John D. Buggies
John D. Buggies was one of two brothers held in the Redding jail in California, according to the Washburn Leader. The paper reported that about forty masked men came to the jail around 2:30 a.m. on July 25, 1892, took him out and hanged him. The men woke the jailer and forced him to go to the sheriff's office and show where the jail keys were kept, while the sheriff and deputy were asleep at home. A Lamar Register item published the same week gave the date as July 24 and named John Buggies as one of two men taken from a jail and lynched.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob of about forty masked men took John D. Buggies from the Redding jail at about 2:30 a.m. and hanged him, after forcing the jailer to reveal where the keys were kept.
