- List of Kansas Legislature
House- T. J. Matlock - District 88 - Burrica
1888 July 14 - The Atchison Globe, Atchison Kansas- Cooper and Jackson's Circus
was just
ready for a performance when the storm hit. The tent came down with a
crash and Mrs.
Medlock, a countrywoman, was so badly injured by the center pole her
life is despaired of.
1888 Aug 24 - Atchison Daily Globe A painter's skid used for high work fell
yesterday from
the NE corner of the Newcomb building at 8:00
in the morning. Mat Matlock was on the skid
but he caught a rope and escaped injury as the
skid fell 70'. Johnny McNamara was not so
lucky. He fell to the ground and broke both
legs and his collarbone. They were in the employ
of J. W. McSirley.

Kansas
With the increase of religious sects of the
frenzied sort, an increase of evangelists may
be expected. A new religion has just been promulgated in
Texas, Rev. Robert Mattlock being
the promulgator. One of the Articles of Faith
of this religion is the shedding of blood to
appease an offended God. So zealous was Rev. Mattlock
in the cause that he killed a man
named Miller and went on a missionary tour
shouting and praising to God on the Highest.
"But mark the results!" A mob of Philistines
gave chase and lynched him. This should not
discourage the church. It should immediately canonize the Rev. Mattlock
and press on with
renewed vigor. All new religions are persecuted and Rev. Mattlock's
followers cannot hope
to be exempt from the general rule. Methodism
would never have been what it is today if John
Wesley had simply been quietly ignored by the Church of England. "God works in mysterious ways
his wonders to perform." Rev. Mattlock's
little congregation should keep a still upper lip and
trust in Providence

ARKANSAS CITY TRAVELER Aug 31 1881
Mr. S. Matlack
returned from New York on Saturday last, having, during his absence, made one
of the largest
purchases of dry goods and groceries ever brought to the city. The following
speaks so truthfully
of this gentleman's stock and business enterprise, that we could say
nothing more to the
point, so simply reproduce the words of one of our exchanges.
"Mr. S. Matlack, of
Arkansas City, Kansas, is receiving an immense stock of dry goods and
groceries, which he
recently purchased in New York. Mr. Matlack has a large and complete
stock of general
merchandise, and if bed rock prices, square dealing, and courteous
treatment will win
the Territory trade, he is bound to have it. He has a large and very
complete line of
hats and caps and boots and shoes, especially adapted to the wants of
the people in the
Territory. He has also the largest stock of clothing in the city,
which he will sell
during the fall and winter regardless of cost.
"Mr. Matlack asks
the cattle men and others to call and examine his immense stock, assuring
them that he will
show them goods of such quality and offer them at such prices that they
will be benefited by
trading with him. He gives special attention to the Territory trade,
and orders by mail
will be promptly filled, and at lowest prices."
ARKANSAS CITY
TRAVELER Sept 7 1881

returning from a

started to run. They ran as far as the Santa Fe depot, when Mr. Matlack,

wife, attempted to jump from the buggy, catching his feet in the wheel,
and throwing them
both violently to the ground, injuring Mrs. Matlack quite seriously, and
bruising Mr.
Matlack badly about the head and shoulders. Mr. and Mrs. Matlack are well known

cultivation, with small orchard, five
acres in cultivated timber, 160 acres fenced with barbed
wire; dwelling 14 x 24, L 14 x 20, barn
17 x 38, with stock yards and sheds, and windmill pumps
and large stock scales. He also owns 160
acres in Sedgwick County, with 100 acres in cultivation
and dwelling 12 x 24. He makes a
specialty of raising corn, cattle and hogs, and has at present
118 head of graded and domestic
cattle and thirty hogs. Was born in Iowa in February, 1846, and
made it his home until he enlisted in
1862 in Company E, Nineteenth Regiment Iowa Volunteer
Infantry, and was with his command in
Missouri for one year, then at the siege of Vicksburg and
at Fordouch Bayou and at the
battle of Prairie Grove. Was severely wounded by a gunshot through
the leg and captured and kept
a prisoner for ten months at Shreveport, La., and Fort Tyler and
Marshal, Texas, where he was
exchanged July 22, 1864, and returned to his command at New Orleans,
La., and participated
in the final engagements of the war at Goodes' Landing, siege of Spanish
Fort and surrender of
Mobile and saw the last gun of the rebellion fired by the confederacy and
was mustered out July
10, 1865, and got his final discharge at Davenport, Iowa, July 25. After
the war he returned to
Iowa and came from there to Kansas in March, 1871,and homesteaded his
present place March 13. Was
married March 26, 1868, to Miss Mary J. Thompson, a native of Iowa.
They have four children -- Lena, Nellie, George
M, and Alice M. Mr. Matlock has always taken an
active part in
politics and educational matters and anything that tended to the welfare of his
locality and
has been a member of the School Board since the organization of the District and
taught school
for six consecutive winters and served as Township Trustee for three terms. When
the question of
voting bonds for another railroad was raised in the county in 1881, he took an
active part against
it, believing it was not to the interests of the farmers to have a heavy
bonded debt hanging over the
county, thereby creating a feeling in some localities which has
been against him politically. He
thinks this locality as good a country as can be found for
combining farming with stock raising and has
been very successful in his business.

LINN
COUNTY
CHARLES MATLOCK
William G. Cutler's History of the State of
Kansas LINN COUNTY, Part 3
The Marais des Cygnes Massacre. - This massacre
occurred on the 19th of May, 1858. It was
one of the most deliberate, inexcusable and
atrocious massacres recorded in the annals of
history. While the people of Linn County were
quietly planting corn and unsuspicious of
danger, a band of thirty Missourians, under
command of Capt. Charles A. Hamilton, about 8
o'clock in the morning, one mile below Choteau
Trading Post, captured Patrick Ross, who
was going from the Post to his farm near by.
Upon arriving at the Post with their prisoner,
Capt. Hamilton's party arrested John F.
Campbell, a store keeper there, and two or three
others, who were
released. Elder B. L. Reed was captured one-half mile north of the Post,
while standing
in the road talking about taking the school. At the same time and place,
William A.
Stilwell, who was on his way from Mound City to Kansas City in his wagon, was
taken. Upon his driving up, Hamilton asked him if he knew Montgomery, to which Mr. Stilwell
replied that
he had seen him, but was not acquainted with him. Hamilton then commanded, "Get
out and
march in here." Stilwell got out of his wagon and took his position with the other
prisoners, leaving his team standing in the road. Some other persons were then taken and
released. This occurred near Mr. Nichol's house,
which was searched for arms and for Mr.
Nichol himself, but he was absent. Mr. Stilwell
was searched for money and arms, and the
following letter found upon his person, which was read aloud: "Messrs. Chick & Co., Kansas
City, Mo.
have sent you $200 to pay freight on goods. Please deliver to Mr. Stilwell what he
can
bring and I will send you the balance soon. J. W. GARRETT" Three or four of Hamilton's
men were
next sent to bring in Asa Hairgrove, and another party was sent after Austin and
Amos
Hall, the main body marching on toward Hairgrove's house, about two miles from the
Post.
There Amos Hall, who was nearly blind, and Mr. Hairgrove were brought in, the latter
from his
corn field. At the same time, William Colpetzer was captured. They then went in a
north-
western direction and brought in M. Robinson and Asa
Snyder, who had a short time previously
arrived from Illinois. Capt. Hamilton with
seven men then started out to arrest Capt. Eli
Snyder, the blacksmith, and bring him in, the
main body proceeding on about one-half mile to
the top of a high mound (Priestly Mound), from
which elevated position the whole country for
miles around could be overlooked. The latter party watched with considerable interest the
attempt
to arrest Capt. Snyder, which, on account of his courage and quickness in
handling
his musket, resulted in failure, and in some of Capt. Hamilton's men being severely wounded.
Returning to the main body, Hamilton ordered a forward march, and the prisoners were led
down
to a canyon gulch by a by-path between rocks, single file, when the commands were given,
" Halt," "Front face, "Close
up," to the prisoners; and his own men were formed in line in
front of them on a shelf or rock about as wide as a good wagon road and somewhat
higher than
the prisoners' heads. Deliberately the orders were given by Capt. Hamilton, "Make ready,"
"Take aim," but
before the order "Fire" could be uttered, one of the worst of the border
ruffians, Brockett by name, turned his
horse away, whereupon Hamilton said to him, "Brockett,
G---d d---n you, why don't you wheel into line?" Brockett said, "I'll be d---d if I'll
have
anything to do with such a G---d d---d piece of
business as this. If it was in a fight I'd
fire." At this, Hamilton took out his revolver and fired at the prisoners, giving the order
to his men to fire
at the same time. Alvin Hamilton's gun, which
was aimed at L. B. Reed,
missed fire the first time; Reed, not being hit, turned partly round to see
his companions
fall, and, Hamilton's gun being immediately re-cocked and fired, received the
ball on one
of his ribs and fell. Thus all these innocent, brave men were brought down. On their part,
there was no flinching nor
begging for quarter. Mr. Hairgrove, just before the order to
fire was
given, said: "Gentlemen, if you are going to shoot us, take good aim." After waiting
a few minutes,
Hamilton gave the order to his men to go down and see who were dead, and to
shoot those who were not. Two of the ruffians
went down among the fallen and fired three shots
at different ones who gave signs of
life. Amos Hall was shot through the mouth. One said "Old
Reed ain't dead yet," and a shot was fired, when the remark was repeated, "Old Reed ain't
dead."
" Which is him?" was asked. "Why, there the old
devil is, looking at you." But Pat Ross got the
balls and he was killed. Another ruffian said, "See
that man humped up, he ain't dead." The man
"humped up" was Austin Hall, and his body was perfectly
rigid. One of those who were finishing
the butchery, kicked Mr. Hall, rolled him over, and remarked, "He's
as dead as the Devil," and
so let him alone. Mr. Hall was the only one not hit. One of the ruffians said, "There's a man
that's got $200," meaning Stilwell; but they did not fine the $200. It had been hid
in the
wagon by Mr. Stilwell at the time of his capture. Another said, "There's a
fellow that's got
a good watch," meaning J. F. Campbell. The watch was
taken. Hamilton and his men then rode away
in squads,
six or seven at first, then twelve, and soon after the balance, leaving their victims
all for dead.
The result of the shooting was that five were killed, five wounded and one unharmed.
The killed were, John F. Campbell, William Colpetzer, Patrick Ross, William Stilwell and M.
Robinson; the wounded, Amos Hall, William Hairgrove,
Asa Hairgrove, B. L Reed and Asa Snyder.
The body of William
Stilwell was taken to Mound City for burial; those of the others were all
buried in one grave, some distance south of the
scene of the massacre. The wounded all recovered.
It has been a query why any of those captured were released, and why Brockett
at the moment of
command to fire, refused to do so. From the best information obtainable it is believed that some
were released on account of their youth, others
because they were believed to be Pro-slavery,
and still others because they gave the Masonic sign of distress, which all good Masons must
recognize. It is also believed that Brockett refused to fire upon recognition
of the same sign
made by Mr. Stilwell, who was a Mason. Capt. Hamilton had prepared a list of from
sixty to
seventy Free-State men whom he had proscribed, and this massacre was the first of a
contemplated
series of massacres which was to be continued until the whole list had been slain. Happily it
chanced to be the last as well as the first. Montgomery was advised of the general plan, and
had been furnished with a list of the proscribed men. He determined to kill Hamilton at the
first opportunity. To this end, about
the first of May he approached Hamilton's house, a log
one, with a party of men for the purpose of capturing him; but finding he could effect nothing
in the way of an attack with rifles alone, he sent a squad of men to
bring the howitzer. But
before its arrival a body of United States troops, on their way to Leavenworth, were
called to
Hamilton's relief, and Montgomery was obliged to disperse his men. Montgomery then went to the
Sheriff of Linn County, acquainted him with Hamilton's designs, showed him the list of the
proscribed
Free-State men, and received assurances from that official that the men so proscribed
should be protected
from all harm. The descent when made was made unexpectedly. Montgomery was
away in Johnson County. He
returned in the evening of the day of the massacre. The next evening
a force of about two hundred
citizens, under Sheriff McDaniel, Col. R. B. Mitchell and
Montgomery, approached West Point, Mo., to
which place it was believed the murderers had
retired. Before entering the town a consultation was
held, at which, against the remonstrance
of Montgomery, it was decided to send forward a deputation and ask the leading citizens to come
out to a conference. While this deputation was delayed, men were
seen to leave the town from the
opposite side, Montgomery and his men gave chase, captured one prisoner,
against whom nothing
could be proved, and so released him. The citizens when they finally came out to
the conference,
deplored the massacre, denied all knowledge of the whereabouts of the murderers and refused
to
aid in their apprehension. The citizens retired discomfited, and separated into two divisions
to watch for
the re-approach of Hamilton in case he should further pursue his murderous
designs
against the Free-State men of the Territory. They remained on duty
until superseded by Capt.
Weaver in command of a body of regular militia.
This body of troops so vigilantly guarded the
border all summer that Capt. Hamilton never
again made his appearance.
During the summer one of the murderers, Charles
Matlock, was arrested, but while at Paris
awaiting his trial, escaped
from the guard and was never re-captured. Another of Hamilton's
men, William Griffith, was arrested in Platte County, Mo., in 1863, and taken to Mound City,
Linn County, Kan.,for trial on an indictment
against Charles A. Hamilton et al. for murder in
the first degree. Griffith plead "not guilty,"
and set up as defense the "Amnesty act,"
approved February 11, 1859, alleging that the
murder grew out of "political differences of
opinion." The jury, "good and lawful men," not
satisfied with the plea as a defense, brought
in the following
verdict: "We, the jury, do find the defendant, William Griffith, guilty." A
motion for a new trial was overruled, as was also a motion for arrest of
judgment, and the
Judge, Solon O. Thacher ,pronounced the sentence that the

Wrapped in Flames.
Victim of Gasoline Explosion Vainly Sought Aid. From Thursday's Daily.
With her clothing wrapped in flames, which were scorching her face and
burning her hair,
Mrs. Ralph Matlock, the young wife of a Valley
township farmer, residing southeast of
Hutchinson, staggered to the telephone and summoned
aid. She called her father-in-law,
Chas. Matlock, who lives about ten rods away. He
answered the telephone and although he
could not make out all the suffering women said, he
caught these words:
"Come for God's sake. Fire. Am burning. Help."
The central operator at Burrton also heard the appeal for help and sounded
the alarm.
Mr. Matlock, Sr. who had recognized his daughter-in-law's voice, hurried to
her home, expecting
to find the house in flames. Bursting in the door
he found the young wife, apparently dead,
lying on a couch, fearfully burned. This was about
noon yesterday. She lingered, unconscious
most of the time, until about five o'clock
yesterday afternoon when she died. She regained
consciousness long enough to explain how it
happened. She was ironing with a gasoline smoothing
iron, when the gasoline exploded and in an instant
her clothes were a mass of flames. She tried
to smother the flames with blankets but without
avail.
Fearful that the house would catch on fire and that the baby and two other
small children would also
perish, the mother, forgetting all about her own
danger, rushed to the telephone and sounded the alarm.
Help came in time to save the house and children,
but she was burned beyond hope of recovery.
Mrs. Matlock was 25 years of age and leaves three children, all small. Her
husband was at work in the
field at the time and she had no way of summoning
him. The family is one of the most highly respected
in Valley township and the whole neighborhood has
been thrown into mourning.
