang by taking part in the prosecu
tions of Frank and Nate , were fired
upon in the Rainsbarger district. The
attack was made by four men with
handkerchiefs tied over the lower part
of their faces.
The doctor * escaped withouta scratch ,
although their clothes and buggy were
struck by several bullets. The next day
William' , Fin and Munch Rainsbarger
wore arrested on the charge of shooting
at the doctor. William gave bail and
was released , while the other two were
placed in jail at Eldora. That night
they were attacked in the jail , taken
away by a mob of 100 men. riddled with
bullets and their bodies left lying in the
street ,
THEIll TISli : HAD COME.
Instead of terrorising the remainder
of the gang this only made them more
desperate , and they vowed to be re
venged. Threatening letters wore sent
to witnesses and every effort made to
intimidate the people. Stock were ham
strung and killed , one family burned
out , and several persons shot at. Henry
Johns , the brother-in-law , was shot on
a dark night by one of the gang because
ho refused to ' 'shell out. ' ' When Nate's
case was sent buck for trial they deter
mined again to kill off a number of wit-
ne-ses. Writing threatening letters
and killing stock had lost their terrors ,
and they determined upon a bold and
daring scheme. A number of cut
throats were imported and were detailed
for a wholesale slaughter. Mrs. Johns ,
the wealthy widow , was to bo burned
out and made to believe it was the work
of the vigilants. It was then expected
that she would draw upon her fortune
for the purpose of revenge , and thus
supplied with funds , they would pay
their imported murderers. Letters pur
porting to come from the vigilants were
written and given to a trusted friend to
copy. Thesis letters never reached Mrs.
Johns , but fell into the hands of the
officers of the law. When the conspir
acy was discovered , members of the
gang began to suspect each other , and
it was not long before this murderous
brood were warring with themselves.
As a result , Jack Reed was convicted of
horse-stealing , and sent to the peniten
tiary for three years , and oilier mem
bers were indicted.
Recently William Scott , a forme
member of the gang , testified against
Joe Rainsbarger , the Jesse James of
Hardin county , a son of William. Joe
had been indicted for shooting at a
German. This so incensed the persoa-
ator of Jesse that he went gunning for
Scott. They met on a dark night , both
shot , and Scott drew first blood. Mon
day night , November 7 , John Hunger ,
William Scott , and Tom Hathaway
went to Steamboat Hock , and the two
first named made affidavit to the effect
that their lives had been threatened by
the Rninsbargcrs ; also to some facts
very damaging to the gang. Three of
the Itainsbargers were watching them.
When the boys went homo they took a
cut-off to avoid a heavy body of timber
on the road. When crossing the field
. " > 00 yards from the woods they heard
several signals given down the road
they were * expected to have taken.
Wh'cn they arrived at Scott's the three
separated , and Hunger started homo on
horseback. While crossing a bridge on
a lonely road , and nearly a milo from
his homo at Cloves , ho was run into
by a horseman going quite fast ,
and his horse shot. Four men then
came forward and tired six shots at him.
He fell from the bridge , shot through
the right leg. and several balls passed
through his clothes. IIo lay perfectly
still , however , and , after looking at
their victim and concluding ho was
dead , the red-handed fiends withdrew.
Bunjer crawled a quarter of a milo to
the nearest house , from which ho was
taken to his home. Three years ago
Joe Rainsbarger and a man named
Krull entered Bunier's house , knocked
the father downstairs , drew their revolvers
vers , and threatened to kill the family ,
and criminally assaulted ono of the
daughters. For this they were indicted ,
but the torch of the gang was applied to
the Bunjer home , some of their stock
killed , and their own lives threatened.
This had the desired.effect upon the
Bun jcrs , and Joe was acquitted. Since
then John Bunjer has been much in
the company of the gang and has
learned many things valuable to the
prosecution. In order to seal hislips they
planned to murder him , and supposed
they had done so. The attack and de
fense were so well planned , however ,
that it is doubtful if they will be con
victed , For several months William
Rainsbarger has been Keeping his son-
in-law at his house. When asked by
Jack Reed why he kept him when ho
had such a largo family of boys to help
him on the farm , his. reply was that
they had all been impeached , and he
wanted the son-in-law there because ho
had never been impeached , and could
not bo , as ho had lived in Nebraska.
The four Itainsbargers who took part in
the shooting , the mother of the mur
derers , the daughter and son-in-law and
two women belonging to the gang ,
whom they brought to their house the
Sunday before , may all bo relied upon
to sustain the alibi , and it will bo nine
witnesses against one.
It is such bloody work as this , through
a long series of years , that has led the
people in this 'community up to the
point of taking the law in their own
hands. The people of Hardin county
are as law-abiding as can be found any
where in the country , but they have al
ready suffered their rights to bo tram-
pled'upon too long.
Jack Reed is ono of the shrewdest and
most notorious crooks in Iowa. Ho was
the oldest son of Robert Reed , an early
settler in Dul'ago county , Illinois. Ho
was early educated in crime and took
naturally to stealing. Jack's first ar
rest was in Fayotto county , Iowa , when
ho was twenty-seven years of age. Ho
escaped by jumping from the second
story of the court house , in which ho
was confined. Ho was next heard of in
Dallas county , Iowa , where ho operated
from ISliS to 1S7I ! with the John Moraiam
gang. In 187. ! ho came to Hardin
county , made the acquaintance ) of the
Rainslmrgers. and has since been a fre
quent visitor here. Ho has been con
victed twice from this county and sen
tenced to the penitentiary. He was

TJinxT : : TKI.KOHAMS from Russia
show that the government of that coun
try is still pur.-uing the policy of arbi
trary and despotic repression which is
described by Mr. Kennan in a paper en
titled "The last appeal of the Russian
liberals , " in the November Century.
A number of young army and navy oiii-
cers in St. Petersburg have just been
sentenced to penal servitude in the Si
berian mines for merely setting forth in
the course of u debate the advantages
which another governmental system
would Imvo over the present ono.
There is said to bo much excitement
and indignation among the friends of
the young officers in military circles ,
and the circumstance furnishes another
illustration of the way in which the Rus
sian government , by punishing with ex
cessive severity natural and peaceful
discussion , excites and keeps aiivo the
revolutionary spirit. As the liberals of
Moscow say in the interesting appeal to
the esar , quoted in Mr. Kennan's ar
ticle , "tho principal reason Jor the mor
bid form which the contest with the
government has taken is the absence in
Rutsiaof any opportunity for the free de-
velopmedt of public opinion and the free
exercise of public activity. "
