DENVER, Col, August 17.-On the
10th of August L. E. Watkins, a promi-
nent cattle raiser near Canon City, Col,
was lynched by lot of cowboys. Wat
kns had fenced in large tract of land
which prevented the cowboys from
roaming at will over the territory, a pre-
rogatiye which they claim They first
trumped up an accusation against him
that he had stolen cattle belonging to
various parties, and upon this charge
he was arrested. After he had given
bond and was released a party of
mem. P. Mullock, Edison Mullock,
George Cross, William J. Wilcher, and
l.. Sampar-were accused of stealing
cattle from Watkins ranch, and they
were also arrested. When Watkins went
to Canon City to stand his trial on the
10th, he was taken from the sheriff by
the cowboys, shot to death, and after
wards hanged from bridge. Yester-
day the trial of the Mullocks and others
took place at Salina, when a band of
cowboys, numbering twenty-five, armed
with Winchester rifles and pistols visited
the town and for time took possession
of it. Their purpose was to
compel decision of the court in their
favor or release the prisoners. The citi-
zens organized, armed themselves, and
went to the aid of the sheriff, and sue
ceeded in preventing terrible riot. The
trial then proceeded with good order,
and the prisoners were removed for trial
to Buena Vista ct the first term. The
governor was visited to-day by delega-
tion of Fremont County citizens. and at
their solicitation offered a reward of
$500 for the capture of each and every
one aiding or abettipg in the lynching
of Watkins.

Guarding q Tender Heart.

lFrom the New York World
''Isn't it pretty?" said little old man
as he wheeled baby carriage to the
place where a reporter of the World
was sitting in the park yesterday.
SIT must be pretty" said the report
er, looking into the carriage and seeing
tiny creature, snugly nesting in
downy nest, with its face covered by
delicate lace veil
The little old man was delighted, his
little old chin went twit
and he chirped like bird.
"They keep it's face covered" he
said, with sigh, "since the little white
hearse drove away from the house the
other day. But p
The little old man stopped and looked
all around with his little twinkling
eyes.
"I viii show its face to you, sir, it's
so very, very pretty"
And the little old mans chin again
went twit-a-twit-a-twee
"They will be angry" he continued,
"but I'm so proud Of its pretty face that
I must STOW 1t.
Suddenly the little old man took the
lace that covered the baby's face III his
trembling fingers, and the rerortef pre-
pared to burst into EXPLANATIONS of de-
light, even II the face should prove to
be the bomeliest face in the world.
Mustn't" little child said, coming
from behind the bushes and seizing the
coat-tails of the little man. ''Danpa
mustn't"
"The flies will annoy Rose" gen.
tie girl of II said, joining the little
group and carefully replacing the lace.
Close observation showed tear
trembling in The girls eye as the little
old man wheeled away tie carriage, with
the little child dancing by his side.
"Oh, it's such deceptionr' she ex-
claimed burying her face IN her hand.
"Baby Rose died last week." she con-
tinued, ''and We are afraid to tell grand
pa, as MS mind is weak and she was his
idol, so We put doll in the carriage,
closely veiled, so he cannot see its face,
and let him wheel it around. But it's
so deceptive.
Just then the little old man paused,
left the little child with the carriage,
and came back to where the girl was
seated.
He put his face close to her and whis-
pered
"What was it," be asked, "that
they carried away in the little white
hearse9"
The poor girl turned away her face.
"Fiowers,'' she said, ''only flowers,
grandpa"

US and run our own bullets in those
days. Well, when We weren't IN action
we used to melt the lead and eat it for
ice cream. Talk about it being warm

WATKINS, n. Y, August 15.-Tn the
first trial heat of the professional boat
race, Wallace Ross, Plaisted, Griffin,
Lee and Courtney started at 10:46 A. NJ
in the order named. Ross took the
water first and got fine lead; Plaisted
second, Lee third, Courtney fourth.
Griffin fifth. Courtney drew up to third
very easily and in fine style and
with sturdy stroke was soon contesting
for second position in the mile and a
half straight-away heat; but Lee steered
toward the outside and almost across
Courtney's course, SO that at the half
mile they had almost locked oars.
Courtney had virtually ceased to
exert himself. They rowed along
side thus for nearly a mile
before Lee would take his own course.
At one time it appeared as if Lee would
get the lead. Ross won IN 10: AZ, by
half a length, Lee second, Courtney
third The latter was at least q length
in the rear of Ross. The crowd howled
in disappointment as it was evident
that this would shut Courtney
out of the second trial heat and
so out of any contest with
Harlan. It would have looked like
clear put-up job if Courtney hadn't
claimed second place on account OF
Lees approximate foul. It is not de-
cided yet by the referee and judges
whether to allow the foul, so far as
learned, but they probably will, as in
terest in the regatta will cease if they

LAWRENCE, Kas., August 16.-Eyer
since the hanging cf Ike King, George
Roberts, and Pete Vinegar. the three
colored murderers of David Bausmap,
by mob on the Kansas River bridge, a
bitter feeling has existed among the col
ored population here. Indignation meet
ings have at various times been held and
many threats made, the imprisonment
of negro being sufficient TO call
out an indignation meeting Many
nights of late they haze patroiled
the streets in large gangs, with threats
and oaths, the police being utterly un-
able to control them. This state OF ex-
citement was caused by the arrest OF
Frank Strobe for attempting to outrage
an 11-year-old girl The report got out
that gang of masked men were going
to take Strobe from the jail and hang
him. Large posses of armed colored
men surround the Jail every evening.
There is no doubt that if an at
tempt is made to take Strobe from
the jail there will be war OF
races. The whites are beginning to
think that the negroes have said enough
and the papers are agitating the matter.
The Western Recorder, the organ OF the
colored people of the state, IN
recent issue contained leading article
on the condition of affairs here, IN
which, while advising moderation and
submission to the laws, it says that II
Strobe is taken from the jail by mob
and lynched it will be the sig
nal for a rising among the ne
groes and terrible scenes of riot and
bloodshed viii be the result. The ar
ticle has created an immense excitement
among the white citizens, and should
the negroes make a move desperate
war will be waged upon them, and they
will be utterly annihilated. The Rev.
Pinkney, pastor of the colored Congre-
gational Church and one of their leading
politicians, says fully nine -tenths of the
colored men have purchased guns and
are auxiously awaiting the outbreak.
