FILTERING AND SELF-MEASURINt
GASOLINE TANK.

We have installed a Bow
ser Self-Measuring Case
line Tank.
This outfit not only auto
matically measures gasoline
but filters it as we'll, all
in one operation. Attached
to it is a hose for filling any
receptacle at a distance from
the machine, such as that
generally required by auto
mobiles. If you want your
tank filled quickly, and the
gasoline filtered and meas
ured as it goes in, just drive
your car alongside of our
warehouse and see how quick
ly we can let you get started
on your way. Not a drop
wasted. Time is money.
See the point?

A dastardly attempt at assination took
place at Goldman station last Monday
night. Mr.. Edgar C. Collins, proprietor
of the store at that place, was standing
on the rail road track in front of his store
at about clock when some person APP
preached him from behind. Mr.. Collins
heard a slight noise and at the same time
pistol was thrust against his side and
just as Mr.. Collins turned the pistol was
fired the bullet piercing Mr.. Collins
clothing but, fortunately inflicting no
wound. The assassin fled as soon as he
fired the shot and Mr.. Collins, who was
standing on the rail, losing his balance,
fell to the ground. Recovering himself as
soon as possible Mr.. Collins fired two shots
at the fleeing assassin, but without effect
At the time of this writing the above
are all the facts connected with this out
rageous affair which have come to the
Gazette's knowledge.
The section foreman at Waterproof, a
man named Grizzle, was arrested on Tues
day by Constable ]. ID. Shelton and lodged
in the parish Jail charged with the crime.
He will doubtlessly be tried at this term.
Mr.. Collins is one of our most popular
citizens and we heartily congratulate HIM
on his almost miraculous escape.

GASOLINE BoaT suRRfD.

A letter from Capt Pierre Trudel, u.
&. Tensas, at Yokono, Miss. October %,
says: 81 respectfully report the wreck of
what is supposed to be the gasoline boat
Clifton of Baton Rouge, formerly owned
by Capt. Silas Jones Of that city. The
boat was destroyed by fire and the cause
of the wreck is "A mystery, Us nobody has
been able to locate any member of her
crew. A fisherman said that he went to
the rescue at the time the boat was in
light blaze, but he could not find any one
when he reached her. That is the only
information that has been received up TO
this time. The wreck is now lying on the
Sergeant Point Bar, opposite Cannon
Point light, about % miles below Vicks-
burg The fisherman stated that the boat
was burning on the 2lst, between the
hours of l and 2p m"
Capt Jones, the gentleman referred to
in the above clipping from the Natchez
Democrat, was in st. Joseph on Tuesday
and called on both Mr.. A. b. Ratclilf
and Mr.. J. E. Byram, old acquaintance
of his. Relating the story of the accident
by which he lost his gasoline boat and
very near lost his life, the Captain stated
that while making landing the boat
struck snag, knocking a hole in the
hull and causing leak. Taking a lamp
the Captain reached down into the hold
to cork the leak with Oakum when at
once the boat was covered with a sheet
of flame, burning his hands severely:
Finding there was no saving the boat,
the Captain jumped into the river and
made his way to the bank. The only
other person on the Boat, negro helper,
also made good his escape from the burn |
ing craft, which was consumed to the
waters edge.
