PUEBLO MOB {
Z SEEKS NEGRO
HUNDREDS GATHER At COUNTY
JAIL TO TRY TO LYNCH
MURDERER.
BY ABSENCE
ONLY pEsIsT AFTER COMMITTEE
HAS THOROUGHLY SEARCHED
BUILDING.

Denver.-A Pueblo dispatch Monday
night says: Believing that Jim ynn.
the negro who last Thursday morning
here at Pueblo murdered Sarah James.
sixteen-year-old white girl, after
which he wounded her mother, Is con-
fined in the county jail here, mob OF
400 tonight visited the jail and de-
manded that Lynn be turned over to
them.
The mob, after beating down the
outer doors, would not disperse until
Sheriff Mcmillan had allowed two COM
mittees to search every nook and cram
ny of the building.
The moo was thoroughly organized,
and evidently desperately in earnest
Reports have been prevalent all
through the evening that Lynn had
been brought in to the city, and ex-
citement was high.
About o'clock man on horseback.
with rope trailing along the ground,
rode through the streets, calling for
men to accompany him to the jail.
He was quickly accommodated, and
within half an hour a mob surrounded
the place, and was threatening to
storm the building.
Several heavy planks were secured
and used as battering rams. The outer
iron door was quickly broken and the
officers, realizing that the door could
not hold much longer, began to parley.
The result of the conference was
that committee of five was appointed
to search the jail. When it reported.
the members of the mob refused to be-
lieve the report and began threaten
ing to again storm the doors.
Another conference was held and a
committee of twelve was sent through
the building.
When 1t reported that the man was
not there the mob dispersed.
Lynn is now in Colorado Springs
and will not be brought here until the
excitement has quieted.
Practically all of the county officers
and the police were summoned to the
jail tonight as a result of the mob's
visit. Feeling here is against Lynn
and although his trial has been ar
ranged for June 9th, 1t is believed to
be unsafe to bring him to Pueblo.
The trial of Lynn. who was ar
rested at Limon Saturday night, will
open here June 9th.
Sarah James, who was killed by the
negro, was buried today, the funeral
being largely attended. Julia James,
her mother, is holding her own at the
hospital and may recover.

LOCAL BAPTISTS WILL
 ENTERTAIN DELEGATES
LaneAeon ssx roung People m Reute to Troy.

At the eallsd meeting of the city or. ganization Of the Baptist Young Peo- ple's Union held Friday night In the assembly room of the First Baptisi Church, resolutions were introduced proposing to entertain the delegates tc the State Convention of the BN Y. P. U. to be held at Troy Ala, on April i7.
 By unanimous consent it was dectd- ed to entertain delegates en routs to the convention by q luncheon to be given at the First Baptist Church. To this end the President was empowered to appoint throe members from each Union to form . Committee on Arr rangements-
 It was also announced to the meet ing that pr. George P. Webb, General Secretary of the B '. P. U. orgauisa- ton of America, has accepted an invi- tation extended to him by the Preaf- dent of the city organization to ad- dress the city unions on the night of April s. pr. Webb will be on route to the convention at Troy.
 It was expected that the annual eleo- tion of officers for the ensuing year would occur at Fridays meeting. bt,f on the call of President Hendley, II was stated that such election could nak occur. on account of the action of the last meeting tn declaring that the an- nuaI election should be held at the next regular meeting of the unions. It was through an error that the motion made for the election should have been made and so spread upon the minutes at the poorly attended meeting held at the Highland Avenue Baptist Church at the regular time two weeks ago.
