Name not reported
The son of Ralph Hills is named in an early account as one of three men reportedly lynched near Bush Creek, Nebraska, around July 1, 1894. A special dispatch from Atkinson, Nebraska, printed by the Omaha Bee, says settlers took the men from officers and hanged them, along with Ralph Hills and another man. The account is secondhand, and no name is given for the son beyond his relation to his father. Because the report is an early secondhand account, the details of how the men were held and taken are not confirmed by other sources.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched. An Omaha Bee dispatch from Atkinson, Neb. reports that settlers took the men from officers and hanged them.
Reported by: Omaha Bee special dispatch from Atkinson, Neb. (reporters).
