Record Breaking Receipts in North

Chicago, Sept 27.-WHEAT.- The
brisk demand for cash wheat at all
grain centers of this country offset
the record breaking receipts in the
northwest and caused firmness here
today. The market was dragged down
at the start by the phenomenally
large receipts at Minneapolis, Duluth

ments last week from Russia, The
total arrivals of wheat today at the
two northwestern centers aggregated
2,469 cars, which is tie greatest
amount ever received in one day.
Shipments from Russia for the week
were more than seven million bushels

DROWNED IN
 0URCH|TA RIVER YERNA GREENE LOSES LIFE Sad Accident Occurred at Arka-
 delphia Yesterday.
Desperate Efforts to Rescue Growing Lad Prove Innef nefective-Body Recouered
 and Brought to Conway. L

In sight of scores of people and with three men desperately strug- gling to rescue him, Verna J. Greene, the sixteen-year-old son and only child of Prof. and Mrs C. J. Greene of this city was drown- ed in Ouachita river at Arkadel- phia yesterday afternoon at 5:3o o'clock. The whole city was sad dened by the terrible news, which reached here late in the afternoon, and Prof and Mrs. Greene are prostrated by the sad accident.
 The boy was visiting at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Ben Graves, in Arka lelphia, and late in the afternoon went down to the river at the rear of the Ouachita College campus to go in bathing. Twenty five or thirty boys and girls were bathing in the stream at the point where he went into the water, but he passed them and pushed farther toward deep water. He was un able to swim prohciently, and soon
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-07-30

was seen struggling in the deep water and sinking.
 Shouts of alarm attracted three men who were fishing nearby and they plunged into the water to go to the boys assistance. Under taker R C. McDaniels, who ac- companied the body to Conway, was cue of the men and was the first to reach the drowning lad. Handicapped by heavy boots and the struggles of the boy, however, he soon became exhausted and had to make his way back to the shore. E. Hart and Charlie Clark, the two other men, also made des- perate efforts to rescue young Green, and each managed to keep him ahoat for several minutes, but the unfortunate boy, unconscious, doubtless, of wha the was doing, grappled so fiercely with the men that they were unable to get him back into shallow water and with difficulty they loosened hold from him in time ito save their own live
 MT. McDaniels immediately stripped and began diving to re cover the boys body, which sank in water only about 10 feet deep, but it was 20 or 40 minutes before the body was brought to the shore.
 Doctors E. K. Williams and J. C. Wallace worked for long time to resuscitate the boy, but their efforts were ill vain.
 The body, accompanied by Rev. H. M. Bruce, Ben Graves and Un- dertaker McDaniels, was brought to Conway at 10 o'clock this morn ing. The funeral will be held at 5:3o o'clock this afternoon. Ser vices at the family home on Cliff ton street will be conducted by Rev. J. B. Stevenson, pastor of the Methodist church, and ..the burial

HOW PURE WATER

Suggested by Engineer W. D.
 Dickinson of Little Rock.
Intake, He Says, Could be Located in Sand t Considerable Distance From Stream, Thus Fitering Water

Engineer w. D. Dickinson of the firm of Dickinson. Kingsley X Watkins of Little Rock, who has made several visits to Conway in the interest of the proposed system of water ,orks, has forwarded to The Log Cabin Democrat a sketch showing how pure water may te obtained from the Arkansas river. Under his plan the water, instead of being pumped direct from the stream, would be taken from wells sunk to the bottom of the river bed. at distance of ,ooo to 2 1000 from the river bank. In letter 10 this paper Mir. Dickinson says: Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

great extent, and are taking the liber'y of sending a blue print of a rough draft showing our solution of your water problem. With favorable sub soil we could locate our pumping plant at a consider able distance from the river, re- sulting in a saving of pipe, and at the same time obtain satisfactory and potable water without any mechanical or chemical treatment. Argenta has an intake similar to the one.we propose, and the quality of water obtained has always been satisfactory.
 Regar ding your statement as to the saving on insurance, am sat isfied that you are correct, and this argument alone has always been a strong one in favor of water system. The saving in insurance rates in Conway would be consider ably more than the interest on the cost of your plant.
 I hope the enclosed print may be of service to you in interesting your people ill this venture

The commission is be ing represented by James H. liar. rod and William F. Kirby, and the capitol .contractors, Caldwell & Drake, by Judge John w.

 The attorneys for the commits sion are contending no contempt has been committed and the work goes merrily along at the capitol building. Should Judge Marti- neau impose a fine or imprison ment for contempt, Associate Jus tice Wood, of the supreme court will immediately be resorted to and asked to grant supersedeas.
 A decision by the supreme court against it, is apparently about all that will stop the work the com mission is doing on the state capi- tol building.

Evans said he had gone up to the room of Butler on the morning ot the as- sault, and had met Miss Burkhal- ter going up as he came down. He explained his whereabouts sat- isfactorily.
 Attorney Rhoton, for the de- fense, took the young man before the jury and took the description given by Miss Burkhalter after the crime, and showed how much nearer Evans filled the description than Dill, even to the teeth, bit of description which did not fit Dill. He dramatically asked the jury, with a push at Evans so he stood before the body, what would have happened to Evans if he had been arrested first and taken be- fore the girl.
 Dill made a good witness for himself and corroborated the evil dence of those who were put on the stand to prove an alibi for him. Tine most damaging bit of his evil dence was in admitting while on the way to Hot Springs in company with the officers, that he wished the matter could be fixed up with the gui. Attorney Rhu1on brought out the fact this would be natl ural sentiment 10 be expr ssed by a person charged with crime of the character of that for which Dill was being tried, even though he was not guilty, rather tha Il to go to trial The state is offering surrebuttal testimony this morning.

STATES ANSWER
 SURPRISES JUDGE CAPITOL WORK CONTINUES Surprise Sprung in Capitol h.
 junction Proceedings.
Commissioners Adjourned Month Ago, While Governor, Immune from Punish
 ment, Alone is Responsible.

Little Rock, July 30 Special. Unexpected was the answer filed by the states attorneys, James H. Harrod and William F. Kirby, ill the capitol commission contempt proceedings, and Chancellor Mar tinuea adjourned court until after noon, when the case will be fur ther considered. The answer of the state is that the capitol com mission adjourned a month ago and therefore could not be guilty of contempt, but that if there has been a violation of the injunction Governor Donaghey alone is re- sponsible for its violation.
 Going further the answer alleges that the governor of the state IS inn mune from punishment by court. Chancellor Martiueau took these points under consideration and ad- journed court until this afternoon, when the hearing will be contn- ued and the liability of the govern or to prosecution will be argued.
 The work on the capitol build. ing continues the same as usual and no attempt has been made to interrupt 1t. ~
