And THIS IN AMERIGA!.
A Story Which Seems Incredible.
Yet Is Doubtless True.
WAS A DIVINE COMMAND.
Fanatics Lock Ten Heretics In Jail and
Then Bura the Building by Order
of the Judge or Governor
of the Town

New York, Nov. 4-The World con-
tains additional details of the burning
of 10 heretics by the Judge of the Mexi-
can town of Texacapa, which it pub
ished IN a special dispatch from Pacu-
cha. The dispatch says:
AS soon as the news reached Mol
Tango, the principal town in the dis
trict, the municipal president and
minor officials, with an escort of over 60
men armed with rifles, went to Texa-
capa, where they found everybody in
the public square executing grotesque
dances of honor of the Virgin of Guada-
loupe around the ruins of the jail, a
small building, soljdly constructed,
close to the parish church.
In this Jail previous to Saturday had
been confined Nicolas Hernandez. Mar
tin Santiago, Jose Manuel, Casper Her
nandez, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas sec
OMd, Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena,
Maria Conception and infant child.
They had been rudely hustled from their
homes at dead of night on the extraor.

town judge that their lives were an evil
in the sight of God, and that they were
enemies of the faith and heretics whom

The auxiliary judge related this with
the utmost sangfroid to the authorities.
lie added that God had wrought aston
ishing miracles to confirm what the
saint had told him in the vision.
Said the judge: II obeyed the divine
command and ordered out my algui-
Giles (constables), and we took these
sinners from their beds and dragged
them, in the darkness of night, weep
ing and wailing. to the jail. When
they were locked securely in ordered
the alguiciles to set the building on
fire."
Twenty arrests were made, although
the fanatical mob threatened death to
the authorities. The prisoners. secure

where judicial investigation will take

the auxiliary judge was commissi 1ned
by the Almighty and the saints to de-
stroy tho evildoers. They point to the
pile of bones, ON which they profess to
see miraculously traced outline forms
of the saints who, ON advising the
judge to burn the heretics. left their
images. The community is nothing
but an open air madhouse.

4 MOB SEEKS RETRIBUTION.
IF CAPTURED THOMAS WILL LIKE
LY BE LYNCHED.
His Crime was Deliberate and Most
Brutal-Daring Escape Into
Kentucky.

Near the line between the coun-
ties of Alingo and Lincoln lives
Samuel Crabtree, an industrious
farmer with his wife and several
children Yesterday afternoon
while Crabtree was away from
home Harvey Thompson, who
lives near by, made his appearance
and with a cooked Winchester
rifle demanded that Mrs. Crabtree
leave the house. The terrified
woman was forced out. Then
Thomas assaulted her ten year old
daughter.
Mrs. Crabtreo ran to the house OF
her nearest neighbor and gave the
alarm, when she and several men
returned to her home Thompson
was still in the house. The little
girl was in a dying condition.
Thompson kept the crowd back
with his Winchester and hastily
left going toward Tug river.
Farmers in that section were at
once notified and a large posse was
formed. They are now in pursuit
of Thompson. If captured he
will probably be lynched. 1t
is claimed that he crossed the
river into Kentucky, and it is re
ported his pursurers have extended
their search into that state. Sher-
iff Keadle, who was in Huntington,
to- day, stated that the crime was
one of the most horrible and brutal
ones which ever occurred i'm his
section. The Sheriff is much exer-
cised over the affair and is determ-
ined that Thompson shall not es-
cape. The unfortunate little girl
may recover, but it is extremely
doubtful. Huntington Advertiser,
Saturday.

"Going iuto decline. How
often do we hear this expression.
What does it mean? 1t means that
people are losing flesh, growing
thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition
is to improve the digestion. The
condition arises from an inability to
eat and digest food. In fact food
does more harm than good because
it ferments and putrities in the
stomach, developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause
various disorders.
What is required is that the stom-
ach be made to perform its duties
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is a
food already d gested and digester
of foods as well. 1t will make the
