BOULDER CAMERA PRAISE
ACTION OF WARDEN lyman

We criticised Governor Shafroth's
appointment of Thomas lyman to be
warden Of the penitentiary. We didn't
know lyman. No one seemed to know
lyman except some grocer patrons OF
the Morey Mercantile company, for
which house he was a drummer. Now
all the state knows lyman. He might
not have done much to elect the ad-
ministration, but he has done much
10 cause it to deserve reelection.
The particulars recited In Canon City
dispatches show that when lyman
shoots he shoots to kill. That's the
idea. Several of our wardens have
simply "shot off their mouths" and
innocent men have died because of
the absence of strong hand. Colcra-
