The people who live In houses and

Murderer of Policeman Craig Saved
From Mob by Removal to Pueblo.

PUEBLO, July THE threatened
lynching, at La Junta, Of Bob Harris,
the negro murderer of Chief of Po-
lice Craig at Rocky Ford, was averted
yesterday afternoon by the Otero
county authorities secretly moving the
prisoner from the Jail and hurrying
him to Pueblo in an automobile where
he arrived last night. 1t was feared
that after dark the mob might at
tack the Jail and while arrangements
were made for military as well as
civil protection it was considered wise
to get the murderer into another coun-
ty Jail, and avoid possible blood shed
in defending him. Sheriff Potter of
Otero county, decided on this plan
after long consultation over the tcle-
phone with Governor Shafroth and
Adjutant General Chase of Denver.

EXECUTE NEGRO MURDERER.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July THE
execution of Daniel Duncan, the negro
convicted about year ago of the mur-

afternoon in the courtyard of the city
prison. The murder of Lubelsky, a
King street tailor, occurred on June
2i of last year. He was found in his
shop senseless and lying in a pool of
blood The only clue left by the muir
derer, whose motive was robbery was
a bloody stick with which the crime
mad been committed. A few weeks
later the widow of the murdered man
was attacked in her husbands place
of business in manner similar to
that which resulted in the death of
Lubelsky. Duncan was seized outside
the store and recognized by neigh
Dor as the man in whose hands he
had seen the stick with which the
tailor was killed shortly before the
murder took place. The negro was
tried and convicted of the crime. His
case was carried to the state supreme
court, which tribunal declined to in
teifere with the verdict.

NEW MEXICO LAND FIGHT.

City Engineer Roy Goodman was an
outgoing passenger on the eastern to-
day bound for Santa Fe, where he is
summoned as a witness in govern
ment land case. Two townships l.
Gated in the north central part of
New Mexico are involved, the point at
issue being the titles and descriptions
cf lands settled number of years
ago, many OF which have changed
hands a number of times.
Some years rast the government let
a contract to sectionize the townships,
after which the land was open for set
tiement. 1t is claimed that errors
were made in the survey, and one sec
tion left out. This has confused the
boundaries and mixed up matters bad
ly. In addition, there are in several
instances double claimants for the
same piece of land.
The case is of interest, since there
are similar conditions existing in La
Plata county, although not so badly
involved or on so large scale. Mr..
Goodman expects to be absent abou
Il week.
Emmett Writ, the post trader at
pulce, is also summoned as wit
