BENT COUNTY MURDER.
Crime That Led to Las Animas Lynch

tUAs
Las Animas, Colo. = Before the
lynching Of Iceberg Thursday night
there came stories about Iceberg
which made feeling more bitter. Iceberg
had been employed as grader on the
Fort Lyon storage canal and few
days ago attempted to kill another
man with crowbar. So incensed were
the men working in the camp at his
actions at that time that he was
driven out and told never to return.
Then came the stories from the
ranch Of George Purvis, where Iceberg
ate supper the night Of the murder. Le-
berg went into the home of Purvis,
where he demanded and was given sup
per. While at the table he was surly
and threatened to make trouble. He de.
manded lodging, but Purvis was afraid
to have the man In the house.
He offered Iceberg blankets and n
place to sleep in the barn, but this did
not satisfy him, and he went away
muttering. Later he built n camp fire
on the bank OF the river, and then he
came back and set fire to haystack
which he thought belonged to Purvis
to get revenge.
The haystack that he fired belonged
to Lanvenmeyer, and the arrest of Le'
berg by him was followed by the un-
provoked killing of the farmer with the
hammer which Leberg secured from
the saddle OF the victims horse. Not
satisfied that he had killed his victim
Iceberg went back and securing knife
from the victims pocket, almost
hacked his head off. He then took $50
In money and gold watch and chain
from the person Of the man he had
| murdered, and rode away on his vic
Tins horse.
When he was captured he expressed
no remore for his act and even boasted
who refused to give him a place to
| sleep.
Then came one more detail that
added to the horror of the crime and
the fury OF the men who sought to
avenge the murder Of Lanvenmeyer.
When Sheriff Brown questioned lie
berg. the prisoner told the officer that
he had drank OF the blood of his vic
| tim. To the sheriff, too, he openely
boasted that he had killed man who
would not give him OF what he had
He said he was an anarchist and that
the land owners ought to be killed.
All OF these things the mob knew
and knowing them. It did not pause
until the perpetrator OF the most re
voting crime ever known In the Ar
kansas valley was dead.

Hay Crop not Destroyed.

Hon Geo. K. Atkinson returned yesterday on the Burro from his ranch at Calabasas He stated that the re- ports which had been sent out to the effect that the hay crop of tho ranch men in the vicinity of Calabasas had been destroyed was erroneous.
 The reports were due to the fact chat about two weeks ago a heavy ram fell just after hay had been cut. The rancdmen, however, were equal to the occasion and managed to save their hay.
 Mir. Atkinson had a large hay shed on his ranch which will hold 200 tons of baled hay. He will fill this shed and will keep much of his hay until next winter, when it is predicted the price will be considerably advanced over what it is an present.
 Conditions generally throughout Santa Cruz county are excellent. Mir Ackinson stated, in both the mining and the cattle industry. The mining districts of Santa Cruz county are gradually coming to the front and much development work is going on there.-Star.
