Cheyenne, Wyoming:, Oct. 30,-Further particulars of the  double lynching on Snake River, Carbon County, last week have reached here. The  bodies of Adams and "Dutchy," the victims, were discovered by a settler named  Davie Phelps, who followed the trail of. the masked horsemen from the improvised  Jail to the place of execution. The mounts of Adams and Dutchy were killed, as  were also their hunting dog. A coat worn by one of the vigilantes was found near  the bodies and the owner may be identified. A Coroners Jury is investigating the  case. During the inquiry it has been learned that Dutchy's" name was Charles  Lutzier. Robert Mcintosh, an old-timer in that region, has notified the Governor  of Wyoming of the occurrence,' and urges that the lyncher's be punished. He says  the hanging of the men was a brutal, cowardly, and outrageous murder. Adams was  a veteran and came from Illinois where he had a brother and sister and an aged  mother. In examining his effects it was learned that he was soon to come into  possession of a legacy valued at $40,000. New  York Times (1857-Current file);Oct 31, 1888;

THREE SKELETONS FOUND

PROSPECTORS LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE SEEKING FOR GOLD.  Cheyenne, Wyoming. Nov. 3.—The discovery has Just been reported to Carbon County  authorities of the skeletons of three men in a camp in the wildest portion of  the Wolf Mountains. The frames were lying close together wrapped in blankets,  and the manner of death is a profound mystery. A small sum of money and a watch  were found in the pockets of one of the men, making it evident that if they were  murdered the crime was not committed for mercenary motives. A diary which had  been carefully kept to Aug. 28,1886, by one of the prospectors, told their story  to a day or two before death. Their names were Charles E. Bumes, Nathan Fubbard,  and George Cantline, and they left Linkville, Oregon, in the Spring of 1886 to  search for the legendary Lost Cabin gold mines. These mines, it Is said, were  opened by a party of Argonauts, more than forty years ago, and are .reputed to  be immensely rich. The adventurers were driven out one Fall by Indians, and  returning in the Spring were wholly unable to relocate their claim a. The  savages had eventually destroyed every evidence of the presence of white men.  and even the trails bad been completely obliterated. The majority of the Party  gave up the search after a few months, but two gold fever victims remained in  the region for years, eventually becoming demented hermits, and Anally dying in  their mountain home. Prominent citizens of Wyoming have from time to time  outfitted parties to hunt for the mines, but all searches have been fruitless.  The Indians have kept their secret well. That It is still in their possession is  evident by periodical sales of virgin gold by the crafty chief of a small band  of predatory Cites. Bumes's diary tells of a quite eventful over- land journey  from Oregon to the Wolf Mountains, and of the assiduous search for the Lost  Cabin. Some days he thinks they are near the treasure, and again he "writes In a  hopeless fashion, calling the trip a fool's errand. He scouts the idea that the  Indians concealed the wealth, and says that either an earthquake or landslide  removed the valuable gulch. The three men prospected in different directions  each day, and moved their camp two or three times a week. Bumes writes in  one  place: " We will dig over every inch of this wilderness before we give up; the  discovery will make us all millionaires." The area of Wolf Mountains is several  hundred thousand acres. The skeletons of the three prospectors have been  minutely examined by surgeons, but no hint of the cause of death has been  discovered. Violence and starvation are out of the question. They may have  flavored their game diet with some poisonous weed A favorite theory and one with  precedents is that one of the three poisoned. smothered, or strangled his  companions and afterward made away with himself There have been numerous cases  In the mining districts of one covetous spirit killing his mate and then  accepting a maniac's fate.

John A. Guthrie, 92, of Laramie, Wyo., a native of Mexico,  was recently featured in a story in the Laramie Sunday Boomerang in which he  recalled days as a frontier bank examiner. He was born here Nov. 1, 1883. After  graduating from William Jewell College in 1906 with a liberal arts degree, he  took a job as a bookkeeper in the bank of his father, Judge J. A. Guthrie who  was president of the Southern Bank of Mexico. In 1916, Mr. Guthrie went to  Thermopolis, Wyo., and worked in the Thermopolis State Bank as a bookkeeper. He  was appointed as assistant to the state bank examiner of Wyoming in 1917 and  moved to Cheyenne. "At that time there were 48 state banks in Wyoming. I  examined their books twice a year," Mr. Guthrie said. "The first time I came to  Laramie was in 1917 as a bank Cheyenne for the next two years, but came to  Laramie to stay in 1920. "I came to Laramie as Vice President of the First  National Bank. Laramie wasn't as large as it is now," said Mr. Guthrie. "The  university was small. Business was good. We had two oil refineries here then,  the McFadden oil field was coming in then. It was located northwest of Laramie,  in Carbon County, near Rock River," he said. "We have stockyards here then, out  north of town. The stockyards were quite a big operation. Cattle were shipped in  from different points on the Union Pacific and fed here. The UP had shops and a  roundhouse here then," related Mr. Guthrie. The two oil refineries closed around  1924. "They built a refinery up near Rawlins, in Parco. When the pipeline opened  the refineries closed," he explained. Mexico Ledger | Mexico,  Missouri | Monday, January 19, 1976 | Page 12

transcribed by Debbie GibsonHome From Wyoming – Peter Thorton and T. J.. McDonnell have returned from Kimmerer, Wyo., where they disposed of the land holdings of their brother, Mr. Thorton, who died there about two years ago and was the owner of considerable real estate and personal property. With the land which was sold on this trip, they disposed of all his holdings in Wyoming and only 235 acres left in Idaho. The land sold the other day brought $30,260 and was bought by McGinniss & Warner. The land sold previously amounted to $5,200. The personal property consisted of several thousand head of horses and cattle and the five persons interested received quite a sum of money from the estate. Mr. Thorton went west 30 or 40 years ago and was of an industrious turn and managed to accumulate quite a fortune. As he had never married, the property reverted to his brothers and sisters.
