Seven Degrees Recorded by the Thermometer
at Quincy - Gloomy Prospects
for the Future

The late freeze in Florida is still a
fruitful topic of conversation among local
orange growers, because of its influence
on the successful marketing of the South
ern California crop. All the news per-
tanning to the extent of the disaster has
been eagerly devoured here, especially
that coming direct from Florida. The
Floridians themselves are very frank in
talking about the matter and admit that
they have poor show for several seasons
to come.
A Florida fruit buyer now in the city
remarked few days ago that there was
absolutely no chance for crop next sea-
son, as all the young trees were killed and
would have to be replanted, and the ten
der growth of the old trees was completely
destroyed, so that they would not bloom
this year. 1t would take several years, at
least, to recover from the setback the
trees had received. The second frost was
more disastrous than the first, and he
feared that it would take many years to
restore confidence in the country enough
to cause full revival of the orange indus
try.
The following clippings from the Jack
sonville, Florida, Citizen of Saturday,
February 9th, the day after the last severe

received here were not exaggerated

President Harrison played openly into the

OF tho baseness and brutality wrought by

Thus, because justice was nobody's busi-

fight between the bank robbers and the
local authorities occurred here yesterday
afternoon, in which several persons were
shot Officers had been notified 10 watch
for the men who yesterday morning,
robbed the Grswold bank.
Just after dusk. as one of the officers
was patrolling his beat he noticed man
sitting i'm the office of the Kiel hotel who
answered the description telcgrnphed from
Griswold Deputy Sheriff O'BI<'n was
notified and concluded he was one OF the
men hc wanted. and summoned TO bis as
sistancc Deputy Sheriff Hooker and, In
company with Officers Peterson and Ware,
the party entered the Office and invited the
suspect TO jail.
As the five men left the hotel two other
hotel guests rose and followed, keeping
several yards behind. just as they
reached the courthouse O'Brien dropped
behind, telling his prisoner 20 walk in
front. As he did this the two men who
had been following the party commenced
firing at the officers. The officers returned
the fire. The prisoner and the two
strangers separated from the officers,
shooting as they ran.
To the Rescue Of Oficers.
For some minutes the fusilade was kept
mp, citizens and other officers joining in
the battle, which had become general all
along the line. until the desperadoes were
overcome and two of them placed under
arrest and taken TO Jail, where they gave
their names as John Reilly and James
Wilson.
AS soon as they were secure behind the
bars the officers started TO look for the
injured, and in the search they discovered
o. Brien, severely wounded, bullet hav-
ing struck him in the abdomen, enterin z
the body and lodging near the spine.
Riley was hit in the groin, the bullet PEN
trating some two inches
The third man afterward escaped and
fled toward the river, pursued by posse
of citizens, but he managed to elude
them. 1t is thought that he is now in
Omaha and the police of that city have
been notified to be on the lookout for him.
In searching the men, their pockets
yielded large number of postage stamps
and quantity of small change. While
tho shooting was going on, Motorman

cago Police to Solve.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Two children yestcr-
day discovered the> mutilated body Of a
man in lonely locality at Ninety.ffth
street and Western avenue. The body
that of man about 90 years old-was
found in q sitting posture, leaning against
n tree. The hands legs and lower part
of the body was badly burned, deep gashes
were found in the head, and about the
waist were the remnants of a charred rope.
The theory that the man had been tied
and burned to death was Mt first laughed
at by the police officers, but later inves-
legations seemed TO prove either that no
had been murdered and an attempt made
to conceal tho crime by burning the body,
or that he had really been burned at the
stake. That the man could have been
burned TO death was thought hardly prob
able by the police, but the spot where the
body was found is an isolated one on the
prairie and considerable distance from
any dwelling. The man had evidently
been dead for somo time, as the feet had
been gnawed to the bones by dogs.
