Tramp MuH|ates Dody Of CO.,
orado Man Who Had
Given Him Food
BEATS HIM WITH HAMMER
CUTS THROAT AND SCALPS
When Leberg Is Caught He Boasted
of His Crime and Said He Had
Drunk His Victims
Blood.

Las Animas, Colo, December 26.-After
several hours of diligent effort at storm
ing the county jail, mob which gath
cred after dark for the purpose of avens-
ing the death of Henry Bavenmeyer,
we'll known farmer, who was murdered IN
a most brutal way by tramp, dispersed
and it is not thought that further at
tempt will be made tonight to carry out
the plan of vengeance
\ The mob worked it's way into the jail
as far as the steel doors by breaking
down the wooden doors, but were met
with a stern refusal by the Jail keeper to
turn over the prisoner and finally gave
It up
When apprehended the murderer gave
his name Lawrence Iceberg and many
believe him to be insane.
Inhuman Crime.
Leberg's crime was inhuman.
Alighting from a Santa Fe freight train
yesterday afternoon at Robinson, he
crossed the river and secured meal
from farmer named Purvis. When Le-
berg finished eating he demanded lodging
but was refused because of his abusive
language. Iceberg left the Purvis farm,
and after preparing a camp on the river
bnak. started back toward Puryis place,
evidently bent on revenge.
He set fire to hay rack belonging to
Heply Iayenmeyer, thinking 1t was the
property of Purvis. The fire attracted
Lavenmeyer. who took Iceberg into GUS,
tody. allowing him to ride behind him
on his horse. When Lavenmeyer dis
mounted to open the gate. at the road en-
tering his ranch, Leberg struck him on
the head with hammer, which he found
tied TO Lavenmeyer's saddle.
The latter fell stunned and Iceberg beat
him over the head until he became tired.
Iceberg left his victim dying in the road
and went back to his camp, He returned
soon after and with a pocket knife cut
Lavenmeyer' throat and attempted to
scalp him.
Boasts of Crime.
The burning haystack attracted the
neighbors to the scene, who found the
mutilated body. A posse was formed and
Iceberg was caught a mile or two away
riding. Lavenmeyer's horse. He submitted
to arrest quietly and even boasted of his
crime saying that he had drunk the blood
of his victim.
Iceberg was brought here and lodged in
Jail. At noon today Sheriff Brown started
for Pueblo with his prisoner for better
protection, but was met by crowd of
300 people who protested against Leberg's
removal, and he was again placed In
prison Although there were frequent re-
ports OF mobs organizing to dispose of
Leberg, not until tonight did they set
about carrying out the work of ven-
geance.
Soon after dark several hundred men
and boys arrived at the jail, but were
fused admittance. Almost Immediately
they began an attack on the jail.

A TAME SCHOOL ELECTION
No Opposition Developed to Caucus
Nominees and Eut Few Votes
are Cast

The school election passed off very
quietly. On Monday forenoon there
were rumors that an opposition
ticket would be placed in the field but
those spoken of declined to allow the
use of their names and the vote
though light was unanimous. Last
year there was a demand for a cit
liens caucus for the nomination of
school directors and there was feel
ing that the caucus having been held
in accordance with this desire, the
men so nominated should be allowed
a clear field. There were fewer votes
cast at the election than at the eau
Gus. Mr.. Nicholson and Mr.. Romans
who were reelected have both shown
great interest in the schools and Deni-
son has reason for nothing but pride
in it's school system. We congratu-
late the reelected members in the
vote of confidence which they received
from the people.

UNCLE JIMMIE DEAD
James Sheridan Passed Away
on Sunday Morning
A WELL KNOWN CHARACTER
Every body in Crawford County Knew
and loved the Kind Hearted Guard
ian of the Court House

Mr.. James Sheridan, known to one
and all as ''Uncle Jimmie died at
his home on Railroad Avenue on Sun
day morning. He had been in poor
health for some time and of late had
become discouraged about himself and
had told his friends that he had not
much longer to live
For a number of years "Uncle
Jimmie" was the custodian of the
court house and in this way he became
known to nearly all the people of the
county. He had the wit of his native
land and was always ready with re-
partee that went right to the spot.
There was not a particle of malice and
beneath the rugged exterior there was
as warm heart as ever beat beneath
the breast Of the ue-hearted sons of
the Emerald Isle.
1t was his quaint and original hui
NOR that suggested the series of arti-
cles published in the Review at differ
ent times anent county politics,
though it is but fair to say that he
was above all things true to his party
and his friends and that he furnished
none of the material for the articles.
Mr.. Sheridan will be greatly miss

the court house, but this shows but

FORM NEW PARTNERSHIP
Green and Son are now Proprietor:
of Denison Brick Works

AS just recognition of the faith
fulness, efficiency and ability of his
won, Mr.. C. Green has made him a
partner in the Denison Brick Works,
one of Denison's Oldest and most re-
liable institutions. Mr.. Green has
built up large business. He is one
of the few men who has taken his
high Christian principles into his work
with him and the result is that he has
built up a business reputation beyond
reproach. His son Arthur knows
every branch of the business and is
we'll prepared to enter into and to con-
tinue it's affairs. Too often we see
the son drifting away from the father
and the business he has established
by long effort, and it is real pleasure
to record case where father and
son work hand in hand. There can be
nothing but success ahead of the new
firm which is now better prepared
than ever before to turn out good
brick and plenty of them.

one side of a man who was faithful,
kind to his family and an Industrious
hard working man all his life.
Mr.. Sheridan not only loved his
family dearly but he was greatly be-
loved by them. The death of his son,
John, in September, 1900, was
great blow to him and it was noticed
by all his friends that after that time
his health failed rapidly and that he
had lost a great deal of his JOY in liv-
ing While not rich in this worlds
goods, Uncle Jimmie was rich in his
unfailing good-numor, his integrity
and his numberless friends. He had
hoped to be the custodian of the new
court house, and we would like TO
have seen him there. 1t was not to
be, but we know that it wi be many
years before the memory OF him fades
and that that memory will always be
a kindly one. For ourselves, we were
glad to be numbered among "Uncle
Jimmies" friends, TO. while he liked
nothing better than vigorous OPP
ponent he hated smallness and bypoc-
risy and he was quick to recognize the
good or bad qualities either in friend
or foe. Should all of us perform
our parts as conscientiously and as
we'll as he did we need have no fear
Of the Great Beyond.
Mn. Sheridan was born in County
Armagh, Ireland and was sixty-fve
years of age at the time of his death.
He came to America when lad of
sixteen living at first in Lee County
Ill.,, where he worked on farm. He
was married in 1865 to the loving,
faithful wife who now survives him.
Of their family but two daughters,
Mrs. Mary Coan and Mrs. Sarah Egg
gers, both o. Denison, survive him.
He came to Iowa about thirty years
ago, working until 1885 in Dunlap, he
then moved to this city where he has
since resided. Funeral services were
held at St. Rose of Lima church or
Tuesday at 1000 a. M, Rev. Father

of old friends and his remains were
laid to rest in the old Catholic GENE.

DIR. WILLIAM IsEMINGER.

The first time we read Ian
M Claren' wonderful book, ''Beside
the Bonnie Briar Bush" and laughed
and wept, rejoiced and sorrowed with
DR.. Weelum Mcclure we thought at
once of DIR. Weelum Iseminger of
Denison. And every time we have
read the little volume, and it is one
of the books of which one never tires,
the good old Scotch physician stood
before us in the person of the pioneer
Denison Doctor, man who we know
possesses all those qualities which
have been immoraliZed in literature
by DR.. Watson. Thirty and forty
years ago the work of practising
physician, always hard, was infinitely
harder than at present. 1t meant tre-
mendous drives over well-nigh track
less praires, it meant cold and ex-
posture and oft times hunger for the
sturdy doctor. The people were poor
and the fees were small. There was
little chance for consultation and in
the battle of life and death the ply
sician had no reinforcements upon
which he might call. There were no
telephones by which miles of weary
travel might be saved, there was very
little that was attractive save the
sense of duty we'll performed. 1t was
under such circumstances that DR.. Is
meminger won the undying love and
esteem of this community,a AN affection
from which nothing can detract.
He managed during those years to
save little money and with good
Judgment he invested his savings in
the then cheap lands of Crawford
county. The rise in values has en-
abled the doctor to retire in later
years to well-earned ease, secure, be-
You'd all peradventure in the love OF
all his fel!ow-citizens. Doctor Isemin-
ger is republican of republicans,
stalwart in every emergency, faithful
and true as the stars in their course.
Some time ago he was approached by
a number of old-time residents and
asked to be candidate for mayor on
the republican ticket. His reply was
that if it was the unanimous wish OF
the republicans he would accept, but
that under no circumstances would he
seek the nomination. DR.. Iseminger
found that there was another, a young
man, the brother of his old friend ane
fellow worker, DR.. w. T. Wright,
who was candidate for the office.
DR.. Iseminger realized that to Young
man the Office might mean very much.
That it might be stepping stone, ar
encouragement, an honor and a res
possibility that would affect the
whole course of another's life. DR..
Iseminger realized that to him it
meant very little. His place in the
community was secure. He did not
need the financial income of the office

and while he appreciated the honor
and the confidence in him displayed by
his many friends, his big heart and
his kindness prompted him to give the
young man clear and open field.
This is the story of the republican
nomination TO Mayor Mr.. Wright
became candidate, not in malice or
in spite for anyone, but prompted by
the very legitimate ambition to better
his condition in life, and urged therto
by a large number of young republicans
who know that in more ways than one
there is not a whiter;' more level
headed, more trustworthy young man
in Denison. On the other hand we
see the magnanimity of the veteran
republican who did not wish for a
moment to stand in the way of worthy
youth. This is the kind of man DIR.
lseminger is, the kind of man he
always. has been and we know enough
of HIM to know that with his with
drawal went his encouragement and
support for the republican nominee.

HABIT IS TOO STRONG

Office Seeking Habit

Democrats Will Have No Partisan

Ticket In Field
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For Mayor, John T. Carey
For Solicitor, e. K. Burch
For Treasurer, G. j. Kemming
For Assessor, nj. N. Smith
ALDERMEN.
First ward, Frank Faul
Second ward, j. H. Jones
Third ward, P. M. Lane
The democratic caucuses last night
were fairly we'll attended. Mayor
Carey had managed to keep the demo-
Gratis in the dark as to his intention
up to the last moment and many We're
present hoping that he would not run
and that they would have chance to
vote for their favorites. When it
came to the pinch, however, Mr.. Carey
decided not to break his record of
never declining nomination and after
being sufficiently urged he accepted.
r. K. Burch was nominated for city
solicitor, position which he has
sought with out avail full many time
and oft. He proved to be the orator
of the occasion and tried to instil
some life into the we'll nigh hopeless
situation. So high did the spirit of
partisanship run that complete
ticket was named through not man
in town can say anything against c.
L. Voss as treasurer or our splendid
assessor, A. j. Bond.
G. j. Kemming was pitted against
| Voss and M. N. Smith against Juddie.
The ward caucuses were tame
affairs as except in the second there is
absolutely no hope for victory. Frank
Faul was named to lead the forlorn
hope in the First ward and P. M.
Lane was put up to be slaughtered by
"Hans" THEM. In the second ward
j. H. Jones who had hirted with the
nomination much as Carey did, con-
cluded to accept and this put the
other hopeful ones out Of the running.
1t is a mistake for any candidate not
to state his position clearly and then
stand by 1T. 1T is not fair to others
to encourage them to become candi-
dates as was done in these two cases
and then on the last day to about face
and place others in an embarrassing
position.
In reality the democrats hope to
elect but two men on their ticket,
Carey and Jones, although some of the
more sanguine ones hope that the
popularity of these two will pull the
rest of the ticket through. 1t is up
to the republicans now to stand firmly
in line and show our democratic friends
that Denison is republican, town, and
that while they may be willing to
join in a non-partisan movement at
times they do not expect either John
Carey or the democratic party 10 hog
it all the time.

OLD GLORY.
Salem Skippes Credited with Civ
ing the Flag This Name.

That the American flag was named
Old Glory In 1851 by II Salem (Mass)
ikipper named William Driver is as
serted by the Boston Globe. He was
at that time captain of the brig Charles
Doggett.
Captain Driver, Il successful deep sea
sailor, was preparing to shape the
briggs course to the southern Pacific.
Just before the brig left Salem
young man at the head of party of
friends saluted Captain Driver on the
deck of the DOggett and presented him
with Il large and beautifully made
American flag. 1t was done up in
stops and when sent up aloft and bro
ken out to the air Captain Driver chris
tened it Old Glory.
He took it to the south Pacific, and
years after when old age forced him to
relnquish the sea he treasured the flag
as an old friend.
Captain Driver moved to Nashville,
Tenn, in 1857 and died there in 1856
Previous to the outbreak of hostilities
between the north and the south Old
Glory was flung to the breeze every
day from the window of Captain Driv-
er's Nashville house, but when the bul-
lets began to zip and the OdOr of gun
powder to faint the air the old flag had
to be seCreted
1t was kept out of sight inside a
great bed comfortably until Feb. 81,
1852, when BriGadier General Nelson's
wing of the Union army appeared In
Nashville, Captain Driver presented 1t
to the general to be hOisted on the
capitol. 1t was run up by Captain
Driver himself He watched it through
the night and, heavy wind coming
up, he took il down and sent Il new
flag up in its place.
The original Old Glory was pre-
served and after the death of Captain
Driver it was presented by the com
piler of the Driver memoirs TO the Es-
sex institute mt Salem, Mass, where il
may now be seen.

OF the burning mountain during the
present period of activity. The elder
Pllny, who was at MiSenum in com.
mand of the Roman fleet there when
smoke was first observed over the
summit of Nesuvius, behaved in very
cool and courageous manner and in at
tempting to assist others to places of
safety was himself overwhelmed by
the ashes and sulphurous vapors and
suffocated. Three days aftcrward,
when the smoke and ashes had cleared
away, his body was found lying upon
the ground without any marks upon ii
and looking as if the Roman writer
and philosopher had simply fallen
asleep.
The younger Pliny, nephew and
adopted son of the elder, escaped from
the terrible scene in safety with his
mother, and his account In letters to
the historian TacituS of the things he
witnessed is one of the most vivid sto-
ries ever written about such Il Calam-
ity. He and his mother supposed that
they wcse periShing with the world it
self and that all mankind was cnvel-
oped In the same awful calamity, yet
they preserved their senses and kept
standing up and shaking off the ashes
and cinders which fell so heavily upon
them and thus We're not buried in the
heap, as so many others We're. In the
dense darkness which prevailed, com
pletely obsCuring the light of the sun,
