SIMPSON, A GAMBLER, WHO
MURDERED MAN SUNDAY,
TAKEN FROM GUARDS AND
STRUNG TO TELEGRAPH POLE

RHYOLITE, New, April 23.-Joe
Simpson, who killed James Arnold
Sunday, was lynched at Skidoo, CAL,
last night. A small band of citizens
overpowered the sheriff's guard and
hanged the prisoner to a telegraph
pole.
Simpson who was gambler, was
hanged to the crossarm of the pole to
which he was bound Sunday after he
had made an attempt on the life of
Cashier Dobbs of the Southern Cali
fornia bank at Skidoo. Simpson, who
bore an unsavory reputation, was in
toxicated, and after threatening
Dobbs shot and killed Arnold in a
cold-blooded manner. Arnold was a
butcher and heavily interested in
mining. AS justice of the peace he
had been instrumental in prosecut-
ing Simpson on several occasions.
The lynching was greatly applauded.

CHARLESTON, April 2S.-Seyen
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
is the conservative value placed on
the fruit crop of Charleston and
Vineland for 1908.
These are no idle figures. They
are the results Of careful estimates
made by men who are competent to
speak. They are conservative, rath-
er too low than too high. They do
not include the many thousands of
dollars worth Of fruits that will be
grown and sold to the home trade.
covering only that which will be
! shipped. Neither does the estimate
include the vast wealth of vegeta-
bles for which this section is famous
and which will reach value of
many thousands of dollars.
A brief visit to the orchards and
few interviews here and there
with some Of the prominent growers
and the business men of Charleston
make it plain that the busiest sea-
son in the history of this favored
fruit garden is about to be ushered
in and from now until late fall
everybody, fruit growers, pickers,
packers, buyers, canneries and box
makers. will be kept on the move in
the endeavor to handle what now
promises to be the largest fruit crop
in the history OF the valley.
A canvass made during the first
of the week among the growers
places the output of the various
fruits as follows: Strawberries,
dewberries, blackberries and rasp-
berries, $1,000 crates; watermelons,
30 carloads; canteloupes. 80 cars;
grapes, 10 cars; apples. pears,
plums and prunes, 40 cars; cherries,
$50 cars, and peaches 500 cars.
1t is estimated that in addition to
the help already available which
takes in all the boys and girls Of
working age residing in Charleston,
vineland and Lewiston. it will re-
quire at least 1900 persons from
outside points to handle this enor-
nous crop, making in all a total Of
at least $500 persons that will find
profitable employment during the
fruit season. which will cover Pc
riod of at least five months.
The first crop to require the at
tention OF the fruit men will be
Strawberries. This crop will COM
mence to move about May Is. This
crop will be followed by cherries,
which will keep the pickers and
packers busy until July, when other
berries and small fruits will be COM
ing on. The peach crop will demand
attention then and this will be fol-
