Bodies of Barrett Scott Found After Lynching in Niobrara River
The body of Barrett Scott Holt county’s former treasurer was found in the Niobrara river near midnight. A rope around his neck indicated he was hanged by a mob including George Mullihan Moses Eliott Mort Koy and other Holt county citizens. Jewelry remained on the body and evidence suggested death occurred before immersion. The crime stems from Scott’s embezzlement of Holt county lands and bank wrecking allegations. Nearby towns report further violence as Osawatomie and Mopenny see post office robbery and ambush shootings.
