THIS WOMAN CAME NEAR BEING
BURIED ALIVE.
[Special to The Sentinel. ]

London. March 2S.-The many ac-
counts of premature interment which
were related at a recent meeting of
the Association for the Prevention of
Premature Burial held in this city, is
responsible for a story of a Bourne
mouth lady, of an uncanny ordeal
through which she passed fifty years
ago.
Fifty years ago" said the lady,
my grave was dug in Hadlow church
, in Tent. l had been staying with
cousins, who lived at country house
not far from Tonbridge. During our
play one of the boys kicked me acci-
dentally on the head. and this was
the beginning of an illness during
which / was powerless to speak or
move. 1t was a kind of brain paraly-
sis, l suppose, not so we'll understood
fifty years ago as now.
Both the local doctor and a Lon
don specialist regarded my case as
hopeless. Although unable to speak
or to move, even to flicker an eyelid,
was perfectly conscious of their
presence, and of all they said con-
cerning my case. My father was very
i'll at the time, and later knew that
he was dead, and that the undertake
ers were in the house. But l could
make no sign.
But that awful moment. the hor-
ror of which is still with me, came
when my nurse began to lay me out
for the grave. / was conscious of ey-
erything-of the shroud and the
bandages she was putting round my
face. l heard the nurse say to my
mother. who had come to take last
L. o.,
hours; she Is quite cold
LAS my mother bent down to look
at me / opened my eyes. All l re-
member is seeing her fall backwards,
and then / passed into unconscious
ness. The next thing / can recall is
the nurse putting jelly into my
mouth.

Sam Falconi, the Black Hand plotter,
killed Thursday, to be buried. he was
inferred in Mountain View cemetery
under a fictitious name. The search
for the fugitive member of the band
has been dropped by the sheriff's of

SLEEPY STACCfRS KILLS ANIMALS People About England Ap- peal to Government

CAUSE IS UNKNOWN
veterinarian From Waldr0n is Ex- pected 10 Arrive There.
 Next Week.

!. England, Aug. 27.-An epidemic in this section is carrying off dozens of horses and mules. An appeal to the governments agricultural department has been made by the citizens. in the hope of obtaining the services of an expert veterinarian. A veterinarian of Waldron has volunteered to come and make an investigation next week, though not at the behcst of the gov ernment.
 Not many mules have died but the disease seems most fatal to horses. The disease has been denominated or diagnosed as sleepy staggers' by To- cal horsemen, but opinions vary as to the cause. Farmers are very much discouraged over the situation; those who have already lost stock are buy ing more, and those whose stock are not yet attacked by the epidemic are very apprehensive.

LOCAL BURGLARS
 USE CHLCR0F0RM Faithful Dog Awakens E. P. Kilmer, Who Had Been
 Chloroformed.
SYRINGES WERE USED
fInds Wife Sick From Effect of Drug, But Burglars Were Fright
 cned Away.

Unconscious of impending danger to his home and probably to the lives or hlmself, wife and four small chil- dren, E. P. Kilmer, d fireman an the Cotton Belt railroad, slept soundlv early yesterday morning while des- perate men at an open window of his bed room were in the act of chloro- forming him, preparatory to entering his home The faithful little dog, pac- ing every foot of the yard at all hours of the night, aroused his master and awakened him to his great danger. with ferocious barking.
 Evidently with the intention of bur glarizing the home of Mr. Kilmer at No. 1201 East Third avenue early that morning, unknown parties had resorted to the use of chloroform to deaden the senses of Mr. Kilmer in order to insure safe entrance into the home. MT. Kilmer whose bed Is near the window of his room was awakened near the midnight hour by the loud barking of his dog. He was somewhat startled, but not too badly to realize the situation. His pillow was saturated with the sckening drug as was his wifes. When he arose hurriedly he found his wife also awake and very sick from the ef fleets of the drug. He quickly start ed for the door, but before he left the window he could hear a person moving on the outside
 MT. Kilmer hurried into the yard but could see nobody The attempted burglary was one of the most sensa- tlonal ever attempted in the city and had it not been for the faithful little dog in the yard the house would have been burglarized in all probability, and harm might have come to one of the family. Four small children ranging between the ages of two and eight years, were sleeping in other parts of the house. MT. Kilmer states that he believes that the drug was placed on his pillow by syringes manipulated by men outside the win dow.

SIXTY PER CENT
 SAYS J. M. GRACIE
Cotton Planter Estimates Cotton Crop-Says Crop Has Improved
 But Cool Weather is l'nfayOrable

John M. Oracle, one of the largest
 if not the largest individual cotton planter in the south, having more than 1000 acres of cotton land in cul- tivation in this county, reports that the crops in this section has improv- ed very much in the past three weeks. With favorable season, from now until September 1, he says the plant CTS in this section will make about sixty per cent of a full crop. The cotton is being damaged some by sharp shooters and boil worms, and this will continue~as long as the wet, cool weather continues. Advices from New Gascony, which is in the center of the Oracle plantations, yes- terday, was to the effect that the thermometer dropped to as low as 55 degrees yesterday morning and if the cool weather continues it will result in much damage to the growing crop.

Failed to Carry Out Promise to Make Good Check That Was Worthless
 Former Baseball Pitcher.

Oscar D. Welch, former member of the twirling staff of the Pine Bluff ball team ill the Arkansaw League, occupies a cell in the Jefferson coun- ty jail awaiting a preliminary hear, ing, which will be given him the coln- ing weef in Magistrate J. A. Frazier's court. He is charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. Welch was arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Constable w. A. Branson. af- ter the officers and others had been lenient with him in an effort to give him an opportunity to refund mnnaXl obtained from H. H. Daley, proprie- tor of the Hotel Jefferson barber shop and H. IB. Strange, cashier of the Peoples Savings and Trust Com pany.
 Welch is said to be a member of a we'll to do family of Birmingham, Ala. He is we'll known in baseball circles in this state and has lived here for year or more. He gave Daley a worthless check for $1 and when he was arrested for failure to make it good, he was released on promise to refund the money. He had previously passed a similar piece of paper here, securing $5 on it. His arrest was asked for at that time, but before the officers arrested him he settled the matter and the charge was dis missed. MT. Strange does not wish te prosecute Welch He merely ad- vanced him $10 on draft, which was worthless. It was simply a breach of trust
 Welch formerly worked for a local oueensware house, but of recent l months has been out of employment
