This article comes to us through the pages of The Leavenworth Times (Leavenworth, Kansas) dated July 16, 1880:
At Lincoln, in Lincoln county, New Mexico, the citizens united in celebrating three days in succession in a thrillingly unique manner. On the 3d a drunken prisoner in jail was lynched; on the 4th the Deputy Sheriff was lynched by the deceased's friends, and on the 5th another prisoner was taken from the jail and lynched. Further returns are awaited for with interest.
Thank you for joining me and as always, I hope I leave you with something to ponder.
