GOOD SEND OFF FOR MEXICAN.
Prayer Offered BY One of the Miners
Before Hanging Thief.

A Denver man tells n story Of min
ing days in Colorado. A Mexican who
had repeatedly evinced Il weakness
for robbing the sluice boxes was
caught for the third or fourth time.
In view of his numerous offences
in this respect. it was promptly decid-
cd that the greaser should he strung
up. Among those prominent in the
proceedings was a big-hearted Den
verite. who wanted to give the DOOM
ed individual chance to pray, but as
he declined to avail himself of the
privilege the master of ceremonies
started in to give the Mexican what
the miners called good send-off."
After recounting the mans crime as
an Reuse for the hanging, the petit
toner said:
This man is unfit to live: he can
not associate with honest people: he
is an outcast, the very worst in Gilpin
County. and so, 0 Lord, take him to
Thyself.'
The Mexican was then properly
hanged.-Harper's Weekly.
