WATER CAUGHT MIR. FIsHBURNE
Columbia Man Swept from Creek
Bridge, Saved by Tree.

Lancaster, Aug. 2.-W. r. Fish
burne, Of Columbia, had an exceed
ingly narrow escape from death here
last night in the rushing waters Of
Bear Creek, just out Of Lancaster,
where he was forced to spend the
night in a tall locust tree. He had
come yesterday afternoon to this
place from Charlotte in his automo-
bile. and was waiting in Lancaster
until the rain storm, which occurred
here IN the evening about o'clock,
was over. Fle proceeded on his way
| towards Camden and Columbia.
When he reached the forks Of the
road, about a mile out Of Lancaster,
he took the road to the right, where
as he should have gone to the left.
When he reached the wooden bridge
at the creek near the Lancaster wa
ter pS,nt he found the creek rapidly
rising about the bridge, though he
judged that he would be able to
cross all right. He proceeded to cross
the stream, but something went
wrong with his automobile. He got
out to fix it and while thus engaged
the waters of the creek. he said sud
denly closed about him like wall in
their mad rush, and soon carried
him down stream. He was hurled
some little distance before he could
swing to tree, but finally catching
onto one he climbed high into it,
where he sat shivering and cold on
limb until o'clock this morning,
when he was rescued from this peril-
Gus position by Robert Harper. Hav-
ing heard that a man was marooned
in tree at Bear Creek, below town,
Mr.. Harper went hurriedly in his car
to the rescue. Mr.. Fishburne came
on with Mr.. Harper to the hotel,
where he is resting from his terrible
experience. Aside from a few
bruises and scratches on his body
and the discomfort and anxiety of
being marooned, Mr.. Fishburne is
appa' emily none the worse from the
experience. His automobile. though
not washed away. was somewhat
damaged,

we find how these words are formed
For instance, the word "whiskey"
(frewater) in Algonquin is "Awsh-
kon-tay c-besh." Ish-ko-te" means
fire; "ni-besh." means water. 1t
can readily be seen how the combi-
nation word arises.
There certainly must be, too, an
error in chronology in making the
two stories one. That Of Cateechee
really is true romance OF history
up to the wedding Of the heroine
with her white lover. TO my mind
this should have ended the story.
If Catecchee and Issaquena were the
same, it seems strange that the
Cherokee word should have been
used in one part OF the story, and
the Choctaw word in another, and
apparently not in any interchange
