ENCAMPMENT MAY
Be HELD THIS YEAR
Indications Are Three Regi-
ments of State Will Be
Ordered Into Camp

Montgomery, June 1.-(Special)-Mem
oers of the state militia are interested in
reports emanating from various quarters
to the effect that the three infantry reg
iments, Alabama National Guard, Will
go into encampment some time during the
summer. While all these reports lack
confirmation, the opinion pretty generally
prevails that regimental encampments
OF the First regiment at Pickett Springs
near Montgomery, and the encampment of
the Second regiment at Birmingham at
the same time The Fourth regiment will
probably SO into encampment at some
other place in the state
Owing to the lack of funds In the treas
ury. the governor at first announced that
no encampments would be held this year,
governor had no intention of changing his
mind During the past three weeks, how
ever, it has been ascertained that the
treasury Is probably not so low as was be-
lleved, and the impression now obtains
that the governor will order the reg-
ments into encampment.
While nothing has yet been definitely
decided as to the regimental encampments
this year, rumor has it that the First and
Second regiments will go into encamp-
ment on July % at Montgomery and Bir-
respectively. Srhere has been
some talk to the effect that the Fourth
regiment may go into encampment at
Horse Shoe Bend battle ground
Governor O'Neal is expected to make
some definite announcement within the
next few days relative to the encamp-
ments this year.

Tragic neatl,

FARKERSBURG-James Crossea,
who resided in the eastern section OF
this county, adjoining the Ritchic
county line, met a tragic death a
few days ago and conflicting stories
are afloat in regard to 1t. Crossen,
who was so years of age, veteran
OF the civil war, resided with his in
valid wife at the point named. The
most authentic story in regard to
his death is that lie went to the we'll
to dT6w a buck of water and that
the rope broke and that he went into
the well to recover the bucket. The
supposition is that he was overcome
by gas or was too feeble to make his
way4out and was drowned. His long
continued absence alarmed his wife,
but she was too III to make a search,
and 1t was not until some hours az
terward that the body was recover
ed. 1t is said that daughter of the
deceased committed suicide a few
years ago by drowning in the same
we'll.

trtaed the chest, touching the upper

it was feared that the spine had
been affected and that the boy
would be paralyzed and never be
able to walk. For several weeks he
had no feeling in one OF his legs
