postofice by boring hole through the
outside door and then forcing the bolt,
after which they bored hole into the safe
so as to break the lock. They succeeded in
getting about $145 worth of postage
stamps, SIS worth of postage due stamps,
and from $95 to 800 in money. They
took lot of papers and checks, but drop
ped them in the lumber yard. The post
master, Mr.. j. Bailey, has not the slightest
clue to who the burglars can be.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 1.-THE 10th of
August L. E. Watkins, prominent cattle
raiser near Canon City, Col, was lynched
by lot of cowboys. Watkins had fenced
in large tract of land which prevented
the cowboys from roaming at will over the
territory, a prerogative which they claim.
They first trumped up an accusation
against him that he had stolen cattle be-
longing to various parties, and upon this
charge he was arrested.
After he had given bond and was releas-
ed party of men, J. R. Mullock, Edison
Mullock, Geo. Cross, William j. Wileher
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 afterwards
hanged from a bridge. Yesterday the
trial Of the Mullocks and others took
plaza at Saline, when a band of cow
boys, 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 citizens organized, armed
themselves, and went to the aid of the
sheriff and succeeded in preventing ter
rible riot. The trial then proceeded with
good order and the prisoners were removed
for trial in Buena Vista at the first term.
The governor was visited by delegation
of Fremont county citizens and at their
solicitation offered reward of $500 for
the capture of each and everyone aiding
and abetting in the lynching of Watkins.
