SHOOTS HIS OWN SON.
From Effects of Which the Young
Man Loses Leg.

z Lee Banks, a white man, was. lod 8.
ed in Jail at Lexington wednesday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Miller,
charged with having tried to take
the life of his 20-year-old son, Troy
Banks, at the formers home, near
Leesville, Tuesday afternoon. 1t
is stated that the son was fred upon
by the father with a rifle, the bullet
taking effect in the calf Of his leg
shattering the bone to such an ex.
tent that amputation was necessary.
Details Of the affair are meagre,
but from what can be gathered It
seems that the father had been
drinking for several days, and while
under the influence OF whiskey, at
tackled his family, with the result
that the son was shot. The terrible
affair has shocked the entire COM
munity, and it seems almost unbe-
lievable that q man should attempt
to take the life of his only child.

MANY LITTLE ONES SAVED.
Antitoxin Cures Thousands Of Chill.
dren Of Diptherin.

Better treatment and control Of
diphtheria have prevented 26,676
deaths in Chicago In IA years. An
tltoxin is given the credit, according
to bulletin issued by the Chicago
Board of Health.
Before antitoxin came into use
the diptheria death rate averaged l3S
for each 100000 inhabitants. las
has dropped to SO. Antitoxin will
cure practically all cases Of diptheria
If it be given In time, in proper doses
and it will also prevent the develop
ment of the disease in those who
have been exposed.
deaths from diptheria are due
chiefly to ignorance, carelessness OF
neglect, the parents OF the victims
usually being the guilty parties. Fail
ure to pay heed to the oft-repeated
warning regarding the danger OF neg
lecting Simple sore throats," fail
ure to call the doctor in the earliest
stages of the disease and neglect to
secure Immediate treatment OF cases

STOLEN BY GYPSlES.
WAS KEPT FIvEs YEARS WHEN
DEATH RELEASED HER.
Was the Daughter Of Wealthy Par
ents, Who Searched Long, But In
Vain For Her.

Stolen from her home in Baltl-
more, Nd, over five years ago by a
band of gypsies, sold to- one OF the
tribe for 5000, and then, under hyp-
MOTTO influence, compelled to be the
slave and wife of this man was the
awful fate Of Miss Jessie Habersham,
who died this week at Cincinnati,
O., hospital shortly after becoming
the mother of q baby girl.
Miss Habersham was the daughter
of H. G. Habersham, wealthy brok-
er of Baltimore, and police and de-
tectives all over the country have
been searching for her ever since she
disappeared.
The long search ruined the faith
er's health, and the shock OF the
girls abduction was too great for
her mother, who died several months
afterward.
The dead woman was rs years
old. She said that she had been en-
ticed away from home by an old gyp-
sy woman, who belonged to tribe
that was staying near the Haber-
sham home. She was then sold by.
this woman to her nephew for $500,
and compelled by him to work hard
and to endure more than the hard
ships Of the ordinary gypsies.
According to the story told by the
young woman shortly before her
death, some strange influence held
her with the gypsies, and although
she made several attempts to escape,
all were fruitless. It was two years
before she even had chance 10
write to her father, and then the
tribe heard of her doing so and
quietly moved away before the police
authorities could reach her.
About five weeks ago the young
woman was carried to rooming
house in Cincinnati by gypsy who
asked that the woman be allow
ed to stay there until the child was
born. She remained there until she
became so low that she was taken to
hospital While dying, with her
baby in her arms, the mother told
the pitiable tale of her abduction
and hardships.

Up Until the End.

discovered at last by two men who
had long sought for life, Dominick
Morone, a shoemaker who went to
Middletown, N. T., from New YORK
sevtral months ago to escape assas-
sination, was murdered Just as ne
left his home one night last week.
Leaving their victim dead on the
pavement the men dashed to the rail-
road tracks and jumped on s! freight
train that was passing through on its
way to New York.
Morone, 40 years old, came from
Italy to the United States, Is years
ago and opened cobbler's shop IN
New York. A year or so ago he was
called upon to make q contribution
to the "Black hand" Society or ac-
cept death as the alternative.
Morone was In no position to meet
the demand. He fed from the city
and sought obscurity in Chester, n.
Y. There he remained few months.
Fearing, evidently, that he wasn't
safe. he then went to Midd!etown
and opened a shop, making his home
in the rear of the place. He lived
quietly, for the fear of death was on
him.
Morone met what he feared early
this week. Two men arrived IN
town, went, to the Italian quarter.
and made inquiries fof4 Morone's
address When they learned 1t they
walked to the house and stood near
by in the shadows. waiting.
After dinner the shoemaker left
his shop and walked down the street.
He had gone a block when, out of a
group OF pedestrians, one OF the muir
ders stepped out and called the shoe
makers name. Morone whirled
around, a look Of terror on his face.
Immediately his two enemies
drew revolvers and began shooting.
Passers-by fed and Morone was lett
a clear target for the assassins. They
emptied their revolvers into his body
and he dropped dead.

JAPAN IS READY FOR
KOREAN ANNEXATION
Liberal Provision Made for En-
peror, His Family and Other
Officials

TOXIC, June 30-There is every rea-
son to believe that an announcement Of
the annexation of Korea by Japan is
imminent.
In accordance with the convention
recently made between Korea and Jap
an, the Korean emperor has issued an
edict delegating to the Japanese gov
ernment the police administration of
the country.
This is the first step, and the final
step will be taken when Korea Is prac-
tically under guard. The garrisons are
being steadily strengthened.
The mass Of Koreans accept the re-
port of the approaching annexation
with Indifference. but a decided spirit
of unrest and activity among the anti
Japanese element necessitates precau-
tion prior to the forthcoming announce
ment.
Lieut.. Gen. Viscount Terauchi, the
Japanese resident general of Korea, will
leave for Seoul, the Korean capital, on
July 10, to confer with Emperor vi
Syek Of Korea, who is reported to be
in a complaisant state of mind, in view
of the ample provision made for him,
his immediate family and other mem
bers of the royalty under the anneXa-
ton arrangements.
The text of the Russo-Japanese con-
vention recently made will be pub
lished soon In st. Petersburg.
