Sabo Stewart
Sabo Stewart was held in the Rosebud jail in Rosebud, Texas, in May 1897, when a mob of about 100 masked men came for the prisoners there. Jail guards refused the mob's demand for the men, and officers then tried to move them out of town. The mob overtook the officers, took Sabo Stewart and two other men, and hanged them from a small tree a few miles east of town. The sheriff said nothing had yet been learned about who made up the mob, and an inquest was opened.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. A mob of about 100 masked men took Sabo Stewart from officers at the Rosebud jail and hanged him from a small tree east of town, after guards refused the mob's demand for the prisoners.
Reported by: the sheriff; the newspaper's account of the mob attack (reporters).
