FOUR MEN ARE DROWNED.
During Fierce Wind and Rain Storm
at Hickman, KY

Hickman, KY, July 3.-During a
terrific storm here this afternoon, four
men were drowned in the Mississippi
river, the waves and wind capsizing
their skiff. j. E. White, with seven
other men, pulled to the steamer Lib
erty to put man aboard, after which
they brought back two negroes from
the steamer, making nine in the boat.
They saw that they were caught in the
storm and threw their cargo of corn.
coal oil and groceries in the river, but
the high waves and wind capsized their
boat, turning the skiff over and over.
The men losing their hold, grabbed
each other, every stick and oar, and in
desperation; clinging to everything,
the six white men having a desperate
fight to keep the negroes from holding
on to and drowning them.
George and Fred Wiseman, fisher
men, got to them as soon as they could
brave the waves and storm, but the
three negroes and one white man went
down before they could reach them.
