THE ONLY ACCIDENT
worthy of mention that occurred during the
day befel Chester Hitchcock shortly before
noon. He borrowed skiff and set out to
assist neighbor in removing his furniture,
protesting his ability to manage boat against
any food. He had proceeded but short dis.
tance when his boat was struck by partially
concealed current, and he was lncontinently
hand, and he was fished out in somewhat
dllapltated condition and taken ashore. The
boat Aoated off down the stream, but was
afterwards caught and returned.
Justice Wood and Officer Rouleau, after
having spent three days in unremtting labor
for the help Of their neighbors, succeeded yes

some of their own furniture, which had been
left for all the time surrounded by water. They
lost considerable property. They are deserving
of great credit, however, for their self-sacri-
fcing efforts on behalf of others who were
placed in danger.
DR.. MINTzER's STOCK.
A trip to DR.. Mlntzer's farm developed the
fact that the stock there was in very bad
way. There were six horses and about an
equal number of cows standing belly deep in
water and rapidly becoming chilled and in
capable of eyertlng themselves for their own
safety. It was probable that they would per-
ish before this morning. Among the horses
was the famous hurdle racer Disturbance, val.
ued at $500. When Capt Starkey's wangan
left the premises about 4:30 O'Clock few of the
animals were able to use their joints, and as
the currents were exceedingly dangerous IN
that vicinity 1t was impossible to make
second trip TO the premises after the hour
named.
FEEDING THE MULTITUDE.
There were good many hungry people on
the West side yesterday morning. Billy
Brchor succeeded in serving q good solid
breakfast 10 about $50 people. jerry McCar-

MALICIOUS MISREPRESENTATION.
In the Pioneer Press of yesterday, paper
that has persistently misrepresented almost
every occurrence in West ST. Paul since the
beginning of the overflow, appeared state
ment relative to dispute between ex-Ald.
Mccarthy and Paul Martin that does the
former gentleman great injustice. The facts,
as obtained from eye witnesses, are as follows:
Mr.. Mccarthy had been busy all day as
slsting people to land from the submerged
district, placing two teams and several skitfs
at the disposal of whoever needed them, aud
himself plying the oars till he was pretty well
exhausted He was about to retire for an
hours needed rest when German named Yost
applied to him for shelter for his family.
Mr. McCarthy's house was crowded to over
flowing, there being eight families IN the space
intended for one. Although he was ready to
drop from exhaustion Mr.. Mccarthy took
Mr.. Yost in his wagon and drove to the bar
racks. Here he found that the space in all
the completed parts had been reser we'd for
friends of other persons. Finding, however,
took hatchet and marked 1t otffor Mr.. Yost
and his family. While in the act OF doing SO
he was accosted by Martin, who swore he ad
no right to interfere in the assignment OF
quarters. Mr. Mccarthy replied warmly. in
sisting that every citizen had right to inter-
fere to furnish protection for family In dan.
ger, and persisted in having the space marked
out reserved for Mr. Yost's family. He was
then assaulted and struck by Martin,
but offered no resistance except
TO defend his course on the ground OF desire
t. render all the help possible to those in dis
tress. He did not, as said by the Pioneer
Press, flourish a tomahawk, nor did he
threaten Martin with a slung shot. On the
contrary, he submitted to an entirely unpro-
voked assault IN the interest Of peace and In
the hope that he might be able to afford relief
to family that happened to be in distress. If
he was in fault at all 1t was In being over
anxious to provide for the necessities of
number of distressed human beings in quar-.
ters that were provided at the expense of the
general public. He had the right of every
citizen to help all in need of assistance, and
infinitely greater right to demand place for
drowned.out family than his assailant had to
deny it.
AatAN MISSING.
About 8 O'Clock yesterday morning Danet
Anthier, living nsar the corner of Clay and
Water streets, started out In a skiff to rescue
some of his goods. he did not return at
nightfal, and his wife, almost distracted with
apprehension, instituted inquiries for him,
but no one who had seen him could be found.
The police took up the search, and continued
1t till midnight, but without success. It is
feared that he was carried awav by some of
