The art of swimming is subject
which has its attractions when the
thermometer is among the niueties.
There is probably not mother in this
town who would not be glad to have
her boy learn to swim ard many is the
man who regrets that the art was not
made part of his special edu cation.
With proper guards against danger,
timid parents would allow their boys
to $50 near the water" and learn how
to preserve their own and others lives
in case of an accident afoat. This art
might be encouraged by authority as
humane measure, and there would
be no possibility of anything like the
following scene !-"You've been in
swimming again, you young rascal.
Don't lie; | see your wet hair and your
shirt turned inside out!" '"There's no
danger, mother; | can always touch
bottom" $50 can l." and she does

mother, and everything In the tent.
Plaintiff and his wife used avery
means and effort TO keep the child dry
but could not do so. The storm was
IN the night and il turned much colder
just afterward. immediately after.
ward the child grew worse and died.
The next witness states that large
majority of the smallpox patients sent
10 the pest. house died, and that ALI the
continent cases died, with perhaps one
exception. One OF the defendants,
who seems r. have had charge of the
place or places where the patients
were, testified that After the rain and
hailstorm he ordered fly to be added
to the tent In which Aaron,s
wife and child were stayinp:
that he also ordered stove to be
put there. The fly was rut to the tent
but he never saw any stove there. ;
de considered the tent "a pretty fair
tent, and that good tent was better
for smallpox than bad house, In
our opinion the charge was not appli.
cable to the evidence.
Without further comment on the
case, we recommend that the Judgment
be reversed and the cause remanded. -

Rape.


Officers Coker and Collins arrested
last night between 10 aud IL O'Clock
aud lodged in jail one Tack McAlssters,
aged about 10 years, upon charge OF
rape committed upon the person OF
Cora, the little five.year old step
daughter Of Charles Drake. who runs
the Trinity Park saloon near the old
cemetery.
II seems that Mr.. Drake and family,
with the exception Of this child, were
away from home yesterday, and left
McMasters, whom they knew, at the
house during their absence.
Upon the return OF the parent the
child was noticed acting strangely,
and when questioned told frankly that
McMasters was the guilty party. He
had IN the meantime hid out, and, as
stated above, was not found until q
late hour.
A GAZETTE reporter questioned the
boy very carefully at the jail, but h,
most perslstently denied being guilty
but charged two other boys with tn,
crime.
McMasters was found, after severs
hours search, at his mothers house, IL
the southwestern portion OF the city.
