Jim Lynn, THE NEGRO
MURDERER IS HANGED
The ExecutSon Took Place Few Manotes After O'clock

tanned Hts Innocence to the Last

itentiary show that fully as many. II
not more, murders are committed In
this state under the operation Of capi-
tai punishment laws than where there
is no such laws upon the statute
books.
The crime for which Lynn was hung
was the shooting Of Sarah James and
Julia James, in Pueblo last spring.
He was found guilty before Judge Es-
sex of the Pueblo county district
court of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to death. Lynn claim
ed that he did not fire the fatal shot
and was innocent of the charge.
Posses searched for the negro for
several days before he was captured.
Fear of mob violence. which was well
founded, as shown by subsequent
events. led the authorities at Pueblo
to take the prisoner to Colorado
Springs for safe keeping, and he was
month or more later. Unaware that
Lynn was not in town mob Of In
dignant Pueblo citizens stormed the
county Jail with the intention Of
lynching him. Not believing the jail
er's statement that Lynn was in Colo
RADIO Springs, the mob sent two com
mittees through the Jail to search for
him. and when they were convinced
that he was not there, the infuriated
men secured several automobiles with
the avowed determination Of driving
to Colorado Springs and mete sum-
mary vengeance on the murder. They
changed their minds at the last min
ute. after the police and sherf6S of
ice OF Colorado Springs had beea
warned of the mob's intention. Sew
eral Of the alleged leaders Of the mob
were later arrested on informAtio00
fled by the district attorney Of Pue-
bio. charging them with conspiracy
to murder.

eeution were:

A exactly nve minutes past O'Clock
Thursday night, Jim Lynn, No. 71S4,
the colored murderer Of Sarah James
at Pueblo. on Nay IA, expiated his
crime upon the kalloWs at the peni-
tenttary in the presence of Warden
Cleghorn and few chosen witnesses.
Lynn's demeanor was calm and
composed and he approached the death
trap with measured and unflinching
step. He had NO statement to make,
other than the declaration that he
was innocent and was being made
the victim Of a grave injustice by
the law.
The execution was successful in
every way. the prisoners neck being
broken when the death trap was
sprung BY the hydraulic mechanism
which operates It. Twenty minutes
later the body was cut down and life
declared to be extinct BY the attend
ing surgeons The body was taken
In charge by the prison undertaken
and this morning placed In . plain
coffin and quietly buried in the peni-
tentiary cemetery on the hillside near
the entrance to the Royal Gorge; no
friend having appeared TO ask for the
remains.
After his Incarceration in the PEN
itentiary on the 3rd Of July. more
than three months ago. Lynn had but
few visits from his friends and little
e3ort was made by them In his be-
half. Once he was visited by Rev.
Owens, a colored minister Of Pueblo
and his wife was expected here to
see him on Wednesday Of this week,
but was compelled by illness to aban-
don the trip.
Lynn was intensely religious, claim
Ing to be . member OF the Baptist
church, and told Chaplain Blake .
few days ago that he had been .
praying man all his life.

BEE INSTINCT.

When the fruit bloomed the bees
made lots Of honey. When the freeze
killed the blossoms they could get
very little to make honey out OF. The
last of May and the first Of June the
bees were very strong and numerous
and commenced lying outside Of the
hive and gave every indication Of
swarming, and had one swarm that
came out then that have managed
to live. but have made little honey.
Now when the bees we're 80 strong
and all ready to swarm, why was 1t
that they did not do 30 unless they
had presentnent that II they left
home VIII ere there was an abundance
of food and took a new home where
now new supplies could be got owing

not swarm when they we're all ready
to do no.

PRESENT DR0UTn
WORSE IN HISTORY

The present drouth over Colorado
ia the worst that the Centennial state
has ever known and crops are drying
up in all parts of IL. especially where
they are entirely dependent on rain
fall for existence, aud also in many
cases where the farmers have irriga-
tion water. The conditions in this
part Of the state are no worse, prob.
ably. than In some Of the other Sec
tions of Colorado. but according to
reports received here. they are bad
enough any ywhere.
John T. Sanders has just returned
from fishing trip to the st Charles
river. about forty miles south Of
Florence and drove through vast
stretch Of farming territory. He says
that the crops of the dry farming
section in Red creek, sometimes call.
ed Oklahoma, are literally cooked
by the intense heat from the sun.
The farmers there have given up all
hope of raising crop this year.
The same conditions pre- vail In the
Wetmore section and farmers, instead
Of trying to raise q crop Of alfalfa,
have turned their cattle In on the al.
falfa land to Craze. thcre being no
grass for them to eat on the prairies.
There 10 no water in either the north
fork or the south fork of the Hard
scrabble to amount to anything.
The north fork Is entirely dry and
there Is only little In the holes
in the south fork. 1t Is not likely
that this fork of the stream will
go entirely dry and what few fish
are in the water are safe.
From Florence to the st. Charles
and down AS far as Pueblo the prairie
is so devoid Of vegetation that II a
lighted match was thrown onto the
land the weeds would make . prairie
fire. The cattle nre In bad shape and
they are said to be In worse condition
than they were last winter There
will be no annual roundup Of cattle
from that section this year. because
the cattle are In such . weakened
condition that 1t would not pay to
try to drive them any distance.
Farmers now say that II rain
should come In an abundance that 1t
would be too late to do any good
a. the time is past when crop Of
most of the kind Of stuff grown here
could be made for this year. Mois-
ture might make late crop of corn
aud 1t would probably save the alfsl.
IA from dying out entirely. but they
do not expect to even grow a partial
crop Of alfalfa.
Springs in the mountains that have
never been known to fail are dry this
year. Victor IL clRmoripg for water
and unless the supply in Beaver creek
is replenished at once. that city will
use water from the mines, Victor.
Cripple Greek and Colorado Springs
get the most Of the water they use
for domestic purposes from Beaver
creek. and as that stream has gone
almost dry, with the rest hereabouts
In common, those municipalities are
casting about for other supply
sources.
Fishermen who go to the streams
hereabouts will be deprived Of their
pleasure this year M the fish are not
biting good on account Of INSULT
cient water. Even IL rains come 1t
will only make the streams rise tenn
pornrily and as soon A. the rains are
over the water will run low again.
Down In the eastern part Of the state
the beet seed that was planted in the
spring has not yet sprouted.
