A NARROW ESCAPE.
How Two Young Men Narrowly Missed a
Watery Grave.

How Two Young Men Narrowly Missed q
Watery Grave.
Mr.. George Townsend lost a neat
little boat during the rise in the Colo
RADIO. 1t was fourteen .eet long, had
three-paddle bronze screw propeller
and worked with a quarter-horse
electric motor driven by two storage
batteries 10x10x12 inches, and capable
of propelling the little craft twenty
hours. The boat and fixtures were
worth about 5000 and the electrical
appliances were arranged by Mr..
Townsend, who is quite an expert in
electrical matters. The boat is sup
posed to have gone over the dam and
down the river.
When the first big rise came down
George and a companion were out in
a skiff opposite the boat landing.
They heard the roar OF the
wave and thought it was q
freigh train on the international
road, but before they were aware OF
their mistake their skif was spinning
around in the water like top. and
struck the dam before they fully re,
allied their danger. Fortunately they
hit the dam west of the gap, ard by
clinging to the rough granite face OF
the dam they "clawed" their way to
the west bank, where they left the
skiff and walked over to Barton creek
bridge, thence to the river bridge and
into the city.
1t was quite dark when the wave
struck them and they feel that they
had remarkable escape.

Aese combina-
against Hogg

5mucn. he pre-
hant election.
Mr.. r. l.. Bats was called ON, bui
excused himself as he was UMPIRE
pared. He had confined himself
strictly to the congressional con-
test. He advocated work for the
next week and not talk. He
said he had been for
Clark before the convention, but since
then he has been for Hogg, as he re-
garded him as the nominee of the
party.
Judge Fillmore was called upon.
He said he was especially anxious to
see Travis county vote for Hogg, as
this county and city are under special
obligations to Governor Hogg. Nine
tenths of the opposition to Governor
Hogg was because of his fearless exc
cution of the laws.
J. j. Faulk was called ON and said
he had been in Georgetown that day,
aud said he brought back good news.
He was told the county would give
Hogg more votes than for Clark and
Nugent combined. He said he
was told Mr.. Tips was up
there, q democratic nominee,
urging the Germans to vote
for George Clark (cries of scratch him,
scratch him, and commotion.) But
Mr.. Faulk said no, he did not believe
In that. He charged that the ticket
as issued by the county commissions
ers was 80 issued In the interest of
George Clark. He advised everyone
to carefully examine the ticket as
they would find trouble In voting 1t.
Messrs. Gossett, w. w. Archer,
Gen. r. w. Handy and l., l.. Fost n
made short speeches and the meeting
adjourned at 9:l5 o'clock.

NEARING THE END.
The Dam Injunction Suit to be Heard Next
Wednesday.

wednesday.
When an attempt was made to en-
Join the sale of the dam bonds and
stop the work on the dam, the friends
of that measure were happy. There
had been world of idle talk about
the legality of the measure and its
friends were glad it was to 60 before
competent tribunal for adjudication.
The case was tried before Judge Rob-
ertson and he promptly held against
the would be enjoiners. OF course the
case was appealed and the recent re-
adjustment of the higher courts
has worked right into
Austiu's hands for an early decision.
AS soon as the new civil court of ap-
peals was organized and the case re-.
feIred to them, the board of public
works instructed it's lawyers to take
all due steps to hurry up hearing of
the case. The lawyers upon proper
motion have secured from this court
the setting of the case for next
Wednesday. 1t will be argued on
that day, and an opinion may be ex-
pected on the following Wednesday,
Nov. 8. If the decision is against the
would-be enjoiners and they take an
appeal it will go to the empty docket
of the supreme court, and there a
hearing can be had. at once. So the
case can be finally disposed of by Dec.
l. That the decision will be favorable
to Austin none can doubt who place
confidence in the opinions of the dis
tinguished lawyers who have the case
in charge, and remember Judge Rob-
II. L. s,,I al nrfu
Immediately after the case is set
tied the remaining S500,00o of bonds
will be sold at par, and the remaining
four contradiction the reservoir, for
the power house, for the pipes and for
the electric light plant-will be let.
The work will then be pushed rapidly
all along the line, and the system will
be completely finished and in work.

for the dam and grand board of public
works having it in charge. Austin is
coming to the front and nothing can
stop her.
