MOB IN COLORADO
HANGS MURDERER

PUEBLO, Colo, Dec. 27.-A special
to the Chieftain from Las Animas, Colo.
says: Lawrence Leberg was lynched
here tonight by mob of masked men
for the murder of Henry Lavenmeyer
About forty men entered the Jail short
ly before 9 o'clock and easily over
powered the Sheriff, Under Sheriff and
two other officers and locked them Sc
curely in a room. The men then went
to the cell occupied by Leberg, struck
the shackles from his limbs and took
him from the Jail. A larger body of
men and boys was waiting outside the
walls, and when the prisoner and his
captors appeared they formed a pro-
cession, proceeded a short distance and
hanged Leberg to a telegraph pole.
The murderer made no resistance and
made no statement The mob offered
no violence and no shots were fired
during the entire affair
Before the mob reached the jail Le-
berg heard it coming and awaited
coolly the coming of the avengers of
Lavenmeyer's death. The leader of
the mob made no effort to disguise him
self, and it is declared that the ring
leaders are known to the Jail officials.

UNABLE TO SECURE
CINDERS TO USE
ON NEW TRACK
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. 81.
Owing to difficulty in obtaining Gin
ders Graduate Manager Sales Is
facing a serious problem in the build
ing of Stanford's new track Word
was received from Southern Pacific
offices at Sparks today that no cin-
ders could be had there. and il looks
as If 1t will be impossible to obtain
them, for reasonable price. in this
State The situation Is particularly
serious because cinders must be had
at once in order that they may have
time in which to pack and also to
prevent the washing away of the
foundation of the track. which can
only be stopped by the prompt appli-
cation of the cinders.
The intercollegiate track meet will
be held on the Stanford campus this
spring. as will also the interscholastic
meet for the schoolboys of the State.
so Stanford students are very anxious
that the track should be completed in
time to hold these contests on the new
field Trainer dad" Moulten. who.
because of his long experience with
the building of cinder paths. Is an
authority upon their construction, Is
very pessimistic concerning the
chances of completing the track on
time for the big intercollegiate event.
I'VE must have cinders at once" he
says, in order to give them time in
which to pack 1t doesn't look TO me

of the work done is being spoiled by

The Fallen Leaf handicap, over the
futurity course, the feature of the card
at Emeryville today, will be contested
by small but classy field. The en-
tries include Tony Faust, F.. w. Barr,
Collector Jessup and Lisaro. The ad-
justment of the weights renders the
picking of the probable winner diff
ficult proposition. Tony Faust, Sam
Hildreth's crack colt has been doing
everything that has been asked of
him and may add further to his laurels
by winning. He would probably prefer
a longer route, but can be depended
upon to be right there even at the
distance Collector Jessup is in rare
form and is the most likely looking
contender The distance will exactly
suit him. F. w. Barr has been widely
touted as a grand racehorse, but his
last effort was disappointing. He may
do better today. Lisaro's defeat of
Shot Gun his last out gives him a
chance. Miller will probably be up on
Tony Faust. Graham on f. w. Barr.
Brown on Collector Jessup and Will
liams on Lisaro. 1t will be a horse
race, sure.
There will be number other in
teresting contests on the card, as well.
Twelve selling platers will run six
furlongs in the opener. Hersian looks
a trif1e the best and her chances will
be improved if Miller has the mount,
as seems probable. Marie H and Sea
Lad look like contenders. San Reno,
Miss May Bowdish, Sharp Boy and Joe
Goss have outside chances.
Cheers looms up as the probable win
ner of the second, at seven furlongs,
for two-year- La Rose has been
running good races and promises to be
right there at the finish. Bushthorpe
may prove a factor. Johnny Lyons
but the exercise boy who will be up
saddle
The third will be selling race over
the futurity course. That consistent
performer, Lord Nelson, may add an
other bracket to his already lengthy
string of victories. Banposal is a dan
gerous contender in view of her de-
feat of Sir Russell and st. Francis.
Silver Sue also demands consideration.
Beechwood and Santa Ray have out
side chances. Kuniss was fair per-
former on the northern circuit but has
shown nothing here.
The fifth is an open looking affair.
Twelve selling platers are to go a
mile Ell Chihuahua won his last race
in gallop and may repeat. The Only
Way had speed his last out and may
be expected to improve Cheripe, Pa
ehuca and Yellowstone have outside
chances.
Captain Burnett Anvil and Infiam-
mable figure to finish close together in
the final event of the day. Burnett
has the most speed and may last out.
Rolla and Crigli might wake up. The
distance seems too short for Ray.
