NARROW ESCAPE
Came Near Drowning Near St. Louis
Last Sunday.

Hiram Moore, formerly Of Mexico,
now Judge elect of the Court Of
Criminal Correction of St. Louis, had
a morrow escape from drowning near
st. Louis last Sunday.
Judge Moore left st. Louis Saturday
to join a party Of hunters composed Of
Justice Kleiber, Constable Louis
Guion. VIM. Flynn, Thomas Loeb and
Ford Cooms. Sunday morning, while
rowing along on the st. Francis, his
boat was caught in an eddy in the
middle Of the stream and upset in
about 30 feet OF water.
KICKED OFF HIS HEAVY BOOTS.
Weighted down by heavy rubber
boots, Judge Moore exerieneed great
difficulty in swimming. To add to the
seriousness Of his situation the boa:
rapidly drifted away from where be
was ti~oundering in the water. He sue
ceeded in kicking OF his boots, how
ever, and swan after the boat. He
reached II none TO soon.
sEizKD WITH CRAMPS.
As Judge Moore grasped hold OF the
boat be was seized with cramp in the
legs. Seated on the bottom OF the
overturned boat, he managed to pad
die his way 10 shore, reaching land
after yer half an hour spent in the
water.
None Of his compaions witnessed the
accident, and they we're not aware Of
IL until the Judge walked into camp
barefooted and half frozen from the
water which was then forming into
ice on his clothes.
No SERIOUS EFFECTS.
Judge Moore returned TO ST Louis
Tuesday morning. He says that ex-
cept for a severe cold he is none the
worse as a result Of his experience.
He admits that he had a close call
from death.

WILL BE FOR H. B. MILLER.
Usage County Convention Date Fixed
For March 4

The Usage county Republican conven-
ton will be held on March f. The call
was issued at a meetinp of the county
central committee Tuesday. 1t will
elect delegates to both the state and
Fourth district congressional conven-
tiOns. The state delegation will be
unit in working for the nominate of
Senator II. B. Miller for governor, and
the only contest that is probable will
be over the congressional delegation.
This may not develop into fight in
the convention, because Senator Miller
may have the delegation divided among
the congressional candidates in order
to avoid any fight on him from the OPP
ponents of Congress nan Miller in the
Fourth district.
The only county that would take ex-
ception to this action would be Morris.
the home of Congressman Miller, and
H. B. Miller cannot hope for that dele
cation because it has already been
named by and instructed for Harry
Richter for governor.
The Morris county convention was
held yesterday, and Richter was pres
ent and named the delegation to the
state convention, which he will use in
his interest. The congressional dele
cation was also left for Congressman
Miller to name when he gets around
tn
