Oklahoma, April 19.-Four prominent cattlemen were taken from the city Jail here to-day and lynched by a mob of one hundred citizens. The mob, it is said, was organized tu the Commercial Club rooms and marched to the Jail at 3 o'clock to day. Only one mun stood guard at the prison, and he was quickly over powered and the four prisoners seis ed, taken to a near-by barn and hung from the rafters. The bodies were cut down about 9 o'clock to-day. There wos little excitement during the lynching. Those lynched were: J. li. Miller, of Fort Worth, Texas; B. B. Burrell, vf Duncan, Okla.: Jesse West and Joe Allen, of Canadian, Texas. West and Allen were well-to-do Texans and large cattle owners. The men were held on a charge of com plicity In the murder of former Uni ted States Marshal A. A. Bobbitt, near Ada, last February. Bobbitt was shot from ambush on his way liome. An examining trial of the four prisoners was held last Thurs day, but no Indictments were re turned. Miller, one of the victims, leaves a widow in Fort Worth. He had kill ed six men in his time, and was a "chum" of the late Pat Garrett, the famous man-hunter, and was with Garrett when he was killed at Las Cruces. The mob was composed of many of thc prominent citizens of the city, and only a few wore masks. The au tborltles were powerless to prevent the lynching, as the early hour placed them nt a disadvantage. So intense was the feeling during the preliminary hearing of the men that Judge Brown prohibited the publication of evidence. Burrell was a nephew of Miller, and turned State's evidence against Miller and told of complete plans of West and Allen to murder Bobbitt, a long-time enemy of both. No arrests of the lynchers has been made. . Reports vary as to the number of men Miller had killed, estimates placing it anywhere from ten to thirty. Most of his victims were ei 1 ther cattle thieves or men whom he shot In self-defense. He w^s one of the last of the old-time Texas cattle "kings," among whom lt was a cus tom to use the six-shooter In defense of any of their rights. Burrell bad many relatives in Texas. He leaves a brother and mo ther at Weatherford, and another brother at Ballinger. He was a large cattle owner. Joe Allen and Jesse West, of Ca nadian, Texas, were wealthy, and owned large tracts of land and herds of cattle. There was an old feud existing between these men and for mer United States Marshal Bobbitt, and, years ngo, it is said, Bobbitt forced Allen and West to flee to Texas because of alleged highway robbery and cattle thefts.
