MOB'S VICTIM
PROVO LUNATIC
Former Salt Laker Hanged for
Murder at Las AnimaS,
Colo.

Lars Iceberg. who was lynched Thurs
day night in Las Animas, Colo. for the
murder of Henry Lavenmeyer was ar
rested in Bingham last June on a charge
of insanity and for a time confined in the
county jaii here and later sent TO the il =
sane asylum al Provo.
1ebery seemed possessed of a peculiar
incendiary mania when drunk and his de-
sire seemed always to set something on
fire He was arrested at Bingham by
Deputy Sheriff Williams and brought 10
salt Lake On complaint of Deputy Sheriff
j. C. Sharp be was committed to the
Provo asylum by Judge Lewis. On Aug.
Is he was discharged from the asylum as
cured and left for Silver City. Ida, where
he claimed to have relatives
He went first To Leadville and then TO
Victor Colo where ali trace was lost
of him until he was arrested a few days
AGO near Las Animas. He had set fire
10 tie haystack of Henry LavenmeyeT, a
farmer i'm that vicinity, and when taken
caDtiVe BY the farmer seized a hammer
and beat him to death He was arrested
for murder by the sheriff and lodged in
the county jail from which he was taken
forciblv by an armed mob Thursday night
and hanged To a telegraph pole.
DR. Calder. superintendent of the Provo
insane asylum. said that in his opinion
the mob at Las AniTnas had lynched a lu-
natic He said he believed that tie set
ting fire TO the haystack and the murder
of the farmer were manifestations OF the
return Of the terrible manila Of which
Iceberg had been possessed There was no
motive for the inCendiaTiSm or the murder
and the only plausible explanation seems
that the perpetratOr was insane

Saves One Third.
This commission entered upon its
duties five years ago last September.
George Gibe Turner, in his notable ar
iicle in October McCiure's, saws that
the application of business methods in
city government has saved Galveston
cne-third of her gross running ex-
penses; that i'm the four and a half
years of commission government end
ing Feb. Is. 1905, there was a saving
of over 81 .0o0, 00e. How was this saw
ing affected? Just as It is in 3ny other
business enterprise, by getting a dol
lars worth of service for every dollar
expended; by stopping the leaks isl
every quarter and cutting favorites out
of every department.

Twelve Trunk Lines.
The railroads. too, have thrown
their loving arms about us, twelve
great trunk lines converging within the
western portion of the city, with their
intricate network of tracks and yards
and their tumuituous hullaboioos of
screams and bells. The passenger de-
pots, of which there are five, are all
marvels of architectural magniicence
and convenience though none of the
newer ones excel in beauty and cost
illness those two model union stations
erected as long ago as 1907 by the Har-
riman and Gould roads, these having
been planned in the beginning by their
shrewd designers TO meet the enlarged
wants of a growing and greater city.

TO report that the coal fanines, which
once upon time distressed the innab-

Hartman experts who took over the
control in 1906 were quick to adopt the
New Orleans or loop system, making
Schramm's drug store the base of the
parallelogram and extending in endless
chains to the remote corners of the city.
Rapid transit suburban lines with ten
minute service traverse the rich farm
ing sections between Ogden and Provo
and extend equal facilities to Bingham
and Park City with branches running
into the restful quiet of the many cam
yons.
Mr. Hartman himself became so
enanored of the city and it's environs,
partially because of the beneficial eli
matte conditions and partially in recog-
milton Of the splendid returns on his in
vestments here that he has builded
