HIS CONFESSION.
me iouowirg confession was
made by the doomed man ezpressly
for the HtitALU and is the ouly one
m ide. It was tianslated by Judge
S. K. Warfield fir the Herald:
Phcenix, Novkmbbk, 25, 1880.
Gextlemen The charge against
me of having violated the human
law. My statement in regard to the
affair 16 as follows: I was cutting
wood at a wood camp for the Gillett
mining company - when two men
came to my camp. At time I was
absent cording up wood at the mill,
when my employer arrived from
my camp ami told me that two men
were at my camp. When I learned
this I went to the camp with my
friend to set. if I could recognize
them and vben I got to the camp
I did not cognize either of them,
but my p-iner knew one of them
and they -remained in camp about as
near as I can remember for about
three hojrs. At the same time they
told my partner that this night they
wanted to go and rob the Prescott
stage and, when they said that, my
partner rebuke! them for it. After
that those men remained for an hour
and a half longer. My partner had
to go to Gillett to buy provisions,
that he bad forgotten to buy. On
that acr-ount I was left alone with
the twei men and when they saw that
I was tlone in the camp they pro.
po e-l that I go with them and
rob the stage. I replied to them that
there -as no need of my doing so,
and hen they asked me what I
woubS rfo, if would go or not, but if
I refilled to go they would compel
me to o so and at the game time oi e
of them came up on one side and the
other on; the olbei side and then one
of thein drew a revolver and the
other a; bayonet and wanted to kill
me. I waa afraid they would do so
and went w;ln them to rob the stage.
But I had n-, arms bu: a small knife
and that I din not even wish to use

Although, as above stated, this is
lie first legal hangicg in this county.
the citizens haTc si various time
taken the law into their own hands.
The first iufctance is, we believe, the
hanging of a Mexiena for the theft
iif a cow. in 1873. The animal be-
whose farm adiomea tne town on
he east. One Riornlng, missing the
uuiinal, search was commenced and
the tracks easily followed by a crowd
who had been infoimed of the theft,
to a butcher sh.vp in Phoenix, when
evidenc es thst the animal had been
slaushlered were there found. The
butcher disclosed the name of the
person of whom be mace his pur
chase, who was quickly tracked down
by the crowd and taken to the west
side of Moniuao s corral anl was
drawn up to the beam, over the gate.
This beam is still standing. A guard
remained until life was extinct and
then returned to the butcher shop
and siiTgested that he pay the right
ful owner for the cow. This he re-
fushd to do, and the now infuriated
crowd surrounded him and com
menced shoving him in the direction
of the hanging Mexican, it being
frequently suggested to him that the
proper thing to do was to pay for
that cow. Continuing to refuse he
was continually nearing thcgsllows,
being in the midst of a mad crowd
and shoved with them, althcugh no
hands were placed on him. At last
coming to the conclusion, when
within sight of the hanging thief,
tint he wouid share the same fate,
he offered to make any payment de
sired, and was then released. A few
minules more df lay would have been
detrimental to his health. The peo
ple only rescrted to this mode of
righting their wrongs after a long
time of suffering.
During that season horse and cat
tle stealing continued very lrcquent,
tue valley being infested with a
number of hard characters, and
scarcely a week passed but news
was received of a fresh cr:me.
Growing bold with their success they
carried on their operations with a
high hand ; still more quick and de
cisive action on the part of tha citi
zens was needed, and a company of
ItlXUTK MEIT
Under the direciion of an
executive committee of eight was
formed. The 'ynching of their
Mexican brother in crime was not
sufficient. Fifteen miles below Phoe
nix, where the Gila and Salt rivers
join, had at this date been long used
as a rendesvous, and news one day
was received that nine ot the worst
characters were in camp at that
point. A party was formed, went there
and in due course of time returned.
but made no report. It is known
however that the men in that camp
were never heard of afterwards.
What ever became of them the rcadt-r
is left to guess. Sufficient to say
that the valley was thoroughly rid of
them.
Atala'er d;ty two men, tough
characters, who were camped on the
river about four miles from town
suddenly disappeared. It was pre
sumed at the time that they had gone
to join the nine above spoken of.
Quiet wos then restored and the
valley was peaceful for a period of
two year3. New Years Eve lSTo a
baM was being held in the old stage
building, but now occupied by th?

He was captured at a point where

nut around his nock and he was led
down Center street to Adams Btreet, j
thence out that street to ijid east siae
of town. What was then done floes
not appear a matter of record, but
his body was found next morning
hanging to the limb of a cottenwood
tree The result of his shot was not
known at the time be was hung, but
it was thought to be more disastrous
than it turned out to be. It w-as not
the man's.fault that he did not kill
several persons. He richly deserved
his punishment.
THE SEXTrLTKCHISC
In this town was on August 22, 1879,
when two men named Keller and
McCloskey were hung to the colten
wood trees on the plaza, at about 10
o'clock in the forenoon. Tuesday
evening, August 19, Luke M on ill an
was foully murdered while on hi
way home, and within f-ight of his
home and fami!y. He lived a few
miles soutb-west of town and about
a ;sct on the evening above men
tioned, while quietly driving along
the road, was shot in the back by
some one hidden in the brushes that
line the road. He fell out of the
wagon oa being shot and his team
went home empty, which caused im
mediate search and the wounded
man was found where he fell. lie
was taken to his house and passed
away at 10 o'clock that evening, re
maining un conscieui to the last.
The officers soon tracked down aud
conclusively proved that a man
named John Heller, living on an ad
joining farm, had committed the
deed. The particulars were all pub
lished in the Herald at the time.

our readers. Keller was lodged in

bloody work once started, there
would be no telling where it would
end. The following account is re-
copied from the Phcenix Heuald
of August 2a, 1S79:
Early yesterday morning, quietly
but determinedly, a law and order
committee was organized, aud at 10
o'clock proceeded to the jail and de
manded the keys of the cells contain-
; the murd rers Keller and Mc-
Closky. These were surrendered at
the point of the pistol. Quietly, and
without excitement, the two men
were brought out and told their time
had come. Hopes were tied around
their necks and they were led forth
through the main street to the plaza
n i tl:ere hanged to limbs of cotton
wood trees. Keller made no further
confessions than simply statiug that
the killing of Monihon resulted from
an old grudge that had existed be
teew Ihem. McClosky's only excuse
for his cold blooded assault on LeB.ir
was that he was drunk when lie com
mitted the deed. Persons who wit
nessed the hanging, and who had
been spectators at similar occurrences
state thill they never witnessed a
lynchin? conducted in so quiet and
orderly a manner. After the execu

made a speech to those who bad as

haraciers to leave town cr it might

course. The particulars of to-day's
business are in full at the beginning

"You will hardly be able to do
ihat," replied the broker, as be look
ed un the quotations. "I hey are
quoted at nine cents on the dollar.1
"Dear lands, butis that possible!''
grasped the holder. '"As I said be

There are not many persons who
appreciate the extent of our orange
trade, or who realize what an enor
mous anurcc of revenue the culture
of this delicious fruit may be made
On the 30th of this month there were
shipped from here on the Chicago.
St. Louis and Ncvr Orleans tailroad,
eleven cur-loads of oranges, destined
the Denver, St. Louis, Cincinnati.
Chicago and EvansTille. There were
in this shipment 1320 barrels, and
averaging the barrel at 300, we have
a total of 390,000 oranges sent in one
day by one railway to supply the in
crcasia-r demand in the West for
Louisiana's juicy and luscious fruit,
which is fr superior to th? oranges
ot Cuba, and ven the much vaunted
fruit of Florida.
Between the 1st of October and the
2Cth there were shipped by the same
road to the Western cities 21,000
barrels, an aggregate of 6,300.000
oranges. The demand f-.r this health
ful and universally favorite fruit
ic such that it can never be fully sup.
plied, so that there is every induce
ment for our people to go largely
into orange culture, which, when
pursued v.'ith iatelligncnce, will
yield a much larger return for the
capital invested than cither cotton
cr sugar.
The orange crop cf Florida will
soon assume enormous proportions.
Owing to judicious advertising, it
became the fashion for northern pen-
pie to go t Florida for their health,
and they seeing what a mine of
wealth was in tha culture of oranges
in that State, invested largely in
groves, which arc n:w rapidly, bear
ing and from which are supplied
almost exclusively the cities of the
North and East. The State is be-
comiug a ast orange grove ana mil
lions of dollars of Northern capila!
are invested there in orange farms.
The Louisiana orange,' as we have
said, is finer than either the Florida
or Cuban marge, aud our dilute is
peculiarly favorable to the growih of
the trees, hence we should either our
selves increase our production ol the
fruit or else invite Western or
Northern capital here to plant new
groves and make Louisiana what she
should be the riv;d of F'orida. If
that Stale supplies the North and
East with oranges, Louisiana should
certainly be equal to supplying the
West and Northwest. New Or-
