BLOOD FLOWS IN FLORIDA.
-Four COrpSes All Ready for the Un-
dGrtaker and Sexton,
While Prospects Are Good for Two
or Three Others-A Bloody Duel
Over the Favors Of a Widow.
Two Men Murdered by Regula.
tors - An Old Mans Assailant
Killed.

Pensacola, Fla, May 11.-Four men
are corpses, two are dying and one is
severely wounded as the result of trage-
dies in the western section of Florida.
Three OF the victims were killed in a
duel about woman, another was stab
bed to the heart by boy whose father
had been attacked, and the two who
are dying were flogged and shot by
regulators.
The duel over the woman was fought
in Calhoun county, near Blountstown.
In that city is the home OF Mrs. John
son. a young widow. Thomas House
and Henry Smith have been rivals for
the favors OF Mrs. Johnson. Several
weeks ago the men fought about tho
woman, and Smith was badly beaten.
Smith vowed to get even, and Friday
he went to Mrs. Johnson's home, ac-
companied by his brother Thomas and
friend George Harrison. The three
men found House and the widow to-
gether. House was ordered to leave.
He rose as if to go, but
quickly drew two pistols and
opened fire. The Smiths and Har-
rison were not slow in getting out their
guns. Then a fearful duel followed in
the room. House shot fast and straight
and in few moments the Smith broth
ers were dead. House fired the last
cartridge at Harrison, the bullet break
ing his arm. Then House drew a knife
and tried to close with his foe, but his
foot slipped in the blood, and before he
could recover himself Harrison shot
him dead. There was a price on Houses
head. he having previously killed two
men. one in South Florida and one in
Alabama.
The second tragedy occurred in Madi-
son county Friday night. A band Of
Whitecappers took Harry Wilson in the
woods and bound him to a tree. Will
son was then shot and the body left
bound to the tree. The victim was
found Saturday morning still alive, but
mortally wounded.
After leaving. the Whitecappers went
to the hcme Of Lucy Murray, took her
16-year-old son to the woods and fog
ged him so that death will occur. The
boys skin was literally cut in strips,
and he was unconscious when found.
The last of this bloody series occurred
at Greenwood, in Jackson county.
Thomas James made a brutal assault
on Samuel Winn, an aged man. Winn
was knocked down. James was pre-
pairing to shoot him. Before James
could pull the trigger, however he was
stabbed to the heart by Frank Winn,
the 16-year-old son of the old man, who
slipped up from the rear.

'9PNNAiA " tllt 5lSltI.
CUMBERLAND, Md, May 11.-Dls-
astrous forest fires are raging along the
line Of the West Virginia Sentral &
Pittsburg railroad, endangering life
and destroying property.
Hundreds of men are battling against
the rapidly spreading flames, but, owing
to the dryness of the timber and a high
wind prevailing. all efforts to subdue
the fires are apparently fruitless.
The village of Pendleton is surround
ed by fire and already three dwellings
have been destroyed and several other
houses have been torn down by the
fire fighters in order to keep the flames
from spreading, and thus save if possi-
bic the balance of the village.
The town of Davis is also surround
ed by fire, and while no property has
been lost as yet, the inhabitants expect
every moment that the flying sharks
from the tail and burning hemlocks
will ignite the town.
The smoke is SO dense that it is not
only impossible to battle against the
fire at that point, but makes it also
impossible for the people to walk on
the streets. Business is suspended.
The loss already sustained along the
line OF the railroad is enormous.
