CAIRO RESIDENTS
BECOME UNEASY
Crest Of Flood Only Short Dis
lance Upstream.

Cairo. ILL.,, April 5.-Conditions
throughout the Ohio river basin,
weather and otherwise. as reported to
the weather bureau. made it appear
to the people here that the question
as to whether the flood waters at this
point are to be held within bounds
will be decided within twenty-four
hours. Certain of these conditions
did not SAVIOR of encouragement for
Cairo.
With the crest of the flood only a
short distance upstream rain was re-
ported as universal in the territory
drained by the Ohio and its tributaries.
Only one important river, the Wabash,
was reported as falling. Both the
Cumberland and Tennessee were said
to be rising.
In addition the Mississippi, which
has been at low stage. is rising be-
tween Cairo and st. Louis. This fact
is looked upon as possibly the most Sc
rious of all, because the Ohio needs a
free outlet to prevent back up OF
waters on the levees here.
strong wind sprung up from the
northwest and il was the prediction
that il would continue. The river, now
two miles or more wide at this point,
was dashed into waves which washed
hard against the reinforcement work
on top of the leyee wall.
Water May Be Controlled.
Observer Lindsey's forecast was
that it was unlikely that the food
waters would go higher than 55.5. This
stage. it is thought. now can be con
trolled
Already seepage water stands up to
the ground foo: of several cabins near
the north end of the leyee. but its rise
is prevented by the continuous work
of powerful electrical pumps.

Cairo received its first mail since
Tuesday. 1t was brought in boat
from Mounds. through the drainage
district. the trip not being made with
out adventure. The pilot of the launch
carried a passenger whose weight was
said to be more than 300 pounds.
The passenger fell from the boat
and would have drowned but for the
fact that he was able to grasp a tele-
graph wire few inches ont of the
water He was finally dragged aboard
a cutter by naval reserves returning
from Mounds with blankets and tents.

MONTANA MOB
LYNGHES NEGRO
Hangs Him to Telephone Pole
for Double Murder.

Mondak, Mont, April "a sheriff
and his deputy are dead and their
negro slayer was hung to telephone
pole in this city.
The killing of Sheriff Thomas Court
ney occurred at the camp of the Union
Bridge and Construction company,
about three miles west of here. Deputy
Sheriff Richard Burgmeister, wound
ed five times by J. G. Collins, the
crazed negro, died in hospital at
Wiliston, n D., just across the stat
line.
Collins, who is about thirty-four
years old, came here two months ago
to enter the employ of the constmc-
ton company, which is erecting a
bridge over the Missouri river for the
Great Northern railroad. The negro
was staying with another colored man,
who recently sold his shack to third
negro named Patterson.
When Patterson arrived at the camp
to claim his property Collins assaulted
Patterson's wife with his fists. Pat
terson returned to Mondak and swore
out warrant for Collins. Sheriff
Courtney and Deputy Sheriff Burg
meister of Sheridan county arrived
here and swore in E. p. Wilson of this
city as deputy.

Negro Disarms Deputy.

The men went to the construction
company camp. Wilson entered the
Office of the company and inquired if
the negro was there. Hardly had he
uttered the words than Collins sprang
from behind the door and disarmed
the deputy.
Leaving Wilson in the Office he hur-
ried into the open, meeting the sher-
if. He fired at Courtney twice. Court

The wounded man was hurried to a

After the double shooting Collins

sought hiding in the brush. A posse
of Mondak citizens armed themselves
and started in pursuit Surrounded

up.
When brought to Mondak. lynching
was threatened, but cooler heads sue

PLAY|NGSTATUS
Of ROBERTSON
Up TOM CRAW
'Muggsy Must Decide Whether
He Wants a Fleet SIugger
or Good TwirIer.
BY Damon Runyon.
7 EW YORK, Oct. Whether ii
\ fleet footed slugger is more

ileet-tooted slugger is more
valuable than a sensational
pitcher is a question that must be
determined by John j. McGraw next
spring. when he settles the playing
status of Davy Robertson.
Reports from the South at the con-
clusion of the Southern Association
csmpd gu this year were to the effect
that Days left arm had recovered its
pitching cunning, ana that he was
demonstrating In practice that he
could buzz the ball through with all
the speed that made him one of the
most desired youngsters Of his time.
This report is confirmed by Mike
Finn. who had Davy,with him on the
Mobile club. While Finn did not use
Davy as a pitcher in 1913, Mike says
that would be R6bertson's steady job
were he in McGraw's place. He de-
clarcs Davy has astounding speed and
curves, and that in his. judgment he
would be marvel as a hurler.
Robertson Sure Can Hit.
However, Davy can hit better than
that for Finn. Moreover. he is
streak on the bases, and he can play
first base and the outfleld-a little
better first base than the outfield,
perhaps John j. NLcGraw would not
exactly detest a Noungster who can
hit 500 in either place. although, like
any other manager, he can always
find room for a great left handed
pitcher
II all depends on where DsVy shows
the greatest skill. He was apparent
~ designed to be a pitcher. but then
Mike Donlin was apparently designed
for the same purpose, only TO find
real fame as an out1elder.
Started in Tidewater League.
DaNN started his professional career
as a hurler for Elizabeth City in the
Tidewater League. where his record
caused legions OF scouts to hover over
that section of the country until the
young fellow was grabbed by the
Giants
Mctiraw has been quite pa tient with
this lad. After signing a contract
which contained stipulation that he
would not play football, Davy went
ahead and played just one more
game, winding up with an injury to
his shoulder that has left his final
fate In a baseball way matter of
doubt up to the present time.
He is a wonderful all-around ath-
lete. is Davy with temperament, as
well as ability, and anyone who saw
him play in the Southern League last
season does not doubt that he is
booked for a regular job next year in
the National League
DaVy did not try out his pitching
arm until along toward the close of
the season, and then only in practice
but from what Finn says, he has en-
tirely recovered from his injury. and
he no longer suffers the slightest
twinge when he cuts loose

16 years of age, SO now he has been
a fighting man for nine years. In

more than a hundred fights, and has

Well. not long ago Packey
McFarland's bit for a ten round bout
in New York was $1,000, something
much better than each of the Athleti-
les rake off from the Worlds Series.
Which is a lot of money for a
young man of rs to draw down for
80 minutes actual work. And when
this sum is contrasted to the weekly
wage of the same youngster when he
worked about the stockyards of Chi
cago and dragged down from $3.50
to 81 every time the ghost walked,
there seems to be something in the
idea that clean living pays.
Mcfarland to-day is understood to
be worth at least 100000, and every
penny of it is his through the fact
that he decided that success in life
was worth more than smoking, booze
fighting and the other vices of those
with whom he began life, but quickly
passed in his climb upward.
FIGHTING, even Mcfarland acknowl-
edges is not very classy business.
He would much rather be a captain
of industry, but when he determined
TO make real business of boxing,
he went into the game to succeed,
and by strict attention to his bust
ness made a nice little fortune and
also made thousands of friends all
over the country through his gentle
manly behavior and right living.
