J. W. Lynch, one of the big cattle men of San Miguel County, with six of his cowboys, is under arrest. Lynch is held in the sum of $5000 for trial and each of his men in the sum of $1000. Lynch has been considered a tough citizen for years, and will now no doubt have a chance to explain many of his crooked actions. If he is guilty he should be sent to the pen at hard labor for years, and the chances seem to be that he will get there. There is entirely too much stealing in this country, and an example should be made of the big as well as the little thieves.
