its purpose the gathering OF facts

to the notice OF the colonists that
there no place in any of the public
buildings which they can have as

A vote OF thanks was extended the

CUT DOWN TREE ON
WHICH MAN HANGED

OF historic interest from the fact
on Saturday. December 30, 1888, is
one of the large cottonwood trees
back. of the old Catholic church which
is to be cut down for the purpose OF
excavation preparatory to the ercc-
tion of the Sterling hotel and thea
ter. The hanging of French was the
only one which ever occurred in the
city of Greeley
French killed Harry Woodbury.
about two weeks before he was hang
ed, 1t was stated at that time that
undue influence brought about by
certain of French's friends to clear
him of the murder charge was .he
cause of the hanging.
On the night of December 30,
about 100 men formed themselves
into vigilance committee and about
O'Clock in the morning a delega-
tion of dozen armed men went to
the office of Sheriff Wolaver and de-
manded the keys. He refused them.
AS he attempted to get to the Jail,
Wolaver was captured and bound and
gagged, was taken to another part
of the town while the mob did it's
work
The rope was a three-quarter-inch
rope and was thrown over branch
about twenty feet from the ground
Feeling was divided at the time over
the hanging.
The crime for which French was
hanged was committed on the night
of December Is, 1888, because of
an unsatisfactory settlement of
small deal regarding the shares work
| ing of one of French's ranches which
Woodbury. rented.
On the night in question French
went to the Woodbury. home with his
12-year-old son. John Sample and
John Hogan and shot Woodbury.
down before the latter's wife.
The party then fed to French's
ranch some four miles distant
SherIff Wolaver summoned a posse
and. going to Frenchs ranch. placed
all four of the persons implicated
under arrest.

spite his effort to decline renomina-
tion, was again elected president for
life. or as long as he remains in Gree

ciety. Mrs. Sophia Thomas. the able
secretary OF the organization, was
likewise reelected AT the meeting
held at the court house Tuesday
In place of j. A. Woodbury.. former
treasurer of the organization, his son,
A. a. Woodbury., was appointed. Mr..
Woodbury. Sr.. was forced to resign
because OF the fact that his hearing
is growing detective. c. A. White
was named vice president. in the
place of the late Madison Smith.
or utmost Importance was the
question taken up of the celebration
of the fortieth anniversary of the
Union Colony. A committee was ap-
pointed by President West to take up
the question. The committee named
consists of b. D. Sanborn, chairman.
j. Max Clark and Leroy Carpenter.
The date will either be on May 3.
on which day in 1870 a delegation
OF eighty-fve Union Colonists arriv-
ed. or on July 4, when in 1870 a
great picnic was held by the colon
lists at Island Grove park.
The committee named will confer
with the city council regarding the
exact date. which will be one OF the
two mentioned, and the celebration
will be one of the greatest whicn
Greeley has ever seen.

right of way of the Union Pacifc
can show that these lands were filed
upon previous to the year 1866, the
time of the congressional grant to

most of the property owners cannot
show that the lands which they claim
were filed upon previous to the year
1866.
