REGULATORS HANG INNOCENT. GUILTY TO STOP BANDITRY
"Honest Man's League' Formed Soon After Civil War Struck Terror to Greene County's Lawless Soldiers
DY L M. MASWELL
OM of the outbreaks of lawlessness in the history of Greene county took place coons after the Civil war The Omari were full of former sol- diers of both armies. It is safe to may that's0 percent of these men re- turned ; to their homes, and took thetr places, only .too glad to be re- Lessed from military service, but the remaining one peroant had lived too Long the life of soldier, free to take whatever suited them, without pay- ing for it.' The result Was that in many parts of the Ozarks, and es- pecially in Greene county, there exist- ed a regular system for thieving, rob- bery and : sometimes murder.
I remember one old ditizen telling me that in the first year after the doms of the war: " man dares not Leswe so much as his plow in the field at night," or he would not find it there in the morning." The officers of the law were faithful, but the rasoale sesmed to stand together, and any number of witnesses were al- ways were on hand to furnish alibis. and the thieves went free.
.
| MINISTER HEADS VIGILANTES
Then the decent element did just What men of Anglo-Saxon blood bave ofer done, when they found that the law could pot protect them, they or- ganimed; made their own laws and enforced those lays with the pitiless band of home-made justice. The Leader was a Presbyterian minister. named Brown, the pastor of the church at Cave Spring, some 15 miles northwest of Springfield, in Cams township. The first victim was one of the last men who would have been suspected of being guilty of any evil Bok. He was Captain Green Phillips, Who Lived near Care Spring.
He had been a gallant Union sol- dier and had fought bravely at the
829
battle of Springfield. But one morn- ing While he was feeding his stock, some men rode up and without a word shot him dead.
Opinions were sharply divided us to whether Phillips was in any way Connected with the thieves, but cool after-thought long ago decided that fearful mistake had been made; that probably some personal enemy had med the new organisation to Wreak revenge he was too cowardly to take htmmit.
But the "Honest Man's League." Pt; msowally 'caller The Begu- atora," rode on working new victims. Hear Walnut Grove they captured John Rush and Charles Gorsuch; gato them a short trial; found them guilty K theft. and hung them to a tree on the road between Walnut Grove aod Springfield. The Regulators did not always czecute their prisoners, but in many cases aided the sheriff. and turned their captives over to him. But When the men were in jail, some of them were balled out, and others cosped with light sentences, the fol- lowing notice was posted all over Greene county, and published in every paper in the region:
"Headquarters Regulators, Walnut Prove, June 16th, 1866.
"To the Oftismos of Southwest Mis- woord: Wo, the Regulators, organized to sudet in the enforcement of the girdi law, and to put down an ex- wastre thiering organization knowå «ist in our midst, having suo- Ceeded in arresting and committing bo jant . number of persons charged with grand larceny, robbing and gen- aral lawlessness, whom we believe to .be bed men; and finding that some At them bare bean bailed out, thereby attending to them an opportunity & again putting into execution their Gtabollos! purposes of robbing, plun- dering and murdering their neighbors. therefore we hereby give notice that all persons balling such parties out of Jan, will be regarded as in sympathy. if not in full cooperation, with such. and will be strictly held responsible for the conduct and personaly ap- pearanos in court for trial, of all per- come thus balled out of jail.
(&goed) EMPHATICALLY THE REG- ULATORS."
NAME STRIKES TERROR
After that it became a difficult matter for any men in jail to get ball. Then the Regulatora showed their strength and their determina- tion by marching onto the public square in Springfield, 280 strong. borseback. They circled and formed in a hollow square and were addressed by Parson . Brown, Colonel Jamer Baker, and others. In approval of their
work, and also by some brave men. who spoke vehemently against them Chief of these last was Colonel John 8. Phelps, who had led many of them in battle. But even their old com- mander could not swerve them from their purpose, for when the meeting on the Square broke up. the 280 horsemen rode grimly away to the southeast, through Ozark and ou! onto the road from that place to Forsythe. A few miles out they cap- tured a Greene county man by the Dame of James Edwards, for whom they had made this long ride. They gave him a short trial. condemned him to death, and atrung him up to an oak tree at the roadside. It was told me. years afterwards, that grim old Parson Brown first led in prayer for the poor wretch, and then superintended hanging him.
That execution ended such activi- tles by the Regulators, and they soon disbanded. for thair work was done.
Crowder-Rhodes Rites Are Announced

"Card to Metzger Crosses Atlantic In Graf Zeppelin
A delicately drawn and attractively engraved blue stamp brought a card in the first alrmoll from Europe to America and delivered it to fferman Metzger, R. F. D. 5, Springfield. The | card crossed the Atlantic in the Graf ! Leppelin.
The card was from hle nicce In Offerburg, Germany, and gave a Wlew from an airplane of her home city. The stamp, which cost 50 cents in our money, has on it the picture of Zeppelin floating above the world
Mr. Metzger will answer the card on the return of the Graf Zeppelin. He was disappointed yesterday when he learned there la no epecial etamp yet made by the United States for this mail, but he will buy ordinary stamps to the amount of 50 cents.
"It won't be long though until we will have such atamps," said Mr. Metzger. "and the United States has puch wonderful artists and engravers I know we will have just as attrac- tive. a design as the one sant out from Germany."
Mr. Metzger formerly' lived in Bwitzerland, not far from the city from which his niece sent the card. Her message was written in German and indicated the enthusiasm with which the people of Germany are looking upon the linking of the countries of the world by air.
The translation of the message was: "With the first airmull from the old to the new world I am sending you and Aunt Josy my sincere greet- Inga. May this postcard (a bird's eye view of Offenburg from a Zeppelin) reach you in good health, the same as It has left us. Surely you will look with admiration on the achieve- ment of this magnificent airship which brings you greetings from your bome. With sincere love, 1 remain your niece, LEONA."
