A Noung Gtrl Outraged and Murdered
South OgsiIver City-Lynching
TellSed OF.

Word comes from Silver City that on
Saturday morning, Lulu Werrey, the A.
year-old daughter of William Werney, a
rancher living about 25 miles south of
there, left home for the purpose of look
ing for horse She did not return in
the evening and searching party was
Immediately organized. On Sunday
afternoon, the body was found in a gully
about two miles from her home. She had
been outraged, then choked to death.
Ambrosio Garcia, a Mexican employed
as sheep herder, disappeared the same
day as the girl and that night came to
Silver City and told some friends that he
had committed the crime, but this was
not reported to the officers until after he
made his escape. Several posses are now
after him and if captured, he may be
lynched. 1t has been ascertained the
girl went to the place where he was herd
ing sheep and his guilt is conclusive.
The scene where the body was found
gave evidences of desperate struggle
by the girl in the effort to save her honor
and her life.
