Saturday, that caused Little River
to leave its banks and flood many
stores in the business. section Of the
city by Saturday night. The water
reached a stage only two feet below
the great flood of Nov. 10, 1906,
when it backed up Ninth street
nearly to Virginia street. This time
the water reached about one hum
dred feet beyond Main and flooded
only two stores. those of j. y Cook
and Bassett & Co., the water stand
ing 10 inches deep on the floors.
The water continued to rise until
about 10 o'clock at night. when the
cold wave arrived just in time to
stop the rain and before daylight
Sunday the river had returned to its
banks.
Fortunately the rise occurred tnlS
time in the day time and the nerct-
ants had time TO raise their counters
and remove their goods out of reach
of the water and no very great dam.

The water W S 6 inches deep on
the floor of the |, c, depot at the
foot Of Ninth Street and the cellars
of all stores on the West side Of
Main street from 9Th to 10th were

Squeeze Held Valid.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The supreme
curt of the United States has laid
down the far-reaching principle that
corners" of interstate commodities,
such as articles of clothing and food.

Sherman law was concerned the in
dictment in the New York federal

Scales, Frank H. Hayne and William
P. Brown, for "conspiring to run an
alleged cotton corner" was valid.

BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY.

The new iron bridge at Second

was swept off its piers and lies in the
water below the dam. 1t is a small

20-foot approaches on each side. II
is believed that it can be replaced at
an expense of a few hundred dollars.
The City will probably raise the con-

building the structure and get It
above the high water mark.
Down on Water street the whole

SHEPPARD MAY NOT RACE
Cut and Bruised in Accident
When Train Jumps Track.

On account OF injuries received I'm a rail-
road wreck early on Monday morning.
Mel Sheppard, Of the Irish-American Atm
letic Club may be unable to start in the
600-yard championship run at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night, for
which he was one of the favorites.
Sheppard ran in Kansas City last Sat
urday night and was on his way home
when the five coaches of the Wabash flyer
from Detroit to Buffalo, on which he was
a passenger. rolled down a twenty-foot
embankment
He called James T.. Sullivan. chairman
Of the championship committee. on the
phone Yesterday afternoon and told him
that he was badly cut and bruised and
thought it would be impossible for him TO
run in the games.
"Shep" stated that when the train left
the tracks the car in which he was rid
ing slid down the embankment and
turned over three times. and finally inn
bedded itself in the earth nearly one hun
dred feet away from the tracks with
another car piled OH top Of it.
1t was expected that Sheppard would
give Ted Meredith. Ira Davenport, Tom
Halpin. Abel Kiviat and Ray Bonsib a
great fight for the honors in the 6"-yari
run.
Mr. Sullivan received a letter from Ted
Meredith yesterday in which he said that
he was in great condition and expected TO
run the race OF his life
Never before in the history of the ANA =
teur Athletic Union has there been such
large advance sale of tickets for these
games, and it is confidently expected that
the Garden will be packed to the roof
when tn clerk of the course calls: "All

Tickets are on sale at A. c. Spaldine X

AMERICAN STRAIN BARRED
Of the Stations Ethelbert Is
Eligible, but Flint Rock, a
Son of Rock Sand, Has
the "Taint."

Exactly how far-reaching is the recent
French ruling against the registration Of
American thoroughbreds in the stud book
of France is set forth in a copy of the
prohibition that was received yesterday
by w. II. Rowe. register Of the Jockey
Club. The new rule becomes effective on
March 10. and such a date makes II GER
tain that the fosls dropped this season
by American matrons in France will be
ineligible for registration.
August Belmont, chairman Of the
Jockey Club, will find his French breeding
farm, at Haras de Nilers, sadly handi-
capped, although. as matter Of fact, he
has a greater number of brood mares tnat
will remain eligible under the ruling than
probably any of the other American own
ers. with the exception Of ". X. Wander
bilt. Frank J. Gould. and few other
sportsmen who have campaigned for "A
long time with extensive establishments
in France, and have bred and bought
French and English horses almost exclu-
sively
At Haras de Villers Mr.. Belmont has
two stations and thirty-one mares. One
Of these stations. Flint Rock. son Of
Rock Sand, becomes ineligible by reason
of his dam, Fizgig, tracing to Lexington.
Ethelbert is Of imported strain on both
sides of his pedigree. and accordingly ell
gible.
