hen placed around the mans neck
and the body dragged down Main

where it was strung up.
The police succeeded in preventing
the body Of the negro being burned.
When the attack was made the mill
tia and extra police were ordered out,

FEAR FOR ROOSEVELT
BY A NOTED HUNTER

Washington, March ~5.-Captain Fritz
Duquesne, of German East AFRICA, lion
hunter and Boer war Fighter, at one
time considered by former President
Roosevelt TO mead mis- African expedi-
ton, expressed fear here yesterday that
Mr.. Roosevelt and members OF his
party hav not escaped infection from
the sleeping sickness. Captain Du-
quesne said that the subtle poisons of
the infectious African regions are in
the blood Of the members of the Roose-
welt party unless they miraculously
escaped infection, n they will mani
fest themselves before the party
reaches Europe.
1T is highly probable said Captain
Duquesne, that every member of the
Roosevelt party now has the virus OF
the sleeping sickness in his veins. II
may not develop until they reach Eu-
rope or even America. The sleeping
sickness sometimes is not manifested
in the person for several months after
the infection occurs. 1t is well nigh
incredible that the Roosevelt party,
passing through so many of the sick
ness zones. has escaped infection"
