A MURDER AND LYNCHING.
William Hardin Kills a Mexican, and Is Captured and Lynched.
Kingston, N. M., April 16.—The news of a murder and lynching in the little town of Monticello is received here. William Hardin, the foreman of a cattle company, was in town and became intoxicated. To make a display he attempted to take a six-shooter away from Ed Simmons. Simmons resisted and a struggle ensued, when a Mexican interfered, and Hardin shot the Mexican. The murderer made his escape to the mountains, a short distance away. [H]e was pursued and captured by a mob, overtaken and shot and his body mutilated in a horrible manner.
Than you for joining me and as always, I hope I leave you with something to ponder.
