Italian Murderer Hanged
by a Mob.
HAD NO FEAR OF BULLETS.
The Enraged Crowd, Though Fired
On by the Guards, Carried
Out Their Purpose.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

DENVER, July 26.-Last night B. c.
Lightfoot. an old Grand Army man, was
brutally murdered by Dan Arata, an
Italian salOon-keeper of unsavory fame.
The murderer was placed in the county
Jail and the matter has been discussed all
day by the townspeople. Many threats of
lynching were made. but not much attef-
tion was paid to them, as it was thought
that the time for the frontier mode Of
justice had passed.
This evening, however, there was large
mass-meeting of unemployed men at II
and Market Streets where speeches were
made on the present financial depression
and kindred topics. When the speakers
were through their talk a gray-whi skered
veteran wearing the Grand Army uniform
mounted the stand and shouted:
"Follow mev'
he crowd understood him and 5000
people took up the march after h i'm to the
county jail On the way they were Joined
by many hundred, and when the Jail was
reached the crowd numbered fully 10000
The jail is new and massive one, and
it was thought that it could be entered by
the crowd. Beams and every other avail
able form Of battering implement, how
ever, were brought iuto play. and in short
time the outside door on the north side
was battered in.
At this point Captain Crews, the jailer,
and the guards, assisted by some of the
city police. turned heavy stream of
water upon the crowd. 1t had no effect
on their ardor. By this time the crowd in
the street around the Jail had swelled to
10000 at least.
The people in the jail turned off the
lights. leaving the entrance in darkness.
The crowd quickly tore the headlights
from some CABLE cars and brought them to
the scene.
When the door leading to the Jail Office
fell in the guards inside began to fire. The
enraged mob did not hesitate, although
two of their number received painful
wounds.
The guard was quickly oveIpowered,
and as the jaier would not give any infor-
nation the crowd started to search for
Arata's cell. When it was reached it was
quickly broken into. One of the mob
with knife ripped the murderer's abdo-
men.
Others interfered and he was dragged out
to the street, pulled up to the limb of n
treee and his body riddled with bullets.
Finally the rope broke and the bleeding
body fell into the gutter with splash.
Some of the crowd yelled to burn it. but
finally number of men seized the ropo
and dragged the corpse by the neck
through the mud into the heart of the bus-
ness portion of the city.
At Seventeenth and Curtis streets the
body was again strung up to telegraph
pole, and it was quarter of an hour be-
fore the police took it down and placed it
in the. Morgue. The crowds then dis
persed. A number of Jail officials were
badly hurt by missiles thrown by the mob

been declared Dictator by the Leon revo-
lutionists while General Zavala was acting
President, having been elected after Ma
