Man, Whom IT'S Alleged, Caused
ma. sss. Minnie Himburg's Troubles.
THE BAN OF 0STRACISM
Placed on Eli Wilkinson of Owosso
Claimed Miss Himburg's Trou
bles Are Deprivins Her of Her
Reason.

Owosso, Mich, June 24-Snce the
examination of Mrs. Eli Wilkinson for
soaring her alleged rival, Minnie Him.
burg, with carbolic acid, there has
been significant reversal of opinion
in the neighborhood where the Will
kinsons and Miss Himburg live. With
out trying to puzzle out whether Miss
Himburg SCARED her own face, or
Mrs. Wilkinson did it, the neighbors
have united in placing the ban of So
cial ostracism on Wilkinson, the man
who, it is alleged, has caused all the
trouble. So pronounced is the senti-
ment against him that he may be
forced to sell his property and move
away.
The startling claim is made by those
who know her best that Miss Himburg,
who was never really very bright, is
gradually becoming insane over her
troubles.
Wilkinson built the house where he
lives before being married, and kept
company with both girls. When Car

to be our home when we are married"
1t is claimed he even consulted with
her over some details of it's construc.
ton.
A fortnight before his marriage, the
Himburg girl claims, he gave her
sum Of money and sent her to Detroit.
She returned with her wedding gown
made, to find the man had been mar
ried on a date which had been set
even while, she says, he deceived her.
When she went to her parents
home, heartbroken, her father turned
her out of doors because the report
had been circulated that she had gone
to Detroit for criminal purpose.
Even then Wilkinson did not leave
the unfortunate girl alone, as the tes-
timony at the examination proved he
met her every few days by appoint
ment, and she could not resist his
Establishments because she loved him.

BURNED AT STAKE.
Mob In Delaware Town Execute a
Negro Murderer.

Wilmington, Del, June ga mob,
led by Virginian, burned a negro
named White at the stake last night
on's line. The victim was just out of
the workhouse and was accused of
having felonously assaulted and
stabbed to death Miss Helen S. Bish.
op, the 17-year-old daughter C. Rev.
DR.. Z. A. Bishop. The crime was COM
mitted last Monday at Prices Corner,
and ever since then there have been
mutterings of lynching the man.
A mob estimated at 1000, men ard
boys, gathered in the neighborhood Of
Prices Corner, four miles from here.
The real leaders were few in numbers
but they did their work well. 1t was
after 10 o'clock when the march to the
workhouse, a mile away, was taken
kp The chief warden and his guards
prepared to defend the man at all
costs.
The guards were brushed aside, and
with the aid of man who knew
White he was quickly found. His cell
door was battered open and the COW.
ering and accused man, begging for
mercy, was dragged from the cell and
the prison. With torches they led the
way, and with 1000 persons following
the negro, he was led to the road and
to almost the very spot where the as.
sault took place. White was given
last chance to speak, and he confessed
to the murder of the girl. A stake
had been arranged by an advance
guard. White was chained to the post
and the dry underbrush, soaked with
OIL was ignited, and the horrible ex-
ecution was on. Shots were fired into
his body and the victim OF the mob
was soon dead.
