DANGER SEEMS
ALMOST OVER
Flood Conditions Improving at Lake
Charles, But it Will Be Several
Days Before Normal C0ndi-
lions Can BE Restored.

Lake Charles, La, Oct. 3.-Flood
conditions continued to improve here
today. Calcasieu river and the lake
were slowly receding and further dan.
ger from their overflow appears to
be over. Business in the city, how
ever, is still practically suspended.
and it will be several days before
anything like normal conditions pre-
vail. Boats are the only means OF
transportation in many parts Of the
city.
The heaviest loss from the flood
will fall on the rice crop. This has
been variously estimated from $1,000
900 to $1,5OO.OOO, dependent upon
weather conditions after the water
has receded from the fields. The rail-
roads have suffered greatly and much
live stock and other crops have. been
lost. Improved conditions are report
ed from all points in the flooded coun-
try In this section.

NO MORE FEED TAGS

Decision Handed Down BY. Judge
Trieber Cuts Off 100000 State
Revenue.

Little Rock, Oct. 3.-Under the
provision of the decision given by
Judge Trieber in federal court Fri
day, involving the validity Of the feed
inspection act, the state will no
longer sell any tax tags, But the in
spection will be continued by the
Commissioner, with whom all dealers
are to be registered as heretofore,
and they will be required to place
tags on the packages showing the
analyses.
The tax has been yielding the state
about 100000 a year, and prior to
this year, this fund was retained
by the Commissioner, but the last
Legislature transferred it to the Gem
eral revenue fund, and appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose Of Inspection.

may obtain In the Thaw case before
any supreme court grand jury In New

that he will recover unless complica-
tons arise.
The whole city practically was
aroused by the explosions and gather
ed about the bank.
Whenever anyone approached near
the sentries they We're stopped with
warning or a shot:
stop where you are am the cap
tain. Go back"
And the citizens promptly retired to
safety.
Two brothers, Oscar and w. e. Cox
by concealing themselves behind
trees, managed to get within Is feet
of the robbers. but were driven back.
One Prisoner Used as a Shield.
Henry Wilson, prominent citizen
of Fulton, was taken prisoner soon
after the crowd of several hundred
spectators began to assemble, and
used as shield.
One of the robbers, his captor
knocked him down and forced him to
call out to the crowd not to Moot, as
their shots might kill him.
Finally Leave the Bank.
The robbers kept up their work in
the bank from to 2:30 o'clock, while
the crowd was getting larger all the
time, and finally give up and left.
Assembling outside the bank, they
continued to use Henry Wilson as a
shield while they fled from the city.
AS one of the robbers passed under
an electric light he was distinctly seen
by many persons, white man, rather
stocky build, without mask This
man, when he saw that he was fair
target for the crowd of citizens, fired
six shots ar1the light and broke it,
helping to cover his retreat.
Marched Up the Railroad Track.
The party of six robbers still using
Wilson as an effective shield and fore
ing him to call out to the pursuers
not ITO shoot, then marched up the
railroad track to the north.
1t is not known how many shots
had been interchanged between the
robbers and the citizens, but it is
thought there were several hundred
as there was a perfect fusilade dur.
ing the two hours the robbery was in
progress.
After going up the track about a
quarter OF mile the robbers threw
Wilson down the embankment and
made their escape through the woods.
They had entered the town afoot, and
it is supposed they may have had
their horses awaiting them in the
woods near where they left the track
Sent for BlOOdhounds.
No attempt was made this morning
to pursue the robbers, but blood
hounds were sent for, and upon their
arrival at noon from Little Rock 1t
was the purpose of the officers to
send out large posse of armed men
in an effort to run them down. They
have probably sought refuge in the
river bottom.
Guns We're Stolen.
Early in the evening the store of
Will Temple was broken open and six !
shogtuns were stolen Three Of these
were found the next morning, wrap
ped in oilcloth, lying beside the rail-
road track near the point where they
left the road and took to the woods.

Fulton. Oct. 3.-The daring robbery
of the First State Bank of Dardanelle
at an early hour last Wednesday
morning was repeated at this place
between / and o'clock this morning,
when the Bank of Fulton was robbed
by party of six bandits.
The circumstances surrounding the
robbery and the methods pursued by
the bandits point almost conclusively
to the fact that the two robberies were
committed by the same men. No 9TH
er trace has been found of the gang
of yeggmen who blew up the Darda-
nellie bank and robbed it of $4,000.
City Marshal Tom Logan was seri-
ously wounded by robber.
Made a Light Haul Here.
The yeggmen made a light haul
ASve, having gotten away with only
one bag~of pennies containing from
$50 to $40. The front door of the
safe was blown off with nitro-glycer-
inc, but the robbers failed to gain an
entrance into the interior vault, where
most of the money was kept. The Of
ficers of the bank decline to say how
much money was kept there and es-
capped the clutches of the looters.

robbed the Dardanelle bank, except
that it is supposed there were seven
men in the Dardanelle job and one of
them got away
They began operations about
o'clock, after having cut all the tele-
graph and telephone cables leading
out of town, and even the cable lead
ing to the railroad station, that they
might prevent calls for help being
sent out to Texarkana, Is miles south,
or to any other point. This again is
the same method which they had pur-
sued at Dardanelle.
Used Nitro.G lycerine.
The robbers used nitro-glycerine in
their efforts to blow open the bank
vault, and six explosions were heard
The front door of the safe was blown
from it's hinges, but the interior vault
resisted all efforts to open it.
There were two men working on
the inside of the bank and four were
stationed about the bank as sentries to
warn the people away.
Whenever a citizen more daring
than the others came close to them
they opened fire.
City Marshal Is Wounded.
Tom Logan, the city marshal, at
tempted to creep up on one of the
sentries when he was fired upon and
a load of buckshot was fired into his
right shoulder. DIR. r. E. Hays wait

found Judgement in his shoulder. He
