Mrs. Lena Davis at the Home of Her Sister. SWALLOWED CARBOLIC ACID. Suffered Excruciating Pain for Two Hours Before Death Ended Her Suffering. THE CAUSE IS NOT KNOWN. Came From Her Home in Ham- mond, Ind., Four Days Ago to Visit Mrs. Higgins ‘ on Kossuth Avenue. Mrs. Lena Davis, age 31, sought death In @ most horrible form Friday morning. Bhe was visiting her sister, Mrs. James Higgins, at 3505 Kossuth avenue. At 10 o’clock she drained the contents of a two-ounce phial that had been filled with carbolic acid, From that hour until noon she tossed about upon a bed in great agony. Dr, Pearce, Grand and Kossuth avenues, sat by her side and administered the anti- dotes known to the medica] world, but with no result. . At times the woman's convulsions were so great that the physician and others who stood near by could with difficulty keep her from tearing her flesh with her finger nails and throwing herself on the floor. Mrs. Davis came to St. Louis from Ham- mond, Ind. Her husband accompanied her, and after a few days at the home of Mrs. Higgins he left on a short trip, expecting to soon return. “My sister seemed in good spirits morning,” said Mrs. Higgins. “Nothing has occurred recently to depress hey, that I am aware of, and I am at a this “I spoke to her soon after 9 o'clock, and she seemed as cheery as usual. “The first intimation I had anything was wrong was when I heard groans coming frém hor room. “Running in, I. found her tossing on the bed, the empty bottle on the floor by her side. She had drained all the contents— two ounces.”’ Dr. Pearce arrived at the house a few ménutes after Mrs. Davis’ condition had been discovered. When he learned how much of the powerful acid the woman had taken he said her death was a matter of mot more than a quarter of an hour. But she clung to life with wonderful tenacity. Some of the acid had spilled on her lips and cheeks, burning the flesh a bright red A reporter for the Post-Dispatch was told By Mrs. Higgins Friday afternoon that her sister probably killed herself because of trouble she had with her mother-in-law in Hammond. Mra. Higgins did not think of this during the excitement earlier in the day, but later certain words Mrs. Davis had let drop came to her, and she is convinced this trouble wil! be found to have caused the desperate act.

Former St. Lquisan Roughly Used by a Band of Masked - Men in New Mexico. DRIVEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. A. W. Gifford, Well-Known Here as a Mine Owner, Victim of the Mob’s Indignities. HIS GUIDE SENT WITH HIM. Whipped Upon His Bare. Back, Tarred and Feathered and Shot at Is the Treat- ment He Received. Visited at midnight in his tent by armed and masked men, cursed and abused, lashed fifty times on the bare back with knotted ropes, badly tarred, given twenty-four hours to get out of the country, and threat- ened with hanging if he returned again. This is the treatment received by A. W. Gifford, a former St. Louisan, while pros- pecting in the lonely Sacramento range of mountains, New Mexico, near the Mesca- lero and Apache reservations. It was said in a telegram from Saratoga that Mr. Gifford was accompanied by a woman whom he claimed was his s'ster, and that the punishment he received was inflicted by indignant mountaineers who ob- jected to the lax and unlawful doctrines taught by himself and the woman. Information received from E] Paso makes no reference whatever to a woman, but de- clares that ‘“‘the white-capping of A. W. Gifford in the Sacramento mountains is an- other startling manifestation of the unre- generated, devilish elements that have held sway in that section for the last ten years, bull-doging, killing and whipping good eople who desire to settle up the country y honest industry.” Mr. Gifford was at the time representing the Gold Extracting, Min'ng and Suppiy ©o. of Denver. He had been in that region eeveral weeks, accompanied by Lyman Al- len, a resident who acted as guide and pilot through the passes and canons. On the Dig t of July 24, while both Gif- ford and Allen were sieeping in their tents, eight masked men rushed upon them, dragged them forth and seizing Gifford stripped him to the waist. They then tied him to a tree, and with heavy, tarred ropes lashed him fifty times on the bare back. oa wae followed by a coat of tar and then the masked men fired twenty or thirty shots in close deg eget to his body, adding a verbal warning to get out of the country or he would be more summarily dealt with. Allen was merely told to follow the pros- pector and never return. They made their way down the mountains to Las Cruces, from which point both men started for El Paso, A. W. Gifford was for several years a prominent figure in the financial and min- ing circles of St. Louis. He had a small amount of ready money, but was popular and still has the friendship and confidence of wealthy men. In 188 he became interested in prospect- ing for gold near Saltillo, just beyond Mon- terey, exico. He interested capitalists here in the developments, several of whom paid a visit to the mine. re He was unsuccessful in getting them to invest, and finally the roperty passed from him to the Rockefellers, who have now a large output of gold all the year round. Mr. Gifford married a Miss Roberts of St. Louls, and together they lived hap- pily in the big store building near the corner of Twenty-eighth and Olive streets. Mrs. Gifford, however, became an invalid, and her husband spent large sums in procuring treatment for her. e had been in Monterey several weeks in company with-William H. Thompson of the National Bank of Commerce. fu * Stevenson of the Central Law Journal and others, when one morning Mr. Stevenson found Gifford reading a letter. “Do you believe in Christian sc’ence?” asked Mr. Gifford. “I don't, but my wife writes me she has been suddenly and mirae- ulously cured. Mus: be some humbug about it. It's curious, though, for mv wife says she is perfectly well again. I don't under- stand it.’’ Awhile after Mr. Gifford’s return to S8t. Lou's his wife became a convert to the Christian Science doctrine. Then he was percuaded to embrace the doctrine. and from thence he paid more attention to Chris- tian Science than to his material interests. His brother, Ed Gifford, of Monterey, who is now in the city on a business trip, made every effort to disprove his brother’s be- liefs and turn his attention from them, but to no purpose. At last there was a shocking awakening. Mrs. Gifford became insane, and, it {s said, she has since been confined in the State Lunatic Asylum of Kansas. This was tn 1890. Mr. Gifford went away from St. Louis then and made his home in Monterey with his mother. “I knew A. W. Gifford quite well,” said President Thompson of the Bank of Com- merce. ‘“‘He had no office of his own in our building, but he used the desk of a friend, and so I saw him frequently. He was a good fellow. I was with him once at Monterey and Saltillo. I know nothing ve = had of his domestic or personal] af- airs.”’ “I do not beHeve,” said W. H. Stevenson of the Central Law Journal, “that Mr. Gif. ford had a woman with him in the Sacra- mento Mountains. If he did, !t was not for immoral purposes.

THOUGHT IT WAS FUNDY. Stenographer in the Rialto Building Imposes on a Boy. BOY WANTED—An office boy; bring references. L. J. Wendell, -724 Rialto Building. This advertisement, which appeared in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, caught the eye of little Benjamin Cohen, whose father is a manufacturer of clothing at 520 North Third street. Armed with references Benny went to the Rialto Building. Room 72% was closed. A young man stood in the door at room 708. He beckoned young Cohen and the lad told him the reason for his visit. ° “Tl know somebody who wants a bright youth,” said the man at 708, and going to his typewriter he wrote, then signed a note. “Go to 17 South Broadway, sonny, and you'll get a nice job.” The lad trudged to that address and pre- sented the paper. They laughed at him and told him he had better go home. The boy was downcast at not having found émployment and he showed the letter to what the parent read: Mr. Spikes, Attorney-at-Lying, 17 South Broad- way, Ci ' and another feud, which may result in much | bloodshed, is likely to follow. ty: Friend Kpikes—Kindly give bearer position of shoveling smoke and molding eggs in your feather foundry, and oblige yours truly, TACKS.

McCarthy, who said he was the father of Mrs. Rates No. 8 The police say Bates married at least seven women, all of whom are living, and only one of them divorced. This makes the lean and sallow-faced little bookkeeper a polygamist extraordinary. The following women have so far filed with the police their claims to Bates as husband: Mrs, Bates, formerly Miss Julia Mce- Carthy; married in Chicago three years ago; recognized by the prisoner as his true wife and dwelling at 80 West Sixty-first street.

She stumbled and fell sideways into the boiling water. The baby boy thought it was all in the game and with a merry shout threw him- self into the tub after his sister.
