THREE BOYS
DROWNED
One Attempts to Ride Mule
Across the Tchefuncta.
Is Thrown in Midstream and
Rises Half Hour Later.
Two are Drowned the. Bogue
Falaya While Bathing.
Father Attempts Rescue and
Nearly Loses Life Too.

Wimmick Green, a boy about 18
years of age, employed by Theodore
Paderas, was drowned about 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon four miles
from Covington in slough of the
Tchefuncta river. Green was All
orphan and was Industrious and we'll
liked He was out rounding up the
cattle and attempted to make the
drive across the river, but the re-
cent rains had swollen the steam
much beyond its usual depth. The
mule. he was riding seemed. to fear
the water and became unruly, finally
throwing Green from his back in
mid-stream and probably striking
him with his hoof in the water,
Green's body was not seen to rise
to the surface. This seems to be
the opinion, because he was good
swimmer. His body was recovered
a half hour later.
Green was originally from Chicago,
and previous to his coming to Cow
ington was an inmate of the Home
for Destitute Boys, in New Orleans.
Sunday afternoon Rosseaux Jenk-
ins, eighteen years of age, and his
brother Robert, aged twelve, were
drowned in the Bogue Falaya river
in the presence of their father. at
Mulberry Grove. Mr.. jenkins made
a heroic effort to save his boys, who
were unable to battle with the surg
ing current, but found that he was
unequal to the task. He was barely
able to save himself after his unavail-
ing struggle to reach his boys.
Other reports have 1t that quick
sand held the younger boy, and that
his brother was exhausted in his ef
forts to release him.
The bodies of the boys were re-
covered, one Wednesday and one
Thursday. Both were covered by
the sand in the river.
TEis or. avement falls very heavi-
ly upon Mr.. Jenkins, as the death of
the boys comes closely on other sad
losses in his family. Two years ago
son was shot and killed. Two
months ago his wife was burned in
the fire that consumed his residence.

THE HYMEL|A
CR[VASS[
Break in Levee About Fifty
Miles from New Orleans.
Damage Estimated at About
Twelve Million Dollars.

New Orleans, May 15.-The Hy-4
melia Crevasse, on the west side OF
the Mississippi, about fifty-fivc miles
from the city, was six hundred feet
wide Wednesday afternoon, reported
United States Engineer C. O. Sheriff.,
from Killona. He was unable to
state what steps would be taken to
close the break, but said that steps
would be Immediately taken to crib
the ends to prevent the crevasse
widening.
In the meantime arrangements are
being made locally to send men and
material to the scene and to effect
the rescue of the hundreds who are
bound to be marooned.
Mr.. Chas. H. Farwell, of the firm
Of Milliken & Farwell, large plan
tation owners in the flooded section,
is of the opinion that the gap will
be closed. A break occurred at the
same place in 1908, and although
herculean efforts were put forth It
was not closed until the waters had
receded. The previous gap was 400
feet wide.
The levee at the point of the break
is twelve feet high, about four feet
higher than 1T the time of the previ-
GUS break. Comparing this with the
fact that the river is at least three
feet higher than before, gives rise to
the opinion that the water will In
undate larger section than pre-
viously, and will cover the country
ut greater depth.
The section Of the country affected
is extremely large. The waters will
probably reach as far back as Bayou
Lafourchc and is expected to come
up to the rear of Gretna and Algiers,
! across tho river from New Orleans.
These places, however, are amply
protected by the tracks Of the South
ern Pacific Railroad, which form q
protection levec.
Peter A. Muntz, secretary of the
Orleans Levce Board, communicated

terminals Of the railroad. and ar

Democrats Should Keep in Min,

Three members of the Supreme
Court are to be elected next Novem-
Der, each for a term of ten years, to
succeed Judges Kennish, Ferris and
Valiant, This fact should be kept
paramount in the minds of the
Democratic voters, for by these new
judges the laws of the state for the
coming years will be interpreted. If
we elect men who are in sympathy
with progressive ideas and with the
peoples rights, well and good; but
if judges whose judicial minds have
been trained along monopolistic
and corporation rights lines, the
people will be called to suffer. -

1t is significant fact that in the

falling off in the Republican vote
is noticeable despite the bitter pres

that big number of Republican

Democratic ticket to bust up the

Roosevelt carried Cannons district
at the same time by an equal plu-

While Teddy was president he al
ways backed up Cannon as speaker

Would Save the Dear People.

Teddy and Tafty are going about
saying they are trying to save the
dear people. They will save the
people as Teddy saved them during
his seven years as president when
he did everything to fasten the
trusts and monied powers on them
Not a single law did he champion
or push through to curb these high
waymen, and not a single scalp of
these trusts hangs at the belt of the
great rough rider. OF course every
one acknowledges the poor and mis-
erably weak administration of Mr..
Taft who has aided the corpora
tions and done all he could to pro-
tect them, and who has vetoed
every bill that was intended to
help the public and to take from
these corporations their robber tar
if. Teddy and Tafty are two bright
examples of friends to the people.
So are Aldrich, j. Cannon, Lorimer,
Stephenson, Smoot and Company. -,
