Has Withdrawn from Defense
of Mrs. Bradley, Other Law
yerS Having Been Engaged.
Especial to The Herald)


Washington. Dec. 26-Judge G. w.
Bartch of Salt Lake City will leave here
tomorrow for his former home in Penn
sylvania, where he will remain for several
weeks before returning to Utah. While
here Judge Bartch has not seen Mrs.
Bradley, or her attorneys, and says he
has made no attempt to see them. To
clear UP misstatements which have been
made concerning the connection of his
firm with the Bradley case, Judge bartch
today made the following statement:
my firm was employed OH the day of
the shooting by relatives and friends OF
Mrs. Bradley to take complete charge of
her defense and TO protect the interests
of her children. We then by wire en-
gagged the firm of Leckie, Fulton q Cox of
this city to take charge of her case here.
The two firms Immediately began careful
preparation for the defense with Mrs.
Bradleys sanction and consent, as was
apparent from various interviews had by
her with the local firm Some days after
such employment and work in her be-
half, III accordance with the advice of
several persons from Utah, temporarily
residing here. who were friends of Sena-
tor Brown, she sent for and employed
other local counsel, who, IL appears, ac-
cepted employment without notice to or
communication with either of the firms
then engaged in the case. Since my ar
rival here / have looked into the situa-
ton and consulted with Messrs. Leckie,
Fulton & Cox, whom we employed, and
have communicated with General Bagley.
The result is that we regarded this action
of Mrs. Bradley in changing counsel ds
wholly unwarranted and ill-advised. and
the manner of acceptance by counsel.

and have so advised those who employed
us and who since Mrs. Bradley's action
i'm the premises have urged US to remain
in charge of the case and Mrs. Bradley
tn accept their views.

Senator Burrows today was called to the
opinion prevailing here that there will be

that it was his intention to force final
action either for or against Smoot before

eighteen votes are needed to order a roll

The train bearing Colonel Maxson

than an hour when the Yaquis de-

escaped by boarding a work train that
pulled in at the time. The train ap-
peared after four of the people had

The bodies of the victims were still
warm when Maxson saw them, and
with the aid of others on the train they
were given hasty burial.
Not many miles along the road the
scene was duplicated. Four more dead
bodies of Mexicans and Americans were
discovered along the tracks. The little
band at this station had been able to
repulse the attack of the Yaquis with
the loss of but four of their number.

gate at the road entering his ranch.
Iceberg struck his on the head with a
hammer which he found tied to Laven-
meyers saddle. The latter fell stunned
and Iceberg beat him over the head uIi-
til he became tired. Iceberg left his
victim lying IN the road and went to
his camp al the river side. He re-
turned soon after and with a pocket
knife cut Lavenmeyer's throat from

Las Animas, Colo, Dec. 26.-After
several hours of diligent effort at
storming the county Jail here, a mob
which gathered after dark for the pur
pose of avenging the death of Henry
Lavenmeyer, a well-known farmer near
here. who was murdered in a most
brutal manned by a tramp, dispersed,
and it is not thought that further at
tempts 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 was met with
stern refusal by the Jail keepers tn
turn over the prisoner. and finally gave
up. When apprehended the murderer
gave his name as Lawrence Iceberg,
and many believe him to be insane.
Fiendish Murder.
Leberg's crime was the work of a
fiend. Alighting from Santa Fe
freight train yesterday afternoon at
Robinson station, near this city, he
crossed the river and secured a meal
from a farmer named George Purvis.
When Iceberg finished eating he de-
manded lodging, but was refused be-
cause of his abusive language. Iceberg
left the Purvis farm and, after prepar-
ing a camp on the river bank, started
back toward Purvis place, evidently
bent on revenge He set fire to a hay
stack belonging to Henry Lavenmeyer,
thinking it was the property of Purvis.

There has been net increase of $50 bank

The county conventions have all been held,
but it is as difficult as it was a month ago
to tell what will be the outcome of the state
convention at Duluth. The vote governor is
split up between seven candidates, of whom
Jacobson is in the lead, but still lacks two
hundred votes of enough to nominate. Con-
tests tor the other Offices have also assumed
considerable Importance The office of secre-
tary of state has attracted small army of can
didates, among whom Schmhl is undoubtedly
in the lead, and who would have easy sailing
but for the feeling that the seventh district
cannot have both governor and secretary of
state. For treasurer, Dnehart, Koerner and
Vogel all have a bunch of friends but Dinehart
has been the worker of the three and work
counts. For clerk of the supreme court Pid-
geon finds his traditional right to second
term contested by young Walter Lemon, of ST.
j. Paul, who has his big county of Ramsey
to do business with. Another contest which
has developed recently is the one between Sam
lverson the present state auditor and Halden of
Duluth, with Arneson, of Grant county, also
entered. Halden has St. Louis county behind
him, and he appears to have Mr.. Iverson's
friends somewhat nervous, but whether the
nervousness is we'll grounded not is hard to
say.
The delegates were elected whole week
before the state convention met most of the

week the sun will shine bright for the political
ztrader, and if he does not make a crop of hay
that will last for two four years, it is his own
fault. The large number of contests would
Certainly appear to make his task easy
If trades are fixed up the Duluth con-
vention will be brief and tame affair, but the
fact that so many different states can be made
up will operate against the fixing of any slate at
all, and tile Duluth convention may be long
drawn out affair.
