Make Due Allowance.

Crum. W. Va, June l4.-Fear of
smallpox epidemic is growing here
today, as the result of the escape
of a number of negro patients from
a smallpox camp car. which was
attacked by a gang from the Ken
tucky side OF Tug river. The car
was riddled with bullets, two of the
occupants killed and some wounded.
A report that the Quarantined
car was to be moved into Kenucky
caused the attack.
The above has a fishy odor and
should be taken with much salt.

sPEARFISH WOMAN TRIES

Spearfish Mail Considerable exicte-
ment was created Saturday morning
by the announcement that Mrs. Frank
Robinson had become respondent
some time during the preceding night
and had taken the contents of a
bottle containing cocaine. Her con-
dition was not reported until Satur-
day morning when a physician was
summoned. While she was near the
point of death when aid was secured,
it is understood that she is slowly re-
covering from the effects Of the drug
and is now safe from danger. There
appears to be marital troubles in the
Robinson family because of the ac-
lions of the husband. For some time
past he has been working for the
Homestake company In Speartish can
yon, but so soon as he drew his pay
check he proceeded to fill up on
bug juice and generally make himself
a nuisance. Relatives of Mrs. Robin
son were summoned when her condi-
ton was known, and they proceeded
to hunt up the cause of the trouble
and gave him thirty minutes to get
out of town. Subsequent events prov
ed that he didn't need all OF the
80 minutes in which to get into rig
and hike ont for naadwoOd He was
very emphatically informed by his
irate relatives that his space was
more acceptable that his presence In
Spearfish, and that should violate the
terms Of the understanding by re-
turning here he would meet with
trouble in large chunks.

New York, May 13.-It must have
been severe blow to some of the,
merchants Of New York when Mrs.
Theodore Octavia Moss, the eccentric,
widow of veteran theatrical mon
ager of great wealth died last Janu-
airy. Since her death it has come to
light that Mrs. Moss had a mania
for purcb esing all kinds of things
for which she had absolutely no use.
1t is said that in the last twenty
years of her life, Mrs. Moss spent
100000 alone at certain fashion.
able store on Fifth avenue. When
her magnificent home on Madison
avenue was searched after her death.
fully four thousand unopened pack
ages containing dress goods laces,
embroideries, silks, satins, linens,
millinery trimmings, etc., were found
piled up in spare room on the top
floor. Many of these goods, which
bore the labels of various fashionable
iACASuduLS VI view 1OTK, mad been
purchased many years ago, and had
never been touched since they had
been stored away after having been
delivered to the purchaser. The SON
and two grandsons, being the only
heirs of Mrs. Moss's estate. had no
use for the accumulation of dry
goods and had them sold at auction
the other day. The jewelry accumu-
lated by the money-mad widow were
sold some time ago, and brought $3e,
800, although it had originally cost
a great deal more. How recklessIy
and indiscriminateingly Mrs. Moss
spent her money may be inferred
from the fact that among the goods
found in unopened bundles and aus-
toned off. were several dozen bundles
OF feathers and millinery trimmings,
five hundred parasols, one hundred
fans, and many dozens of kimonos,
shawls, beaded capes and velvet
