LERERe's BAD RECORD.
Had Been in Prison and in Utah Insane
Asylum.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The records of
the county jail show that Lars Iceberg,
young Swede. was sentenced to a
ninety-day term September 9th for as
sault on the person of Tom Gallagher,
section foreman.
Iceberg had worked few days-end
when discharged by Gallagher de-
manded his money. When told to re-
port at the company's Office in Cripple
Creek, he knocked Gallagher down and
then, arming himself with a shovel,
marched Gallagher to the depot.
A warrant was sworn out, and Le-
berg, when found that evening by Con-
stable Weak, assaulted and severely
kicked that officer. He was overpow
cred after hard fight, in which two
police officers and two constables took
part. Revolvers were used to beat Le-
berg into submission. and the police Of
ficers were suspended pending investi-
CATION by the Fire and Police Board as
to alleged cruelty. They were fully ex-
onerated.
In the county Jail Leberg, morose
and threatening at times, was found to
be a moral pervert and was Stunned
and feared by his Jail associates. One
day when in communicative mood
that he had been recently brought from
the Utah State Insane Asylum at
Provo, where he had been confined. tc
Leadyille by warden of the Utah asy-
lum, who turned his adrift on arrival
in that city. Leberg at the time was
believed to be lying. His discarded
coarse underwear, marked in plain
characters Iceberg" was to be seen at
the jail this morning.
Iceberg was released when his time
expired, December 7th, and all trace of
him was then lost. The name and de-
scription of the man as enrolled on the
jail records is as follows:
Lars Iceberg, aged twenty-two:
height, five feet nine inches; light COM
plexion, smooth face; nationality.
Swede; convicted September 9th, as
sault; time, ninety days; discharged

BENT COUNTY MURDER.
Crime That Led to Las Aninnas Lynch
ino


Las Animas, Colo. = Before the
Iynching Of Iceberg Thursday night
there came stories about Leberg
which made feeling more bitter. Leberg
had been employed as grader on the
Fort Lyon storage canal and a few
days ago attempted to XIII 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 Leberg
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 a
place TO sleep in the barn, but this did
not satisfy him. and he went away
muttering. Later he built a 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 tie farmer with the
hammer which Iceberg 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
that he had killed great land owner
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 Lanyenmeyer.
When Sheriff Brown questioned Le-
berg, the prisoner told the officer that
he had drank of the blood of his vic
tim. To the sheriff, toe, 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.

DENVER Markets

Denver Union Stock Yards.-With
an abnormalIy light supply Of cattle at
all markets last week and a demand
rather better than the trade looked for
market conditions improved materially
and prices closed higher. Beef cattle
were especially in demand and market
in good shape. Steers were scarce and
more could have been used. Several
loads of pulp-fed cows were marketed
from northern Colorado. best selling at
$3.25 to 1885. Some choice Wyoming
range COWS brought $3.50, and few
odds and ends landed during the week
at $3.50 to s3.25. Medium to common
COWS sold all the way from $3.50 down
to $1.75. Bulls were active and firm
and veals a little higher with tops
quotable up to $500. Feeder and
stocker supply was light and trade
quiet. Country buyers were scarce,
but dealers had place for everything
and paid good prices for all desirable
steers. Market on the whole is in nice
shape and dealers here are looking for
a very good demand this week.
The hog supply was very limited last
week and demand strong with prices
well maintained. Tops are now selling
at S6.25 and the range down TO S6.171a.
The sheep market was very quiet
and the trade light. Demand and sup
ply was light and hardly enough stuff
here to. test the strength of the mar
ket. Indications point to very good
demand next week.

French View Of Marriage.

The French, guided by reason. as
they would say. regard the institution
of matrimony as a rational regulation
of the fact OF sex, as a compromise
between the rights of the individual
and the rights of society. The man
obeys, but under protest; he is will
ing to sacrifice his liberty SO far. but,
beyond that point. he regards self
abnegation as fanatical asceticism-

The chief wealth of the forests of
Java, at the present time, consists in
the wood of the teak tree. which is
extensively employed for naval con
struction. The trees are ordinarily
cut when they have attained an age
of about so years and a height of be-
tween 60 and 20 feet The species
most esteemed has wood of a brown
color possessing greasy feeling to
the touch. Since 1880 the teak has
been cultivated, and the cutting of
the trees has been regulated by the
Dutch government. A peculiar fea.
ture of the cutting. designed to cause
the wood to part slowly with its sap.
consists in the girdling of the trunks
short distance above the ground two
years before the trees are felled The
timber is exported to all parts of Eu-
rope.

Cold in ENGLAND.

London.-Christmas of 1906 will be
memorable for the heaviest snowstorm
the United Kingdom has experienced
in many years. In the northern coun-
ties of England and in Scotland the
snow was accompanied by great gales.
There was an average fall of from four
to six inches. which under heavy gales
drifted badly and worked serious him
drance to locomotion of all kinds and
inconvenience to the holiday-makers.
There were many small wrecks along
the coast, but no serious loss of life is
reported. The crews of nearly all the
wrecked vessels were rescued by life
boats.

Where Some Writers Fail.

The most frequent defect in fiction
submitted for magazine use and, we
might add. in most of the fiction that
somehow gets published in book form,
lis its lack of spontareity in construc-
luon and expression, says Harper's IS
Magazine. The writer of this manu-.
factuIed fiction has a certain precalcu-
lated effect in view. with reference to
which he ambitiously contrives every
incident and situation of his story.
The harder he tries the more surely
he fails of any genuine appeal to his
readers. II he DISCUSSES his labor by
a facile mastery of dramatic material
and expression, he may succeed in
reaching crude sensibilities and. be.
cause of his lower aim, may outsell
his betters. The multitude is easily
captivated by splendid artifice. which.
in exceptional instances. has com
PEELED the admiration of even the ju-
dicious. We shall find. however, upon
close examination. that in such in
stances the writer has not, by his
strenuous effort, wholly closed the
door against all spontaneity. In
our day polite literature must appeal
to human sympathies, and the
writer's fertility of invention is of
little service.

YAoUI MURDERS.
story Of the Massacre In Sonora,
Mexico.

mC&iCO.
Los Angeles.-Col. II. B. Maxson,
vice president of the National Irriga-
ton Congress, and secretary of the
Board of Education at Reno, Nevada,
who has been spending the last few
weeks in the state of Sonora, arrived
in Los Angeles Wednesday with a
graphic story of the massacre of Mex
leans and whites which occurred at
the little station of Lancho, on the
Cananea, Yaqui River &c Pacific rail-
road late Saturday afternoon.
According to the statement of Max
son, his train stopped an hour at Lam
cho. While there, rumors were re-
ceived that the Yaquis were upon the
warpath, and that the few people in
the neighborhood of the station and
railroad were In danger. The station
MASTER man named Thompson, be-
Titled the matter and he said he and
his wife would remain at their post.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party had not left the station more
than an hour when the Yaquis de-
scended TN the little party of Mex'cans
and Americans and butchered foar.
Station Agent Thompson ard his wife
escaped by boarding work train that
pulled in at the time. The train ap-
peared after four of the people had
been killed, and Thompson and his
wife had defended themselves back of
the barricaded doors of the station AS
the work tyain appeared the Indians
withdrew.

ehastIy Facts About Lynohins.

No one can look at one of the pho
tographs of a lynching without a
sense of abysmal horror. 1t is not the
horror alone or chiefly of the thing
itself. the ugly, inanimate center OF
the tragedy. 1t is the faces of the
spectators that shock our very souls.
They are always laughing faces. Good
nature. even jollity, seems to be the
note of these gatherings. Always we
see the faces of little boys grinning
cheerfully toward the camera. There
are women sometimes in the crowd,
and sometimes little girls. There is
no sign In these pictures of horror of
death. even of grim satisfaction over
a difficult and obnoxious task per-
formed by necessity. The man who
called 1t ''lynching bee" appreciated
the true feelings of the lynchers.
Leave out the grim wreck in the cen
ter, and the picture might be taken
for an ordinary cheerful gathering at
n country fair. Leave it in, says a
writer in American Magazine, and,
oh. my brothers! it is not the dead,
but the living that terrifies.
