wHITECAPS' WORK.


Lewisburg, Tenn, Oct. S.-Fifteen
negroes were wounded, four OF them
fatally, by whitecaps near Caney
Springs, few miles from here, Sat
urday night. Several Of the wound
ed are women, one of whom had her
eyes shot out. Numerous thefts COM
mitted in the Caney Springs Vi
entity recently have greatly aroused
the community and the white
cap organization, it is said, is
the result. Thirty-five negroes were
returning in a body from festival
and were halted at the end OF a
bridge by men wearing masks and
armed with shotguns and pistols.
The name of each negro was demand
ed and upon answering several were
allowed to pass. Finally one, in
stead Of giving his name, fired on his
questioner. The wiretapper fell and
his comrades poured a volley into
the negroes, who fell, leaving the
wounded behind.

Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. Sal Weinig
got the decision over Dan Creedon
in the sixth round of what was to
have been a 20-round bout at the In
ternational Athletic club, Fort Erie,
last night. Creedon looked fat and
much above his best weight, while
Weinig appeared to be trained TO the
minute. Creedon outclassed Weinig
and from the first TO the fifth round
knocked him all over the ring.
Weinig went to his knees several
times to avoid punishment and while
in that position Creedon struck him
light blow. Referee Mcbride de-
clared the blow to be foul and gave
the decision TO Weinig.

her first husband, Fred Schweger,
came the death of two children. The
second husband died suddenly several
years after the wedding and three
children Of this marriage died in rapid
succession. Her last husband, S. A.
Witwer, died last April. In each in
stance death was somewhat sudden
and all were strangely alike. The
prisoner is 40 years Of age and for
merly lived at Middletown, this state.
She has two sons in the Philippines
and sister in n New York asylum.
No conceivable motive for the sus-
pected crimes has been disclosed.
