ATTORNEYS CHICKERING'S.
They Tend to Delay the Trial OF
the Perrin Case.


the Perrin Case.
Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 15.-The trial
of the Perrin case has been greatly de-
layed through disputes which have
arisen between the opposing counsel
concerning the correctness of the
respective copies of the evidence which
they hold. Lou Thayer, the woman
who betrayed Baker by pumping him
while both were under arrest at Iron
wood, occupied the witness box this
morning. The crOsS-eXaminatiOn drew
out from her the fact that Rossman. at
torney for the state, had told her prl-
vately that she would be discharged at
the preliminary examination. Her teS-
timony throughout was simply an
affirmation of the statements Baker is
alleged to have made to her and which
he in his testimony has positively de-
MED. The fact was also brought
out that shortly before Bakers
arrest the woman Thayer went
into Hawks drug store at Hurley and
asked the druggist for something to
put in whisky that will make fellow
sleep.' "Who was that fellow?'' asked
counsel for the defense. myself was
UD6 TGply given WITH uholuohih2 Chioae
cry. "Did you not want it for Baker?v
was asked her. mo, sir, not at ALL"
The druggist refused to give it to her,
and she left the store with the remark
that she would get it somewhere else.
Banker Reynolds was recalled, and tes-
tilted that Perrin had never given him
the SIS from the money he had won on
the prize fight, as he had testified. r.
II. Howard. secretary to Col. ByrneS,
was placed on the stand for the first
time this afternoon. He produced a
book containing statement made by
Baker three hours after his arrest in
answer to questions put to him by Col.
Byrnes Mr.. Stale and attorney at Hur-
ley. The statements were taken in
shorthand, and were to the
effect that Baker had told Col.
Byrnes, in answer to the question as to
where he got the money that was found
upon him when he was arrested, tnat he
made it in Oshkosh, and when Stale
asked the same question about an hour
later he told him he had made it all
over the bar of his saloon in Hurley.
From present appearances the case is
not liable to go to the jury this week,
and it is rumored that the prosecution
is trying to gain more time, as things
at present are decidedly against the

SETTLING RUSH OF WATERS.
The Situation at Arkansas City
Extremely Critical.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, March 49,
The condition of the levees at this place
is extremely critical. If the water keeps
up a great while it will flood the whole
of Chicot county, and finally make its
way into Tensas basin. The break in
the levee above the city continues to
pass a large volume of water, but it does
not increase in size. 1t is reported that
the levee at Bolivar, Miss, has given
away, but the report lacks confirmation.
From all reports it is only matter
of time when the end will come
and all will be Seething rush of waters
over the entire bottoms. Men and
women are exercised almost to frenzy
as soon as dark sets in, and but little
sleep is INDUCED in by them. One hum
dred more hands will arrive here to-
morrow and go to work on the levees.
The real condition of affairs at this
place has been suppressed. The water
from the Sappington break has flooded
the town and surrounding country,
hundreds of hogs and sheep have been
drowned, and the people are in constant
fear of break in the levee in front Of
the city where the water yesterday was
four inches upon the sand bags on top

The attention of Collector of Customs
Bradshaw has been officially called to
the case of the British ship Craigend,

ments were seized by the civil author
tiles in an action brought by deserting
sailors to recover their wages. Justice
of the Peace Patrick, of Tacoma.

the constable who served the writ took
from the vessel her compass, etc. The
deputy collector thereupon seized the
instrument as being dutiable, but after
wards released them upon telegram
from Collector Bradshaw. The agents
of the vessel are very indignant, and
will sue the city of Tacoma for dam
ages. claiming that justice court has
no authority to act in the matter i'll
which the United States district has the
sole jurisdiction. The matter was report
ed to the British vice consul here, who
is now at Tacoma getting information
to forward to England, he claiming that
the English flag has been insulted. The
only step Collector Bradshaw will take
is to have the constable punished for
taking foreign goods from'a vessel with
out permit. The orders of the justice
court. Collector Bradshaw says, will
not be interfered with, and so matters

FLOOD LEVEL REACHED.
The Water at Memphis Has
Reached an Alarming Height.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 19.-The
rivers are in an alarming condition.
The highest flood level ever recorded
has already been reached at many points
south of here, and will likely be at
tanned from Cairo to the gulf within the
next five or six days. The rainfall OF
the past three days sums up total of
from two to three inches over the coun-
try lying west of the Mississippi to
the Indian territory and south of
the Ozark range, and from two to
five inches between the Ohio and
Cumberland valleys. The river at this
point is three-tenths above the great
rise of 1882 and one-tenth below that of
1887, the highest on record. The Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis, the Iron
Mountain and the Little Rock & Mem
phis railroads, whose tracks lie through
the flooded district opposite here, are
confident of escaping inundation, the
roadbeds having been put i'll excellent
condition during the past year.
