VA.LDEZ, N<tv. 20. ? Five members
of the Lake creek hanging be' party
of which J. E. Kenney Is the victim,
arrived on the Portland from the
westward for the purpose of stamllug
trial on a charge of assault with in
tent. to kill. The men are also tie
fendiuits in a damage suit brought
by Kenney to recover $25,000. Those
to arrive are Frank Dunn, Frank
Churchill, Charles Harper, A. It.
Young and Sam Wagner.
The Lake creek hanging-bee, as
the case is known, took place 'Sep
tember 13, l!i07. Kenney had home
steaded some land, and the allega
tions are that the defendants named
In the foregoing, and three others,
Ed. Cone, D. McManus and T. D.
Elllxson. were desirous of running
Kenney out of the country. Accord
ingly, Cone declared that he had
been robbed of gold dust valued at
$2,300, and Kenney was accused of
tlio theft. Tlie defendants organized
themselves into a vigilance commit
tee and personally charged Kenney
with the crime.
Kenney made strenous denial of
any wrongful act, and after being
threatened, to no purpose, was placed
upon a box and a *ope was noosed
around his neck. This, too, had no
purpose, other than to emphasize
Kenney's denials, and some of the
party kicked the box from under the
trussed up man. It so happened
that the rope was new and it stretch
ed sufficiently to permit of Kenney's
toes touching the ground, thus pre
venting his neck being broken.
Kenney asserts that some of the
men were in favor of making a sec
ond attempt, nnd while be was slow
ly strangling to death the question
was debated, finally being decided In
Kenney's favor, and he was cut
down. Kenney made his way to civ
ilization, made his complaints and
the arrest of the five now In Valdez
followed. The others have never
been arrested. Cone Is said to be in
the Kuskokwim country, and Mc
Manus and Ellixson are believed to
be in back of Cook Inlet.
