Many Versions of Accident.

Many Versions of Accident.
Various versions of how the accident
occurred are in circulation. The gen
orally accepted one, however, was that
the barge. heavily loaded with sailors
and marines returning from shore
leave, was towed into the heavy swells
OF a passing steamboat. Rising for a
moment like a cork, the barge then
plunged into the trough between two
waves, one Of which broke over the
side and swamped it. Instantly the
chOppy water became dotted with
struggling, shouting men, intermingled
with floating packages, suit cases and
personal belongings that the men were
taking back to the ship. The whistle
of the little steam launch that was
towing the barge rent the air with
sharp, staccato calls for assistance.
Old river men said they were not
surprised, for when the accident oc-
Cured they declared, the tide was
running up stream like a mill race
with a brisk wind out of the south
west pushing it along at even faster
clip. This would take the bodies far
beyond the cen of the disaster.
On board the flagship Louisiana,
Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a
court of inquiry to determine the ex-
act cause of the accident and place
the responsibility. A number of the
men who were aboard the Inflated BOAT
told their stories, and a report of the
findings of the court when completed
will be forwarded to the navy depart
ment.
r. Kart, n of the men supposed
to be drowned, is credited with hay
ing saved four men. Kart was a big
fellow and a good swimmer. In the
water he held up two men until life
~preServers came his way. He gave
these to the weaker two and then
swan around and found two other
men who were exhausted and sink
ing. These two he held up until they
were picked up by a boat. Still regard
less of his own safety, he did not at
tempt to get aboard, for fear of over
loading it. Nobody seems to have
seen him afterward. The account Of
his bravery vas given by his ship
mates.

Straw in the Manure.

Owing to it's abundance, straw is
added to barnyard manure, but it can
be made more serviceable If made
fine with the feed cutter before being
used. While straw may soon rot after
being mixed with manure, yet in
fine condition 1t is much better alb
sorbent and can be forked into the
manure with advantage. When load
ing and spreading manure there Is
a saving of labor even handling that
which is fine, and the manure will be
more valuable because the loss of am.
monia will be arrested by the use
of suitable absorbent materials.
