They secured i>oB»ra»lon of the prisoner despite Hardman’s pleadings that the law be allowed to take Its course, and galloped away. Reaching the lonely canyon they placed a rope about the man's neck, threw- one end over the branch of a tall tree, tied his feet together so that he could not struggle, strung him up and then rode away.
