Special to the Daily Progress.
Port Gibson, Aug. 23.-The county
convict contractor Of Claiborne coun-
ty is in lamentable condition which
cannot fail to evoke universal SYM
pathy. He contracted with the board
of supervisors to take and work all
the convlcts at so much per hand, ex-
pecting to realize goodly sum from
the investment. He now complains
that the only convict he has on hand
is a one-legged confederate veteran
instead of the paying assemblage he
had a right to expect. The unprece-
dented mortality of Claiborne county
as shown by the small number OF
prisoners IN his charge, is forum
ate condition for the county, but &
most unfortunate condition for the
contractor.

An Old Man Stays in the
Mire Three Days
BEFORE FOUND AND RESCUED
BY Party of Fishermen Who
Hauled Him Out, But He Died
in a Short While in Horri.
bic Agony.

Helena, Ark, Aug. 22.-While sew
eral men were fishing along the
banks of the river at Modoc, little
landing some twenty miles below
this city Wednesday, their attention
was attracted to place out near the
waters edge, by some one waving at
them. They proceeded to investigate
the matter and found an old man by
the name of Cook mired in the quick
sand, which abounds in that locality.
The men seeing what was the mat
ter, secured ropes and fastened them
around the old mans shoulders and
hauled him out of the mire and onto
safe ground. He was almost beyond
speech, but was able to tell them that
he had been there three days, that he
had run out of water in his tent,
which was located on the river bank
near by, and had started IN the night
to go to the river and get some. and
missing his way, he fell into the
quicksand.
Nobody having passed that way,
he had been in the hot sun without
he had been unable to make those
whom he saw at a distance hear
him, and would probably have gone
to his death in the treacherous sands
butfor the timely arrival of the fish
ermen referred to.
After he had told the above story
in almost whisper, he made anoth-
er request for water. which was Civ
en- him. After drinking he became
unconscious and never rallied, dying
in horrible agony in a short time.
The coroner held an inquest and a
verdict IN accordance with the above
facts was rendered.
Cooks back and body were horribly
blistered, and his features burned by
the sun, showing that he had under
gone great suffering. Nothing is
known of him here, and nobody
seems to have seen him. except in
the little tent he occupied on the riy-
er bank at Modoc. The tent had dis.
appeared when he wss found, and
no trace of 1t is to be found.
His remains will be buried by the
county unless someone shows up tC
take charge of the body.

Days Ago.
BIG SPECULATION IN THE LAND
In Vicinity of Old Dublin Avenue
Drainage Machine.


New Orleans, Aug. 23.-Oil has
been struck in New Orleans.
It is a good flow, and there are
evidences of gusher.
The first traces of the fluid came
up few days ago and every effort Is
being made to keep the discovery a
secret.
Back of the striking of oil there is
a big speculation in land, with nearly
all the vacant property within many
squares of the we'll secured by option.
These options which were all duly
recorded yesterday set upon foot an
investigation and it resulted in the
fact that 'oIl had been struck" IN
good paying quantities, being made
public.
The we'll which is now flowing oil
is in the immediate vicinity of the
old Dublin Avenue drainage ma
chime, nearly alongside of the Jeffer
son protection levee and the inter
section of the Mississippi Valley rail
read tracks. 1t is in the midst OF
truck farms, dairy pasturage and the

ALL OF IT'S POSSESSIONS GO ALONG
Change of Location Due to an An
nouncement by the U. p.
Road.

Lexington, Neb., Oct. 15.-The vii
lage of Benton. few miles from here,
has decided to move. This does not
mean the Inhabitants alone. The build
ings, houses ard stores, besides all the
personal effects, will float down the
Platte river for three miles to n loca-
ton which the village prefers to it's
present one. Nothing will be left be-
hind except the natural scenery, which
was there when the village was built.
The decision to move came with the
announcement of the Union Pacific
railway that Il new town, Darr, con-
tanning n large mill and elevator, would
be established at the point where the
line crossed the Platte river. This is
three miles down stream from thepres-
ent group OF houses called Benton.
Due to a Railroad Announcement
Wien an agent of the Union Pacific
presented the matter in the right light
the citizens CT Benton saw that they
were living in the wrong place and
they decided to move and be in on the
ground floor nf the new town.
