An Ex-Mayor Lynched—Horrible Scene* , at tlic Gallows—A Crowd of Men, Wo men and Children Waiting to Enjoy the Spectacle. [From the St. Joseph (Missouri) Herald.] Tlie man Dugan, who was for a short time' Mayor of Laramie City, and who was recent ly arrested on the charge of garroting a man f at Golden City, Colorado, was taken from! custody on Tuesday by a party of vigilants i and hung. The impression had got out that the jail < would be assailed sometime during the after-; noon, and he be taken therefrom and exe- 5 cuted, and in consequence of the rumor, • about 4 o'clock a crowd of men, women and children lined the sidewalk along both sides of Laramie street They held their positions: until nearly or quite dark, when thinking: that the expected exhibition had been indefi-; nitely postponed, they retired to their homes. They were mistaken in their surmises, as it. since appears. It became known in some way that Dugan would be removed from the Laramie street prison to the city jail on Front street some time during the evening, and the assemblage, as it appears, had concluded to. improve the occasion by-taking him from the officers aud executing him. About 6 o’clock he was taken in an express wagon for the purpose of the proposed transfer. Soon af ter the wagon turned into Front street it was surrounded by ninety or a hundred armed men, who demanded a halt and the surrender of their prisoner. The express wagon which had been taken possession of was brought to the front and placed directly uuder the limb of a tree. In a moment a rope was thrown over the limb, : and in another moment Dagan was standing, in the wagon immediately under the fatal noose. Some one told him if he had any remarks to make to make them, for his time among the living was short. He commenced by asking them to send for a Catholic priest “I killed a man in the mountains, but it was in self- defence. I did not kill the man in the Black Hills ; ’twas another fellow that did it” To the question about having assisted in gar roting Squire Brooks, he said ; “I didn’t do it I have never hurt anybody or stole any thing. I have been a bad man, but I am not guilty of anything deserving of hanging.” He frequently asked that a minister should be sent for. I did assist in robbing Squire Brooks, but I was nearly out of money, and had to do it or starve. I only had six or seven dollars, and could not get any any other way. I had to do it or die. I have been a very bad man, but have done nothing to be hanged for. Spare my life—any other punishment. Oh, my poor mother ; it will kill her ; don’t let it get to her ; send for a Catholic minister. His confession or remarks were constantly interrupted by his cries; in faet, in the trying moment, he was completely unmanned, cry ing and sobbing like a baby, and uttering prayers for mercy from Him whose laws he had frequently and * repeatedly outraged. After he had said all he had to say, the order was heard, “Drive on,” and the wagon moved from under, and the spirit of Sanford S. C. Dugan took its flight to the presence of Him who shall judge us. The fall, about eighteen inches, broke his neck. He was a man six feet two inches in height, and weighed two hundred and five pounds. After hanging until life was extinct, he was cut down mid his body given in charge of the coroner.— Dugan was a young man, hardly twenty-three years old, and a native of Fayette county, Pa., ‘ where his mother and friends now reside. The Purchase of Sam ana Bay and Penin sula.—News has arrived here that the famous Samana Ba3 T purchase has been completed. Under the Presidency of Cabral, Mr. Fred erick Seward was commissioned to offer $2,- 000,000 for it, which was refused. President Baez, however, when he came into power, evidently found himself hard pressed, and through his commissioner, Mr. Fabens, ap plied to the United States Government in hope of having the offer renewed. Certain New York capitalists entered into a prelim inary contract with Mr. Fabens for a perpet ual lease of the bay and peninsula, which contract has just been approved by the Do minican Government, and a large amount paid down by the New York parties. It is understood that the whole affair is moved from Washington, and that so soon as occu pation is given, the United States will pro ceed to establish a naval station there, leav ing St. Thomas to shake to pieces when it please*?.—Xeie York Herald. The Buffalo Commercial is informed that last Friday, near Syracuse, a man was kicked off a western bound train by a brakeman, and was instantly killed by a down express train. (Eommemal.
