NARROW ESCAPE OF

Memphis, Tenn, April s.-Two hun

miles south of Helena, Ark, yesterday.
l.. Archdal,e the foreman, told of the
hairbreadth escape of himself and his
crew today.
IT was on the angle when the break
started" says Archdale. "T saw the
earth work going and shouted to my
men. We ran and in another moment
there was a terrific roar. When we
looked back the flood was racing in

force of the waters rush was ire

800 feet in width and the velocity of
the inflow seemed to be gaining. 1t

those inperiled. A hundred or more
panic-stricken negroes were taken
from a government barge moored to
the bank. Later motor launches went
irto the flood and rescued number of
farm hands from the roofs of their
cabins. from the trees and the peaks
of knobs which were above the water.
The work of caring for the refugees
tenatized. Tents and supplies have
been received at the important CEN

In portions of Critten county, Arkan-

persons are believed to remain ma

arrive today at Marion. Some of them
told of narrow escapes. One small
farmer probably owes his life to a

On Thursday evening. April 18th
before Judge Henry Bellinger, at the
opera house, Mr.. George Hervey, a
we'll known and highly respected citi-
zen Of this city, will stand as defend
ant in a breach of promise suit
brought by one of Pensacola's fair
daughters
Judge Bellinger says the case is one
Of the most interesting that has ever
been tried before him while Judge W.
B. Sheppard and Col. Newton, the law
yers for the respective parties, agree
that it Is one of the most complicated
IN which they have ever been retained.
The defendant in this startling case
offers for his defense conspiracy"
He says that well known parties have
conspired with Mr.. J. H. Smithwicl5
and others, for the purpose of damag-
ing his (the defendant's) reputation.
We cannot vouch for the truth of
such statements. but 1t is said by
those in position to know, that from
the opening of the court until the
close of the case the audience will be
kept keyed up to the point of convul-

Wit pathos, eloquence, laughable To-

conducted with mock dignity and
without the shade of offense to refined
tastes, the mock court trial will be an
event Of unusual interest.

UNDERWOODOR
HARMON WOULD
MEAN DEFEAT
WEST FLoRIDlAN SAYS ONLY A
PROGRESSIVE CAN SWEEP THE
COUNTRY THIS TIME NEED
CHAMP CLARK FOR SPEAKER.

Among the many DeFuniak residents
who took advantage of the excursion
coming to Pensacola yesterday was
Capt. H. P. Lason, who enjoyed very
pleasant day in the Deep Water City.
Capt. Lason is close student OF ma
tiona1 politics and has contributed
some strong articles to The Journal on
the evils of the present currency sys-
tenn.
Capt Lason has made special
study Of the money situation of the
country and is specially impressed
with Champ Clark for the stand he
has taken In opposition to the Aldrich
currency bill, which he thinks to be
one of the greatest evils ever at
tempted to be forced upon a. free peo-
pie. While he is great edmirer or
the Missourian and feels that he would
make a good president, he believes
that the speakership is scarcely less
important than the presidency and
that the country would do well to
keep him there and elect Wilson prest-
dent
Speaking of the presidential candi-
dates Capt Lason says he does not
believe for a moment that the people
of the south are going to be taken
in by the schemers who are working
for Harmon by attempting TO fight
Wilson with Underwood.
The people throughout the country
want reform, he says, and either VIII
son or Clark will stand a chance OF
winning, but the nomination of either
Harmon or Underwood would mean
another Judge Parker fiasco. Capt
Lason's old home is in South Dakota
and he says that the progressive
spirit is there and in the north and in
the south With Wilson president and
Clark speaker of the house he thinks
the country would be in safe hands
and that prosperity and contentment
would prevail throughout the land.

APPROXIMATELY $500 PEOPLE
TO BE FED AT WCkSBURC

Washington, April 8.-Approximately
$500 refugees at Hickman, KY, must
be fed. according to an estimate tele-
graphed to the war department today
by Captain Logan of the quartermas-
ter's department. He says about half
of this numbe~ are being fed by the
city. Twenty thousand rations are
due there today. The principal trouble
at Tiptonville, Tenn, according to a
report from Major Normoyle, is the
lack Of forage. He requests 100000
pounds of hay and $4,000 pounds Of
corn. There are about 1000 head Of
stock to be fed.
The department has sent to Colum-
bus, KY, 10000 rations. with 10000
pounds of hay; to New Madrid, Mo,
10000 rations and to Caruthersville,
Mo, 1000 retions. In addition there
were sent large amounts Of lime and
crude oil and a number OF army field
ranges.

mer is placing the fertility of his land
on the market in the form of grain
