JUMPED FROM LIBERTY
And the Jumper Got $500 for His
Perilous Leap.

New York; Rodman Law, steepIe-
jack by profession, biggest fool in New
York." by self-description, and always
willing to try anything once,' leaped
from the uppermost ledge of the torch
of the statue of Liberty with a para
chute, distance of 345 feet.
For $50 feet he dropped at lightning
speed, within six feet of the statue.
The spectators, horror-stricken, feared
that the canvas would never open. In
deed, professional jumpers almost unan-
imously declared that the distance was
too short for the descent to be suffi-
GENTLY checked.

lEGISALTO WITNESS FIGHT
VETERANS IN FISTICUFF AT SOL.
DIERS' HOME.
W. c. Bullock, Former Inmate of Beau.
voir Home, and J. H. Clark Come
to Blows.

Gulfport.--The members of the Mis-
sissippi legislature who visited the state
soldiers home at Beauyoir witnessed
fist fight between two Confederate vet
Grams as the result OF charges made
against the management of the institu-
tion. The belligerents were w. G. Bull
lock, former inmate of the home, and
j. II. Clark, now am inmate of the insti-
tuition
MIR. -,iullock appeared before the Joint
pension committee OF the legislature and
charged, among other things, that the
home was mismanaged, that favoritism
was shown, that some OF the old soldiers
were Disseminated against by the man
agement, and that any veteran who
dared to protest against the system
which he alleged existed ran the risk OF
being unceremoniously expelled FROM the
home and grounds After Mr.. Bullock
appeared before the committee, he met
j. Fl. Clark, another Confederate vet
eran, in front of the main building, who
denounced the charges that Mr.. Bullock
had made against the management and
the home
Clark and Bullock became involved in
a vielent quarrel, which ended in Clark
applying the short and ugly word OF
"lies to Bullock's charges. Bullock re-
taliated with u blow and in another
instant the veterans were hammering
each other with their fists and walking
sticks, when Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo, Repre-
sentatives Boswell, Simpson and Others
rushed in and dragged the warriors
apart, restoring peace.
The fight was the climax of all in
vestigation of the soldiers home by the
pension committee and the committee
on eleemosynary institutions.
The veterans who were satisfied with
existing conditions said that those who
made charges against the management
were professional fault-fnders and grum-
blers; that the kickers would not be
satisfied with anything and that the vet
Grams who were put out of the home
we're dismissed for just aud sufficient
cause.
Two Factions in Home.
The inmates of the soldiers home are
divided into twe ons sac cf the
factions which appears to be in the
majority is satisfied with the manage
ment, while the minority contends that
the situation is not as it should be- The
investigating committees were accom-
panied by perhaps sixty members of the
Legislature who inspected the buildings
and grounds and mingled with the vet
Grams, listening to their praises and
complaints. The buildings all are iii
good condition, but the grounds in the
rear of the home are not in the shape
that they should be. This, however, IS
not the fault of the manag cement The
state has not furnished enough money
to care for the grounds. The tract of
land on which the home is located Gov
ers over eighty acres. If large sec
tion of it was placed IN cultivation and
food crops produced, it would go far
toward reducing the cost of maintaining
he home
