Horse in the Bayou.
Special to The Sentinel.


Henry PARKS and a Mr.. SIM
mons, who were moving from
Newport, seven miles east of
here, to Franklin parish where
they had recently bought farms.
came to Buckoo bayou last Fri
day morning and found the
swamp flooded and the bridge
across the stream floating, caused
from the recent heavy rains.
They were advised by citizens
who knew the swamp to strike
camp an wait for the water tc
fall, but they ignored the advice
and began to cross at once. Two
of the wagons went safely over
the bridge but when the third Que
was near the center of the stream
the bridge gave way and let team,
wagon, Mr.. Parks and family into
swift current where the water
was twenty feet deep and fifty
yards wide. After much effort
Mr.. Parks saved his family, but
IN doing SO he bad to abandon his
team with the result that one OF
his horses, valued at $3.50, was
drowned. The wagon and load
of household goods are yet at the
bottom of the stream and the
movers are camped on the bank
waiting for the water to fall.

Passenger Train
and Freight Are Wrecked
Near Palisade, Nevada
FIVE COACHES ARE
THROWN FROM RAILS
Meager Details of Disaster
Believed to Be Due to Mis-
understanding Of Signals

SACRAMENTO. Dec 22-Fifty pas
sengers were hurt this afternoon in a
head-on collision between a special
passenger train and a freight train
near Palisade. New. The passenger
train was several hours late and was
speeding along to make up the time
when the wreck occurred. No definite
news OF the accident could be learned
at the Sacramento offices of the COM
pany, as the wires were not working
properly. It is not known whether any
OF the passengers or members of the
train crews were killed.
The wrecked passenger train was
due in this city at 1850 o'clock today
and the accident happened at o'clock
IN the afternoon. The latest report
from Palisade. which is eight miles
from the place where the wreck oc-
Cured, is that both trains were
ditched and the engines totally de-
molished Most Of the passengers who
were injured were in the smoker and
the first day coach. Five of the coaches
on the passenger train left the tracks
and the rails were torn up for 100
feet
Palisade is on the Salt Lake division
and four miles from Elko. New, on the
Oregon Short line.
From the little that could be dis
cerned from the dispatch the wreck
occurred while the freight train was
taking a siding to let the passenger
train pass The signals were misun-
derstood and the two trains came to-
gether with a crash which threw al
most all the cars from the rails.

PERIL
HIS SUBJECT
SPECIAL p1srArcH TO THE CALL.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-Attorney
General Bonaparte delivered striking
address at the Academy of Music last
night, the occasion being the gradual
ing exercises Of the Pierce School Mr..
Bonaparte's subject was Peace and
Armament" and the fact that he had
so recently held the navy portfolio
added force to his words. Among other
things he said:
New York could be reached today
by a powerful hostile army in one
fourth and San Francisco in one-half
the time needed by any probable enemy,
under the most favorable circum-
Stances. to reach the most exposed
great capital of Europe.
"An American may be as good a
patriot as our land can show and yet
sigh for our early days of safety
like the ostrich. he refuse to own what
his eyes would show him; if he refuse
to open them to a fact. namely. that for
US the days of obscurity and isolation
are gone forever and safety must be
sought elsewhere, he abdicates his rea-
son and imperils his country.
Il bespeak. then, of all thoughtful
and patriotic citizens their aid to my
successor in the great department of
our Federal Government but lately in
my keeping. and to his colleagues. in
the administration of the service, and.
most of all. to the commander-in-chi
of our forces on land and sea under
the constitution, in assuring our coun-
try's peace by maintaining her strength
for war;
IT ask for the Congress a hearty sup
port from public opinion in a liberal
provision for the national defense"

De RAY[AN's DEATH
STILL PUZZLES
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga secret love
story. which caused her to fee the
domains of the Czar, a mad fnfatuation
for a Russian nobleman. may be be-
hind the mystery revealed by the death
of Nicholai de Raglan. who has been
formally declared to have been wom-
an. The full story behind the mascu-
Consulate clerk will probably be re-
vealed in the Probate Court. In the
last will made by De Raglan reference
is made to the thirteen-year- old boy
living at the home of Mrs Anna de
Raglan, 500 California avenue, as my
beloved son..
The Probate Court will demand proof
of death. and 1t will be impossible to
prove that a dead woman is the dece-
dent unless the secret is told The
court will also demand proof of kim
ship. 1t will be impossible to show
Harry George de Raglan to have been
the beloved SON. OF a woman who
masqueraded through life as a man
after the secret birth of child which
caused her to leave the roof of her
parents and her fatherland and hide
her past under the uniform of the
Chicago huzzars. unless the veil is torn
and the past revealed.
De Raglan reached America thirteen
years ago and was given employment
in the Consulate Office of Baron Won
Schlippenbach. The child, Harry
George de Raglan. is a few months past
thirteen years of age. He has the face
and eyes of De Raglan. The will shows
that Mrs" Anna de Raglan was the
dead secretary's confidante. as it pro-
vides that "she shall prepare my body
for burial, and the ceremonies shall be
private" few hours before De Ray
Ian died she asked that Mrs" de
Raglan be sent for.
The instrument makes the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank trustee and
provides that all the property shall go
to the son when he shall be twenty one
years Of age.

chamber session Of court tonight Mrs.
James G. BlainS Jr. was granted a de-
cree of divorce from the scion of the

the Dakota courts for release from
him. The case was rushed to permit
Mrs. Blaine to catch a train for Wash
ington. D. c., to spend Christmas with
her parents, Rear ADMIRAL and. Mrs.
Philip Hichborn.
Perhaps no other case of wide inter-
est has been '.railroaded with great
er speed in the divorce courts of this
State than this Blaine action. Two
weeks more than six months ago the
pretty and witty Mrs. Blaine. known
and admired In national capital soci-
ETY. as the "heliotrope BELLE" because
of her affecting that color. started
West with the avowed purpose of get
ting a divorce. The six months resi-
dence was scarcely up when the case
was called, being brought here for pri-
vacy. Owing to delayed train Gov
ernor-elect Crawford of this State
counsel for Blaine. did not arrive until
o'clock Judge Smith agreed to hold
a night session, the case began at {
o'clock, and the happy woman, free
again, departed on the o'clock train.

'HUGLEsS' DANCING
IS LATEST MODE

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Hugless" dane
ing and "waterless" swimming are to
be taught in the Chicago public schools
The 10000 pupils will balance forward
and back, trip through the steps OF
the stately mazurka, glide gracefully
into waltzes and two-steps, trip
through polkas or dash over the floor
in an old-fashioned gallop. But they
will trip, glide and dash alone. No
youthful arm will be allowed to belt
the girlish waist and they won't even
know that they are dancing, because
in the curriculum the "hugless" dane
ing is catalogued as fancy steps"
AS for the swimming" the pupils
will be allowed to hang themselves
from flying hickory rings and go
through the motions of swimming in
mid-air.
Beginning with the opening of the
public schools for the winter time on
January 2 the course of study is to
be enriched by the introduction OF the
''hugless" dancing and the "waterless'
swimming.

SOUTH DAKOTA IS
SPEEDY SHIP

SANTA BARBARA, Dec 22.-The
new cruiser South Dakota passed her
final tests successfully today. a four
hours endurance run being completed
with hardly an incident to mark the
run. Both Chief Engineer Gardner Of
the Union Iron Works. who was In
charge of the cruiser during the Official
tests. and members of the trial board
stated that the South Dakota had lived
up to their highest expectations.
During straightaway run of four
hours held in Santa Barbara Channel
today the South Dakota averaged 2224
knots an hour. her engines turning at
an average speed of 125.235 revolutions
minute.
The channel was like n1illpond and
the weather was absolutely clear. In
less than half an hour after her return
the ship was or on the return trip to
the Golden Gate.
1t was one of the speediest trials ever
recorded. the cruiser being in port only
trine over forty-eight hours.
Lieutenant Commander Coonts, re-
corder of the trial board. said:
The ship did what was expected Of
her and a little more. and I have no
doubt had 1t been necessary to hit up a
higher speed she could have done so at
any time during todays endurance
run"

ATTACK CHARTERS
Of RAILROADS

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 22.-The Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumbermen stated to-
day that the lumber and shingle man
ufacturers Of the Facihc Coast have all
ready under way steps looking to an
application for receivers for certain
railroads.
It is admitted that the properties are
perfectly solvent, but the attack is to
be made on the ground that the roads
have forfeited their charters through
insufficient service.
The interests back OF the movement
have prepared elaborate data showing
delays in transit and losses to shipping
through failure to receive cars
