SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE.

inaI MS Week OF Husband and
Wife for One Of the Most Re-
markable Homicides Ever Com
United.
Hattiesburg, Miss, Mpy o.
A-great deal OF interest is mani.
fested not only iu this county,
but throughout the State, in the
fate OF G. l.. Crosby and his
vile, Minnie Crosby, who will
be tried for the brutal murder of
u. t. McSbann at the term of
Forest county circuit court be-
ginning here Monday. The
crime, which was one OF the
most sansafiSnal in the history
r Ihis section, and presented
m.ny unusual and interesting
features, was committed on Eas.
ter Sunday of this year. AS
both Crosby and his wife have
made complete confessions, it is
expected that the trial will not
consume much time
According to the confession of
the murderers the crime was
planned by Crosby, the wronged
husband, who conceived the
fendish idea of compelling his
unfaithful wife not only to lure
her lover to his doom but actual
ly to become particeps criminis
in the widest sense of the word.
She pressed the trigger of the
shotgun which her husband aim
ed at the defenseless victim.
When the partlydecayed body of
McShann, mutilated by hogs and
vultures, was sfoynd in a seclud.
ed spot near tFn,Bowie street
bridge in Leaf, river swamp on
April 21, Coroner Farley called
jury and held an inquest. As
there was evidence that Mrs.
Crosby had been intimate with
the murdered man, she was ar
rested and submitted to an ex-
animation before the coronor's
jury. She denied knowledge of
the crime and was remanded to
the county Jail. There she made
a full confession to Deputy She

ed ber to appear again before the
cofoner's jury and repeat her
confession the same evsning.
Mrs. Crosby admitted that she
mad been intimate with McShann
and had met him secretly many
times near the Bowie bridge,
while her husband, saw filer
in Che employ of the McInnis
Lumber company at Petal, was
working with the logging crews
in the woods, staying away from
home for days and weeks at a
time. Her husband became
aware OF her unfaithfulness by
intercepting her correspondence
with McShann. He threatened
to kill her, but spared her to
make her an instrument OF his
revenge. 80

Nearly A Bad Fire.

AT 1880 p. m. Monday night
the alarm of fire was given and it
soon developed that a confagra-
tion was starting up in the Leath-
erwood Hotel, beginning in a
small heap of floor cleansing ma
t,rial that was tswept together in
west end of the west hall. Fort
unately the fire was discovered
before it got beyond control and
prompt efforts on the part of those
arriving first on the scene extin-
guished it. The wind was blow
ing almost a gale, everything was
unusually dry and there would
have been widespread destruc-
tion had the fire not been smoth-
cred promptly, because the flames
would undoubtedly have spread to
adjoining buildings.

HEALTH BAROMETER.
Scne Simple Methods Of De-
termining the Presence Of
SeriousDiseases in the Body.

Key to health.
The urine is an unerring indicator of
bodily health.
Exhaustive scientific study has devel-
oped the fact that through the urine it is
possible to largely determine the disease
with which the victim is afflicted.
For instance, scanty passages of dark
colored or cloudy urine containing red
dish or white sediment is an infa1lible
sign of kidney trouble and should be
given quick attention. If neglected the
absorbent vessels which gather up the
liquids of the body to be expelled as
urine give way and allow the water to
back up and spread itself through the
inner cavities of the body, ultimately
poisoning the whole system and produc-
ing condition known as dropsy.
Frequent passages of large quantities
of urine, colorless and of sweet odor in
i dicates diabetes.
The presence of albumen in the urine
is an evidence of Bright's Disease.
Bile in the urine is warning that the
liver is torpid.
These several irregularities of the urine
prove conclusively the existence of
/ disease of serious import to the victim.
the safe course is to begin treatment as
soon as its existence is known.
! Prick1y Ash Bitters exercises highly
beneficial influence in the kidneys and
urinary organs. 1t quickly arrests the
progress of the disease, strengthens the
kidneys and organs which have to do
with the urine so that they can fully per-
form their duties of keeping the body
free from uric acid poison and other inn
purities.
Prick1y Ash Bitters has earned arepu-
tation that puts it beyond comparison
with other remedies designed for kidney
and bladder ailments. Its record rests
upon the marvellous success that has fol-
lowed its use wherever it has been tried.
Many physicians praise its efficacy in
diseases of the kidneys and urinary or
gans, although they are opposed to pro-
prietary remedies as class.
1T can recommend Prick1y Ash Bitters to be
the best kidney medicine in the world,'' says d.
r. Robinson, Jeiks, Mo. Thousands OF others
from all parts Of the Union give willing testimony
as to the great curative powers Of Prickly Ash
Bitters for urinary, liver and kidney troubles.
