HER PREmonITIoN OF DEATH
Circumstances Tha& Led Prominent
Woman 70 1--WE Ever In Fear Of
impending Disaster.

A most touching account Of the
premonition Of coming trouble which
she experienced before the tragic
drowning Of her children 1t Paris. was
given by Isadora Duncan, the lancer.
whose poetic interpretations charmed
the people Of two continents.
Two months before the unhappy &C
cident, the bereaved woman was con-
tinuously haunted with visions Of
death. Consulting her physician. she
was assured that she was suffering
from nerves." When playing in Rus
sia shortly afterward. so strong was
her conviction. one night. that her
own death was imminent. that she left
. letter containing her last words"
on her dressing table. before going
onto the stage. Again one night on
the train she seemed to hear Chopin's
Funeral March all night long. At the
same time she seemed to see q vision
which produced SO vivid an impression
that on the stage next evening. en-
tirely without rehearsal, she repro
duced 1t In motion. reducing her audi
ence to tears. "All through my per
formance, Miss Duncan says: Il felt
as though l were marching to my
grave through an icy wind. and after
ward with a melody OF resurrection. .
sort Of ecstacy that was not earthly"
The very day Of the terrible acci-
dent. the mother had packed her little
ones. who had accompanied her with
their nurse to Paris. for a little outing,
where their lodgings were. az she was
to remain In Paris for the rest Of the
day: and In saying goodbye she play
fully kissed the lips Of one Of her
children through the glass. Contact
with the cold pane struck . chill to
the mothers heart and . strange fore
boding overcame her as the motor
whizxed out of sight. A few minutes
later the children were hurled from
the overturned car into the Seine.

Editor Bosser Banner.
Dear Sir: We wish to inform the
public that the bridge across Bodcau at
the place known as the Braley Ford has
been completed. 1t is constructed of
very heavy oak timber and spans two
channels of the bayou; is $50 feet in
length, and contains 700 poupds of nails.
The bridge will add greatly to the con-
venience of the people of the neighbor-
ing communities of both Bossier and
Webster Parishes, as crossing can now
be made when the stream is at high
stage. $780,.
We wish to heartily thank those who
so literally contributed funds for the
bridge, and more especially do we owe
thanks to our worthy Police Juror, Mr..
N. w. Stewart, and Mr.. Payne of the
Webster side, who so faithfully worked
for the bridge. +. .
Another bridge in our community de-
serving mention is that across Dooley
creek, on the public road leading from
old Buckhouse postofice. to Bradley
Ark, which has also just been com.
pleted. C.

TWO BIG DRILLS
FOR MANHATTAN
TO SAMPLE
GRAVEL
TEST HOLE TO DECIDE lF THE
GOLD VALUES HOLD AT
DEPTH.

Tomorrow morning the Wittenberg
teams will leave for Manhattan, haul
ing the largest drill ever seen in this
part of the country. This Is an i'm
mense piece of machinery from the
Cyclone Drilling company, of Orrville,
Ohio, and is billed to the CONNER
cial Mines and Milling company, 9th
erwise known as the Hubbard syndi-
cate. The machine weighs over seven
tons and occupied a fiat car. The
freight alone cost trifie over. $1,000.
The drill looks like a monster road
engine of the petrol type and Is ope-
rated by gasoline with casing and
capacity to sink to depth of l,2OO
feet. This drill will be installed on
the Big Pine right over one of the
numerous drifts in that property and
work begun without delay. Another
huge drill of the same pattern will
arrive in the course of five days and
this will also be placed to work prob
ably on the Mayfiower. The cores
will be used for making mill runs
and from these results the company
will be in position to decide To
accept or reject the option which II
holds on number of Manhattan
properties. If the sampling proves
satisfactory there will be short delay
before plans for the construction Of
a 500 ton mill will be placed on tht
/ drafting boards.
