SUPPOSED MURDER FOR MONEY
Three Hundred Excited Men at Samp-
sci,
With Four Men and Three Women
in Charge Threatened Lynch
inc

Last Sunday, young man by tn,
name of Humphreys, residing in
Mooresville township, this county, went
across the river to the Moody place in
Sampsel township to see Il young lady.
He left his horse on the South side Of
the river and crossed in skin. Monday
his horse still remained hitched there
and the young man was missing. The
skiif was found loose in the river.
There were some movers camped there
at the ferry, who on Thursday moved
their camp to about two miles north Of
Sampsel. Suspicion OF foul play was
aroused by these facts and circum-
stances pointed to the movers. Yester-
day wednesday, the citizens of Samp-
sci and Mooresville townships were as
sembled at Sampscl and had the movers
in charge, whom they took back to the
ferry A rumor prevails that little
girl with the movers said that they
robbed the young man and then drown
ed him. Threats Of lynching were free
ly made, we understand, in case it was
developed that the young man had been
murdered. .....
Humphreys brother was at Sampsel
yesterday, joining in the search. His
brother, he says, had watch and $3.50
on his person.
We have been unable to see any one
from the scene, hut the above are the
facts as told to one of the county Of
lirinlS.

A reporter of the CRISIS called at S.
A. Stones establishment, yesterday,
and found Mr.. Stone very busy re-
ceiving and opening his new purchase
of goods. Already his two rooms pre-
sent an appearance that makes both the
young and old beholders' eyes sparkle
with delight. He showed us around
and priced number of articles to us,
and we found his goods excellent and
remarkably cheap. His display of Chi
ma and wax dolls is large and fine; we
noticed great stack Of them, the
choice being but dollar. In n
few days he will light both rooms with
fourteen Of the improved Electric
Lamps equal to 700 candle light. He

LEPRosY IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Awful Secret of a Mountain Cabin in
California.

A III AlN
San Francisco Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.
Twice in the history of California leper colo
MES have existed here, and have been destroyed
by immediate action of the authorities, the Chi
nese and Hawaiians composing them being re-
turned to their own countries. AT the present
time, however, the Pacific coast is alarmed over
the existence Of a number of incurable lepers,
some of them whites, and q leper hospital with
about thirty patients has been established. Thus
a leper quarter at last become as much a San
Francisco sight as the Chinese quarter. The
most dangerous source of contagion is un-
doubtedly Hawaiian, for in that group of islands
the best medical authorities declare that two
per cent of the natives are infected. There lies
the awful leprosy isle of Molokai, the most hor-
rible, fascinating and Dantesque sight to be wit
messed in the world. The true story of the
Hawaiian savage life that developed leprosy on
these islands can never be told to civilized ears.
1t is enough to say that centuries of debauchery
corrupted the blood Of the race, and in its para
disc is the sting of the serpent leprosy.
The saddest case of leprosy on the Pacific
coast came under my observation about ten
years ago. Leaving a log cabin school-house in
San Louis Obispo county, where 1 had taught
barefooted mountain girls and sturdy young
vaqueros through the summer months, / saddled
my wild brown broncho for a ride northward
through the passes of the hills to the old stage
road. / was careless and absolutely guileless of
woodcraft, SO it is little wonder that l lost my
way before nightfall.
So when, late in the afternoon, / rode into a
narrow rav1ne and found signs of occupancy,
great was my rejoicing. There seemed to be q
narrow path trodden in the tall, dry wild oats,
leading to a spring set low in the bank, and a
little further. in an open space, at the head Of
the gulch. with cliffs behind it, was a rude cab
in. Something about it thrilled me with a
strange feeling of dread There was a curious,
sickening odor that came from it on the
breeze, and startled me into wondering
whether anyone lay there dying Of fever
or disease. / know now what hat odor
was, but | did not then. A great live-oak tree
stood bv the path near the spring, and, as l rode
past it. / saw a board nailed to 1t, and on that
board rudely painted in weak and wayering let
tiers was the sentence: For Gods sake, come
no ~nearerln did not understand it. / do now.
thought a moment, slowly; | was young and
foolish; 1 rode on past the sentence, ready to
turn and gallop of at any sign of danger. On
the slope of the canyon a rod Of garden lay, brush
fenced and watered; quail traps were piled by
the door; this hermit had food in abundance. A
harsh, cracked voice called out to me from the
cabin door, a hand projecting closedit, and then,

in one pocket.

speaking through the c~revice, I heard, in good
English, words like these: ''You must go away;
it is death to stay here. 1 am accursed. The
air is poison l asked the way. 'Climb that
mountain, " he cried. go, go at once The
words were spoken with intense earnestness,
and with an Undesirable quality Of superhu-
man agony, if the phrase may be pardoned. For
hours after | had left the place / kept finding
new meanings in that harsh, painful cry.

the hereafter to reveal.
Five years later a local journal mentioned the
fact that a cabin had been found in the mount
ans, at the head waters of the Naciemiento,
and in it a mans skeleton lay. Some refugee
from justice, it was thought, had persisted at his
own hands there, or died of disease. / met one

Experiences of a Reporter for an Illustrated

4 dBCEs
Gertrude Garrison, in Pittsburg Dispatch.
Somehow the people never considered the pho
tographer as dangerous as a reporter. Although
they knew him to be employed by a newspaper,
as long as he made no use of a l~ead-pencil they
talked freely to him, and told him things they
wouldn't have told a reporter for the world. He
Immediately carried all contraband information
to the office, where it was instantly worked up
into exciting reading. In this way many a Gu
rlouS piece OF news found its way to the greedy
ears OF the public, while the unsuspecting souls
who first let it escape wondered nine and ninety
drys how it got OUT
1t was through this ungarded channel that
Judge Hiltons famous remark in regard to
Stewards working -woman's hotel, which was so
much commented upon by the press, found its
way to the public. The photographer went to
take some views of the rooms. Judge Hilton
showed him around. One of the first rooms eX-
hibited struck the picture taker as being rather
we'll furnished, and he volunteered the remark
that 1T was "a mighty fine room for a working
girl" Young man, " said Judge Hilton, rather
sternly, this place is not intended for working
girls" This exceedingly indiscreet speech was
the text of hundreds Of editorials, and doubtless
did its share toward making the Stewart Hotela
failure, 1t is true that for every idle word we
are brought into judgment.
At Greystone the photographer saw too much.
He went to take interior views of the splendid
dwelllng-house of the great politician. Mr..
Andrew u. Green showed him such rooms as he

terprising journalistic photographer. But this
privilege was denied him, He wasn't even per-
united to see it. At length, when left to his own
resources for a short time, he strolled down to
the other end of the veranda, and, glancing
through the open window, saw Nj. Tilden in his
study, IN an attitude indicative of such physical
teebleness that ne was surprised and shocked.
On telling his experience to the editors of the
Graphic, who had been stanchily advocating
1ll06OS claims to n nomination for the nTasi-
dency, they at once changed the policy of the

mission to Munich he met the Doctor. who put

was particularly insisted on, drink no liquor at
meals nor until two hours and a half afterwards,
when the process of digestion had been COM
pleted. Schwenninger drives his carriage in
Berlin now, and charges 100 marks for a con
