NEWSPAPERS:

 

The Atchison Globe, Atchison Kansas

 

1885 Jan 13-The Atchison Globe, Atchison Kansas - 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.

 

1881 April 21 Tuesday, The Globe, Atchison 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

 

Miss Lucy Walton, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Matlack, for several months past,

made many friends by her genial and engaging manners, and her return will leave a gap in the

social circle of our city

NEWSPAPERS:

Arkansas City Republican, July 31, 1886.

Last night, says the Winfield Visitor, about ten o clock, as Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Matlack were

returning from a drive to the park, the horses made a quick shy, breaking the bridle, and

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

catching up his 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

in this city

THOMAS J. MATLOCK, farmer, Section 24, P. O. Burrton, owns 480 acres in this township, 100 in

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.

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 said William Griffith, on the 30th

day of  October, A. D. 1863, between the hours of 9 A. M. and 2 P. M., be hung by the neck

until he be dead."  The sentence was duly carried into effect, and, with almost poetic justice,

Mr. William Hairgrove, one of the survivors of the massacre, acting the part of executioner.

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.
