Gloated Over the Tragedy
An Italian Roughly Handled by a Mob of Miners.
Leadville, Colo., Sept. 21.—An Italian miner at the Elk mine remarked that all kings and presidents should be killed and that it was the right thing to kill McKinley. Three hundred miners gathered at the shafthouse, waited until the fellow appeared, placed a rope around his neck and started for a railroad trestle. On the advice of some of the crowd the man’s life was spared, but he was badly choked and driven out of the camp by the miners with drawn revolvers.
