The leaders of the mob said there were several rustlers in Casper that they would hang up if they were obliged to capture the sheriff and party from Buffalo, but if sheriff and party were not on the train from Casper that the mob would go direct to Buffalo without interfering with anyone. Before the train the mob was on met the train from Casper the leaders of the mob reported that sheriff and party were not on the train from Casper. The train the mob was on arrived at the stockyards near Casper a short time before daylight and commenced to catch and saddle up their horses. By the time the part of the mob left the stockyards that had their horses in the last of the three cars the sun was about one-half or three-fourths of an hour high, and parties in Casper seemed to be watching the mob closely. Some of the mob said there were several rustlers in Casper from Johnson County that they ought to hang, but they did not want to make any disturbance until they got to Buffalo. They said if the mob caused a disturbance in Casper the sheriff in Buffalo would swear in 100 or 200 deputies and come to meet the mob in the Powder River country. The mob said the only way they could succeed was to come to Buffalo and kill off the sheriff and his deputies, so that the citizens would have no leader and no law in the country to protect them. The mob came about six or seven miles north of Casper and stopped for the wagons to come up in order to get breakfast. The mob stopped in camp until about 1 o’clock. About noon several of the mob went out and brought in a horseman. The mob said they intended to kill all rustlers that they would capture on the road. They held the horseman prisoner for about half an hour. He was unarmed and proved to be a man that was riding after sheep. The took him along prisoner for six or seven miles north of where they camped at noon and turned him loose, after making him promise to say nothing about seeing the mob in the country. The first night out from Casper, the night of the 6th of April, the mob camped about 20 miles north of Casper. On the morning of the 7th of April they were called together and told that hereafter Tom Smith and the rest of them would be in command of Frank Canton; for them to obey orders and ask no questions. About 10 o’clock on the morning of the 7th of April the mob stopped a young man from Buffalo by the name of Kingsbury. They said he was a sheepman’s son. He was allowed to go his way. About noon on the 7th of April they camped about 30 miles north of Casper and got dinner. From there they left the wagons and arrived at John Tisdale’s on the night of the 7th of April, about 8 o’clock in the evening; the weather was very stormy.
