LYNCH LAW
Put into Practice Near the Kansas
Line.

WALLACE, KAN, April 18-A home
steader named Baker, of Bent county,
Colorado, living near Burlington, was
lynched last evening by an angry mob al
Cheyenne Wells.
The details, as near as they can be
gathered at this distance, are as follows:
Two land seekers, T. B. Mcconnell and
John @. Morrison, from the Burlington
and Missouri railroad in Nebraska, were
driving across the country to Cheyenne
Wells, in company with the stage driver.
In doing SO they drove across some
breaking belonging to a homesteader,
and not retracing as ordered, they were
fred upon with a shotgun, and the two
land seekers, sitting in the rear seat, were
mortally wounded.
One has since died, and the other is ex-
pected to die at any moment.
The murderer was arrested and taken
to Burlington.
Threats of lynching being freely in
dulged in, the prisoner was taken to
Cheyenne Wells with the intention of
taking him to Denver for safe keeping;
but the mob took advantage, and hung
him to the coal chute. It appears that
his wife handed him the gun with which
to do the shooting.
She is under arrest as an accessory, and
threats have been made of lynching her
also,

might be called a not very appreciative
organ. It paints in red, as it we're, the
glowing need of herd law in Wallace
county. 1t goes on then to say that the
commissioners up there have adopred a
herd law, but that, as the county is not
organized, the people have no confidence
in the arrangement.

The city council had special meet
ing Thursday evening to consider the
question of planting trees in the city
cemetery. After some discussion, the
matter was referred to the Committee on
Public improvements, the committee be-
ing clothed with discretionary power as
to what shall be done. The ground is
said not to be in the proper condition for
being planted to trees this spring; so,
that while preparations may be made in
the meantime, it is not likely that any
trees will be planted there before next
spring.
