mob has battered down the walls Of
the jail for the purpose OF lynching
Lawrence Iceberg, tramp, who yes
terday murdered Henry Lavenneyer,
a prominent farmer. near here.
Leberg's crime was the work Of q
fend. AlIghting from the Santa Fe
train yesterday afternoon at Robinson
station, near this city, he crossed the
river and secured meal from a far
mer named George Puvis. When Le-
berg finished eating he demanded
lodging but was refused because Of
his abusive language. Leberg left the
Purvis farm and after preparing
camp on the river bank started toward
the Purvis place, evidently bent on
revenge. He set fire to haystack
belonging to Lavenmayer, who took
Iceberg into custody, allowing him to
ride behind him on his horse. When
at the road entering his ranch, Le-
berg struck him on the head with
hammer which he found tied 70 La
venmeyer's saddle. The latter fell
stunned and Iceberg beat him until he
became tired. Iceberg left his victim
nj the road and went back to his camp
by the riverside. He soon returned
with a pocket knife. cut Lavenmeyer's
throat from ear to ear and attempted
to scalp him. The burning haystack
attracted the neighbors to the scene
and they found the mutilated body.
A posse was formed and Iceberg was
caught mile or two away. riding
Lavenmeyer's horse. He submitted to
arrest quietly and even boasted Of his
crima saying he drank the blood OF
his victim, Leberg was brought here
and lodged today. AT noon today
Sheriff Brown started for Pueblo with
his prisoner for better protection, but
was met by crowd Of 500 people who
protested against Leberg's removal and
he was again placed In jail here, AL
though there were frequent reports Of
mobs organizing to dispose Of Le-
berg not until tonight did they set
about carrying out their work Of ven
geance. Soon after dark several hun
dred men and boys appeared at the
Jail, but were refused admittance.
They then began an attack on the jar.
After several hours diligent effort at
storming the county jail the mob was
dispersed and it Is not thought that
further attempts viii be made tonight
to carry out the plan for vengeance.
The mob worked its way into the Jail
as far as the steel doors by breaking
down the wooden doors. but were met
with stern refusal from the jail Of
flcers to turn over their prisoner and
finally gave up. When apprehended
the murderer gave his name as Law
renee Leebrg. Many believe him in

The following is taken from the

Paul Gilmore, who has made great
artistic advances during the past
three seasons, appeared last night at

tic drama entitled Captain Debon-
naire." The New Year matinee was
the occasion of a large II appre-
eiative audience, and the theater was
crowded again last night. Mr.. Gli-
more's reception was altogether what
it should have been, repeated calls
finally bringing him before the cur

which good wishes were expressed

add that the drama Is fully as IN
