Telegram to Tlio UIK.: | It wns after2 o'clocki-hLs morning whun thu mob hung.Miellctibergcr reached tlio court house , andwithin half an hour after tlio murderer wasstrung up. Tlio mob had gathered duringtlio fore part of tlui night In Wyuka cometry ,about a !mlf a, milo southwest of the city , nnd-it was douo so quietly and secretly that veryftiw citizens know nnjlhlng about It andthose who did know > descrcetly remainedsilent. The vigilantes wuru fully SOU in num-ber

¬

, arn.ed to the teeth , and were perfectly, marching with military piecUsion-

to tin ; jail. Kvery face was securely masked.The first Indication of their presence te-

a snnll number of people who had caught onthat something was up was n cant; of abouttifty masked and armed men nulling intothe llehlcd hall of the court house. A gray-bearded guard who was stationed In the hallwas BO completely taken by surprise time tichad but time to glvo one wild cry of tenorwhen ho was caught and a guard placed overnlin. In an Instant the bull ropes ana tele-phone

¬

wires wcro cut. A large number ofthe mob stationed themselves at Intervalsaround the court house wall to keen out per-sons

¬

who might want to entertheard , while another partywas endeavoring to force an entrancethrough the heavy Iron door on the t-outh sideofthncnmt house , but which resisted alltheir elforls. The crated window of Shlllon-benter's

-call was next tried , but this , too ,

took too much work , wlimi some one, evi-dently

¬

the loader , gave the older to breakInto the sheriff's' ollloo , and cut throughthe floor. In n very short tlmo hole threeby six tcet was undo directly over thn cageIn the cell. A ladder was chopped throughand a number of men swarmed downIt , meeting no resistance. . nndwith heavy sledges In less thanten minutes the door of theeago was broken open nnd Len taken out.lie fotiglil desperately , ami It wns not untilthe rope was around his neck , which wasifjmcklv douo , that ho seemed to acknovvl-edun

-tfmt his Kamu was up. lln did not

spenk a word until ho was forced through thehole in tlio floor , u lien lie cried out , "Oh ,Clod Almighty I" Ho was pushed and drag-Red out through the hall and to the foot of atree not over twenty leet trom thn front doorof thn court house , when n man sprang upthe tree , rope In hand , nnd swung it over a-

limb. . Then there was a cryana a shout of "Pull himup. " Then there was another wait of a min-ute

¬

, the rope was adjusted around his neck ,and he was asked If hit had anything to sayor confess. Ho answered that hu was Inno-cent

¬ot the crime of which ho was chared

and convicted , and that his brother shouldbury him in the orchard of the old home-stead

¬

south of the city, until ho was provenInnocent , when they should bury him by theMdo of his father and like other people woreburled. At hrst ho bogged hard tor his life ,

but when ! io saw that his case was hopelessho became Tory nervy and never falteredonco. A strom; pull on thn rope nnd Shellen-berger died , with a cnrsu upon his lips , as husaid , "I'll haunt you s of b s If 1 can. "

The body was hauled up about eight fret ,when It was lowered and the rope fixedbetter around his neck nnd then was pulledup again and left hanging. Sholleubergerdid not struggle In the least. There was noincrement ot thn limbs and death seemed tohave come almost Instantly.

The couunnnd watt tiiven and the mobformed In line and In mllitarr order marchedout of the southwest gate of the court yarusinging a Herman song. During the wholeproceeding everything was ijulet , and theworK was neatly performed with such pre-cision

¬

as to indicate a thorough understand-ing

¬

and good leadership. Several of tliomob wern Identified. It was known to havebeen composed mostly of Germans , chlellvfrom tlio vicinity of Shelleubergor's formerhomo.

Deputy SlierllT Hubert , who was one of Ihoguards at the jail , had all the Ite-vs In tils pos-Hcssion , but was not asked tor thorn , themob evidently thinking their own way thebest , nnd tlio demitles hud the good sense '.rknow they could do nothing to resist such n-

crowd. .The body remained hanging until Go'clock

when Coroner tirauer cut It down and heldan ln ] ticst, Several witnesses wore examinetl and a vordlct returned In accordantwith the above facts.

Ibis afternoon tlio body was taken to tluold homestead and will be burled a-

ho desired. Not one word olsympathy or regret for the dead man wa ;

heard on thn streets this mprnlng. but every-one expressed themselves pleased with UK-night's work. There was to have been ar-ntlemnt made the night previous , but tinsheriff having gotten wind of the schemehad Ilia jail ton well guarded. When thliwas learned the mob changed their procrnmme , quietly dispersed , and surprised thiJail when they were not expected.

U was rumored on the streets to-night tnawarrants would be sworn cut for the arres-of n number of members of the mob , and inumber of Herman citizens expressed tlieldetermination to contribute to the dofenEe o-

anvono who might be arrested. A largnumber of viewed the body as It wahanging this morning. Among them wcrnoticed quite a number of women-

.airs.

There was another rumor that the flight Isapart of ono of State's Attorney Grinnell'sdeep laid schemes which have before thisrepeatedly confounded the boodlers , but inthis latter leport them Is not much cre-dence
