GOODS GO TO THE NURSE.
A Dispute Lasting Several Months Set
tied i'm a Trice of Time.


Yesterday afternoon a jury in Magistrate
Lockman's court decided in a minute and
a half some questions which two women
have been quarreling over and disputing at
law about for several months. Thomas
Lilly, who lately lived on Baltimore ave-
nue., three miles north of Brightwood, was
suffering in his last illness and desired the
care and nursing of a woman. He entered
into a contract with Sarah A. Woods for
such services. She agreed to take care of
him and he agreed in the contract that
all his personal property should become
hers at his death, she to pay the expense
of his burial. Lilly died and then his niece.
Mary r.. Strattan, appeared and demanded
possession of the goods. She had Mrs.
woods arrested on a charge of malicious
trespass. the offenSe consisting of the kill
ing of two chickens left by Lilly. Mrs.
Woods was acquitted and then Mrs. STRAIT
tan took forcible possession of the prop
erty in dispute and carted it away from
the hcNSe on Baltimore avenue.
The next step was the suit which was
disposed of yesterday. Mrs. Woods brought
suit against Mrs. Strattan to recover pos
money. The defendant asked for a Jury
trial and the jury decided the case for
the plaintiff in less than two minutes.
Mrs. S~trattan has also to answer to a
charge OF obtaining goods by false pretense
which is pending against her in Magistrate
Hablchs court, growing out of her pos
session Of the goods in dispute. The prop
erty consists Of household goods, a horse
and wagon, some chickens and a pig.

bethought himself OF a revolver he saw

when they moved FROM the farm into

his curiosity sufficiently to see K he
could break the revolver and load j.,

Louisiana Levees Which Have
Nobly Withstood the Strain
Finally Break. VI
Water Pouring Through a Gre
vase Twelve Hundred Feet
Wide at Biggs.
The Town of Delta Almost Sub.
merged Damage Is
Enormous.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 19.-The crisis
has arrived in Northern Louisiana.
The mighty force Of nature has won
the fight. At 10 o'clock p. M, the
workers on the levee at Biggs, four
miles below Delta, La, were Mortified
to see a sudden bulge in their embank-
ment. A small yellow stream began to
trickle through the aperture and a
moment later there was a crash. The
Louisiana main levee system had at
last succumbed to the fearful onslaught
Of the Mississippi river. A general
alarm was sounded, and the inhabit-
ants of the vicinity began moving their
most valuable effects.
In 80 minutes, the crevasse had in
creased in size from a dozen feet %
yards. and the water is pouring through
the opening with fearful velocity.
There is a strip of swamp about two
miles wide Immediately behind the
levee where the break occurred, and
beyond that are many of the finest
| plantations in Northern Louisiana.
Unless the crevasses can be stopped the
overflowed area will include the lower
half of Madison parish, and all OF
| Tensas and Concordia parishes. The
water will then flow into the Tensas
| river, and should that stream prove its
inability to carry the great volume OF
water into the main channel, the
| flooded area will extend to FRANKLIN
and o part Of Catahoula parish and
take the fifth district levee where the
, board had concentrated nearly 1000
men along the line Of the levee adjacent
to Biggs, this strip having been re-
garded as one of the weakest points in
the entire system. The fertile lands
that will be inundated are in the high
est state Of cultivation and the loss will
be tremendous.
At 10 80 a. m. the town Of Delta is
more than half under water, and its
inundation will be entire before dark.
Rapidly Widening.
VICKsBURG, Miss, April 10. The
United States steamer Meigs arrived at
/ p. m. from the Biggs crevasse, with
Mr.. Maxwell and Assistant Engineer
H. B. Thompson on board. They report
the break 500 feet wide at 8 a. H.,
1900 feet wide at 10 80 a. m.
