The log cabin Democrat., 1913-06-23

Little Rock, June 23.-The head quarters of the two gubernatorial candidates are thronged with politi- clans from all sections of the state today, who came to Little Rock in search of information regarding the gubernatorial contest. The partisans of the candidates are making all kinds of rash claims as to majorities which, when sifted, are found to be entirely groundless. Judge Hays headquarters issued a statement last evening claiming the election by 5,70O majority. These claims are all based upon reports received by his friends over the state. At the Brun- didge headquarters reports are on file showing that MT. Brundidge is in the neighborhood of 2,500 ahead of Judge Hays. One feature of the election upon which all are agreed is that not more than 60 per cent of the normal Democratic vote was boiled yesterday, especially does this apply to the coun- try precincts in north, northeast and northwest portions of the state. Many we'll informed politicians believe that it will require the official count to de- termine the result.
 The Democratic state committee will meet in Little Rock the latter part of the coming week to count the vote. Storms in North Arkansas crippled the wire service to such an extent that only a few messages have been received from that section. It | is believed that section holds the bal ance of power.
 Incomplete returns show that Brun- didge has carried Cleburne county For the three principal cities, Heber Springs, Higden and Quitman, MT. Brundidge boiled 211, while Judge Hays secured but 72.
 T. A. Helm, a prominent attorney of this city, went to Fl Dorado to- night to take legal steps to contest the returns from Union county, which reported 1,500 majority for Judge Hays in out of 25 townships.
 At midnight Frank Milwee, mana ger for MT. Brundidge, said: "We are positive that MT. Brundidge has won the race by a safe majority. We have heard from counties which will swell his majority beyond the possi- bility of Judge Hays overtaking it. Izard will give us $50 majority, Bax- ter 100, Boone 300, Crittenden 450, Fulton 500, Garland 250, Phillips

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, June 23, 2:35 D. m.- The unofficial figures received up to this hour from Saturdays primary election show that Judge Hays is still leading Brundidge, his majority on the face of the present returns being 1,544.
 Brundidge's managers still claim that the indications for his election are good, and that several Brundidge counties are yet to be heard from, while all the strong Hays counties have been reported.
 At the Hays headquarters net majority of 6,073 in 43 counties is claimed. The Hays managers assert that further returns will increase his lead to about 5000.

MAN browns IN SIX.
INCHES OF WATER.
Cornelius Churchill, Driven
from Burning Barn, Falls in
Gutter and Loses Life.

Driven by smoke and fame from his
sleeping place in the barn of the
Farmers Feed Company, Passaic
avenue and Chapel street, at day
light today, Cornelius Churchill, so
spot 200 feet from the burning build
ing. where he fell in the gutter.
An hour later he was found dead
drowned in six inches of water.
While Churchill lay unconscious in
the gutter, just out of the radius of
light made by the blazing frame
structure, the firemen were wetting
down the fire with four streams, pour
ing tons of water into the flames.
The steaming water flowed from the
building into the gutter and then
along past the spot where Churchill
lay with his head in the gutter.
The barn is the last building on
Passaic avenue, and as there are no
hydrants below Chapel street the
firemen had no cause to go as far
down as the spot where the man met
his death. A small boy attracted by
the reflection of the blaze in the sky
had run across a field toward it and
came upon Churchilfs body lie
called to fremen of No. 16 Engine
Company. who were at the nearest
part of the building and they ran to
Churchill's aid. They attempted to
induce artificial respiration, while an
ambulance was summoned, but were
unsllccessful. The ambulance sur
peon pronounced Churchill dead.
Churchill was well known by the
fishermen who went to the banks IN
the steamer Johanna about fifteen
years ago. He was the chef on the
boat and Was very popular, the police
being among his many friends. Sew
eral years ago his wife died, and
since he has lived an irregular life,
taking frequently to drink. During
the last week he had been intoxicated
almost all the time. He ap-
peared at his boarding-heuse at h62
Ferry street at 10 o'clock last night,
but only stayed FOR a few minutes.
1t is supposed that he stayed ni
saloon until 1t closed up and then
made his way to tic barn to sleep.
Churchill had brother, VINO is
said to be the captain of river boat
on the Passaic river, and another
brother in Washington, N j., who is
reputed to be well-to-dO Apme
months ago Churchill was found
overcome by gas in ibis Soom and was
charged with attempted suicide. He
was later released when an investi-
CATION revealed that II was an acci-
dent.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $1,000. Captain Gasser and
the police are investigating e origin
of the fire.

REPORTS MESOTHORIUM
AS A SURE CANCER CURE

BOSTON, Aug. 22.-Dr. Francis D.
Donoghue, who has returned on the
Arabic from the Cancer Congress at
Brussels and the Medical Congress in
London, announces that great excite
ment prevails in Germany over the
use of mesothorium as cure for
cancer. This proouct, which is found
in Brazil, North and South Carolina
and Colorado, has been experimental
with, and, it is said, can cure GER
tain forms of cancer.
Mesothorium is a rayless product
of thorium which soon becomes ac-
tive through transformation into
radiothorium. At first the price of
mesothorium was about one-sixth of
that of radium, but since it has
proved so desirable for cancer cases
the price has gone up.

FINDS FATHER BELIEVED
DEAD FlFTY-THREE YEARS

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 22-
Mrs. Miller French, of Clatskanie,
Ore, left here today with her aged
father, from whom she has been sepa-
rated for fifty-three years, believing
him dead. The discovery that he was
still alive came about recently when
Mrs. French attempted TO secure
pension as the daughter of a sup
posedly deceased veteran of the Civil
War.
Her father, Louis B. Hunt, had
parted from his wife when he enlisted
at Buffalo in ELI when his daughter
was only 2 years old. 1t was re-
ported later that he had been killed
in the war, but he returned in '65, to
the amazement of his friends, who
told him that his wife had believed
him dead and had married another
man. Like Enoch Arden, he turned
his back on Buffalo, leaving his wife
in ignorance and to the new happiness
she had found.
