Fatal Plunge at Cumberland Falls,
"kentuckys Niagara"

DANvnLE, KY, March o6.-Louis
Meadows and Marsh Wyatt, of Mead
owville. had a narrow escape from a
plunge over Cumberland falls, "Ken-
tucky's Niagara" They were in charge
of a raft containing $4,000 shingles, and
at the point where the raft was to have
been turned toward shore to escape
the rushing current leading to the
falls it became unmanageable, and
the men were forced TO jump into
the stream. They had terrific battle
with the current, but a lucky chance
threw them into an eddy, and some
men from the shore fshed the rafts-
men up almost exhausted. The raft
and its burden of thousands of shingles
struck the falls, shot out and fell to
the water, nearly 100 feet below, where
the structure went to pieces and was
loo.
