A. FOUL MURDER.
aGE a.--'.. Ram
THREE KILLED AND THROWN
INTO AN OLD WELL.
go

On Sunday morning this com
nuuity was shocked to hear that a
triple murder had been committed
out near Pine Level. The facts
SO near as we can learn are: As
Mrs. Jake Simmons Ga colored
woman) was out in her yard Satur-
day afternoon she was shot and
killed as were also her two boys
aged three and FIVE, and their
bodies dragged to a partially filed
we'll into which they were thrown
and brush thrown over them.
When the older boys of the
family came home and did not find
any one they went to bed, and did
not until morning search for their
mother; when a turpentine hand
came to see the family. He
helped the boys to search for her
and soon made the CHASTITY dis
covery.
The alarm was at once given and
the sheriff with his dogs sent fol.
About this time Albert Simmons,
nephew of the murdered woman,
and a bloody knife and part of a
gun had been found in the yard.
The nephew disappeared shortly
carrying the gun with him. He
was tracked for a mile and found
near the spot where he had hidden
the gun. He was at once arrested
and brought to Arcadia. An in
quest was held and a preliminary
trial. The prisoner told different
stories as to his whereabouts the
night of the murder and endeavored
to implicate others as helping in
the murder, which he has confessed
having hand in.
The other negros were dis
charged there being no evidence
against them, other than Albert
Simmons word Albert Simmons
is still held
The husband Of the murdered
woman was in Arcadia, where he
was at work for Mr. Rails Him
self and wife were highly respected
colored people, and their neighbors
and friends could scarcely be held
in check for the law to take its
course, so indignant are they
against the perpetrator of the
CHASTITY crime. The prisoner is a
young colored man Of feeble mind,
who has been at large altogether
too long.

COUNTY POLITICS
INTERESTING INFORMATION
ABOUT THE CANDIDATES.

HUGH c. sPARKMAN A CANDIDATE.
Editor Hugh Sparkman, of
Zolfo, this week announces himself
candidate for representative in
the legislature. We can heartily
recommend Mr. Sparkman, having
known him for years. If elected
he promises to work for the best
interest of the county upon whose
welfare and prosperity his own
depends. He opposes the repeal
of the Buchanan bill and also OPP
posses any further appropriation
for the State Fair at Tampa. Mr..
Sparkman is already distinguished
for his bright editorials, and his
ability as a politician in his home
town, and we predict If elected,
will be an honor to his county.

the matter where they found it, =
which shows conclusively that
there is too much doubt about
Cooper's guilt for the grand jury
to recommend anything to the
pardoning board This result
came about in this way; A
detective last fall reported TO the
governor that he thought two
other people were guilty with
Cooper This was old to all Of us
who were familiar with the case,
but the governor wanted it investi-
gated The first week Of court,
the grand jury had the detectives
report with the affidavits taken by
him (not by me) before them and
investigated. They reported no
bill and added that there was
nothing brought before them to
'exculpate Cooper" this was on
Friday Of the first week. /
objected to the language going
into the report for the reason that
Cooper's side had not been before
the grand jury at all, but to the
reverse, they had been trying to
secure evidence against him. The
court then instructed the grand
Jury, if it desired it, to sit the
second week and gather all the
evidence it could, agreeing that /
would furnish lists of witnesses
and all data before the pardoning
borrd. Immediately after this was
arranged, the states attorney
jumped in and put--according to
the Tribune's own showing forty
eight witnesses before the grand
jury, whose testimony was not
permitted to hear, and according
to the Tribune's own showing,
only twenty-five Of the forty-one
witnesses l summoned appeared,
but / got my affidavits there from
the pardoningfboard, that was the
main thing; / furnished them to
the grand jury, they did not
furnish them to me, as the Tribune
had it, and on those nine afiidavits
the grand jury say, after looking
into the matter, that they desire
to leave it where they found it.
Replying further to the Tribune,
/ can say that I am satisfied with
the action of the grand jury, all
though some of them were witness
es for the state in the trial Of
Cooper, and although the state
retired the case before it, before l
was allowed to go in, and when
the true record is written Of that
investigation expect it to be
another evidence before the
pardoning board that eOoper's
sentence should be committed.
Respectfully,

brand jury Presentment.

W. eA~ NfAohN NY bSihE NhAy
sworn to diligently inquire and
true presentment make, beg leave
to report. We have carefully in
quired into and examined all the
witnesses that have come before
our body and have found indict-
ments against all parties violating
the law wherein the evidence set
before us was sufficient toindict.
We are glad to report to your
Honor that we find crime in
DeSoto county, State of Florida,
on decrease. We learn this from
the witnesses examined.
We beg leave further to report
that upon reporting to the court
on last Friday we stated to the
SQUIRT in our General Presentment
that we had again examined
witnesses to ascertain whether or
not we could find any evidence
that would tend in any manner TO
exculpate l +. Cooper, who was
convicted three years ago for the
murder Of ] H. Bowman, or that
would warrant us in indicting any
other party or parties as principal
or accessory to said murder, and
that as a result Of our investi-
cations we found nothing excul-
pating Cooper or nothing that
would warrant us in indioting any
other person for said murder.
Whereupon your Honor instructed
us that inasmuch as the Governor
had advised that he had stayed
the execution of Cooper in order
that the Grand Jury at this term
of the court might make a further
and more complete investigation
of the matter your Honor in
structed us to return to our rooms
and make a full and more com
plete report as to the Cooper case,
and upon request Of J. w Brady,
your Honor instructed the clerk to
summons every witness that he,
Mr.. Brady, desired to testify before
our body relative to the killing of
j. H. Bowman. We thereupon
had summons issued for eighty
eight witnesses; the names Of
thirty-nine of said witnesses being
furnished by Mr.. Brady, and all Of
whom were summoned before Our
body to testify. Several witnesses
live beyond the jurisdiction Of this
court and did not appear. Out of
said number furnished by Mr..
Brady, twenty-five testified before
our body, fourteen in the presence
Of Mr.. Brady and eight we're
examined after he had Withdrawn
from the Grand Jury room
At the request Of Mr. Brady we
permitted him to come before our
body and examine as many of his
witnesses as he saw fit. He
examined only fourteen and stated
that he didn't care to examine any
more. We then thought it wise to
have all witnesses that he had on
the ground testify 50 that we
could ascertain whether Or not they
knew any material facts as to the
assassination Of Bowman
We also turned over to Mr.
Brady all the documentary evidence
sent Us BY Governor Broward and
gave him permission TO present

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar to the above greet us In the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
Ing symptoms.
Three OF the prominent ingredients of
which Or. Pierce'S Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
Of the leading writers on Mdtcrtd Medsc0
for the cure of just such cases Golden
Seal root, for instance, Is said by the
UNITED STATES OBSERVATORY, a stand
ard authority, ito impart tone and in
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system In general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed of muscular tissue, 1t naturally
follows that 1t must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredients
Of rGolden Medical Discovery. SO far
as its marvellous cures OF valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or Collinsonid Can,
Prof VIM. Paine, author OF Paine'S
Epitomy Of Medicine, says of it:
al. not long since had patient who was
so much oppressed With yalyular disease or
carry him upstairs He however. gradually
recovered under the influence OF Collinsonin
(medicinal principle extracted from stone
root, and is now attending to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy
for the remova al OF SO distressing and SO dan
gerous malady. With them 1t was all
guess work. and It fearfully warned the
afflicted that death WAS near at hand: Col
linsonin unduestionably affords relief In
such cases. and in most Instances effects
cure"
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
yalyular and other diseases Of the heart.
The latter says: at ia a heart tonic Of
direct and permanent influence"
rGolden Medical Discovery" not only
cures serious heart affections, but is
most efficient general tonic and inyigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts Of the system.
