LAVENMEYER IS -AVENGED Murderer Calmly Prepares for Death on Hearing Slob Approach. Leader Makes No Attempt at Disguise. PUEBLO, Colo., Dee. 27. A special to the Chieftain from Las Animas, says: Lawrence Leberg was lynched here to night by a mob of masked men for the murder of Henry Lavenmeyer. About 40 men entered the jail shortly before 9 o'clock and easily overpowered the Sheriff, Undersherlff and two other offi cers and locked them securely in a room of the building. 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, formed a pro cession and -went , a short distance from the jail and hanged the man to a tele graph pole. The self-confessed murderer made no resistance and made no state ment. The mob offered no violence and no shots were fired during the entire affair. Before the mob reached the jalt Leberg heard it coming. He arose from his cot, dressed himself coolly and awaited the coming of the avengers of Lavenmeyer's death. , The leader of the mob made no effort to disguise himself and it Is declared that the ringleaders, are known to the jail officials. - FLINGS WOMAN' INTO STREET Insolent Negro Soldier Says Sidewalk Belongs to Him. EL RENO, Okla., Dec. 27. Race feel ing is at white heat and threats of lynching are heard on every hand as a result of an assault committed on Mrs. T. S. Clifford, wife of a prominent physician, this afternoon by a negro soldier of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Mrs. Clifford and her sister, Mrs. S. H. Clarke, were attempting to pass the soldier, when he viciously grabbed MrB. Clifford around the waist and threw her into the street, exclaiming that the sidewalk belonged to him. Mrs. Clarke screamed for assistance, and the assailant fled, escaping before help arrived. News of the attack spread rapidly and the entire police .department, re inforced by several hundred men and boys, searched the town and surround ing country, but this evening the chase was given up, as the negro was in uni form and he must return to the post or soon become a deserter. Word" was sent to Fort Reno and all absentees noted. Both Mrs. Clifford and her sister are positive they can identify the man, and will go to Fort Reno tomorrow and attempt to pick him from the soldiers who were out of the post today when the assault occurred. MURDERED BY HOODLUM MOB Alabama Authorities Indignant at Wahalak Race War. NEW ORLEANS. Dee. 27. That white men protected innocent negroes and that every effort is being made by the whites to punish those "hoodlums" of their own race who were responsible for the Christmas riots in Kemper County, Mississippi, was the informa tion in detailed accounts arriving early today from the little towns which were th scene of the bloodshed. "A conference has been held," these dispatches say, "between the civil and military authorities, at which evidence was produced that will establish the Identity of Ave white men of good fam ilies cf the county who took part in the lynchir.g. District Attorney Cur rie has rraJe a public statement, in which he says: " 'I found upon an Investigation that the trouble was caused by a lot of hoodluns and outlaws who openly vio lated ill laws of God and man and decency. The four men killed Christ mas 'Jay were not connected with the affair in any manner and I am in formej that the houses burned were occupied by negroes who were not evin in sympathy with any of those who were connected with the outrages. These men will be captured if it is in the power of the State of Mississippi to do so." " The dispatches say that the total death list is probably 12; that the mob element among the whites has mostly fled toward the Alabama state line, while negroes in terror have gathered at Scooba, and Wahalak to place them selves under the protection of troops or of citizens. The killing of a negro named Calvin Nicholson Is reported as "one of the most brutal which has oc curred since the days of Reconstruc tion." Nicholson was a. negro of the best class. While a posse was searching for a negro named Simpson, who had killed a deputy, they entered Nichol son's house, and several persons began shooting at him. Deputy Sheriff Alex ander and two others rushed to the negro, shielding htm with their bodies. They protected him until overpowered, after which he was shot and his house burned. District Attorney Currie says he has fixed the blame for this mur der upon three men and will arrest them if they are still in the state. Three companies of the troops left for their homes today, leaving the situation to be taken care of by the ' remaining command. Governor Vardaman left for Jackson this afternoon. He said the whole trouble would be investigated. ' VARDAMAN AFTER MOB CHIEFS Offers Rewards for Arrest of Rioters at Scooba. , MERIDIAN, Miss., Dec. 27.

EIGHT KILLED AND BURNED American Foreman and W7lfe Saved by Timely Arrival of Train, When Indians Flee Troops Run ning Down Bandits. EL PASO, Dec. 27. Details of the Taqui Indian outbreak at Lencho sta tion on the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific Railroad, a branch of the Southern Pacific in Sonora, Mexico, on Saturday night. In which eight Mexi cans were killed and all their bodies burned, have been received here. No Americans were killed, although it is certain that but for the timely arrival of a work train with a large crew of laborers Foreman Thompson and his wife would have been killed. Reports from the same vicinity tell of murders and outrages perpetrated by the Yaquls on Thursday and Friday nights. Tho -victims were all Mexi cans who were taken by surprise on their lonely ranches. Ranchers Flee in Panic. Details of the outbreak are extreme ly meager, but show that the. situation is serious.. For several weeks past restlessness has been observed among the Indians, but an outbreak was hard ly anticipated No unusual prepara tion had been made for. a Yaqui at tack, and most of those killed were Bhot down before any effort at defense could be made. The band of outlaw Indians Is said to number about 100. Rumors of their depredations were rife on Saturday when many ranchers fled to the towns for safety and reported a number of murders in the district southeast of Guaymas. It was not believed, how ever, that the Yaquls would dare to attack a railroad station. Volley Is First Signal. Lencho Is one of the smallest" sta tions on the Cananea, Yaqui River Sc. Pacific Road. About 25 men under Thompson are employed there, en gaged in well-boring. No sentries had been posted, and the first intimation of the attack was a volley of rifle shots fired into the tent houses. Im mediately afterward the houses were set on fire, and by the light of the flames the Yaquls shot at the fright ened Mexicans, who-vere trying to es cape. The reports received here say that, in addition to the eight men killed at the station, a number of Mexicans were wounded. At a time when the residents of -the camp, including Thompson and "nis American wife, seemed doomed, the whistle of a work-train was heard and a few minutes later the train pulled into the station. The crew of the train. Immediately went to the assist ance of the people at the station and the Indians took flight. Troops Pursue Bandits. Mexican troops are now In pursuit of the band and it is believed that the Indians will soon be run down and captured. Soldiers are being rushed to the troubled district in large numbers, as the government Is determined to make short work of this latest out break. It is believed that the out break will not prove general and that the trouble has all been caused by one large renegade band.
