Almost ever Steamship

Almost ever steamship disaster
brings out the astonishing fact that a
large percentage of the male passen-
gers, and, alas, many of the sailors and
other employees cannot swim. Moth
Ing so adds to the panicky feeling at
such times as the consciousness that
one is at the mercy of the waves. On
the other hand, good swimmer has
nothing to fear and can keep cool and
give confidence to others. And it is
a matter of wonder where those men
are reared who cannot swim. At this
season of the year the docks Of all port
cities and towns are lined with urchins
and young men who can swim, beach
resorts and swimming baths are
crowded with them, as are the lake
and river banks INLAND, No village

a disagreement in the jury. The jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for tht long delay. He
was told that eleven jurors had agreed
but the twelfth stood alone.
The court admonisned the lone juror

On Monday the two negroes met
Searcy and his brother in a store in
St. Charles and the difficulty was re-
newed. One of the negroes, without
warning, struck both the Searcy boys
over the head with table leg, rem
dering them unconscious and fractur'
ing their skulls, one of them to such
an extent that he may die. Deputy
Sheriff James Fitzpatrick attempted an
arrest and he, too, was knocked down
The negroes then gathered and de-
fed the officers, declaring that no
white man could arrest them"
Their demonstrations aroused the
fears of the citizens Of st. Charles,
and they telephoned to DeWitte, a
neighboring town, for a posse. P. A.
