her policemen. Very few indeed Of oul

the date Of discharge of the last

Ihe above Is erroneous as to the
adoption Of Decoration day by all the

Memorial day.

According to Section Director
Bauer the week ending Monday morn
ing, April "a, averaged much cooler

peratures until Saturday when max
ina above 80 degrees were recorded
in the southeastern COUNT s. The
lowest for the week was 2S degrees at

closed with temperatures considerably
below normal. There were general
showers and thunderstorms on the

but the rainfall was very light in the
extreme western and southeastern
counties where the need of rain Is in
dicated. There was no damage by
hail.

TRIED 10 POISON GUARDS.
A Chain Gang Prisoners Dastardly
Attempt Mt Murder.

A dastardly attempt to poison the
superintendent and the two guards OF
one OF the county chaingangs was
made Wednesday afternoon at the
camp, about twelve miles below o.
angeburg, by John Sims, alias Curly
Sims, a negro convict. Sims was sent
to tie chaingang from OtSngeburg,
convicted Of house-breakipg, and with
years sentence. He had made a
good convict and had recentlp,~Ioeen

Intended, after the poison had done
its work, to free the other convicts
and all would escape.
Chain gang No 2 was at work on
the public road few miles below Or
angeburg in the territory allotted to
the special supervision OF County
Commissioners Livingston. Sims was
left at the camp by the guards as they
went to work with the other convicts
Sims was the cook for the guards, and
did light work around the camp
When the guards returned to camp
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Jas. e
Hoover drank quntity Of the water
from the bucket kept for the use Of
the guards, and observed a peculiar
taste about 1t. He called the atten-
tion OF the other guards to this Pc
cuiiarlty, which prevented them from
drinking also CT the water. AS 1T was
they tasted the water to see what was
the matter with it.
Very quickly MI Hoover was taken
severely Ill. a physician was sum
moned and for some time his life was
despaired OF. However, he is now
thought TO be out of danger. The
other guards had drank so little OF
the water that they were not affected.
AS soon as Mr.. Hoover WAS taken sir!,
Sims disappeared, and his wher. d.
bouts are still unknown. S;iti Ue9
aloue in charge OF the camp, ao.' il is
supposed that he placed poison ii the
drinking water. Why he should wish
to do Injury to the guards Is not
known, as his term Of service would
have expired In about one week longer.
His sudden disappearance In connec-
ton with the other circumstances
lead to the suspicion that he Is respon-
slble for the poisoning Of the water.
Efforts are bsing made to effect his
capture and prosecution upon the
charge Of attempting the lives Of the
guards will be instituted. Sims is a
young, slim, black negro, and has
thick curly hair. Frank Inabinet, an
ex convicJ, is suspected of having
something to do with the dastardly
attempt to poison the guards, as he
was seen about the camp on Wednes-
day and disappeared with Sims.
