The United States consul at Progreso
says that the fields and gardens of
Yucatan are filled with useful vege-
tables and fragrant herbs unknown to
the outer world. In the cultivated
fields are grown species Of Indian corn,
beans, squashes and tubers for which,
in this country, we have no NAME, be-
cause we have never seen nor heard
of them. In the forests and jungles
grow wild fruits, already excellent in
quality, which could be made delicious
by scientific cultivation. Mr.. Thomp'
son, the consul, AYERS that there are
half a score Of wild fruits which offer
more promising results to cultivation
than ever did the bitter wild almond,
which was the progenitor of the peach.
There are six varieties of Indian corn
/ n Yucatan, and the natives speak of
this plant as "the grace of oGd."-

AWFUL CRIME ALLEGED TO HAVE
FOLLOWED A NIGHT OF DE-
BAUChERY.
WOMAN UNMOVtD BY VERDICT
pER MALE COMPANION PLEADS
GUILTY TO A CHARGE OF
ADULTERY.

Brainerd, Mimi, Dec. 29-Mrs. NyrS
Jane Williams. on trial charged with
killing her child, two and one-half
wears old, was found guilty Of murder
in the first degree.
The penalty for the crime. as de-
fined by the Minnesota statutes, is
hanging.
It took but little longer than three
hours for the jury to reach its con
ciusion.
Mrs. Williams maintained the same
stoical attitude that has bewildered
the lawyers and spectators through
cut the entire proceedings. When the
verdict was pronounced there was not
a change in her expression, and if the
face is a reflection of the inward feel
ing, there was no pain, no remorse
and no shame.
The defendants attorney, A. T.
Larson, gave notice of a motion for
new trial on evidence, and this will be
heard in few days. Mrs. Williams
was led from the court room to the
county Jail, where she will be kept
closely confined.
Mothers Awful Crime.
The crime for which Mrs. Williams
was found guilty was committed on
the morning of Aug. % last. Mrs,
Williams and her little daughter left
the home of the woman's mother-in-
law. Mrs. Adelia Williams, on Friday.
two days before the child was killed.
There had been q quarrel and the
mother felt that she could not return.
Wandering about the streets, homeless
anG despairing, she met friendly po-
liceman. He secured lodgings for her
until the next day. Then she again
started forth with her child in her
aims
While on the streets that Saturday,
she met two men, ohm Burridge and
George Dill. The latter accompanied
the woman, and that night, until 3
o'clock the next morning, he was her
companion at a spot on the river
bank. When the next day broke and
Mrs. Williams appeared on the streets
her child was not with her. She SAID
it had been lost. The
River Was Dragged,
and near the bridge the hooks brought
up the body of the little one. Then
the web of evidence began its spin
ming. From the facts brought forth
it was concluded that Mrs. Williams
had deliberately tossed the child into
the river. To strengthen this belief
evidence revealed that child's voice,
at early dawn was heard pleading
pitifully:
Mamma Don't. mamma. Don't
burt!"
The arrest OF the woman and the
two men followed. Burridge, at the
preliminary examination was released.
An indictment was returned against
Dill, charging adultery. Saturday he
pleaded guilty. Sentence has not yet
been pronounced.

ARoUsEs THE TOWN.
Bold Robbers Make Too Mush Noise
While CRACKING Bank Safe.

South McAlester, Ind. T., Dec. o.
A bold bank robbery attended by a
desperate battle between posse OF
citizens and robbers occurred at
kiowa yesterday, the robbers securing
and destroying about $4,000 which
was in the bank. The thieves gained
entrance to the bank building through
window. The first charge OF nitro
klycerin made no impression on the
safe, but the noise aroused residents
Of the town and soon a posse COM
posed of fifty men was congregated in
the stock yards at the rear of the
bank. A volley of shots was fired at
the building and it was at once re.
turned by the sentinels OF the robbers
sc GREETED outside of the structure. An
almost incessant fire was kept up for
bali an hour, during which the robbers
continued their efforts to open the
ssfe 1t required three discharges to
fCI ce the door. The third
Explosion Was Terrific
and almost completely destroyed the
safe as well as the interior Of the
bank. Paper money was blown into
shreds, large quantities of mutilated
bills being left by the bandits.
After looting the safe the robbers
left the building from the front and
backed off into the darkness, keeping
up a fire on the posse. The men
went In southerly direction and were
followed quite a distance. 1t is said
that one of the robbers was injured.
The bank officials place their mon
etary loss of $4,000. 1t is believed
tlat the bandits made away with only
a small part of this sum, the paper
money being almost altogether de-
stroyed by the explosion. A posse Of
United States marshals is in pursuit
of the robbers.
