Atrocity

On the Black Canon road, 20 miles out of Phoenix, Ariz., a crowd of homesteaders last week executed an orderly lynching. When the grisly ceremony was over, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work had been hanged for the second time in two weeks--in effigy. Again as at Scotts Bluff, Neb. (TIME, June 7, FARMERS), dissatisfaction with the Government's reclamation policy was the cause of the atrocity.
