the lower Mississippi valley last night
from Natchez north to Arkansas City,

flood sufferers in the district mum
dated by the Skipwith crevasse near
Mayersville, Miss. and increasing the
fears entertained for the safety of re-

pitched along the levees north Of here
for temporary shelter to the homeless
people who are crowding the river
enbankments.

ready four feet of water in many
places in that town and the property
will be great.
A THRILLING STORY.
o. H. Keep. Jr., flood refugee, told
g. thrilling story Of the escape from
death of NJ. B. Boyd, who owns the
Woodlawn plantation, in front of which
the crevasse occurred. The plantation
bells were rung as warning to the ne
groes to fee and Mrs. Boyd hurried at
once toward the levee. The water had
reached her home and she was forced
to wade in water waist deep before she
finally reached the levee- Some of her
live stock was lost.
A negro named Brown who attempt |
ed TO save his horses was drowned, I
Keep was informed. Mr.. Keep says |
that many persons are marooned in !
their homes and the conditions in the |
section just below Mayersville are dis |
Yesterday several negroes |

New Orleans, La. April 24.-Ihe
Dunbar kidnapping case, with the maze
of contradictions involving the identity
of the four year-old child taken from
the tinker of Columbia Miss, has
stirred Louisiana and Mississippi as
has no affair in years. The positive
Identification of the child as their
missing boy, by Mr.. and Mrs. c. p
Dunbar, and the equally positive as
sertions of w. G. Walters, the tinker,
the child is son of an unmarried wo-
man named Julia. Anderson, of Barnes
Vile, NJ c., coupled with the partially
corroborative statements of several
persons who assert they saw Walters
with a 4-year old child weeks before
the Dunbar child was stolen, have
served to divide opinion into three dis
tinct camps.
To many the case is distinct
mystery-they think there was too
much hardness in the Identification Of
the child by Mrs Dunbar and they
cannot reconcile the failure of the child
to promptly recognize her as it's
mother. Others accept without ques-
ton the Identification of the child as
the missing Robert Dunbar, while stiil
others believe the poor tinkerss story
OF having had tie child in his posses
sfon before the date Of the Dunbar
kidnapping
RECOGNIZED PHOTOGRAPH.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yeptha Bflbo, of Pop
larville, Miss, declare that from pho
tographs Of the child taken at Colum-
bia, Miss. where Walters is in jail,
they are able to identify it as the same
child which Walters left at their home
for several weeks last July before the
date of the Dunbar Kidnapping. About
two months ago Mrs. Bilbo says she
saw the boy again in Poplarville and
he recognized her and called her
grandma The boy was called Bruce
by the tinker when he ives left at the
Bilbo home and the child which has
been identified by the Dunbars an
swers to the name of Bruce.
Walters has talked freely and gave
names of persons in different states
whom he says will readily identify
the disputed child as the one he had
with him weeks and months before
the Dunbar child was kidnapped.
CLAIMED 5Y DuN5ARs.
on the other hand. the Dunbars have
the child taken from the
tinker by scars on the foot, moles on
the neck and back. birthmark in
herited from It's mother, scar on the
forehead, a deformity of the two little
toes of the left foot, a birthmark in
the hair inherited from the father, and
a cowIick.
Besides. the child is credited with
peculiarities in speech in temperament
which the Dunbars assert makes the
all the more positive.
Neighbors of the Dunbars who came
to New Orleans yesterday and today,
have identified the child as Robert
Dunbar.
The boy answers to the name, Rob-
ert, or Bruce. and has frequently
called Mrs. Dunbar mamma his
failure to talk more freely about his
home and about Walters. whom he
calls ugly papa" the Dunbars at
tribute to intimidation caused by
numerous whippings which they assert
were administered by the tinker.

made speech at Flemlngsburg
Monday and il did our soul good
to the bottom of our feet to read
it. He showed how the railroads

$3.50, 900, 900 in dividends on their

that railroads of say $4,000, 900

$40. In this instance they of

that the bill will pass the Senate
practically unsmended. Here
.tOfore, when a bill is introduced
by Republican Congress a few
Of the items at least are in the
interest of the public, but when
the bill gets before a Republi.
