REeKLEsssEss OF PARralOoss.

An extraordinary partridge story
comes from Conington. Hunting
don. England. A lady was reading
IN her sitting room when. 10 her con-
sicrnation, a brace Of partridges
dashed through the window. They
broke two panes Of glass but were
secured before doing further dam
age. II is supposed they were be-
ing pursued by a hawk, no guns be-
ing out Al the time.
Partridgcs look backward in
flight and are frequently injured or
killed by telegraph wires. Some
time ago q partridge dashed into the
thick lookout glass Of an engine on
the Great Eastern railway near Ely
and actually smashed il. while il is
no unusual thing in Cambridgcshire
and Norfolk for them 10 ~ into
railway carriages.

The Landslide in Hickman.

Hickman has experienced an I'M
usual incident the past week, on ac-
count Of the recent rains. The
place in the street. opposite the
residence Of Mr.. Gene Naylor. which
has heretofore given so much trouble
in weather similar TO that which We
have been having for the past two
weeks, has sunk again. The place
at the r. Brown property. just
west Of the former named place has
sunk again, both places cutting the
side walk into. the latter TO such an
extent as TO render the walk useless,
the sunken place leaving hole six
feet deep. The place opposite Mr..
MAYORS has not yet sunk enough to
render the walk useless.
The property between Moulton and
Carroll streets. just north Of Mr.. ].
w. BANDS and which was recently
purchased from. A. A. Faris by T.
d. Thomas, experienced a calamity.
the like Of which has never before
been seen In Hickman. AS is known
this property is m the hillside, and
the hill very steep. The rains so
saturated the earth that it began to
slip. and the entire front yard.
fence. trees, and the entire hill
slipped down, down, down. The
first morning after the slide il was
thought that il would stop when il
got TO Carroll street, but the next
day proved this supposition no. 10 be
so for il slowly but surely crawled
across the street. entirely blocking
traffic. The earth crumbled back to
the foundation Of the house, part
OF which was taken away with the
slide. The situation was so APP
palling that Mr.. Thomas very readily
moved his furniture and family to
another house. We understand Mr..
Thomas will tear the building down
and use the timber to build a new
residence elsewhere.
The tenant house, owned by B. 7.
Davis, and occupied by Henry
Williams, a negro, just at the rear
II the Presbyterian Church.. ex-
perienced a like calamity, although
not quite so serious. The house was
built at the base Of the hill. and when
A huge mass Of earth slipped and
came down upon the rear Of the
house, il pushed it several feet over
he brink Of another hill. The chin
ney fell, and ii is said, furniture vas
knocked down in the house. Il look
ed like knowing time" to the oocu-
pants at the time but no one was
hurt.
The rains have also put the streets
n a deplorable condition.

r. T. Tyler in Washington.

The following bit Of Washington
news may be Of some interest to our
readers. although a week old. Il
was crowded out last week:
To straighten out a levee tangle
In Southwest Kentucky and West
Tennessee has been passed up TO war
department officials by r. T. Tyler
Of Hickman. KY. president Of the
state levee board Of the ReeIfoot
district.
When Capt. Connors Of the U. S.
engineering corps let contracts for
work in the Reelfoot district. Mr..
Tyler bid on Two sections and after
wards subtle, one Of the contracts,
he remaining responsible for the
work. Under the terms Of the con-
tract Capt. connors. il seems, was
10 exercise a sort OF supervisory con-
troll over the work.
Later Mr.. Tyler asked permission
TO put enough men and teams to work
to complete the contract before the
spring rise Of the Mississippi river
IN 1907. as the high water Of that
season would likely damage the
fresh work. Capt. connors. il is
said. would not agree 10 this. where
upon Mr.. Tyler sought permission
to delay commencement Of the con-
tract until 1908. Capt. Corners
again objected. urging that the work
be started without further delay.
About 1000 feet Of the middle
section was completed. hut Capt.
Connors has refused to accept the
work until the levee shall have been
tied at one end. The levee now
stands at Mr.. Tyler's risk. Il is
claimed that the contract provided
for the acceptance Of the work when |
1000 feet was finished. Mr.. Tyler
appealed TO the secretary OF war for
relief and an opinion is expected any
lay.
