CANNIBAIISN IN POLK COUNTY
GruesOme Story Of NeSress who
Killed and Ate Her Own Child

There have been rumOrS on the
street today of a piece of cannibalism
practiced by a negro woman of Nichols
distributed by travelling men MAILING
that district. who say that negro
woman roasted and ate of her
children She was at the table with
her other children indulging in her
orgy of human flesh when man
came in and was invited to the table.
When he asked what she was eating
she replied that it was pork" One
of the children then spoke up and
said, Oats not polk. but my brother
that she's eating" and, most horri-
BILE, went out at that and produced the
child's head from where it had been
buried or hidden.
Another version of the story was
that the woman had partitioned the
flesh and was distributing it in the
shape of sandwiches.
When the Times man first heard of
the gruesome banquet it was reported
that il had occurred at Mulberry. The
authorities there. interviewed by tel
ephone, stated that they had heard
that it had occurred at Nichols, and
that the woman was in jail in Barlow.
on calling up Nichols the commissary
agent denied the story in toto, and at
Barlow likewise. although the authori-
ties could not be reached. the story
was not tantiated.-Tampa Times.

CONFEDERATION AT CLEARWATER
Great Destruction of Property In the
Pretty West Coast Town

Clearwater, Fla, June 25.-A fire
early yesterday morning destroyed
property to the value of about $4,000
The row Of frame buildings fronting
on the north side Of Cleveland street,
between Fort Harrison avenue and
Osceola street, were completely de-
stroyed. with the greater part of the
stocks contained in them.
Among the buildings destroyed was
the one occupied as a postofffce. As it
was the same distance from where the
fire had it's beginning the postmaster
and a number OF others who assisted
him We're able to secure all of the
mail, the stamps and money as well
as other Quitting Of the postoffice,
so that Uncle Sans loss is a minor
affair
The buildings destroyed were used
for mercantile pursuits mostly, and
were Of one and two-story form, all
frame. They burned rapidly, despite
the efforts Of the volunteer fire night
ers. 1t is estimated that the goods
destroyed in the various stores
amounted to $4,000, with insurance
for about half that amount: the value
Of the several structures was about
$1,000. with insurance for about one
fourth the amount.
