Heads split Open with An As-nIurdersr
canahl ana Lgnehed.

Caught and LynChed.
A horrible double murder was dis
covered At Friendship, fourteen miles
from Americas, Ca, ct o'clock last
Saturday morning. and was followed
several hours later by the lynching Of
the supposed murderer.
On a farm at Friendship lived Mrs.
Mary MoGarrah, about rs years old,
with her son by a former marriage,
James Boone. Both we're killed some
time during Friday night.
About half a mile from Mrs. MeGar-
rah's home lives another son, John
Boone. 10 was he who discovered the
murder. Mr.. Boone went over 10 his
mothers house Saturday morning, and
on entering was Mortified by the bloody
sight which met his gaze The heads
Of both had been cleft with an ak.
As soon as the alarm was given peo-
pie set out on a search for the muir
defer, and during the day a very re-
markable story came 10 light. Near the
McGarrah home lived Camp Hollis, a
negro who was one Of the first 10 Join
In the search.
In little while Hollis found in the
woods, bound to a tree, his own wife,
who declared that she had been the
victim Of a dastardly assault. She said
that a strange negro had come to her
house the night before while her hus-
band was away, had brandished pis-
tol and compelled her to go with him
into the woods, where he assaulted
her, and then tied her to a tree as she
was found.
The discovery OF the woman inoreas-
cd the zeal Of Hamp Hollis. Several
hours before some OF the searchers
had arrested Eugene Reese on suspi-
cion. Reese was carried into the
swamp and held under guard pending
a further investigation. Hamp Hollis
pretended to believe that there was no
doubt of the guilt Of Reese and wanted
to lynch him without further delay.
Meantime the searching party went
to the house of Hamp Hollis and there
found bloody axe and a suit Of clothes
belonging to Hollis and upon which
there were blood stains.
Confronted with this evidence oil
her husbands guilt, the wife confessed
that she and her husband had plotted
to murder old Mrs. MeGarrah and hei
son because they accused the negro
woman of having stolen some bacon
The crowd went to where Reese wai
being held in the swamp and arrived
just as Hollis was brandishing a re
volyer in Reese's face
Hollis was dumbfounded when tolt
of the finding of the axe and blood
stained clothes and the confession o
his wife. He, too, confessed and wa
hanged without further ceremony
Several hundred bullets were fred int
his body. Reese was released, bu
later was rearrested aud carried t,
Americas to await further investiga
ton. It is believed that number @
negroes were implicated in the plot.

Sne Is a summary Of some Of the re-
salts pointed out: The total length of

In an interview in Denver, Senator
Maxwell made a telling stroke on the
question of the proposed road over into
North park. Said he, "The talk about a
wagon road to be built across the state
alongside of one of the railroads is all
bosh. If wagon road is to be built 1t
ought to pass through Boulder county
| can mark out a route wbice will land
traveller in Steamboat Springs within
$50 miles of Denver. That's the proper
route. Let the money of the state be
used in opening up the great northwest.
ern part of the state and the parks which
lie in the main range of the mountains.
When money is expended to open up
such country as Routt county it will
bring rich returns. will vote for a road
opening up new regions, but it would be
throwing money away to build road
paralleling a railway" The situation as
presented by the senator is strong and
logical and finds hearty endorsement not
only at the hands of Boulder county resi-
dents, but from the people of the district
most interested. The papers ofthe great
northwestern part of the state are con
demning the scheme presented for con
structing a wagon road parallel with the
railroads running into Grand Junction
and they are bending every energy to
secure the route proposed by Senator
Maxwell, a route which will develop
new country as well as give the most di
rect line to the largest market .
