tributed to the Sympathizera with n Mob.
DALLAS. Tex. July 16.-Two daughters OF
Mrs. John Moore. u widow. were poisoned and
died on Friday last In the trans cedar region OF
Henderson county. 1t Is asserted that the
crime Is sequel to the lynching OF the three
Humphreys In the same region on the night of
May %. and over which preliminary trials we're
had at Athens against ten men now In Jail at
that place. The wild character OF the county
has prevented details reaching Dallas earlier
than to-day. The children poisoned were aged
and 10 years. Their mother Is one Of the
principal witnesses relied on by the State for a
prosecution OF the alleged lynchers OF the
Hum phreys.
The Moore family lived on the Parmalee
ranch In the Mallard prairie community OF the
trans-cedar district about midway between
the villages OF Alley and MalakoY The ranch
is under the control OF J. W jenkins. and Is
about Ave miles from the place where the
Humphreys lynchings took place. Mrs. Moore
and her children were sick and sent for medi-
cine. The poison. 1t is charged. was prepared
for the mother but she did not take any OF 1t,
and gave IL to the two girls resulting in death.
An autopsy was held yesterday by DR.. John
X. Webster and other physicians OF NAL
akoff Poison was found in the stom-
achs. which were preserved and are UNI
dergoing further analytical examination.
Allen jenkins. son OF J. W. jenkins. was ar
rested by Sheriff Richardson and Ranger Odds
on an affidavit charging him with being a
party to the murder Of the two little girls
jenkins Is "a years old. He has been placed in
the Athens jail Sheriff Richardson and Ranger
Odds left for Mallard Prairie to continue the
Investigation. and it is believed that another

CHICAGUs NYMPHs RUINED.
yandnls Mutilntc the Fountain Erected on
the Lake Front.

CHICAGO. July 1e.-Vandals have practically
ruined Chicagos famous Nymphs Fountain"
erected by local artists. on the lake front. Just
south Of the Art Institute. The discovery was
made to- day that probably some time last night
nearly every figure in the fountain had been
mutilated. The material used in tho construc-
tion OF the nymphs is staff. hardened 80 as
to resist the action OF water. and in appear
ance it Is much like marble. Many OF the
nymrhs had their hands and some their arms
broken off. while in the bodies Of others holes
had been punched. making them unsightly OBJ
jects. There is no clue to the perpetrators OF
the outrage. 1t is not probable that the figures
will be restored. and it is thought that the
South Park Commissioners will order the re-
moval OF the fountain.

District ATTORNEY Stripping received telegram
from Attorney Genera, Gri2gs that report had
been made TO his department that efforts would
be made to start flibustering expeditions from
Florida for Honduras. Guatemala and Mica
ragua Tho District Attorney at once tclc-
graphed all officers at the southern ports OF
the state to be on the alert and to send full in
formation OF anything in tho least suspicious
or tending to show that any such attempts
were to be made.
1t is alleged that the Consuls OF these coun-
tries have made representations that Florida
and Cuban ports were to be made starting
points for such expeditions. The officers here
DO not think that the reports have any fouuda-
ton.
The vague and indefinite nature Of the in

officials in the South can work. although cner-
getic efforts will be made to trace to their
sources all clues that may be brought to their

friends on a chartered tugpoat. All OF them
prepared for a swim. and Mcnamara was the
first to go into the water. He went down n
ladder at the end of the pier. where there was a
strong current and an ebb tide. The water
was about eight feet deep. Mcnamara evil
IDENTITY did not know that. Tor soon us he
struck the water and was swept away from the
pier he yelled: 80 can't swim" None OF the
men in bathing suits made any attempt to
rescue him.
One man who was fully dressed jumped in.
but the current was too strong for him to do
ANYTHING to help Mcnamara.
There is no lfe-saver at the pier. McNa-
maras body was recovered by two men em-
ployed there.
