Narrow Escape.

A few days ago at the home of Chas
r. SoWell at State Line a very seriou,
disaster was ayerted by the forethough'
of Mrs. Sowell. Now the fact is tina
Mrs. Sowell is n of the very neatest
and best housekeepers in the country
anywhere. Mr.. Sowell was out in the
field and Mrs. Sowell had just returned
from a visit. She had changed her
clothing and placed the garments dis
robed carefully away in the closet. Soon
afterward a little boy recently adopted
in the house called Mrs. Sowell' s atten-
ton to the fact that he smelled some
thing burning. A search was made at
nee and when Mrs. Sowell opened the
closet door the blaze from the burning
dress she had discarded shot out. With
extraordinary presence of mind Mrs.
Sowell closed the door instantly and
ran for a bucket of water, and returned
in time to extinguish the flames. The
facts proved hat her clothing had
caught when changing at the fireplace
and that the dress was put away afre
without being discovered. The house
was not only saved by Mrs. Sowell's
good sense, but she was fortunate in
not sustaining personal injury from the
fire. The family clothing was nearly
all burned.

now investigating the publication OF
alleged lihelous articles in the New

Charles =. Taft, Douglas Robinson and
William Nelson Cromwell with the
Panama canal purchases.
Secretary Root will appear before
the jury at noon, which will necessi-
tate his leaving the regular semi
weekly cabinet meeting before 1t Is
concluded Senator Knox said that
he had not been asked to bring any
particular books or papers with him
and that he had no idea what informa-
ton the grand jury would demand OF
him
Assistant United States Attorney

Of District Attorney Baker, his assist

The impression remains strong that
an indictment will be returned from
this jurisdiction, but all efforts to OBJ
tain any information either from the
district attorneys office or the de-
partment of justice were in vain.
