Andrews says were out for lark. It's
the old story of what drink will do for
a young reckless boy.
The members OF the Youngblood
family were peacefully sleeping in
rooms at the rear of their grocery at
1875 West Alameda avenue, Valverde.
About IL o'clock they were aroused by
loud rapping at the door. Thomas NJ
Youngblood, the aged head OF the
household, arose from bed and opened
the door.
Fred Arnold. Newton Andrews and
Charles Peters, who had gone to the
place for the purpose Of committing
robbery. broke in, taking the old man
entirely by surprise. The robbers were
masked, and Andrews and Arnold were
armed with revolvers. Their compan-
ion Peters, had only blackjack In his
hand.
In the doorway Mr.. Youngblood
fought desperately to save his family.
The struggle lasted but a few moments.
Mrs. Youngolood. wife Of the old man,
then appeared in the room with her
son, Robert. Shots were fired and the
old woman fell dead upon the floor.
Her son, Robert, was struck in the
Jaw by bullet and knocked out. Tie
murderers fed and climbed into
buggy, In which they had driven to
vslverde.
The Youngbloods were assaulted In
the night in their own home by young
men bent upon robbery. The mother
was killed and the son dangerously
wounded. 1t was one Of the worst
crimes ever reported in that city to
the police and the latter we're not slow
in getting after the murderers. All
three were landed in jail before morn
ing.
Market street and both were drunk.
Andrews was so badly under the In
fiuence Of drink that he drew his revolt
yer and fired in the air, thus attracting
the police to him. Arnold went to his
young wife and was pulled out of bed
and locked up. He was the first to
confess, but his first story was far from
the truth.
Subsequent developments showed
that Arnold had planned robbery.
He believed that the elder Y Youngblood
had considerable sum OF money In
the house, whereas the truth Of the
matter was that he was practically
penniless.
The murder was committed on
Thursday night On the following
night the three boys were taken into
the ofice Of the then chief Of police,
Hamilton Armstrong. Arnold already

The execution of Newton Andrews
and Fred Arnold, the Youngblod muir
derers occurred in the penitentiary last
Friday night, between eight and nine
O'Clock.
1t was not cheerful day at the pen,
but beyond few families of prison
employees Canon knew little OF the
matter and few people knew that an
execution was being planned.
The affairs at the pen do not trouble
the people of Canon very deeply and
in the case Of the Youngblood murder
ers the people of Denver have been
much more interested and have been
kept much better posted by numerous
red ink extras.
Friday night the Denver evening
paper issued special edition telling oil
the crime and of the execution-most
of which had been in type hours before.
There is no one at the pen who would
not gladly get out of town on the day
of an execution if he possibly could.
The ordeal is particularly trying on
Warden Cleghorn and Deputy Granger
who have entire supervision over the
matter.
The executions take place in a part
of the building short distance eas. OF
the big gate. There is window
through the wall opening into hall
near the execution room. few peo-
pie gathered outside the wall near this
window and while they could see moth
ing they could distinctly hear the drop
Of the heavy weight which jerked the
souls of the unfortunate men into
enternity.

Fred H. ~Vahrenkamp.

Fred II. Vahrenkamp, who is at pres
ent in Los Angeles, is contemplating
going into the brokerage business and
will probably have offices in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles in addition to
Goldfeld. Mr.. ~Vahrenkamp is inter-
ested in many and valuable properties in
the district and is developing the Aug
ust and Frances groups, which are ex-
c~ellently located and have a good show
ing; the New York group south OF Gold
field and the Gold Spring group of ten
claims adjoining. While these latter
groups are not close in, the ore looks
extra good and ASSAYS show splendid
values close tt the surface. Mr.. Nahren-
kamp is also interested in leases Z and s
on the Sandstone, as well as valuble
properties at Ida. In addition to these
mining interests, he and associates are
constructing IA reduction mill which Will
cost $4,000. Fred is a good mining
man, ii clever and popular fellow and
his success in business is almost a fore
gone conclusion.
