the Hansa and ropes and ladders were
thrown overheard !. Fifty persons were
rescued by the boats. At the same
time the Hansa tried to push the Pri-
mus ashore. but, being of deeper

Gov. Davis pardoned Bob Brady last Saturday. As everybody knows Bob was on the county farm working out a number of fines, for violating the laws in selling liquor. The law abiding citizens of Jonesboro and Craighead county would not object if he would quit, but will he? Nobody believes he will. A great many who profess to be law abiding citizens, signed the petition for his release. How they could do it we can not understand. Brady is certainly lucky to get par doned. It's the third time for the same offense. -Jonesboro Times.

NOT FIRST FATALITY.

The river at this point must be a treacherous one, for two prior fatali- ties by drowning have been recorded there. Only last summer, Walter Harrison was carried under the water by an under current, when within only a few feet of the bank. He too was in swimming, and for three days the river bottom was dragged for miles below, the body being found at last eight miles down stream upon a sand bar.
 About ten years ago, George Cooper, another young fellow, met death under similar circumstances.

Robert P. Fry, the step son of Cap tain John Henderson of Auvergne, was drowned in White river late Thursday afternoon, one mile above Grand Glaize or about even with the old Robinson farm now owned by John H. Keel He had gone in swim ming with two other young men and the exact cause of his death, which produced drowning, is not known. His body has not yet been recovered, though the river for miles below is being dredged.
 By telephonic communication with Dr. c. D. Clements of Auvergne, the INDEPENDENT has been acquainted with the following facts, relative to the sad death of this popular and promising young man.
 For the past two weeks, Robert P. Fry together with Clyde Handel, formerly employed by Heiliger, and Will Chavey also of this city, has been pearling on White river above Grand Glaize.
 On Thursday afternoon, the two boats with which they have been getting out shells, were anchored about one mile above Grand Glaize, when the three young men concluded to take swim. The boats were only a short distance from each other and the three would dive from one boat and swim to the other.
 While they were thus engaged, Fry made a dive and when he came up some distance away, he was observed to be in distress by his companions and called for help. They immediate swan to him, but too late, for he had been carried down and was never seen again. What came upon him cannot be imagined by his compan- ions, unless it were a cramp, which rendered his limbs helpless and swim ming impossible. Others are of the opinion that in diving he became en- tangled in the anchor ropes and was held under water until nearly dead thus accounting for him rising hnt once to the surface. Another theory advanced, for one cannot call it more is that an alligator gar probably in jured him, either by attacking him o1 striking him in trying to escape. This idea is secuted by many however, who claim that the gar is a cowardly fisE and the story highly improbable.
 News of Fry's death, who was about 26 years of age, spread quickly and large parties of pearlers anc other men from that section began al once the work of dredging the river but had not been successful in finding the body up to noon Friday Fol several miles down the stream every effort is being made to find the re- mains, but owing to the fact that the body is bare of clothing, the grappling hooks can accomplish little.

The last carload shipment of berries has been made from Van Buren. Since then there have been local ex- press shipments, but even these have been light. The crop, while a small one, has been a profitable one for the growers, and this should prove an object lesson to them, namely, that berries grown on small scale-every grower a few prove profitable crop, but when carried to extremes, as few years ago, it proves loss.- Van Buren Press.
