Stereo view of a lynching

I believe this image is known but I have no details as yet. I will add when I do. It is a lynching of a white man in a western town. Note the child looks on at the dead man.  Details known now:  The lynched man's name was Gus Mentzer. He was a saloon owner in Raton, Colorado in 1881. He got into a dispute with his partner and killed him. He then ran away and the townsmen chased him, caught him, and hanged him.
