Attacked by a Lynx.

Last Monday morning, while Murray Carrow, the six year old son of J. A. Carrow of the Big Sandy. was playing in swing in the almond orchard near the house, a ferocious lynx sprang upon him, pulling him to the ground. A life and death struggle now took place between the little fellow and the ani- mal. Taking the lynx by the ear and one foot he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and held it there for a moment, at the same time calling for help. The lynx was biting the boys hands in horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sisters, Josie and Mary, attracted by his cries, arrived on the scene. The animal was now getting the better of the boy when the two young ladies with but their naked hands as weap- Ons gave battle to the DOW ipfuriated brute, and by throwing it to the ground succeeded in holding its paws and head so that it could do no damage and then slowly choked it to death. To overcome the animal in its death strug- gle took all the strength at the com mand of the young ladies, but when it was all over they did not faint or go into mysteries, but proceeded to bind up the wounds of the injured boy. Miss Josie's arm was badly lacerated by the brute's teeth and claws, and the boy shows the effects of his terrible struggle in mangled hand and decorations on the face, head, should CTS and body. His clothes were almost torn from him. The animal was one of the largest of its kind and was very fat, indicating that it was not hunger that drove him to attack the boy. Mr. Carrow came into Kingnan with Mur- ray and Josie Thursday morning and has placed them under the care of Dr.. Ealy for medical treatment. The young ladies should receive the government medal for bravery, for no braver act than this is recorded in the annals of American history. MOhave Miner.

Robert Howard TestiGes Before the
: Industrial Commission.
ADVANTAGE OF WEEKLY PAYMENTS
Southern Cotton Mills Have No
Advantages Over Northern.
MEMBERSHIP UNIONS

Mr.. Robert Howard. ex-secretary of the
National Union of Spinners in the United
States, and ex-state senator of MaSsachu-
setts, appeared before the industrial COM
mission today Mr.. Howard is a veteran
labor leader and spinner, and showed the
greatest familiarity with labor movements
in his business. He proved to be so rapid
a talker as to leave the stenographers
dumfounded, and he was requested several
times to talk slowly.
Mr.. Howard told of the trouble in getting
the weekly payment bill through the Mas
sachusetts legislature. He said the manu-
faeturers VINO opposed the bill claimed that
the movement to secure the weekly pay
ment was phase of socialism, anarchy or
communism but after the law had been
enacted and put in operation they approved
ii. They had claimed that it would increase
drunkenness but it had, he believed, de-
creased the practice of drinking, because
under the old system the men were without
money for long time, and then when they
got their entire months wages they were
apt to squander a large part of it.
The witness told of his own work in favor
of securing a ten-hour law passed by Mas
sachusetts and surrounding states.
mDT,i- estharoorddilnluu cvmbfswgkwykq
In Fall River he said, all the spinners are
in the unions. as are about half OF the Weav-
efs. He said the manufacturers of Fail
River are strongly allied, though they dis
agree among themselves more than do the
various unions among the textile workers.
South Not IA Rival of the North.
Mr.. Howard gave a great deal of testi-
mony to show that the general idea that
southern cotton mills have an advantage
over northern mills is erroneous. He said
the northern spinner with short hours can
produce more than the southern spinner
with long hours, the former turning out
ti,1a 10 Of
duceS the coarSer grades.
He did not think the south gives any real
competition to the northern mill, though 1t
had constantly been claimed that there was
great competition, he said, in order 10 op-
pose a reduction of hours.
Couldn't Swear at the Girl Operatives
The spinners he said, could not be urged
in the south as, they are in the north. a
foreman in the south had told him that if
he should hurry up a girl operative and
swear at her as he could do in the east her
brother would lbe around the next morn
ing with a Winchester on his shoulder to
call him to aseount He. was endeaVorlns
to get a. shorter working houf IN otfef
states inNrdeF that efforts for, still shorter
hours of work in Massachusetts might be
successful. p
In Ma1sachfisetts the workers in the
textile esstabiiShments have no confidence
in the board Of arbitration of the state
and prefer TO .arhitrate with the manufac-
turers through their own unions.

CLAIMS REACH S21. ZOO, 900.
Property Destroyed In Cuba Belong
ing to Americans.

The Department of State has received
claims to the amount of S21 coo 900 on ac-
count of property destroyed in Cuba belong
ing to American citizens and also on ac-
count of injuries sustained by citizens for
which pecuniary indemnity is sought In the
absence of a special provision these claims
would lie against the government of Spain
But the peace treaty expressly provided
that each country, the United States and
Spain, should assume liability for all such
claims preferred by their respective citi-
zens. Therefore, the United States govern
ment is probably chargeable for all the
damages sustained by Americans through
property destroyed in Cuba by either the
insurgents or the Spanish troops and in the
case of some plantations owned by Ameri-
can citizens these losses were very heavy
Though Congress ratified the peace treaty
1t made no provision for the settlement of
these claims, so the State Department is al
present unable to do more than merely
hie them. 1t is the purpose of the depart
ment when Congress meets again, to cali
attention to the treaty obligations assumed
by the United States toward these claim
ants. and to suggest that some means of
settlement be provided, either through n
commission or by reference to the Court of
Claims.

THE CABLE CHESS MATCH.
shOwaiter Beats Atkins and Noight
and: -JacObs Draw.

LONDON, March u.-Play in the inter-
national chess match was resumed at the
Hotel Cecil here this afternoon. with a full
attendance, of, players. There was much
consultation about Wainwright's game,
who 1t was thought would probably lose.
ETehehsrdss position, though strong at
the Opening, may be weakened by the fact
that. owing to the time limit he must
make seven moves in the first ten min
utes, which is looked upon as likely to
affect his play.
Atkins skill in Strengthening his position
was commented upon.
1t was pointed out that If Blackburne
takes pawn he has an evident slight ad-
vantage.
Mills was considered to have a difficult
end game
The general opinion was that at least five
games would result in draws, and the Brit
ish We're confident of holding their ground.
NEW YORK" March 11.-Piay was re-
sumed in the International chess match for
the Newnes trophy today. Shortly after
ward ii was announced that the game at
board No. . had been won by Showalter
over Atkins in thirty-nine moves. Noight
