SMITH FOUGHT
TO SAVE CHILD
MEMBER OF CREW OF TITANIC
TELLS OF ACTION OF BRAVE
CAPTAIN Up TO THE VERY
LAST.

| New York, April 20.-Taking refuge
on the bridge of the Inflated Titanic,
two little children remained by the
side of Captain Smith until that por-
ton of the big ship had been swept
by water.
Survivors of the crew who went
down with the Titanic, but were saved
by clinging to an overturned lifeboat,
today told of their gallant comman-
der's effort to save the life of one
of the children. The captain died a
sailors death, and the little girl who
i had entrusted her life to his care
died with him.
"He held the little girl under one
arm," said James McGann, a fireman,
"as he jumped into the sea and en-
deavored to reach the nearest lifeboas
with the child. 1 took the other child
into my arms as was swept from the
bridge deck.
When l was plunged into the cold
water was compelled to release my
hold on the child, and l am satisfied
that the same thing happened to Cap
tain Smith.
I 81 rad gone to the bridge deck 70
assist in lowering a collapsible boat
! The water then was coming over the
| bridge and were were unable to
launch the boat properly. 1t was
overturned, ami was used as life
raft, some thirty or more of us,mostly
/ firecen, clinginG to it. Captain Smith
looked as though he were trying to
keep back the tears as he thought Of
the doomed shssp.s., -ss .. .,ss~,-,.. ~.
"He. turned to the men lowering the
boat and shouted: Well, boys, it's
every man for himself He then took
one of the children standing by him
on" the bridge and jumped into the
sea- He tried to reach the overturn
: ed boat, but did not succeed. That
| was the last / saw of Captain Smith
McGann said that Captain Smith
| from the bridge directed the towering
of the lifeboats. He said the story
that Captain Smith had committed
suicide as the Titanic was going
down was without foundation.
Denies False Report.
London, April 20.-Captain Haddock
of the Olympic, on arriving at Plym'
outh this morning, denied that the
Olympic sent out a wireless report
to the effect that the Allan timer Vir-
ginian was towing the Titanic and
that all of the lator's passengers were
safe
"The story that 1 sent the repor.
about the Virginian towing the I'll
tanic," said Captain Haddock, "is a
fragrant invention.
$50 soon as l heard of the disaster
from the Carpathia, dispatched the
news by wireless to New York, IN
forming the White Star officials of
the number of persons saved and OF
| the laundering Of the Titanic. That
was on Monday afternoon. The Olym-
pic steamed nearly 400 miles before
discovering that she would be too
late tc render any aid"

''The engineers stayed by the pumps

Second Officer Lightholder says that
the Titanic did not break in two, but
made her dive diagOnally into the sea

WHY is COLFAX FIRM?
Because Its Citizens Have Learned the
Truth. +

After reading this generous and en-.
couraging report from Mrs. Boston,
those who have the misfortune to suf-
fer, as she did, will naturally long to
get similar relief. But to get the same
good as Mrs. Boston, you should get
the same remedy. There are of course
other kidney pills but there are no 9TH
er kidney pills the same as Doan's.
That is why Colfax people demand the
genuine.
Mrs. ]. D. Boston, Colfax, La, says:
az suffered great deal from pains in
my back and hips and l always felt
tired and languid. Being told to try
Doan's Kidney Pills, l obtained box
and they gave me relief at once. At
ter / had finished the contents was
free from my trouble. !"
If your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a kid
ney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Bos-
ton had-t the remedy backed by home
testimony SOC all stores. Foster Mil

The First Through Train.

The first train to come through from
New Orleans on the L. R. & N. line,
since the high water and crevasses OF
the Mississippi river cut off trains from
that city six weeks ago, arrived at Col
fax about five o'clock Thursday after
noon, June 20. The train left New Or
leans at six o'clock Wednesday even
ing, and was about 10 hours late on its
arrival at Colfax. The next train,
leaving the city Thursday evening, ar
rived Friday morning, only about four
hours late. We understand the rail-
road tracks are bsing rapidly repaired,
and from now on we may expect trains

Woman Mangled by Train at Dry

A terrible accident occurred at Dry
Prong in Grant parish on the La. &

ternoon of Saturday, June Is. Mrs.
j. D. Johns fell under the train in some
way and was badly mangled and Grip

crushed one limb so badly it had to be
amputated above. the knee. She was
also cut and bruised very badly on the
head and shoulders. At last accounts
she was reported to be getting along
well, but it seems like miracle from
all accounts that she has escaped with
her life.
