HER FEARS RELIEVED
Mrs. May Johnson Believed Her Son Had Met Awful Fate in Swamps
 of Louisiana.

Tuesday Mrs. May Johnson of 900 Second street, received a clipping from Dallas, Tex, paper telling of the finding of the body of Ernest Johnson in the branches of tree in a swamp near Palmetto, La. A note was found in the boys hat saying that while fishing from boat in the bayou. alligators had attacked him, forcing him to quit the boat and climb a tree. The alligators main tained their vigil until the boy died of starvation as he lay in the branches of the tree.
 The horror of the fear that came to the heart of Mrs. Johnson can be understood when it is known that her son, Ernest Johnson, month ago went away from home, she knew not where. His father is liv- ing at Elizabeth, La., and with a fear that lead almost to conviction that her son was the victim of this horrible death, Mrs. Johnson set the telegraph wires to work to learn the truth. and Thursday afternoon she received letter from the postmast- CT of Palmetto, in response to her telegram, that cleared away her fears. The letter stated that it was negro boy who was the victim.
 Of course Mrs. Johnson was great ly relieved, but she says she will not rest now until she succeeds in find- ing her son.

 cates the Situation.

MOST PICTURESQUE
 ARKANSAS VETERAN
General R. G. Shaver of Mena Is Center of Attraction in Delegation From This State Served Through
 our War.

Mobile, Ala, April 27.-In all the throngs of veteran warriors now in Mobile there is no more picturesque figure than that brave old fighter, General K. G. Shaver of Mena, who is the center of at traction in the Arkansas delega- tion.
 A plain recital of the deeds which he performed in the Con- federate cause woul1 be as excit- ing as any romance ever written.
 General Shaver organized the Seventh Arkansas from around Batesville in 1861, a regiment which later came to be known as the"Bloody Seventh As colonel of that regiment, he led bis men to Pittman's Ferry, where they were assigned to General Har- dee's command.
 They saw service throughout the war, but it was in the battle of Shiloh that the 'sbloody sew enth' performed its most valiant service.
 The division commander was killed early in the battle and Gen. eral Hindman was then placed in command of the division. As senior colonel of the brigade, Colonel Shaver was placed in command of the brigade. It WIS his skirmishers who fired the first shots in that battle, one of tde bloodiest of the war.
 Colonel Shaver Wounded.
 Four times in that battle Gen. eral Shaver's horse was killed under him. Three times he was struck by fragments of shell and wounded. But he steadfastly re- fused to leave his post until neal the close of the second days fight. ing, he was knocked unconscious by shell exploding rear him and was carried from the field. He still bears the marks of that bat tie, for his left arm is partially paralyzed from the effects of one his numerous wounds.
 General Shaver is now so year: old, but when he is induced 10 re- late some of his experiences ant he again lives in the days of 1861 his mild blue eyes light up witt the fire of battle and he is ono, more the warrior, filled with tn, old, unconquerable spirit of tn, South.
 From Mobile General Shave will go to the battlefield of Shilol to locate the place where the Ar kansas regiments did the hardes fighting and on the ground dcsig mated by him the monument t the Arkansans who fell in tha desperate conflict will be located
