Sumter Mines Resume

The Sumter mines owned, by the Ten nessee company, went into operation again yesterday, after being shut down for more than a month on account of the extensive repairs which were necessitated by the burning of the mine buildings more than a month ago. A great deal of new machinery had to be put in, and for this reason 1t is very much like opening new mine. Yes- terday's output was only about two or three hundred tons, but before the end of the week it is expected that the mine will be turning out coal at It's full capacity, about seven hundred tons day.

STOMACH PUMPS IN DEMAND

L.ttIe Rock, Ark, January 16.-There is intense excitement in Baxter county over a series of sudden and mysterious deaths which have occurred in the vicinity of Mountain Home, the county seat, within the last few days. No less than six men, all of whom were apparently in robust heal3h, have been suddenly stricken and died within very short time after the att tack In every case there were unmis- takable symptoms of poisoning. Besides those who have died, a number of others have suddenly become violently i'll and their lives saved only by prompt medical attend ance. The physicians have been kept busy working with stomach pumps and the de- mand at the local drug store for poison an- tidote has been enormous.
 Last week four men died in different places in almost exactly the same manner, showing the same symptoms. One of these men was farmer named Hogan and the other Dr. Simpson, physician at Mountain Home.
 Hotel Proprietor Dead
 The names of the other two are not ob- tainable here. On Friday D, L. Hayes, proprietor of a hotel at Buffalo and owner of extensive mines, died in the same sud- den and mysterious manner. few miles away John Tout, prominent citlzen' passed away at the same time and under similar circumstances.
 Suddenly they grew faint, their races turned deathly pale, the legs weakened un- der them and they fell to the ground and in a few moments they were dead
 Some men become so frightened that they refused to eat or drink, anything until they were out of the neighborhood. Hardly a day-pa ssed for more than week which has failed to bring to light it's new case or poisoning, and the physicians have kept their horses standing saddled in their stables expecting emergency calls at any hour.
 Had Drunk whislsey
 An investigation revealed the fact that Hayes and Fout as well as one or two others who had died in similar manner, had been attacked shortly after visiting Mountain Home. Other victims had >also been seen in Mountain Home just prior to their sudden illness. On further investiga- tion it developed that the victims had in all cases taken drink of whisky shortly be- fore the attack. This discovery seemed to settle the fact that poisonous whisky was the cause of the deaths, but there is no saloon at Mountain Home, and the source from which the whisky comes is a mystery. It is thought that "blind tiger' is dis pensing poison for whisky, but whether it be through ignorance or with murderous intent is not known, and this doubt has 1@A4fI tot. ing a small quantity has been sent to St. | Louis for an expert examination by a | chemist.

BUYING RUBBER LANDS.

New York. Jan. Another trust, with
$4,000. .Oo0 capital, was organized yester-
day under the laws of Virginia, with DOW
er 10 purchase rubber lands and oonces
sions in foreign countries. II is known as
the Exploration Company of the Amazon
(Compania Exploradora de Amazonas).
This company is understood to be formed
in the interest of the United States Rubber
Company and the new s35, 900, 600 mechan
ical rubber trust which is in process of
formation. and which will act IN harlcony
with the old trust and will be in meas
ure controlled by the same interests.
Plans of the great triple combination
were related couple of weeks ago. II was
stated that the purpose was TO simplify and
strengthen the situation by getting con-
troll of the sources of the rubber supply
and debating prices. Ii is calculated that
this can be readily done since the inter
ests back of the two trusts handle large
majority of the worlds output of crude
rubber.
