The swamp, which is over fifteen miles long and about seven miles across, is composed of tangled vegetation peculiar to swamps, while in many places big cypress trees raise above thier dismal surroundings. Few men have ever succeeeded in getting through it and unless a heavy rain falls to put out the fire there will be little chance of doing anything to stop it. The place is full of valuable timber and today Dr. Gum, and a large force of men are doing what they can to fight the flames but with little success. With subterranean passages running through the place, the flames dart underneath, making a perfect flue and keeping the fire as hot as any furnace could do. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Lawson had never corresponded with his fmily after he had left the house in a fit of anger and it was not until this Christmas that he decided to return. He had made an effort to arrive home for Christmas but it was not until the Sunday after that he was able to make it home where he looked into the lighted house and saw an empty chair at the table as the family was about to sit down for a late dinner. With out a word of notice, he opened the door, walked in and sat in the vacent place. His mother immediately recogonized him and fainted, the other members of the famly swarmed around him with shouts of joy. Lawson had left the house as a lad, roamed around the country and finally found his way to Mexico where he became associated with silver mines. Although he disclaimed being a millionaire he will not deny that he is well off. It was during the present outbreak of trouble in Mexico that he decided to return home and he expects to remain with his parents for several months before he returns to Mexico and his silver mines. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Article Text: Selbyville, Del., Dec. 18, 1909: Known as the "Gumboto Hermit" for many years, a person of mystery and seclusion, Arnold Hudson, died a horriable death sometime last week, his body being found yesterday by a party of hunters, torn and mutilated in a terrible manner by buzzards. Gumboro folklore has it that years ago Hudson, who was a hustling young businessman, was disappointed in a love affair, and leaving his business and friends, disappeared. Long afterwards, he was found in the depths of the Cyprus Swamp, one of the most tangled and desolate places on the Peninsula, where he had built himself a rude cabin. As long as many people of town can remember he has been living there, never mingling with outsiders except when he brought huckleberries to town or to buy the few provisions that he needed. In his old cabin, with no window panes and with open doors, he lived his miserable existence, dirty and forlorn and having nothing whatever to do with any one. The fact that Hudson had not been seen for several we! eks aroused no wonder amoung the towns people and it was not know that anything had happened to him until ysterday, when a band of gunners were attracted by a flock of buzzards in a thicket. Going to the brambles they found a horrible sight. Picked and torn by the ravenous birds, the remains of Hudsonlay there. There was no sign of foul play and it is believed he met death by freezing. His body was easily identified by the clothing he wore, although his eyes and face had been badly pecked. Kind citizens will give the body a burial. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Crowds of spectators are expected to arrive at daylight. Gordy will make no confession.

Business Men of Delaware Endorse the Legislative Opposition. Dover, Del., Jan. 24. - Each Republican member of the Legislature who has not pledged his support to ADDICKS for united States Senator has received a copy of a letter from E. Tatnall WARNER, of Wilmington, President of the Charles Warner Company, and a leading Regular Republican, in which the writer says: "I am informed that a report has been circulated in Dover to the effect that the manufacturers and others located on and doing business on the Christiana have shown a disposition to effect a compromise with Mr. ADICKS in the matter of the Senatorial election. This I felt to be of so much importance as to warrant my calling on the different parties interested in this report, as, in every interview I had with them on the subject, they were strongly opposed to any compromise, preferring to sink any present loss rather than to have Mr. ADDICKS represent this State in the Senate. "I have, accordingly, called upon all the leading manufacturers, and every one of them that I saw declared most positively that it was false in every particular, and that they felt on this subject as I do; that it was to the interest of Delaware to sacrifices any present necessity rather than be represented by Mr. ADDICSKS. It is proper to state that two parties I called upon were not in, and, therefore, I had no opportunity of interviewing them. "I suppose I meet in my business life as many active business men as any other man in the city, and I have to say that of all the men I have met who profess to be Republicans only one, William Michael BYRNE, esp., has expressed himself in favor of a compromise with Mr. ADDICKS." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The young woman was unconsusious for some time after being brought to shore and today is ill in bed suffering from shock. Miss Joseph was one of a party of Lewes picnickers who camped along Rehoboth Bay yesterday. Captain Lubker took Miss Joseph out in his canoe and while on their way to the crabbing grounds, Miss Joseph, who was not used to canoes, undertook to turn around in the small craft. Lubkers warning cry came too late. Although Miss Joseph could not swim she managed to grab the canoe but the surface was too slippery and she lost her grip and had already gone down once when Captain Lubker reached the place she had disappeared, and diving down was able to catch her long hair as she was going for the bottom. Pulling her to the surface he swam in shore, bringing her with h! im.
