BOYS DEATH MYSTERY.
Efforts Being Made to Find Money
Which SOurs Had in His
Pockets.

Luray, Va, Oct. efforts are be-
inc made by the county authorities
to eascertain exact details Of the
tragic death Of Daniel Sours, II
years old, who met death at noun
tain cliff Monday night, while on a
raccoon hunt. 1t is limited that the
boy may have been showed over the
precipice, after being robbed, as 50
which he had in his pockets when he
left home was missing when his body
was found after daylight yesterday.
Two negro boys, who accompanied
Sours on the hunt on the Blue Ridge
mountains, said they believed the boy
was blinded by the lantern light and
could not see the precipice when he
approached it. All efforts to find
the money which the boy carried with
him up to this time proved of no
avail.
It was a long time before the two
negro boys could give an intelligent
description of the route to be follow
ed in order to find the body, which had
to be carried by men through noun
tain gorges before it could be placed
on a wagon to be taken home.

Young Man Freed After Trial on
Charge of Numbering Edward
Miller.

Staunton, Va, Oct. 3.--Lee Grea-
tsyer was acquitted Wednesday night
tof the charge of taking part in the
murder of Edward Miller, who was
slain one night in June of 1911. VIII
liam Greaver and his two brothers
were indicted jointly with Lee Greav-
er for the murder.
Nothing was brought out directly
to connect Lee Greaver with the
crime. The nearest approach was the
statement. from j. A. Crawford, a
negro. who found the body Of Miller
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road track, that after leaving the
boiy he was attracted by the strlk-
ing of a match, and on looking back
he saw Lee Greaver, whom he knew
we'll, leaning over the body of Miller
with a lighted match in his hand.

To insure the prompt shipment Of
diphtheria antitoxin for use in emer-
gencies, the State Board of Health

will see that emergency orders are
sent out by the first train leaving
Richmond. To avoid any possibility
of delay, however, the Board is urs-

the Board can be used at any time

This statement occurs in a summary
Of mortality statistics from 1851 to 1910,
Just issued by the Society for the Pre-

ject Of the report is to furnish for the
information Of the public the essential
statistics of the cancer problem in
England and Wales.
The compiler says: The public has
long been familiar with the numerical
gravity Of the white scourge. but that
malady, now so well in hand. pales into
insignificance beside the new terror that
has arisen. There is little rashness in
prophesying that within five years cancer
will have outstripped it's rival and will
nave a heavier death role than con-
sumption. The one, moreover, is a dy-
ing and conquered foe, the other shows
a prime vitality and rides rough shod
over the whole realm of medical ingenu-
ity. Yet the public has campaigners
galore against consumption, but it's war
