CROSSING GATE BROKEN.

The gate constructed by the Iron Mountain at the intersection of that road and the Choctaw track, was run into Friday night by an Iron Mountain engine and almost completely de- molished. When constructed, it was supposed to serve as gate for the Choctaw, except when trains on the latter road were passing, but proved an obstruction as a rule to the Noun tain trains.

Chief Of Whitecappers Suffers Fright ful Death From Explosion Of by namite Intended For Their
 Victim.

Mammoth Springs, Ark, July 4.-- Details have reached here of a fright ful tragedy which occurred at Union, a small village in this county, We'd nesday morning, in which Pink Gib- son, a well-known citizen, was blown to atoms and nine other men more or less seriously injured.
 Several weeks ago number of people living near Union formed gang of white cappers and ever since have been terrorizing the neighbor- hood. Tuesday morning this party, led by Pink Gibson, and numbering about fifteen went to the house of a widow named Guest, and taking her out, severely whipped her. So harsh were the party in their treatment of Mrs. Guest that when they left her place she was in an unconscious con- dition.
 The case as reported is most pe- culiar one. Harvey Sexton received warning that band of whitecappers were to visit his home with the avowed intention of killing him and dynamiting the building. Sexton barricaded the doors and with rifle kept sharp lookout.
 Wednesday morning the alleged whitecappers made their appearance and Sexton fired, the bullet striking Pink Gibson in the stomach and pass ing through a pocket in which a stick of dynamite was carried. Immediate ly there was terrific explosion, and the ground for a number of yards around where Gibson stood was torn up Gibson met instant death, while nine of his companions were more or less injured. The party immediately retreated. Gibson was literally blown to atoms, small portions of his body being found long distances away.

EGZEMAy$
ITCH IS TORTURE,

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
fammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter'
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
