Here is an account of sad end of a justice
of the peace in Colorado: Antonilo has been
infested for several months with a gang of rob-
bers who have stopped and robbed all strangers
coming into town. The gang has tonight
been broken up by the hanging of the princi-
pal, Geo. c. O'Conner, who in his capacity OF
Justice of the peace shielded them and had
citizens arrested and fined without the least
provocation. This evening the feeling reached
its limit when O'Connor rode through the towr
on horseback with Winchester rifle and two
revolvers, threatening everybody. A vigilance
committee caught him in his saloon, and hung
him in an old slaughter house.
