FOUR MEN DROWNED.
Hickman Has a Sad Independence
Day-6ost capslzes.

About three O'Clock Saturday after
noon, July3, a boat containing nine
men, was caught in a binding rain
and wind storm, one-half mile above
town, the boat swamped and four mer
one white man and three negroes
went down to a watery grave. The
storm, which did considerable dam
age here, came up suddenly, and the
men In the Inflated boat were caught
in the middle of the Mississippi river
without warning.
j. II. White, with seven other men,
started to the steamer Liberty TO put
man aboard. and after putting him
aboard brought back two negroes
from the steamer, making nine in the
boat. which was overloaded.
They saw 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. The waves rolled high
and fast, turning their skiff over
and over, the men losing their hold,
grasping each other and every stick
and oar. and in desperation clinging
to everything.
1t was a desperate fight TO keep
the men from drowning each other.
There were six whites and three me-
gros. the white men having a desper-
ate fight to keep the negroes from
drowning them.
The storm ragged some thirty min
utes. The men were almost ready
to give up. George and Fred Wise
man, two fishermen here, got to
them as soon as they could brave the
waves and the storm, but the three
negroes and one white man went
down before they could reach them.
The white man. win Grow. was a
good swimmer, but one of the negroes
got a death clutch around his neck
and never let go, taking him down
with him. Time after time the 9TH
er negroes got a grip on the whites,
but they fought them off. and when
the skiff reached them they were
nearly exhausted and about ready to
give up.
The accident occurred one-half mile
above town. and the survivors float
ed on down in front of the business
section before they were rescued
Hundreds of people were watching
them from the shore. but unable to
help them. Repeatedly the men went
down, but they grabbed the skiff and
each other as they came up.
J. +. White. an old man. owner of
the skiff, kept his presence of mind
and tried to reason with the negroes.
