a mob, this was the first time it found
vent In a decided expression. The cry was
y. soon taken up and spread rapidly. 1t was
horted on the streets this morning that
yerier had been recaptured and hung at
Lovelsnd. This proved groundless. one
story is that Berner In running from the
y crowd at Loveland ran into the Mis- mi river
and drowned, This is not imurobabls, as
the night was very dark and no trace can
