miraculous escape shortly after dark
last night. He Jumped healflti-l
through the window of a
Southern coach while the train was
running between thirty-fire an-1 for
ty miles an hour, and as strange as
it seems, got up and escaped to the
woods before the train could be stop

escape occurred about a mile and a

ROPE AROUND HI8 NECK.
Mob Relented, However, and Whip
ped the Boy Instead.
New Orleans, Oct. 9—To escape
lynching, a 12-year-old negro boy,
known as Jessie James, was brought
here tonight from Amite, La., and
placed In the Parish prison. The
boy waa accused of attempted assault
upon a 4-year-old white girl, and It
was necessary for the sheriff at
▲mite to take him secretly aboard a
train today to escape the lynchers.
This waa the boy’s second escape
from lynching.
Immediately after the crime he was
dragged Into the woods by the friends
of the family of the outraged child
and a rope had been placed about his
neck. On account of his youth, how
ever, he waa whipped Instead of
hanged.
Dr. Harris Is himself disposed to

aronslbllity for tho prevalence of most
climatic or slow fevers that occur
Airing tho summor months in many
■rortfams of the south. He thinks
that If every house could be properly

He Is positive that there would be
