4 TERRIBLE NIGHT EXPERIENCE
One Man Drowned and Two Narrowly
Escape Same Fate.

Swanton, April 1s.--While fishing in
the Mississquoi river Saturday night,
David Lafar was drowned, and William
Brow and Lester Martin narrowly es-
capped death. After taking their re-
spective positions, William Brow in the
second seat at the oars, Iafar on the
third seat, and Martin, who wore hip-
boots, stood on the shore ready to
push off at the word. In so doing
his weight, together with the very swift
current from the rapids, capsized the
boat. The light from the moon en-
abled the men to see each other, and
Immediately William Brow struggled
for the skiif, which he succeeded in
reaching. Martin, in the meantime, be-
ing good swimmer had reached the
boat, and was clinging to it, when it
was noticed that LafaF was struggling
to save himself on the side OF the boat,
but the three men had now become
soaked with water and all being on
the same side, the boat began to turn
over and over. Not word was spoken
Dy Iafar but he became exhausted and
seizing Brow by the coat sleeve of the
right arm chung to him for dear life.
The boat had now floated down just
below the mill, and Martin kicked his
boots of and swan for the shore for
help, shouting as he ran through the
bridge. Brow still endeavoring TO save
the life Of Lafar, tried one more to
make him hold on to the edge Of the
boat, but already his friend had sue
cnmbed and was now floating on the
water beside the boat, dead. Never
theless Brow held Lafar by the hair
for more than five minutes, after he
was sure he was drowned. Not able
to save himself, he chung to Lafar much
longer, and BY this time believing that
Martin was drowned also, Brow dropped
his friend, who was Immediately carried
to the bottom by the current. Brow now
reached the government yacht that was
tied to the dock and here making the
last struggle for life, he reached the
yacht, and clinging to the rudder was
about to give uPwhen George Hawley,
who was warned by Martin, came to
his rescue.
The body Of Lafar was found Sun
day morning by Eugene Desc about
$3.50 o'clock III about thirteen feet of
water, not far from the place where
Brow dropped II.

Fight Against Trusts in Texas Ends
in Smoke.

Austin, Tex, April is. The fight in
augurated in the Texas Legislature
against the Standard Oil company and
the so-called beef trust with such a
flourish of trnmpets has come to naught.
The Decker bill, which contained pro-
visions intended to prevent the merg-
ing of oil corporations, died a natural
death in the House after having passed
the Senate.
The bill appropriating $4,000 to en-
able the attorney general to employ a
force of detectives to investigate the
operations of the beef packers IN Texas
also failed to pass, and the Joint legis-
lative committee which was charged
with the duty Of investigating the beef
trust passed out Of existence with the
adjournment of the regular session. It
accomplished nothing Of any moment.

Kent knew he was skating on the
thinnest of ice, but his love for Elinor
made him fearless Of consequences.
IF you don't know without being
told, it proves that your money has
spoiled you to that extent 1t Is be-
cause you have no right to entrap
Miss Brentwood into an obligation
that would make her your debtor for
the very food she eats and the clothes
she wears. You will say she never
need know: be very sure she will
find out, one way or another; and she
would never forgive you."
"Um," said Ormsby, turning visibly
grim. "You are frank enough-to draw
it mildly. Another man in my place
might suggest that 1t isn't Mr.. David
Kent's affair.""
Kent turned about and caught step
again.
'I've said my say-all Of 1t" he re-
Joined stolidly. "We've been decently
modern up to now, and we won't go
back to the elemental things so late in
the day. All the same, you'll not take
1t amiss II I say that I know Miss
Brentwood better than you do"
Ormsby did not say whether he
would or would not, and the talk went
aside to less summary ways and means
preservative OF the Brentwood for
fumes. But at the archway of the
Camelot club, where Kent paused,
Ormsby went back to the debatable
ground in an outspoken word.
81 know pretty we'll now what there
Is between us. Kent. and we mustn't
quarrel IL we can help It," he said.
"Tf you complain that didn't give you
fair show. I'll rotort that didn't
dare to. Are you satisfied"
mo" said David Kent; and with
that they separated.
