BENT COUNTY MURDER.
Crime That Led to Las Animas Lynch
inQ.


Las Animas, Colo. Before the
lynching Of Leberg Thursday night
there came stories about Leberg
which made feeling more bitter. Iceberg
had been employed as a grader on the
Fort Lyon storage canal and few
days ago attempted to kill another
man with a 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 5urly
and threatened to make trouble. He de-
manded lodging, but Purvis was afraid
to have the man in the house.
He offered Leberg blankets and
place to sleep in the barn, but this did
not satisfy him, and he went away
muttering. Later he built 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 Iceberg secured from
the saddle of the victims horse. Not
satisfied that he had killed his victim,
Iceberg went back and securing a 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 Lanvenmeyer.
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. 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.

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because Of its impurity; therefore. the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy SO good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
Of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

YAoUi MURDERS.
Story Of the Massacre in Sonora,
Mexico,


Los Angeles.-Col. H. 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 & 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 IN the little party of Mex'cans
and Americans and butchered foar.
Station Agent Thompson ard his wife
escaped by boarding a work train tina,
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 train appeared the Indians
withdrew.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee
is drug can be required than to note
how the nerves become unstrung in
women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An la. woman tells the old story
thus:
Il had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, nervous
ness and dizziness. In the morning
upon rising used to belch up a sour
fluid regularly.
Often l got SO nervous and miser-
able l would cry without the least rea-
son, and l noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
After using Postum a while. I OBJ
served the headaches left me and soon
the belching OF sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). 1 feel de-
cidedly different now, and 1 am con-
vinced that 1T is because 1 stopped
conee and began to use Postum. l can
see better now, my eyes are stronger.
"A friend of mine did not like
Postum but when told her to make it
like 1t said on the package, she liked
1t all right" Name given by Postum

Peru Claims kurokI.

Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish. Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette. of Lima. Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
1t, that Kuroki's father was Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
Charroqui. 1t is also declared that
the generals father was a descendant
of the Incas. who themselves are be-
lieyed to have been descendants of an
As:atic race. SO Kuroki is an atavism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

Master Of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister Of
war, is a sort OF Admiral Crichton,
for, besides wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian,
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge Of language is not common
with Frenchmen, even those of educa-
ton, but Gen. Picquart's facility is ex-
planned, perhaps: by the fact thaat he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have
long been noted in France for the
readiness witk which they acquire
languages.

received was one of three young pigs
which a Worcestershire farmer sent
