CONTRACTED BLOOD POISON
Coroner O'Gormnn, of New York
Contracted Blood Poison While
Handling sIocum Dead.

New York, June 25.-Coroner O'Gor-
man, who has handled most of the
bodies recovered from the Slocum dis
aster, has contracted blood poisoning.
He pricked a finger on the right hand
while removing a breast pin from one
of the bodies last Sunday, although he
wore rubber gloves. Within a short
time the finger began to swell and the
poison spread rapidly. The usual
treatment has thus far failed to check
the spread, and anti-toxin probably
will be injected into the coroner's arm.

Webster Flend Lynehed.

Captured last week for assault on
three girls, Bud Simpson, alias
Startling Dunham, a negro, was torn
from the deputies who brought him
TO Eupora and lynched by a mob of
outraged citizens, and the lynehing
was made gala event.
The crime of which Simpson was
guilty was one of the most atrocious
ever committed in the State. Two
weeks ago he suddenly appeared in
the doorway of wealthy farmers
home, few miles from Eupora,
and rushing upon the three daugh-
ters, who were alone in the house,
clutched one and striking her half
unconscious, committed an assault.
One of the other two girls rushed
out for help, while the third seizing
shotgdn, sought to shoot the fiend,
but the gun missed fire. AS the
girl rushed upon him with the shot
gun dubbed to strike, Simpson
knocked her senseless and succeed
ed in committing a second assault.
Then he fled
Citizens from every part of the
county took up the search for the
fiend, and posses had been searching
the vicinity daily since, armed with
guns and led by bloodhounds.
Simpson was captured near Car
rollton. For fear of a lynching he
was kept in jail there for day, but
the officers thinking the excitement
over the crime had subsided, and
that the law would be permitted to
take its course, decided to return
Simpson to Eupora for trial.
When the train arrived at that
place with the fend in charge Of
three deputies, it was met by mob
of nearly 200 quiet but determined
men. As the negro was led from
the train the mob swooped down
upon him and despite the resistance
of the officers he was torn from
them and dragged to tire less than
two rods away. A moose was quick
" fastened about his neck, and
fftv hands clutched the free end
of the rope and jerked the body up
ward, while the rest of the crowd
cheered or riddled the corpse with
bullets.

Favorable for Farm Work.

Last weeks bulletin of the
weather and crop bureau has the
following 10 say:
"The mean temperature for the
week was slightly below normal.
The days were warm, with much
sunshine, but the nights were un-
seasonably cool. Fresh to brisk
northerly winds prevailed on sew
cral days during the week.
"The weather was very favorable
for farm work, and as result crops
are in an excellent state of cultiva-
ton, but are generally small for
this time Of year. In the central
and northern portions of the State
the cool nights and northerly winds
have retarded the growth of cotton
and caused; lice to become quite
damaging in many fields, while over
the southern counties cotton is gen.
orally doing well and is beginning
to bloom.
Corn needs rain In all sections,
and in some localities it is being
materially damaged by the dry
weather; laying by is abtut COM
pleted north and early corn is ear
ing south.
"Cane, melons and fruit have
generally continued TO do well, but
gardens, peas and pastures need
more moisture. Watermelons are
repining south"

money. While his brother, Q. G..
Erickson. he being alone in the store,
had occasion to step outside for short
interval, some fellow who evidently
knew where the cash box was kept,
appropriated the contents to his use.
The theft must have preyed on the
conscience of the thief insomuqh that
few days later Mr.. Erickson received
$40 in an envelope through the mail,
without any sign of who sent the
money. So it was quite apparent
that the fellow thought he could not
use the money stolen with any degree
of comfort. 1t is said. however. that
there was considerably more than the
amount returned in the box. New
