Arrest of Fugitive.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September IS
Cicero Thompson, carpenter. aged
forty-five, was killed and woman COM
panion, whom he was accompanying
home, was criminally assaulted by an
unidentified negro at Ortego, suburb of
this city. yesterday.
1t is feared that lynching will follow
the arrest unless the authorities can
spirit the negro to jail without giving
the alarm
The white couple had taken the last car
home and were accosted by the negro
about half a mile from the car line.
Without preliminares the negro fired
point blank at Thompson. killing him
instantly, one bullet going through the
brain and the second near the heart. The
woman stood terror stricken and was
next attacked by the negro. who choked
her into Inconsistencies before accom-
plishinS his fiendish deed.
The locality where the crime was COM
mitted is, sparsely settled and no one
heard the shots or the screams at the
time The woman finally regained con-
seriousness and sought out some neigh
bors and the alarm was given. Immedi-
ately a posse was formed and the woods

SURGEONS PUT BACK
HEART IN ITS PLACE
Draw Off Fluid in the Cavity Sur
rounding the Left
Lung.

NEW YORK, September 1S.-With
his heart in the right place again, Har-
nv Baylies OF Bloomfield. n. j.. left the
Mountainside Hospital, Montclair yes
terday. The boy. son of Police Sergt.
John r. Baylies. entered the hospital
three weeks ago. The history OF his
case was not clear. The surgeons
found that much fluid had accumulat-
ed in the cavity that contains his left
lung: it's pressure had pushed his heart
out Of its normal position and to the
right. so that Harry would have had to
lay his hand over his breastbone II he
wanted to make love with appropriate
gestures.
The surgeons tapped Harry's left
pleural cavity very much in the same
way and with much the same kind or
instrument as a nurse taps a bottle of
champagne to draw off one glass for
the patient But the surgeons drew all
the liquid from the cavity. Then Har-
rvs heart. being relieved from pres
sure, returned to its proper position
and resumed pumping at the same old
stand. Literally. Harry breathed
freer, but that had not so much to do
with his heart as with his left lung:
there was more room for air In 1t after
the fluid was removed.
The surgeons advised Harry to keep
as quiet as possible. else the fluid may
accumulate again. But if it does they
will draw 1t of.

the favor that Paris can give. One
pretty and becoming shape is OF black
