France. has made protest to several
diplomatic representatives at PARTS
who telegraphed the minister's COM

ty Mr. Pinchon said that Monsignor
Montagnini had not diplomatic stand
ing; that the papers sequestered at
the nunciature were Z -umportant, the
important documents having been re.
moved previously, and as the French
government had not allowed the papal
nuncio to correspond with the FrerFh
bishops. much less could it permit
Monsignor Montagnini to do so.

F|END|sH MURDER BY TRAMP
Beat Farmer to Death With
Hammer---Friends of Vic
tim Want Revenge.

Las Anlmas, Colo, Dec. 27.-Only a
lack Of determined leader prevent
ed last night mob Of three hundred
men from lynching Lawrence Iceberg,
q tramp who confessed to the brutal
murder of Henry l.avenmeyer, a
ranchman living on Horse Creek,
twelve miles west of Las Animas,
whose head was pounded to pulp with
a hammer and his throat cut.
Guarding Jai to Prevent Removal
of Prisoner.
Friends and neighbors of the mur
dered man are still secretly guarding
the Jail to prevent the removal of
Iceberg from the town. 1t Is be-
lieved that If an attempt us made
another effort to lynch the murderer
will be made. Last night the mob
broke into the Jail but was unable to
break into the steel cell in which
Iceberg was confined. The murderer
has confessed that he drank the
blood of his victim and would have
scalpted him if his knife were not so
dull. 1t is believed by many that
Iceberg Is insane. He set fire to a
haystack because after being fed, a
nights lodging was refused him.
He was arrested by Lavenmeyer,
but managed to get possession of a
hammer and murdered his captor. The
town is still greatly wrought up over
the bloody deed and second assault
on the Jail may be made tonight with
means of breaking into the cell in
which the murderer is confined.
Crime Like That Of a Fiend.
T.eiberg's crime was the work OF
fend. Alightlng from a Santa Fe
freight train yesterday afternoon hear
Robinsns \ tation, near this city, he
q croased the river and secured q meal
from farmer named George Purvis
When Iceberg finished eating he de-
manded lodging, but was refused be-
cause of his abusive language. Lei
berg left the Purvis farm and after
preparing a camp along the river
bank, started back toward Purvis
place, evidently bent on revenge. He
set fire to a haystack belonging to
Henry Lavenmeyer, who took Iceberg
into custody allowing him to ride be-
hind him on his horse
Struck Farmer With Hammer.
When Lavenmeyer dismounted to
open gate at the road entering his
ranch, Iceberg struck him on the
head with hammer, which he found
tied to Lavenmeyer's saddle. The lat
ter fell stunned, and Iceberg beat him
over the head until he became tired.
Iceberg left his victim lying lin the
road and went back to his camp at the
river side. He returned soon after
and with a pocket knife, cut Laven-
meyers throat from ear to ear and
attempted to scalp him. The burn
ing haystack attracted the neighbors
to the scene, who found Lavenmeyer's
dead and mutilated body. A posse
was formed and Iceberg was caught
a mile or two away riding Layen-
meyers horse. He submitted to ar
rest quietly and even boasted OF his
crime, saying that he had drunk the
blood of his victim even. Iceberg was
brought here and lodged in Jail.

MENNONITES TO
ESTANCIA VALLEY
Santa Fe Central to Induce Them to
Settle in New Farming District
still They Come.

-OlIiI IHCJ SO'iiS'
That the Estancia Valley Is rapidly
filling up with good class of settlers
is evidenced by the large numbers of
immigrant outfits hauled to points in
the district over the Santa Fe Cen
tral Railway. Tuesday five carloads
of furniture, farming implements and
live stock arrived from points in Kan
sas and Oklahoma. Three of the cars
were billed to Willard, one to Estan-
cia and the other to Moriarty. AL.
though most of the new settlers who
pre-empted homestead claims are liv-
ing temporarily in makeshift houses
not a few of them have erected sub.
stantial residences. Assistant Cashier
Frank Dibert of the Santa Fe Central
Railway, who is acting also in the ca
pacity of immigration agent for thf
company, has great faith in the fu-
ture of the Estancia Valley. He is
negotiating now with several Men
nonites with the end in view of hav-
ing some of these people immigrate
to that part of New Mexico The
Mennonites settled in the western
part of Kansas about fifteen or twenty
years ago. They brought with them
drought resisting cereals from their
old homes in Russia, and were largely
responsible for converting the barren
Kansas plains into fertile fields, They
built themselves sod houses at first
but now most of them are living in
modern dwellings and have produc
tive farms as the fruits of their thrift
and frugality.

were occupied by negroes who were
not even in sympathy with any Of

Outlaws Will Be Captured if State

"These men will be captured If 1t Is
within the power of the state OF
