James W. Ward, Of Cannons, Sus-
sex county, was in Wilmington to-day
on a business trip. He says old Sus-
sex Is booming and that the farmers
have wonderful crops.
The tomato crop is short and while
the Gamers are paying from 10 to II
cents a basket, Mr.. Ward has been
paying 20 cents a basket and ship
ping the vegetables to New York.
Canteloupes are bringing from So
10 SO cents a carrier, the farmer
thereby netting $3.50 an acre. Mr..
Ward says It is no wonder that farms
in Sussex are I'm demand. The peach
grower and the apple king need not
imagine they are the only people i'm
old Sussex. Tomatoes will yield from
six TO eight tons an acre, and at 80
to SIS a ton the farmer is getting on
easy street. Sweet potatoes will give
a big yield this year Eggs were
bought at Cannons to-day at 26 cents
a dozen and city commission men
paid % cents (. o. b. at Cannons. So
prosperity is I'm Sussex In earnest and
the Republicans do not fear the COM
ing election.

.KIDNAPS And
MURDERS BOY
Body Found SlaShed to Ribbons
and His ASSaiIantS May
be LynChed
TWO ITALIAN LAB0RERS
SUSPECTED OF THE CRIEE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
RONDOUT, N. Y, Aug. 25-Under
the leadership Of Deputy Sheriff
Frank Spadafora and Constable So
tillo, posses are to-day searching for
two Italian laborers who are believed
to be the murderers of four-year-old
Peter Fabian whose body, slashed to
ribbons, was found yesterday in an
out-buildlng near the home of Frank
Fabian, the father, at Glasco.
Little Peter was kidnapped a week
ago, his abductors, 1t is believed, be-
ing men with whom the elder Fabian
had trouble. Believing the child
would returned in a few days, Fabian
did not become alarmed until. Tues
day, when he went to New York and
consulted fortune teller. The lat
ter told Fabian, according to his
story, that he would find his boy
near his home, but he did not know
whether the child would be alive.
Fabian returned and instituted
thorough search. resulting in the
gruesome discovery. The building
had been searched before, which in
dicates that the kidnappers, alarmed
at the interest that had been aroused
in the case, slipped the child into
the building and there committed the
murder, the unspeakable brutality OF
which has inflames the entire COM
munity. There are open theats OF
lynching by the Italians who make up
a large part of the searching parties.
The only clue to the murderers is
the fact that the father had serious
trouble recently with two fellow
laborers. These men have since dis
anpeared.
