Captured in the Mountains on the Wyoming-Colorado Boundary
New-York Times / March 7, 1898
CHEYENNE, Wyoming, March 7. — Meagre details were received here to-night of the lynching in the Henry Mountains near the Wyoming-Colorado boundary of three members of the "Robbers' Roost" band of outlaws which has been terrorizing that region for several years. The men lynched are Louis P. Johnson, F. Bemret, and an unknown man.
Two weeks ago Johnson murdered a boy named William Strong at Valentine Hoy's ranch, Wyoming. Hoy headed a posse to pursue Johnson and was ambushed and killed Monday last. A posse of Hoy's friends headed by Sheriff's deputies continued the pursuit and caught three of the outlaws, who were promptly put to death.
