A SILENT MOB
Tramp Murderer Lynched With Dis
patch In Colorado.

LAS ANIMALS, Colo, Dec. 29.-Tht
body of Lawrence Iceberg. iynched by
a silent mob here, has been cut down
from the telegraph pole where it was
left hanging, and an inquest Is being
held.
A party of masked men suddenly sur
rounded the Jail, overpowered the sher-
III, secured his keys and lynched a
tramp white man who had murdered a
farmer nea here.
1t is also rumored here that the two
men who killed the city marshal of
Lamar have been caught and lynched.
The killing of Iceberg was accom-
plished with the greatest order and dis
patch. The whole time from the mo.
ment he was taken from his cell to
that when lie was hanged was MOI
more than half an hour. Those who
were witnesses, but not participants,
declare that it was the most orderly
and silent lynching known TO them.
From all appearances the lynchlng
party had been thoroughly organized
long in advance.
With the prisoner in their possession
after being taken from the jail the
mob proceeded quickly to the Santa Fe
railroad tracks and stopped at the near
est telegraph pole. One of the band,
with Il piece of rope loosely tied about
his waist and a poleman's spurs on his
feet, climbed up the pole. put the rope
over the cross arm and brought the
loose end down again. 4 moose was
tied and placed about the prisoners
neck.
The crowd fell back a little way with
the end of the rope stretched back to
them and held by Il score or more of
hands. At the word of command from
the leader the rope was pulled up I'M
til Iceberg was within two or three feet
of the cross arm. 1t was then tied to
u tree near by and the body left swing
ing in the air. Every act was done 81
lently and with great precision.

left him in a weakened condition, and
he did not go again to his office in the
Broad street station.
Mr.. Cassatt was in his sixty-seventh
year. He was born in Allegheny, of
which a~ristocratic city his father was
once mayor, and young Cassatt had
the best educational advantages, part
Of his course being taken in Heidel-
berg, Germany.
Upon the death of the former presi-
dent the Pennsylvania concluded that
it needed Cassatt.
The committee to notify him of his
election found him on the golf links.
At first he refused to accept. Then
Mrs. Cassatt, who, by the way, is a
niece of President James Buchanan,
was induced to use her influence. AS
a result A. J. Cassatt laid aside his
golf sticks, sold his fast horses and
took upon himself the management of
the greatest railroad system on earth.

This daring project made the railroad
men of the country gasp. Yet practi-
cally all of them have already come to
see the wisdom of the move.
Aside from being the head of the
Pennsylvania railroad, Mr.. Cassatt was
president of six other companies and a
director in twenty-three concerns. prin-
cipally transportation companies, banks
and trust companies. His wealth is

Compulsory vaccination Of the school
children at the Peabody and jackson
schools has aroused the ire Of those. OBJ
posed to such methods. A large delega-
t1on waited upon the board Of education
yesterday. The main contention Of the

and hence, under section 21-31 Of the
revised code, the school board had ex-
ceeded its authority in permitting the
health department to vaccinate the
children. IN
This poiont was dwelt upon at some
length by Alderman f. II. Cashier, T..
