The Lindell is one of the leading hotels of Lincoln at the present time. The site of the Lindell has been a hotel location for about forty-eight years. In 1869
327
LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY
J. N. Townley opened a boarding house there, which was managed by John Douglas for a short time. The property passed through various hands and finally was bought by Doctor Hoover in 1885, who removed the old frame to one side and erected a brick structure the next year, two years later enlarging it again. The Lindell Hotel at present enjoys the distinction of being the political headquarters for Lancaster County and most of the state. It bears the same reputation in this respect as did the old Capitol Hotel in its palmy days.
FLOOD OF AUGUST, 1889
On Monday, August 12, 1889, and a part of the following night an extremely heavy rain fell in Lincoln and nearby territory. The water began to gather in the vicinity of the basin on Monday and rose rapidly all the night. Before Tues- day morning all of the lowland was practically covered, land where hundreds of families lived in their cottages. In many of the homes water was three feet deep. Many of the people were marooned in their houses, not being able to find the way along the submerged streets and paths to high ground. On Tuesday morn- ing rescuers were at work and the unfortunate people transported to high ground. For the most part the people were poor and the question of food, clothing and shelter for them was a perplexing one. During the day Mayor Graham and other city officials threw open the Park School House to the refugees. By evening of the 13th the water had reached the highest point and then began to recede, requiring most of the week, however, to regain its normal height. Fortunately, the weather was pleasant during this time and it was comparatively easy for the people to renovate their homes and dig them from the mire and refuse caused by the flood waters. No lives were lost, but quite an amount of property ruined. The railroads also suffered from the deluge, both the Union Pacific and Burling- ton requiring several days to get their trains running. The water did not quite cover the crown of the pavement at Seventh and N streets, but the paving blocks were displaced and had to be repaired. In point of property destroyed this flood was the worst Lincoln ever experienced, but there have been several times when the water was higher. One flood was in 1868, one in 1869, 1874, 1887, 1892, 1902 and 1906. The water of 1902 from Salt Creek reached the highest point of its history.

LANCASTER COUNTY'S ONLY LYNCHING
The only lynching which ever occurred in Lancaster County was on August 23, 1884, at about 4 o'clock P. M. The victim of the mob was Luciano Padillo, a Mexican, formerly employed at Mrs. Southwick's boarding house in Lincoln on the site of the present Globe Laundry building. The crime for which he was hanged was the assault upon little Anna Grange, a fourteen year old girl, living in the vicinity of Burks Station, Highland Precinct, Lancaster County.
On the afternoon of August 16, 1884, Padillo walked through the country and met young Anna Grange who was in quest of plums in the nearby wood. The Mexican accompanied the young girl and later committed the crime for which he paid the greatest penalty just a week later. A few days afterward he was arrested at Beatrice, Nebraska, and brought to Lincoln and lodged in the jail, until he could be brought to trial. On Saturday, August 23d, Sheriff Melick received word that the young girl was dying and that it would be advisable to bring the culprit to the Grange home in order that he might be identified-the . Mexican in the meantime having stoutly denied his guilt. Shortly after noon, Sheriff Melick boarded the train with his prisoner, accompanied by Chief of Police Beach, Judge Parker and Professor Bluehdorn, intending to proceed directly to the girl's house and return upon the east bound train at 3:30 P. M. After traveling a few miles by rail someone suggested that it would be safer to leave the train and resume the journey in another manner. This suggestion, apparently a good one, was acted upon and the party left the train at Denton, with the exception of Judge Parker, who went on to Burk's. Melick, Bluehdorn, Beach and the prisoner procured a buggy and a team at the farm of Maxey Cobb and started to the Grange home. Again, after traveling a short distance, they decided that the buggy was too conspicuous. The horses were unhitched, Melick mounted one and placed the prisoner on the other, and the two continued upon their way, leaving Bluehdorn and Beach at the point where they had abandoned the carriage. Melick and Padillo had not gone far when they met two men, mounted, who inquired where the prisoner was, and turned their horses to accompany the former. In the meantime Judge Parker had reached the Grange home and, not having seen any suspicious persons in the vicinity, dispatched a messenger back along the road to meet Melick and his party and to inform them that the coast was clear. . When they had about reached the Grange home four men rode up, on horseback, and demanded the prisoner, remarking that their pur- pose was to hang him. After parleying for a short time all of the men started back to the point were Beach and Bluehdorn were waiting, all the time under guard of the "mysterious horsemen" who were bent upon having revenge upon the Mexican. Upon the way Sheriff Melick noted men in numbers in several
329
LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY
directions, evidently watching them, and awaiting the word to seize the prisoner. In a last effort to save his man he whipped up his horse, also the Mexican's mount, and there ensued a chase of several miles. The horses upon which Melick and his prisoner rode were common farm nags and were not sufficiently strong to withstand many miles of the grueling pace. By the time they had reached the place where Beach and his companion were waiting they were ex- hausted and the pursuers caught up. Three of the horsemen remained with the party and the fourth rode to the top of a hill and gave a signal, whereupon fifty or sixty horsemen appeared upon the scene from every direction. Again Sheriff Melick tried to plead with the men, but they were obstinate and demanded the person of the prisoner. Realizing that his efforts were futile Melick released the handcuffs from the prisoner's wrists in order that he might have a last chance for his life, which was a mighty slim one.
Suddenly five men jumped upon Sheriff Melick and downed him, a like num- ber having taken care of Beach. The Mexican was taken into custody and all started for the Grange home, leaving the sheriff and his friends without horses. Melick luckily discovered a pony, upon which he mounted, and rode fast enough to reach the girl's home before the lynchers came. Padillo was brought before Anna Grange and after several dubious answers she positively identified him as the assailant by a scar upon his left arm. This established his guilt in the minds of all present. The lynchers immediately placed the condemned one in a lumber wagon and started for the timber.
They traveled to the identical spot where just a week before the Mexican had committed his dastardly crime, placed a rope around the limb of a tree upon the edge of the creek bank, and pushed the Mexican over the edge of the slope. Here, upon the limb of the same tree under which he had assaulted Anna Grange, Luciano Padillo expired in the hangman's noose. The scene of the hanging was on what was known as Cheese Creek, in Highland Precinct, sixteen miles south- west of Lincoln, and one mile from the B. & M. Railroad.
Padillo's body was cut down the next day and brought to Lincoln, to Mr. James Heaton's undertaking parlors. It is related that the Mexican, despite the enormity of his crime and his degeneracy of character, went to his death and expiated his deed without flinching. He was gritty to the end. Efforts were made to discover his relatives, but were not successful, and his body was turned over to a medical college. The young girl, Anna Grange, was not expected to live, owing to knife wounds upon her body, but after several days of doubt she survived.
CRIMINAL CASES
Lincoln and Lancaster County have been remarkably frec from brutal mur- ders or complicated crimes, and resultant criminal trials, but there have been a few cases of this type which have attracted a great amount of attention. Perhaps the most notable of the murder cases in the county was known as the Sheedy case.
Sheedy, the victim, was murdered, or struck upon the head, from the result of which blow he later died, in January, 1891. The case had many ramifications
330
LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY
and complications, most of them not of the character to be written into the story. Mary Sheedy, the wife, and a negro, Monday McFarland, were the suspected ones and were indicted and brought to trial. The negro was thought to have struck the blow and the wife to have been the one who hired him to do it. Other people were implicated, but not in such a way to stand trial. The case was begun in the courts on May 12, 1891, and on May 29th the jury brought in the verdict of "not guilty." It is presumed that the defendants were guilty, but sufficient proof could not be found. This was the last of this case.
Perhaps the next important case which ever occurred in Lancaster County was that known as the State of Nebraska vs. Quin Bohanan, the latter charged with murder in the first degree. On March 3, 1882, the defendant was arraigned and pleaded not guilty, and on June 5th the trial was begun. On the 9th the jury brought in a verdict of "guilty" of murder in the second degree. Bohanan was sentenced to life imprisonment. Bohanan was kept in confinement, pending an appeal. On January 4, 1884, a mandate came from the Supreme Court reversing the lower court and remanding cause for new trial. A change of venue was secured and the case taken to Otoe County, at Nebraska City. Here the defend- ant was again found guilty, this time of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced to be hanged. Quite an interesting technicality of law was brought up, owing to the fact that the lawyers for Bohanan claimed that another court could not sentence a man for a higher degree of murder when he had previously been sentenced to a lower degree. The higher courts finally decided that the second trial, in this and every other case, was independent of the first and that when the new trial was begun the verdict of the first jury was entirely set aside and void. This ruling is now a statute of Nebraska law.
Another celebrated case was the Montgomery-Irvine trial. Irvine was a real estate man and Charles E. Montgomery was the president of the German National Bank of Lincoln. Irvine believed Montgomery to be in league with his wife and followed him to several places in the country to convince himself of the fact. Finally he appeared in Lincoln and shot Montgomery, while the latter was seated at a dining table in the Lincoln Hotel. On October 13, 1892, the case was brought into court and continued until the 24th, when the jury decided that Irvine was not guilty of the crime as charged. This ended the case.
THE OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION
On April 23, 1889, a meeting was held at the council chamber at the corner of Tenth and Q streets, at which the Old Settlers' Association was organized. Mr. A. J. Sawyer was chairman of the meeting and J. P. Hebard, secretary. A committee, composed of N. S. Harwood, M. Tower, A. J. Sawyer, A. W. Field, Levi Snell and S. C. Elliott, were appointed to draft a constitution for the association. The members of the association planned and held a big celebration at Cushman Park on June 19, 1889.
The formation of this association is chiefly interesting because of the per- sonnel of the membership. A list of the early members will be found to contain nearly all of the settlers who came to this county and began the development of

this territory. Following is a list of the settlers who reported, their native state or country, and the year of coming to this county :
