23 THE FiLiOUS ASHLAND RIOT. The Most Exciting Serrice the State Guard Has Done Iu Recent Years. Ino'denta Which Led Up To the Firing: Upon the People On the Ferry. Ia Granite State. With the Prisoners and Troops On Board, Par.

aed Br Excited Citizens. Tall Boster of Officer and Men Went On That Memorable -Expedition. I IE present encampment of tho SUte Guard at a m-moth Cave calla to mind the past record of tho militia. No one doubt that thoi encouragement the military spirit, as shown in tho militia, la a good thing for tho common "weal. The troops, amateurs though they bo tn a warlike sense, hare at time keen a great deal of hard service, and dona a great deal to enforce the law and protect life and property.

It is true, however, that when they have been called upon for active work, and If they have had to resort to the use of anus, a great deal of excitement has been caused, and usually much blame beaped upon the soldiers, whether they fleeerved it or not. A notable Instance of this sort occurred in this State in 1 882, when a body of militia, having in charge two men accused of an awful crime, for which they were subsequently executed, was compelled to fire on a mob for the purpose of protecting tlie prisoners, preserving the reputation of the people, and rebuking the lynching spirit. There are men in this city who hare a vivid recollection of tlie affair. It was, as stated, in 1882. A few months previous three men had committed a horrible crime at Ashland.

Ky. These men were George Ellis. William JCeal and Ellis Craft. According to Ellis' confection, several times made and retracted, the three had gone to a house where there were two young girls and a boy, the only occupants on that night, sleeping In the same room. They outraged tlie girl, killed tho boy with an ax, and concluded tletr fiendish work by mur-ficring the girl, pouring coal oil over tlie bodies and beds and Setting the house on fire.

Ihe crime was enough to rouse any community. There were many rough but good-Iiearted people employed in the mines ami furnaces aligut Ashland and Iron ton and other adjacent points In Ohio. Their indignation knew no bounds, and when the prisoners were taken to Catlettsburg for trial, it was found necessary to send a battalion of the State Guard with them. After one Of the number. Oeorgo Ellis, had been convicted, a mob gut hold of him.

took him to the scene of the crime, in tho ctlxe of Ashland, and hung him to a tree. It was affirmed that, just before bo was strung up, be was anked winch of his two statement, made in the Jail at Lexington, was true, the first or tlie second one. The first one detailed the crime, and named lis. Craft snd Neul as the perpetrators; the second retracted tlie statement. if tnaid: Jtoys, It know I've got to die; the first confession wa true." The others wore kept in jail at Lexington until October, when a strong detachment of State troops was ordered to take the prisoners to Ottlett-burg and guard them during the trial.

The feeling against them wm ss bitter a ever, and the people openly expre-ed their determination to hang both Neal and Craft as soon as they could be gotten at. Xenl did not seem capable of committing mi eh a monstrous crime, but Craft' reputation wm very bad. Public opinion was such that it Questionable whether a jury could C0I be found anywhere within that district who would have refused to iconvict them. Everybody knew it. Tlie violent threats of the people caused troops to be applied for snd sent.

There were more than two hundred men in the detachments. Including a company from this city, all under command of Maj. John 1L Allen, cf Lexington. The various eompanie were as follows: McCrcary Guards, of Frankfort; Capt. J.

anl went to- Frank fort, whre they reported to Adjutant Gen-al Nuclcols, and received orders to report to Maj. Allen st Lexington next morning, which was Ibno. Lexington and other troops were all gathered on one train, with Lexington in eliarge of the prisoners. On Monday sftrt-noon, about sundown, having run a gantlet of invective a6 the Ashland depot, five miles below, the troops dinem-larked at Catlettsburg and marched, to the Court-houw, where proper dispositions were made. There was much excitement, which increased hourly.

Next morning court was opened and the ease called. It had been arranged, It was alleged, for tlie father of one of the murdered girla to slip iu and shoot the prisoners, wtule frieuds held the guards, of whom there were eight In the room, but if so, the man weakened and the plan failed. A change of venue was applied for to Carter county, and grantd. The people of Catlettsburg, after a while, through tlie persuasion of prominent citizens, and in face of the eertainty of so-rjouu trouble if lynching waa attempted. Concluded to do no violence, but all sorts cf threat came from Ashland, ai.d among others was onn to the effect that 2,500 men, with artilWy, were waiting for the troops, should they go down by river, and a smashed train if by rfuL There were alarms during Tuesday nlgCu but all was rady and nothing was done.

The nub lyadem formed a plan of action at Ashland. whre a meeting wss hell, spd which unfolded Itself next day. Wednesday, shortly before noon, the sol. diets with tha prisoners, marched to tjio wharf, where tlie steamer GrnnltA Slato was expected by 12 o'clock. Hardly had the companies been aligned to position, before a train came up from Ashland five flat-ears and two eoaehrs-filled with men to the number of 'ihe companies had been admirably ported to get ahead a (he mob should fighting begin.

The mob' was fronted diteetlv by the McCrenry OuarcU, the Louisville and Battery A's gun. Lieut. Sohan, with half of the Louisville boys, had the poet of honor, acroea a vacant lot, only a street's width from the mob. with guns loaded and fingers on trijriier. The prisoners weve on the wharf boat, with a strong escort, besides tho KuekoU Guards.

Driven off at one point, they aUpped in at another. This state of things continued for a good hour and a half, and it was expected that firing would open at any moment.

As soon ns the men were aboard, a blank cartridge wis fired frm the gun down to river. nd the boit started. Tho mob climbed on its train, reinforced by many spectators, and started for Ashland. The troop weie so dixposed on the boat ss to face tlie Kentucky side, Ihe crew htd tit ken down the "bull-mils," for the purpose of coaling at Hanging Bock, but on Major Allen's attention being called to this, he had them put back. The Louisville and Maysville companies were on tlie lower deck, with the cannon.

As tne steamer eared Asltland, a large crvwd of women and cliildren were seen, on the bank near a mill, about half a mile above the town. Tlie river front was black with people but they wera all men and bey.

Major Allen saw it and ddled to him: "Don't do that!" but l.e did, and sent a ball through th pilot house, and immediately afterward a fringo of tiro ran around the guard of the ferry, followed by a rattlinr vo'ley Bullets nov thick and fast.

Ihe word went out all over tho country tha the miUtla had brutally butctiered men, women and children. They had deliberately, it wii said, fired on inoffeMlvo ptrtons on shoro. And so it went. One of tho of.icers on the lower deck, corroborated ty all the others, said if there was an innocent" person on that river bank nobody eould discover it.

Ihe myrtcry waa that no more were killed. Iho total, including the murderer, who were afteiward and tlie murdered children, btidcs those wounded who died artcrward, waa twenty-three, it is said. Men who were on tho lower deck say several fell overboard from tlie ferry who were not counted, and were supiioscJ to 1m men from Iroaton, unknown in Ai-hland.
